VGTRK journalist Andrey Medvedev “We ​​will never repent for our great war. Andrei Medvedev: We will never repent for our Great Victory

Decor elements 26.09.2019

A post dedicated to VGTRK journalist Andrei Medvedev was twice deleted from Facebook. First, for the distribution of pornography - this is how the administrators called a black-and-white photograph of a child killed by the Nazis. And then - for inciting hatred towards certain groups. Andrey Medvedev's post has already gone viral on social media.

This post in its first edition was deleted - for distribution of pornography. All because of the attached picture. Military photography: autumn 41st, Moscow region. Tatyana Onishchenko holds her dying daughter in her arms. Bare children's legs - what a provocation. For the second time, Andrei Medvedev's text was published without this image. And it was still blocked. Quote: "For inciting hatred towards certain groups."

"The post was about the fact that, unfortunately, it happened so historically, we have a very strong genetic memory of the pain, of the suffering that the Soviet people endured from 41 to 45. And that is why such a reaction of people to the performance is connected with this boy in the Bundestag. People saw in this disrespect for the sacrifices that our people, our great Soviet people, made. Not only Russians," said Andrei Medvedev, a political observer for the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.

The text itself, in fact, is an answer to that same Nikolai Desyatnichenko, a tenth grader from Novy Urengoy. Who, speaking in Berlin, spoke of "innocently murdered German soldiers" who did not want to fight in the "so-called Stalingrad cauldron." Andrey Medvedev's post begins like this: "If I had to speak in the Bundestag." No calls. Rather, a reminder of the cruelty of the soldiers of the Wehrmacht and the SS in relation to Soviet children and the civilian population in general. Historical facts. Nothing more.

“The point is to once again consistently humiliate Russia through the humiliation public figures who uphold historical truth. Who are not afraid to call white white and black black. Who remember the feat that our grandfathers and great-grandfathers accomplished 70 years ago. Of course, in the era of universal tolerance, in the era of absolute readiness to agree with any, the most absurd point of view, in order to show their current absolutely liberal orientation, people go for it, "says Armen Gasparyan, historian, publicist.

What exactly in this text and whose indignation aroused is unknown. Technically, for the text to be blocked, a user complaint is enough. After that, a certain "specially trained team" will consider it. And make a verdict.

“Perhaps, Facebook’s story worked here that complaints came from Ukraine, for example, and Facebook does not share country-specific complaints. That is, most likely, those who complained had some weight on Facebook. By virtue of, or there terms of stay , or the number and volume of subscribers. And Facebook counted their complaints as partly justified," explained German Klimenko, adviser to the President of the Russian Federation on the Internet.

Facebook employees invariably state that the rules are as standardized as possible and are suitable for people of any nationality. However, it is in words. In reality, it turns out quite differently.

“A post about the Great Patriotic War is suddenly recognized as inciting hatred, and photographs of a person killed during the Great Patriotic War Patriotic War child suddenly turn out to be pornography, and at the same time, posts calling for the bombing of the Donbass, I don’t know, with a nuclear strike or slaughter all the “Colorados”, or joyful exclamations, how good it is that the “Russian world” was drowned in blood in Odessa. All this is recognized as a completely acceptable and normal thing, and, of course, I have big doubts about the lack of engagement of Facebook administrators," added Andrey Medvedev, a political observer for the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.

However, it seems that the dissatisfied in this story played against themselves. And it's not just that Andrei Medvedev published the text on the same Facebook in a slightly edited version for the third time. The main thing is that thanks to the blocking and the fundamental disagreement of subscribers with them, the post was distributed on hundreds of pages and even outside resources. Where it was read and commented by hundreds of people. Where he is gaining popularity. And where to ban it from the administrators of social networks - the hands are short.

Andrey Medvedev: If I had to speak in the Bundestag like the boy Kolya... November 24th, 2017

Facebook: with Andrey Medvedev| November 23, 2017 at 07:16 pm

Okay, Facebook. Let's see who is more stubborn.





But they didn't. Do I regret it? Of course not. How can you regret that no blood was shed? How can one regret that our soldiers and officers showed incredible humanism and mercy? I bow to the highest spirit and steel will of my ancestors, who found in themselves some incredible strength not to become the same cattle as the soldiers of the Wehrmacht were. On the buckles of German soldiers was written "God is with us." But they were the creatures of hell and brought hell to our land. The soldiers of the Red Army were Komsomol members and communists, but Soviet people turned out to be much more Christian than the inhabitants of enlightened religious Europe. And they did not take revenge. They were able to feel, to understand that hell cannot be defeated by hell.
You should not ask our forgiveness, because you personally are not to blame for anything. You cannot be responsible for your grandfathers and great-grandfathers. And then, only the Lord forgives. But I'll be honest - for me the Germans are forever a stranger, an alien people. It's not because you personally are bad. It is in me that the pain of the children burned by the Wehrmacht screams. And you will have to accept that at least my generation - for which the memory of the war is the grandfather's awards, his scars, his front-line friends - will perceive you this way. What will happen next, I don't know. Perhaps, after us, mankurts will come who will forget everything. And we have done a lot for this, we have screwed up a lot ourselves, but I hope that not everything is lost for Russia. Of course we need to cooperate. Russians and Germans. We need to solve problems together. Fight ISIS and build gas pipelines. But you will have to accept one fact: we will never repent for this Great War of ours. And even more so for the victory. And even more so in front of you. In any case, I repeat, my generation. Because then we saved not only ourselves. We saved you from yourself. And I don't even know what's more important."

Facebook found "pornography" in the text of the VGTRK journalist about the war against the Nazis
RIA Novosti | 00:03 11/24/2017 (updated: 09:58 11/24/2017)

MOSCOW, November 23 - RIA Novosti. The social network Facebook twice blocked the account of VGTRK journalist Andrey Medvedev for leaving a post about a resonant speech in the Bundestag by Yamal schoolboy Nikolai Desyatnichenko. The journalist himself wrote about this on his new page.

Initially, Medvedev presented a reworked version of a speech delivered in the Bundestag, talking about the brutality of German soldiers during the Great Patriotic War. However, Facebook banned the journalist's page "for distributing pornography." Medvedev again published a post, but this time the administration social network accused him of "inciting hatred towards certain groups" (probably the Nazis) and blocked the account again.

The journalist recreated the Facebook page and published the post for the third time, but in an edited version. According to him, he "smoothed out the hardest corners", but the text changed only "slightly". AT latest edition Medvedev writes about how German soldiers dealt with Soviet children during the war.

Editorial RIA Novosti leads full text messages without edits.

"Alright Facebook. Let's see who's more stubborn.

The first time the post was deleted for distribution of pornography(!).

The second time for inciting hatred towards certain groups.

This is the third attempt. I slightly changed the text. Smoothed out the toughest spots. Let's check what happens now. How long will he stay here?

“If I had to speak in the Bundestag, like the boy Kolya, then I would probably say these words:

Dear deputies. Today I saw a miracle. And this miracle is called Germany. I walked towards you and looked at the beautiful Berlin streets, at the people, at the wonderful architectural monuments, and now I am standing here and looking at you. And I understand that all this is a miracle. That you were all born and live in Germany. Why do I think so?

Because, given what your soldiers did with us, in the occupied territories, the soldiers of the Red Army could easily leave a scorched field in place of Germany, ruins and only paragraphs of textbooks would remind that there was once such a country. It's scary, but it could happen.

You probably do not remember all the details of the occupation, but this is not necessary. I will just remind you of what the Wehrmacht and SS soldiers did to Soviet children. They were shot. Often in front of parents. Or vice versa, first they shot at the father and mother, and then at the children. Your soldiers raped children. Children were burned alive. They were sent to concentration camps. Where they took their blood to make serum for your soldiers. Children were starved. Children were eaten to death by your shepherds. Children were used as targets. Children were brutally tortured just for fun.

Here are two examples for you. A Wehrmacht officer was prevented from sleeping by a baby, he took him by the leg and smashed his head against the corner of the stove. Your pilots at the Lychkovo station bombed the train on which they tried to take the children to the rear, and then your aces chased the frightened kids, shooting them in a bare field. Two thousand children were killed.

And just for the mere fact that your soldiers did with children, I repeat, the soldiers of the Red Army, who saw the endless bloody ashes from the Volga to the Western Bug, could break loose, turn into merciless avengers, and destroy Germany completely. Perhaps even with its inhabitants. After all, they spoke and wrote from the front, without fear of censorship, during the war that they wanted to take revenge on the Germans. Not fascists. Not to the Nazis. It's the Germans.

But they didn't. Do I regret it? Of course not. How can you regret that no blood was shed? How can one regret that our soldiers and officers showed incredible humanism and mercy? I bow to the highest spirit and steel will of my ancestors, who found in themselves some incredible strength not to become the same cattle as the soldiers of the Wehrmacht were. On the buckles of German soldiers was written "God is with us." But they were the creatures of hell and brought hell to our land. The soldiers of the Red Army were Komsomol members and communists, but the Soviet people turned out to be much more Christian than the inhabitants of enlightened religious Europe. And they did not take revenge. They were able to feel, to understand that hell cannot be defeated by hell.

You should not ask our forgiveness, because you personally are not to blame for anything. You cannot be responsible for your grandfathers and great-grandfathers. And then, only the Lord forgives. But I'll be honest - for me the Germans are forever a stranger, an alien people. It's not because you personally are bad. It is in me that the pain of the children burned by the Wehrmacht screams. And you will have to accept that at least my generation - for which the memory of the war is the grandfather's awards, his scars, his front-line friends - will perceive you this way.

And we have done a lot for this, we have screwed up a lot ourselves, but I hope that not everything is lost for Russia. Of course we need to cooperate. Russians and Germans. We need to solve problems together. Fight ISIS* and build gas pipelines. But you will have to accept one fact: we will never repent for this Great War of ours. And even more so for the victory. And even more so in front of you. In any case, I repeat, my generation. Because then we saved not only ourselves. We saved you from yourself. And I don't even know what's more important."

In his speech in the Bundestag, the video of which was published on Youtube, a student from Novy Urengoy spoke about a German soldier who participated in Battle of Stalingrad, whose biography he was able to study thanks to information from open sources. According to the teenager, the soldier ended up in a prisoner of war camp and could not return home, as he "died from the harsh conditions of captivity." A schoolboy, studying the biography of a soldier, visited the "burials of Wehrmacht soldiers" near Kopeysk in Chelyabinsk region, where, according to him, "I saw innocent people who died, among whom many wanted to live peacefully and did not want to fight."

Facebook twice blocked the account of a VGTRK journalist after a post about a student speaking in the Bundestag

The social network Facebook twice blocked the account of VGTRK journalist Andrei Medvedev after his post about a high-profile performance in the Bundestag by a schoolboy Nikolai Desyatnichenko from Novy Urengoy. In it, Medvedev presented his own version of the speech, in which he spoke about the actions of German soldiers during the Great Patriotic War.

In the newly created account, Medvedev said that the first time his post was removed "for distributing pornography", and the second - "for inciting hatred towards certain groups." The journalist edited the text of his original message and posted it for the third time. In the text, Medvedev gives an example of how German soldiers dealt with Soviet children during the war.

“I will just remind you of what the Wehrmacht and SS soldiers did to Soviet children. They were shot. Often in front of parents. Or, on the contrary, they first shot at the father and mother, and then at the children. Your soldiers raped children. Children were burned alive. They were sent to concentration camps. Where they took their blood to make serum for your soldiers. Children were starved. Children were eaten to death by your shepherds. Children were used as targets. Children were brutally tortured just for fun,” writes Medvedev.

Facebook twice blocked the account of VGTRK journalist Andrei Medvedev for his post about his speech in the Bundestag. The text is excellent and in a good way very Russian, therefore it deserves to be read.
- Dear deputies. Today I saw a miracle. And this miracle is called Germany. I walked towards you and looked at the beautiful Berlin streets, at the people, at the wonderful architectural monuments, and now I am standing here and looking at you. And I understand that all this is a miracle. That you were all born and live in Germany. Why do I think so? Because, given what your soldiers did with us, in the occupied territories, the soldiers of the Red Army had the full moral right to destroy the entire German people.
To leave a scorched field, ruins and only paragraphs of textbooks in place of Germany would remind us that there was once such a country. You probably do not remember all the details of the occupation, but this is not necessary. I will just remind you of what the Wehrmacht and SS soldiers did to Soviet children. They were shot.

Your soldiers raped children. Children were burned alive. They were sent to concentration camps. Where they took their blood to make serum for your soldiers. Children were starved. Children were eaten to death by your shepherd dogs. Children were used as targets. Children were brutally tortured just for fun.
Or here are two examples. A Wehrmacht officer was prevented from sleeping by a baby, he took him by the leg and smashed his head against the corner of the stove. Your pilots at the Lychkovo station bombed the train on which they tried to take the children to the rear, and then your aces chased the frightened kids, shooting them in a bare field. Two thousand children were killed.
Just for what you did with the children, I repeat, the Red Army could completely destroy Germany with its inhabitants. She had a full moral right. But she didn't.
Do I regret it? Of course not. I bow before the steel will of my ancestors, who found in themselves some incredible strength not to become the same cattle as the soldiers of the Wehrmacht were.

Series of messages " ":

Part 2 -

It is strange to see how the same people used to yell foolishly that war is not the business of a conscript soldier, that professionals should fight, and now they are also yelling that "what a horror, we have PMCs, shame on this government ". Excuse me, so you kind of wanted the pros to fight with us? The authorities, at your request, in fact, created the PMC. Not?
- Why hide the presence of PMCs? Because they are actually created to hide their existence. This is a proxy war tool. Again Blackwater. First operation in 2001 in Kabul. They have been in Iraq since 2003. So then even the US military did not know exactly who they were. The American military in Baghdad told me that they were special forces or CIA units. Even the death of the Blackwater fighters in Fallujah was not confirmed by the US authorities. That is, they reported the death of military advisers. Only in 2007, after the massacre in Baghdad, when PMC fighters civilians were shot, the Americans learned of their existence. Although rumors about PMCs roamed in America. During the second assault on the same Fallujah, Blackwater played a key role, essentially acting as a detachment, and then as the main breakthrough force. But officially they didn't exist. So the citizens who are now screaming that, they say, "shame on our government, because it is silent about the death of our people in Syria" - they simply do not understand what algorithm PMCs work on and what they are created for.
- Why did the Americans hit our fighters? Because the third is coming World War. This, of course, is a proxy war, but still. Syria is one of the fronts of World War III. I think Afghanistan will be next and middle Asia. It is not only us and the Americans who are participating in this Third World War. Are you aware, citizens, that French and British special forces are fighting in Syria? So, sooner or later, we had to face the "Western partners" in direct combat. The private CIA - the Stratfor company - wrote in a report four years ago that US forces are quite limited, and Washington should consider the events in Syria and Ukraine as a single theater of military operations. This Black Sea theater of operations will put pressure on Russia with south direction. Nothing new. So in Syria we are fighting not for Assad, but for our future, for the right of our country to exist. Don't be yourself. But just to be. Exist in the world.
- Based on the above. The fighters of our PMCs in Syria are Russian heroes. These are the real heroes of the fight against terrorism and the war for the Russian future. They are the same heroes as Prokhorenko and Filipov, Durachenko and Mikhailova, like our pilots, sailors and soldiers of the MTR.
PMC fighters, unfortunately, are unknown and unsung heroes (as Eric Prince called his guys "unsung heroes"). But we must understand that by their struggle, by their daily feat, the fighters of our PMCs give us the right to a peaceful life. We go to the cinema, raise children, go to work thanks to them - simple Russian peasants, whose profession has become war, and who every day clean up this terrorist purulent phlegmon.
And when some "journalist" writes about "dead mercenaries", you should know that this person is not much different from the propaganda scum from the Al-Furqan ISIS media center. This is the enemy that hits our fighters in the back.
Once again, they are heroes. Their job is war, but their death is a tragedy. Moreover, apparently there was not without idiocy and betrayal.
I don't know how the state is, whether it will forget them or not. But the Motherland should not forget them. And we are the Motherland. Don't forget Russian PMC fighters.
Eternal memory to men and soldiers.

A series of “color revolutions” in the Middle East, a war in Syria, the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan, a flaming arc of instability in the Middle East and Asia are just a continuation of a story that began more than 200 years ago and which was called the Great Game.

A series of "color revolutions" is a continuation of a story that began more than 200 years ago. Well-known TV journalist Andrey Medvedev is convinced of this.

At the festival "Eurasia.DOC" will be presented his documentary blockbuster called " Big game". The film tells about the bitter struggle between Russia and Great Britain for control over strategic points in Asia.

"Official start date big games intelligence, diplomats and military of the Russian and British empires, of course, no. But unofficially, the countdown can be carried out from the assassination of Paul the First, in the preparation of which the British ambassador took a direct part. Further - all 200 years - blows and counterattacks followed one after another., - the author explains the theme of the film.

Andrei Medvedev became interested in the history of Russian expansion into Central Asia in 2000, when he first came to Afghanistan.

“My interest in this part of our history grew and grew. Behind Afghanistan were Central Asia, Pakistan, India, and all this gradually formed into a kind of common mosaic. Then I read Peter Hopkirk's famous book, The Great Game, which told much of what I already knew. When the opportunity arose, I decided to make a film about all this, because, indeed, in our country, not everyone is aware of those events.- Andrey Medvedev said in one of his interviews.

The premiere of the film "The Great Game" took place on the TV channel "Russia" in 2014. As Andrei Medvedev admits, this was his debut in documentary filmmaking. The team worked on the project for about a year. There were shootings in Kabul and Great Britain.
“We started filming the first interviews in September 2013. In December we flew to Kabul, then to the UK. In May, we finished the film" Andrey Medvedev says.
The film features politicians and diplomats, modern historians and experts. They explain what was the background of the wars and diplomatic deals, what Russia and Britain sought, why they could not agree.
The journalist is grateful for the support and direct participation in the project of his mother, Saida Medvedeva, a well-known television producer in Russia. She took over the production part of the film.
“My mother has been making documentaries for many years. She was responsible for all the technical "bells and whistles" Andrey says.
The directors of the two-part film were Fyodor Kudryashov and Andrey Garyanin.
Andrey Medvedev worked for 11 years in the news program Vesti on the Rossiya 1 TV channel.

Medvedev Andrey Andreevich is a professional journalist with 20 years of experience (in terms of mass media- since 1996, in the structure of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company - since 2000).

Repeatedly performed his official duty in conditions of direct risk to life.

Author of the documentary films The Great Game and Project Ukraine, as well as the book The True History of the Russian and Ukrainian Peoples.
