Short documentary from around the world that celebrate curries and resilience in times of time with out is the was select on tuesday in the Russian Media criticism of the war effort was invisible. Its now creeping into the coverage. Russian history isnt what it used to be. We look at the official efforts to scrub it, clean and Iran Supreme Leader offers and tweets his response to the continuing demonstrations. Ah, hello Richard Gibbs burton eureka listening post where we provide explanatory journalism about journalism and the global news media. We begin with a narrative that is shifting in russia since the kremlin annexation of 4 provinces in Eastern Ukraine, its forces have suffered setbacks, some russian voices on the airwaves, and online have grown more critical, not a Vladimir Putin that comes with consequences, but of the Russian Military, these arent anti war voices. For the most part, those have been silenced. The pro war putin faithful, are now grappling with defeats. They never expected to see Russian Troops in retreat from towns likely mon. Inside the annexation zone, the generals taking the flock are getting it from some public figures who carry considerable clouds on line loyalists on usually subservient state Television Channels are echoing that, and the military bloggers go to sources for russians trying to find more authentic reporting from the battlefield or painting a picture thats everybodys bleak. The angle of this story that has not drawn enough attention, the nuclear one and pollutants refusal to take that option off the table. Our starting point this week is moscow. I mean, if youre a russian in a state controlled new studio these days, you were advised to choose your words very carefully. Ive done enough which theres no left. But at them, when you my shift store at the much, all of them, even someone like margarita, some money on the head of the state owned news outlet, r t needed reminding of that after she appeared on another channel, row c o, one, the topic, rushes unilateral annexation on september 30th of parts of Eastern Ukraine and its military humiliating retreat and from some of that same territory the very next day. There also been some of that as the linear strategic if youd suggest to go so in your switch they, it should come under william as well, probably in your wifes time. And it was the kind of analysis that will get you call them back food state, excuse me, out of some sort of us. But he to be its, i get out and crane. They me just kidding me. So if youre a political player and youre online, like the oligarchy, you have any promotion or for amazon could be off Vladimir Putin man in chechnya, you tend to have more leeway. But not that much. So you ripped the underline, its and go after putins generals, calling them unfit to lead on the battlefield. There is a thing in the russian side. Gotcha, by your reply. He, its r as good boy jasa baths are where sod sounds fossils. So the idea is, if you dont criticize, sorry to criticize people who are in charge of from implementing his decisions, its a relatively significant moment because we have not seen the criticism coming from such hiring. People like up there with the chechen leader runs on her dear of and of proportion. Who is an allegorical ally of pollutants, criticize the war effort and scathing terms. Theyre not alone. Theyre important because i do of has sent troops from chechnya to either ukraine and for gordon is important because he runs this mercenary group called the wagner group. They represent a Larger Community of nationalists, of right wing nationalists who want to take the gloves off the retreat um are going down very badly. Most analysts are agreed that runs and could do, did not write the criticism of the army on his very popular telegram channel. The sort of language was the thing used did not give off the particular strong cordero from fives different groups that are close to the kremlin, vying to place responsibility on other groups on groups with him. And perhaps they have rivalries. And thats really what were seeing now, and then when you go with rumblings of rushing to stand, to provide glimpses into how Media Censorship their works. And when it does not controlling the terminology is the easy part. But when youre done now this bit that there are people that she did on both subject dont call that a war when the kremlin says its a special military operation. Dont call the latest construction order for an extra 300000 russians. A mobilization get that is that this is good lou. But who did choose to believe the tributes of it in . Its a partial mobilization. The problem occurs when fact on the ground changed too quickly for the authorities to keep up. And the official guidance is late in coming. With Media Outlets dont know what kind of terminology they can get away with. How accurate they can afford to be. Each of nato, and then when you go to battle, start basically it vacuum cleaner model when you bought him. Great. Thank you mean shows, shade if we compare what the, what the statement back on that was the telling about this war at the beginning in march. And now these are totally different wars because because back then lonely, philip bennet, it is, eat the pretty good food in the putting in nation, oppressed by the not the government would definitely support Russian Troops and russian control. And when it didnt happen, they put a bug under has to explain all the defeats and the 3 you say you need to listen to see live with about all last or what we group with a cap put on my list them. And why the military operation that was expected to, to take like 34. 00 days already last more than half a year. And there is no end in sight. Rush and searching for more reliable war reporting can no longer rely on alternative Media Outlets. They have been brought to he millions have turned to the messaging act, telegraph and military bloggers embedded with rushing forces, who offer more factual news from the front with followings in the hundreds of thousands. Sometimes more. They publish and detailed information maps of troop movements when allowed. They blog with a pro war perspective and are distinctly unhappy with the news. They are reporting. Some of them are also calling for military heads to role. And again, we start to see that looking for who is to blame flood course. One of the most popular was talking about how arrests need to be made because the military are clearly not a daring to the constitution of accusations that are coming out and remind one of even darker talent and russia history and the need for sort of purging that said these people, they are more extreme than the government, so they shouldnt be misunderstood, is thats the direction of the kremlin. But they, they are in potential. People understand they can come, come get any level formation from work or guns, leave them. Youve got this group of people who have very nation let us use, but at least they have give you access to some information about whats going on on the grow. And because of this access, they became relatively inferential. Some of the look im some of the round, they have 1000000 subscribers because people want to get extra store to the information. The opposition to this war is not from those who are anti war. They have been repressed, sufficiently in the demonstrations. The rest is now coming from a far right and far, far right, an extremist nationalist, right . But that is a very important opposition and they have their own apps. They have their own media, they have their own newsletters, gets an important trend to watch as the war goes badly. Still not just love all the angles in the ukraine stories, a Russian Media have come up short. None is bigger than the nuclear one. If we did it today and its still like shes there, i see you not sure that we go for that. You see, she Still National look at the president to tunes repeated stress that that option is on the table should russian territory come under attack was described by one moscow paper as unbelievable. Its editorial argued that to allow in words the possibility of a Nuclear Conflict is a short step towards allowing it in reality. But that was the exception. Then again, why would russian news channels be concerned by something that some of their own anchors have been suggesting for months now, with the apparent blessing of the kremlin, the chimney, but beetle gravely to get away. But it is what it is, la. Russian media does a lot of saber rattling nucleus. April rattling at them at the moment. And thats a controlled and narrative effort being built inside the kremlin. Of course thats trying to send the message to the west that he would not back call that this is not a block. His message has to be sort of backed by the whole propaganda. But atlas and this question, where are we . Oh, heading is is it is in the air, the talk of Nuclear Weapons of any kind is horrifying. There is a normalization of talk both inside russia and on our tv screens and in our media. The normalization is reckless insane. And it has intensified in terms of those around food work, perhaps more stream them for who see quicker use of it. Whereas potent may be using it for negotiation. This war has entered a very, very dangerous arena. And that i think has to be reckoned with. Well get back to russia shortly. But 1st, iran where the supreme leader, ayatollah harmony, has finally broken his silence on the protest that began there 3 weeks ago for phillips. Now, with the details, richard this past monday, i itala harmony delivered a speech that was designed both for his domestic and international audience. It was broadcast live in iran, and key parts within tweeted out. There were harmon, a 1st comment on the death of martha, a meaning. She was arrested by the so called Morality Police for not wearing a head job the way the law dictates and reportedly died while in that custody. Setting off the protest. How many called it a tragic incident bought said that the demonstrations were quote, schemes designed by the us, the fake zionist regime and some treasonous iranians abroad. As evidence of foreign meddling harmony pointed to the messages of support from western politicians and even western Media Coverage of the protests. Reporting that he said was openly supportive and unlike the coverage given to protests elsewhere. Oh, youre sober to go to jo ross on o u g m eo wall that still Uber Santa Maria on record saba about her her alarm gram, your mom full on snack, that louder, fuller matter, much louder. Even let you know that is the order. It is yours, carol carol meeting. How many was talking about the Statement Issued by the bite and white house on the wrong jamming of Internet Access . It said quote, the u. S. Is making it easier for iranians to access the internet via secure outside platforms and services, videos, images and messages posted online by iranians. Many of which have shown women removing and burning the job and public have provided a sense of what is happening that the u. S. Which has pushed the maintaining sanctions against iran, has chosen this story, this moment to ease some of them to help keep iranians on line. Thanks slow back to russia and ukraine, his story that be on the fighting on the battlefield. Pitts, one version of history against another. Russian president provided a glimpse into his thinking last year when the kremlin published an essay in Vladimir Putins name, in which he argued that russians and ukrainians are of the same slavic nation. He did it again just prior to the invasion. It is all part of a New Historical discourse, one that emphasizes russia status as a great power and mythologized as the countries passed. Among the victims of that, rewrite or russians themselves, those who can test the eraser of history. That includes one organization memorial that has spent years researching and remembering the victims of political repression. In what was the soviet union. Suddenly it is found itself on the wrong side of the law. Its been shut down that listening posts correct enough and now from moscow in a report, filmed the month before the invasion on the battle over historical memory. In russia, news, december 28th, 2021. And abysmal year for Free Expression in russia comes to a fitting conclusion with the ordering the closure of the countrys oldest human rights organization. Oh, oh. Oh lou than 30 years memorial had preserved records and artifacts from joseph stollins. Great purge. When show trials, master ref, an execution touched every level of 5 memorials, human rights censor, which has also been shut down, kept track of Political Prisoners in russia to day assembling a vast online database over pressure and russia sort of what his actual address, 1st mo, jacoby what happened in court last year was that the state exposed it, so the prosecutor spun the idea that memorial does not paint the history of our country in a positive light. That a demonizes the ussr. As a terrorist, staley thought most when we started memorial, the true scale of the repression was absolutely hidden. Memorial did a lot to open up the archive that read what is happening today, which is not just a regression, was that it is a crime against the citizens of russia because citizens have the right to know their history. Roslyn, you study the global nash to deal all me my the l. The main function of memorial was to gather evidence of the national tragedy. Our country experienced was my grandfather, mark mchale, which albert, sorry, was shot on november. The 1st 1937 more than 1000 people like him, was shot the same day outside of school. So they wanted to force him to admit that he was a trucks guest. Even though there wasnt a single shred of evidence to support that. What if the why this was the memory gathered and researched by memorial r e sliver . Well, i mean, well, madero memorial started functioning as a political organization. And that really is a pity of i remember memorial when it was created at the end of the 1980s as an organization, a to help the relatives of people who were imprisoned. And to remember them. Nowadays, it has become an ante russian political organization. Well, kit you sco organisers behind miracles argument echo the fact of the states which has grown more defensive of russia. Historical legacy. When memorial 1st surfaced in the late 19 eighties, things were different. Citizens was seeking out the truth about phobia state terror and relatively little stood in their way in 1990 my movers, memorial and still death. The soul about 15 here in moscow, on a victims of political freshen in soviet russia. It was a period of glass openness and transparency when russians were learning about the atrocities committed under joseph thought. The decision to put a hair in labianca square was significant. Were right across the road from what was the katie brief headquarters, now home to the f. S b, the federal security services. But 30 years on some of those dark chapters from russia path are being erased. History is being rewritten, possibly, or the glass table at the marapoo, china, as when Vladimir Putin came to power, where practically all the archives were closed. The people who exercised power in russia today was a former k g. B offices are members of the foreign intelligence and the fs. Being they are ideological supporters of the k g, b, and the usaa. They want to pretend that there was a short period of repression. But in reality, the whole governance system on the soviet staples based on violence is probably a significant go for that distorted le lou for the current russian leadership. The kremlin history is a tool for introducing certain men into peoples minds. What we see today is the revenge of the state security agencies which were in retreat in the early 90 nineties was still in the state no longer wants to know the truth about itself. It builds its own history and arranges it to fit its ideological purposes. Even the video logistics in a campaign to sanctify russias war, hero is playing out in Popular Culture and in public space. The government have champion patriotic film that lionized the military and a firm. Its use of for what was the level of what i mean . Mcgruther glove was at a shade of the was to ship computers. Many of the state funded blockbuster since were installing leadership. And what is known in russia of the great patriotic world. Which as you know, you dont call moscow is filled with tribute to historical figures. Patriot soon showed that the bible of the state is where you can find a pop up propaganda. Showcasing rushes military off. Some of these murals, the sponsored by historical associations run by senior officials close to the president , including bissell, opposite the kremlin. It was commissioned by the Russian Military historical society. When mikhail medical is scientific director by bid or cisco army, so the victory of his soviet army in the 2nd world war, has a crucial role and how russian self identified we have to hold on to some constance such as our victories during the patriotic laura between 12, the 1st world war, or the great patriotic family. Were these allow us to feel self sufficient in this world, or we can say to are the nations we gave you freedom where we live in a world that was created by the soviet union. In 1940, i saw your fulls though fisher. They fought for a call from missing from that narrative, inconvenient periods of history like august 1939. When Joseph Stalin and out of hitler agreed to a non aggression pat, arguably paving the way for world war that started one week later. Over time, stollins, legacy one 3rd discredited, has been rehabilitated in 2019 a survey by the nevada front. On 70 percent of russia thought he had played a positive role in russian history. A lot of city, mcguire, people are constantly told that without style in the russians would not have on the waterfall. Stallion near dilemma by the other up by the other naturally might stand in butcher. All treatin has nothing else to offer russian citizens, but he cannot offer them well from prosperity. And that is why he is only offering the images of some great periods in history, and yet come really come, brought, having shaped a grand historical narrative about russias place in the world. Vladimir putin now want to protect it. A new National Security strategy find by putin and 2021 says Traditional Russian values and historical memory are under attack and must be defended at all and yet young is fragile for russia invaded ukraine. The sweeney putin once more rebuilt his obsession with writing past wrong by questioning, ukraines historical right to exist. Paid on christie was to is my chair, and then i tried to put chicken e mails, bureaus, several stelis through. So he was, there was nothing said he was not a media city. Me, this is gail. Its a salesman. He said he slew by me 2000000 a year. When can you believe i would never have believed it 30 years ago. If someone would have told me all this would begin to repeat itself when we have not learned any worthy lessons from history. Any state, any community of people often live with miss about the past, but all with me and begins with a certain value. What is valuable for the group of people now leading russia to remain in power forever to consume, to occupy them. We can see that now with their evangelists, speech on ukraine, and to convince everyone that the state is an absolutely sacred object which cannot be encroached on in any way when you get with. And finally analyzing the words and the messaging of World Leaders can be taxi. What gets said, the tone, the delivery. But have you ever paid attention to the way they walk those few moments when a president or a prime minister, hence, for the cameras can reveal a thing or 2 that their speeches do not stefan leons, hershberger is a german comedian and actor.
