Moscow, September 25 – AiF-Moscow . The famous announcer, host of “Time” Igor Kirillov interview with the weekly “Arguments and Facts” talked about what he thought of modern television, and how it differs from the TV Soviet times.

«In contrast to the Soviet era, the first persons do not show at the start of the program” Time “, but closer to the middle. This is a big step forward in the direction of democracy and freedom. I do not see this “retouching” of reality, which in Soviet times. Then we were in a double standard: one talked in the kitchen, the other – in the meetings and screens. So today, when some opposition members shout that we do not have the freedom that we have censorship, it’s just funny to hear, “- said in an interview with the master of the” AIF ».

And before that, when all the arts were under the pressure of ideology and censorship, artists, trying to escape from the clutches of these, looking for special forms (used Aesopian language, metaphors) and created magnificent works in the theater, literature, film, “- says speaker.

told Kirillov and that it in today’s TV does not like. Speaker noted that the current information presenters do not offer the viewer his assessment of events, and the viewer, in the opinion of the master, has to feel empathy.

Television, said Kirillov, reflects what is happening in our lives: “And we are experiencing now is what Confucius said,” God forbid you live in interesting times. ” Especially sorry youth, who begins his career in an era of change. I was most worried about the fact that our society is divided into two opposing camps – the very rich and the poor. The worst – that a lot of the poor ».

In addition, the speaker said that in meetings with the audience in the province of questions were “smart, hard-hitting and hard”, but also “felt sincere unity».
