Lysenko: Russians can not be forced to pay for public television - BBC

existence of public television with a mandatory monthly fee of Russia is impossible because of the special mentality. This was stated by Director General of the “Public Russian Television” (OTR), Anatoly Lysenko, in an interview «Kommersant» .

«We always say, take the example of the” Bi-Bi-Si. ” But let’s see: in England, officials have the right to enter your home and check out how many screens you should and if you pay for them. And we the people do not even pay for utilities, and to get paid for the TV, you will need to create a federal agency to collect fees for television. With riot police and helicopter cover “- said Lysenko.

According to Lysenko, public television can only exist in a civil society that we have “yet in its infancy».

Chapter OTP also added that the OTP funding from the state budget is no contradiction with the concept of “public broadcasting».

«We do not get money from the pocket of Putin or Medvedev. These are the same our money redistributed through the budget “, – he explained.

Most of the ether

new television will take socio-political programs.

«For example, the program will be” The Social Network “, it makes the team of young guys who have, however, some experience. It is their view of life today. You will see the program “without the preface” – each day we will give 15 minutes to one or another political magazine, editor in chief of which will be able to talk about their publication and on the topics that are covered in it. We’ll give the word a variety of magazines, “Spark”, “Money”, “Expert”, “profile”, “- said the head of the OTP.

«Russian Public TV” will begin broadcasting on May 19.
