Tsur: what Andrey Karaulov writes to Vladimir Putin (open Russia). Open letter to Karaulov in the “Moment of Truth”

8.6.2017

Removed from the air six months ago after the broadcast of programs about six attempts on Vladimir Putin’s life, TV presenter Andrei Karaulov “bombs” the presidential administration, the government, the Legislative Assembly and even the Federation of Independent Trade Unions with requests to arrange a meeting with the president or at least hand over letters. So far no success. The Federation Council office showed us two letters sent by Karaulov to Valentina Matvienko. In them, Karaulov begs the president to return him to television and is indignant at why he “fought Navalny alone all this time.”

First letter [spelling and punctuation preserved]:

Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, I am writing not to the Chief, but to a friend.

The helplessness of our entire ideology in front of Navalny stunned me. Before our eyes, this insignificance turns into a symbol of... it’s unclear what. How was it allowed? Where were all our services (primarily ideological)? Why, after Navalny’s film about Medvedev, was I the only one who fought with Navalny all this time? Why, when my film “Through the Eyes of a Clown” is about Navalny received — how only we posted it on the Internet — 9 (!) hacker attacks, and the FSB, when I turned to the security officers, through our former curator A. Komelkov[read about this man below. - SDG], failed to protect our film? Why didn’t anyone think about distributing it on the Internet, if the film is evidence-based, collects hundreds of thousands of views, and most importantly — the only one to date on this topic?

Navalny’s plans are now like this: a film and in three or four weeks rallies in the streets. Heroes of future videos: Rotenbergs, Matvienkos, Timchenkos, Kovalchuks and young Kovalchuks (“Kurchatnik” is not touched, M.V. has merits in physics, especially the collider), His Holiness, and since mid-October, endless chatter about Putin, at least two series including personal life President.

Navalny himself has nothing to do with the film about Medvedev. With our inaction, he managed to become a “brand”: anyone, be it Khodorkovsky or anyone else, can post any nonsense about anyone under this “trademark”. And for four million rubles, as in the case of Medvedev, “Barber” (Navalny started 11 years ago as a hairdresser) will voice anything.

The worst thing is: I have no one to tell all this to. Knowing that Shmakov has[Mikhail Shmakov is the Chairman of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia. - SDG] a meeting with the President is planned, I told him everything I knew at that time. Now my concern is only growing: Medvedev has been prepared with the “Lazarenko option,” and if we hadn’t posted “Through the Eyes of a Clown” on the Internet on March 13 (and I’m still sitting without airtime, I don’t understand why I’m being punished, although I really want to return to TVC ), — so, if we hadn’t rushed, then already on Wednesday the 15th Navalny would have sold a video about Medvedev to the ARD company, the Germans. And the film would go for a walk all over Europe; after ARD, the Swedes, Italians and French were going to show it — this is only what I know for sure. I also knew that the Germans, with their pedantry, would diligently study the counter-arguments of the film “Through the Eyes of a Clown.” And the sale deal to Europe will fall through.

They tore it off. Why counter-arguments, why not work proactively? I warned Alexey Alekseevich about what can be expected from Navalny now[Gromov is the first deputy head of the presidential administration, oversees the media. - SDG] about two weeks ago. Not directly, there is no direct connection, through mutual friends. Gromov, well done, firstly, he heard, secondly, he believed, and even, as I was told, he held some meetings at the AP. All others, like Seryozha Novikov[Head of the Presidential Administration Department for Public Projects, has been working with Sergei Kiriyenko for many years. - SDG], They didn’t even consider it necessary to pick up the phone.

Our film “The Passion of Isaac” did everything to disrupt all the February rallies on the Champs de Mars. PARNAS and Yabloko planned to hold them (under the guise of meetings of the population with deputies, which is not prohibited by law) throughout February.

According to Navalny I have specific plan I'll quickly cut through all this stupidity, but even I can't fight them alone.

Yours, Andrey Karaulov.

P.S. After 3–4 months in " Fiction“My “Russian Hell” is coming out[the first edition of the novel in two volumes was published in 2011 — Russian Hell. On the way to the underworld" in "Eksmo", "Russian Hell-2. Meeting with the Devil" - in "Algorithm". - SDG] - an epic novel about the 90s, their full portrait, the book is dedicated to you, I’ll try to convey through Dima Peskov, maybe you’ll have a moment to look through it: it’s a shame to realize that Pushkin never read Dostoevsky!

Karaulov told the TsUR that he “didn’t write anything to Putin and won’t comment on this *****.”

Excommunicated from the air six months ago, Karaulov begs Putin to return him to TV, promising to “butcher” Navalny https://t.co/Jsqhzmelmg

If Karaulov’s letters are fake, then they are quite plausible

The Investigation Management Center (ICC) published letters from excommunicated journalist and author of the Moment of Truth program Andrei Karaulov to the Russian President Vladimir Putin. In them, the presenter is indignant at the failures of ideological departments in the fight against Alexei Navalny and states that he has a specific plan to counter the opposition. However, the letters are not handed over to the head of state, says the LRC.

Andrei Karaulov unsuccessfully asks various departments, including the presidential administration and the government, to arrange a meeting with the president or at least hand over his letters. LRC claims that two such letters were shown to them in the office of the Federation Council. Karaulov sent them to Speaker Valentina Matvienko, but she did not transmit the messages to the president.

Both letters begin with the phrase “Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, I am writing not to the Chief, but to a friend” (the author’s spelling and punctuation have been preserved). And it ends with a message about the imminent release of Karaulov’s book, which he offers Putin to read.

In the first message, the journalist is indignant at how “our services (primarily ideological)” could allow such an increase in the popularity of Alexei Navalny. Karaulov claims that he is the only one fighting the oppositionist. In particular, he dedicated the film “Through the Eyes of a Clown” to him, which allegedly prevented the sale of the FBK investigative film “He’s Not Dimon” to the West.

“As for Navalny, I have a specific plan to quickly dismantle all this stupidity, but even I cannot fight them alone,”- writes Karaulov.

In the second letter, he complains that it is unknown why he was excommunicated from television and asks for the president’s help: “Help, Vladimir Vladimirovich, without you there is no way. Then, in 2010, it was you who helped. More than five years at “Fifth” were bliss. When I return to the air, only my enemies will regret it ».

LRC contacted Andrey Karaulov with a request to comment on the letters. He stated that he had never written letters to Putin and threatened to sue him.

The Investigation Management Center recalls that Karaulov was taken off air after the release of his program “Moment of Truth” on December 12, 2016, which was dedicated to attempts to assassinate Putin. According to the journalist, there have been at least six of them since 1999. A TsUR source says that the release about the assassination attempt displeased the top official and the presidential administration immediately reacted.

This is the second time the journalist has been excommunicated from broadcasting. In September 2010, the NTV channel showed in prime time the film “It’s About the Cap,” which critically assessed the activities of Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov and his wife Elena Baturina. In response, Karaulov released a program in defense of Luzhkov. But they managed to show it only on Far East and was taken off the air, and the contract with Karaulov was terminated. A week later, President Medvedev dismissed Luzhkov with the wording “due to loss of trust.”

The Investigation Management Center (ICC) published letters from excommunicated journalist and author of the Moment of Truth program Andrei Karaulov to Russian President Vladimir Putin. In them, the presenter is indignant at the failures of ideological departments in the fight against Alexei Navalny and states that he has a specific plan to counter the opposition. However, the letters are not handed over to the head of state, says the LRC.

“As for Navalny, I have a specific plan to very quickly dismantle all this stupidity, but even I cannot fight them alone,” writes Karaulov.

In the second letter, he complains that it is unknown why he was excommunicated from television and asks for the president’s help: “Help, Vladimir Vladimirovich, without you there is no way. Then, in 2010, it was you who helped. More than five years at “Fifth” were bliss. When I return to the air, only my enemies will regret it.”

LRC contacted Andrey Karaulov with a request to comment on the letters. He stated that he had never written letters to Putin and threatened to sue him.

Journalist Andrei Karaulov told how they tried to order Shoigu and Vorobyov

Mr. President, I want to apologize.

I want to apologize to you personally: the fact that our Russian scoundrels are making a mockery of you today is, it seems to me, my fault as a journalist.
In 2002, when Kasyanov, the favorite of the Yeltsin family, was omnipotent, we journalists said: the murder of the governor Magadan region Tsvetkov and the decision of Prime Minister Kasyanov of September 12, 2002 “On increasing the volume of total allowable catches of crabs and trumpeter shellfish” are links in the same chain.
Kasyanov and Tsvetkov, created (on a quick fix) some fishing company, where there were no suitable vessels, instantly cleaned out our Far Eastern seas. Ostensibly for the “needs of science,” but only behind the backs of the scientists themselves, Russian Academy Sciences, Kasyanov allowed Tsvetkov and his guys to catch - I ask everyone to think about it - several thousand tons of the rare blue crab, trumpeter and snow crab.
Science in Russian, Mr. President! Science, where there are no scientists, but there was Kasyanov, who blessed this vandalism with the stroke of a pen (Russia was left without a blue crab for years), is called, as I assume, in one word - corruption. The crab and whelk were immediately sold - straight from the ships - to neighboring countries, but it was not possible to divide the money, and Governor Tsvetkov paid for it, again in Russian - with his blood.
Tsvetkov’s corpse lay in plain sight for almost half a day on Novy Arbat.
We fell silent, Kasyanov got away unscathed. His influence then, under Yeltsin, who was in no hurry to retire, was so great that the Prosecutor General Russian Federation actually stopped the investigation of another criminal case - the theft of more than forty million dollars allocated by the Russian Ministry of Finance for the creation of our military aircraft - MiGs in particular. Not just anyone, the speaker of the Russian Parliament Gennady Seleznev publicly, in the “Moment of Truth,” stated that in the scam with money for the MiGs, the main signature, the main decision is the same Kasyanov.
Remember, Mr. President, why Francis Sinatra was not always accepted (I say carefully: not always) in the White House and in Congress.
Formally, Sinatra was clean before the law, but serious politicians disdained to shake hands with him: where Sinatra is, there is the mafia, and where the mafia is, there can be everyone who wants to be there, but not the American President.
Do you understand me, Mr. Obama?
And again, as with crabs, but Mr. President did not let us forget about Kasyanov - who: that’s right, including Boris Nemtsov.
The same Nemtsov, whose name, as I assume, Kasyanov wanted to “privatize” today.
If you can steal, what difference does it make what to steal, the main thing is to enrich yourself.
Nemtsov is dead, he cannot answer Kasyanov: yes, me and my friends, Arkady Mamontov, Volodya Solovyov, other guys, were with Nemtsov on different sides political barricades, which did not prevent Nemtsov from filming dozens of times over the years, for example, in “The Moment of Truth”, and not only “at Karaulov’s”. We argued, fought, separated, came together, argued again and fought again, but Kasyanov cooks up his lists as if these tapes no longer exist, as if Nemtsov himself did not protect his ministers last words, especially, as I remember, Mr. Artyukhov, and Kasyanov got it pretty bad.
He is not afraid to deceive Congress, the main thing is to make noise. Will someone check what Kasyanov writes? How? That's what we're counting on.

When we journalists television program“The moment of truth”, they began their investigation, their “Watergate”, Kasyanov became nervous. You will be surprised, Mr. Obama - right at the government meeting, Kasyanov forbade all members of the cabinet (that’s right: forbade) not only “to film with Karaulov,” but also in general on the TV Center channel, where our program was then broadcast.
If we, journalists, would have hung on the neck of the General Prosecutor's Office, if Boris Yeltsin, America's favorite, then, in 2002, would not have interfered (out of habit, probably) in state affairs, Kasyanov, I would venture to suggest, would not have been walking around if only in Washington now: out of almost thirty members of the Expert Council, only five people put their signatures, one signature was forged... - the crab disappeared, this whole adventure was immediately classified as “secret”, but we, journalists, and I, in any case, ducked then heads.
And they fell silent.
In the United States, Boris Nemtsov was a nobody.
Until he was killed.
When Boris died, someone immediately suggested renaming the Zamoskvoretsky Bridge to his - the bridge where this atrocity happened.
Bridge? It’s somehow strange... Why not name some plant after Nemtsov that he saved in the 90s? Or some street he built in Nizhny, where he was governor for seven years?
They are? Factory? At least one factory? Street? At least one street? They are?
Or maybe Boris Nemtsov, appointed First Deputy Prime Minister (he was responsible for fuel and energy), laid down some new oil refineries, built new modern cities where the drilling sites are, especially in the “norths”?
Pyotr Arkadyevich Stolypin was chairman of the Council of Ministers for five years. His name has remained for centuries; his name, Mr. President, is known even in America.
And Kasyanov? What did Kasyanov do?
Did you catch crab in the Sea of Okhotsk?
And then it suddenly became clear that when we talk about Nemtsov, the most interesting thing is to talk about his offensive sexual weaknesses, about his children who have never seen their father and of whom there are already about a dozen, and this list - Nemtsov’s list - seems not to be closed yet?..
I wonder, Mr. President, if you had so many women, would you find time to lead the country?
It turns out you can’t ask such questions.
Otherwise, Kasyanov will write “Nemtsov’s list” and rush, Mr. President, to your Congress.
He doesn’t consider you people, that’s what. He takes them for fools. For some reason, Kasyanov knows for sure that no one in Congress will ask him why the paper he concocted does not contain the names of those whom our investigators suspect of Nemtsov’s murder? Those who blew themselves up with grenades during their arrest, those who supplied the killers with weapons, transport, promised them five million rubles for the murder of Nemtsov and paid an advance?.. Moreover, Kasyanov knows for sure that here, in Congress, no one will understand the lies Is he, Kasyanov, lying with his lists or not... - Once again, Nemtsov is dead, Nemtsov cannot answer Kasyanov.
America, help shut up the journalists!
“Announce the entire list, if possible...”
Can.
They kill one by one. And it would be better - all at once.
Then no one will remember the crabs.
It's time to submit your lists.
Who cares if President Obama becomes a laughing stock?
Or maybe he already has?

P.S. Currently, the editors of the “Moment of Truth” program are selecting archival tapes of interviews with Boris Nemtsov, in which he sharply criticized the work of Mikhail Kasyanov. We will make these recordings public in our broadcasts in May. Journalist Andrei Karaulov is preparing his appeal to General Prosecutor's Office Russian Federation, dedicated to the activities of Mikhail Kasyanov as Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, in connection with newly discovered circumstances.

It seems that the regiment of innocently convicted people has arrived in large numbers. If you believe the famous journalist Andrei Karaulov, then the accusation against the (now, as usual, former) deputy head of the Federal Penitentiary Service Oleg Korshunov is completely fabricated.

In turn, Vladimir Osechkin points out that Karaulov’s documentary in defense of Oleg Korshunov is custom-made.

Why in in this case I believe not Karaulov, but Osechkin? Because Vladimir Osechkin cites facts and documents that you can’t argue with to support his opinion, for example:
Exclusive. List of Federal State Unitary Enterprises of the Federal Penitentiary Service, whose activities were controlled by O.A. Korshunov
Free prices: how much the arrested deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service Oleg Korshunov overpaid for gasoline and sugar
Jailer behind bars: Korshunov “inherited” at the poultry farm and in stores for prisoners
Karaulov’s film looks surprisingly helpless and toothless.

But I have even more doubts about the purity of journalist Karaulov’s thoughts about the choice of topic. Why was the journalist inspired only by the Korshunov case, while it is far from the first and not the only one?
Below is my open letter. Karaulov, like the President of Russia, has an electronic reception. I copy from there:

Dear Andrey Viktorovich!
Your documentary film “Strike on the Special Service” is recognized as an outstanding film for the glory and defense of corruption in the prison department. Is this so, and what actually inspired you to so courageously rush to the defense of the former deputy director of the Federal Penitentiary Service Oleg Korshunov?
What influenced the choice of subject?
When viewing, one is struck by the absence of documents, facts, and specific details. Throughout most of the screen time, several successful-looking men make passes with sleek hands, probably trying to influence the audience through hypnosis. The video sequence is reminiscent of pictures from school textbooks from the times of the USSR. Instead of clearly justifying your position, you express helpless hints and vague assumptions accompanied by sepulchral music.
.
Why, while standing up for the fallen celestial Oleg Korshunov, do you ignore the practice of mass falsification of criminal cases against ordinary innocent citizens of our country? After all, unlike customers of this story, the victims in each of the cases are ready to provide a rich evidence base for publication.

Is this connected with the fact that you share the attitude of Korshunov, Voloshin, Lebedev and others like them towards Russian citizens as cattle, not worth anything? documentaries, or any attention at all?

Or, perhaps, your position is due to the insolvency of the families of innocent prisoners, from whom corrupt judges, at the suggestion of a dishonest cannibalistic investigation, took away their breadwinners, deprived them of their means of livelihood, and drove people into the abyss of poverty and hopeless despair?

As an example, I cite only two documents from only one (out of hundreds!) of fabricated criminal cases. From them it is obvious to what boundless impudence the so-called court reaches, distorting the personal data of the convicted person right on the very first page of the verdict! As you can easily check, this verdict of the Khimki City Court, drawn up in clear violation of the law, is nevertheless considered to have entered into “legal” force and has not yet been canceled.

Unlike the President’s reception, in Andrei Karaulov’s electronic reception no one is required by law to respond to letters. To be honest, I’m not expecting it, because... I think there is nothing to answer. Moreover, the experience of contacting the so-called. The media has already accumulated.
From the group's materials Freedom for the innocently convicted on FB :
Tatyana Leshukova: now it's clear why he ordinary citizens doesn’t help, but works on order, and whoever really needs help is asked by his assistants to call ten times, because they are all busy, but in the end nothing.
Natalia Sergeeva: I “called out” to him in 2016, asking him to help protect my son from trumped-up charges - silence... It’s like you’re shouting into the abyss.
Emma Tian: In 2016, I wrote for the program “Let Them Talk” and “Man and the Law.” In Koisomolbskaya Pravda and others where you can contact public bodies for human rights. It's as quiet as a tank. Only Babushkin answered me that he handed it over to the prosecutor’s office and there are still replies from there
Elena Smirnova: We also wrote and contacted everyone. It was funny to look at them. At first they did not understand us and thought that our victim seemed to have died, but was alive. Everyone swooped in like kites. The phones were simply cut off. When they found out how things really were, they disappeared.

The helplessness of our entire ideology in front of Navalny stunned me. Before our eyes, this insignificance turns into a symbol of... it’s unclear what. How was it allowed? Where were all our services (primarily ideological)? Why, after Navalny’s film about Medvedev, was I the only one who fought with Navalny all this time? Why, when my film “Through the Eyes of a Clown” about Navalny received — as soon as we posted it on the Internet — 9 (!) hacker attacks, and the FSB, when I turned to the security officers, through our former curator A. Komelkov [read about this man below . - SDG], failed to protect our film? Why didn’t anyone think about distributing it on the Internet, if the film is evidence-based, collects hundreds of thousands of views, and most importantly — the only one to date on this topic?

The worst thing is: I have no one to tell all this to. Knowing that Shmakov [Mikhail Shmakov is the Chairman of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia. - SDG] a meeting with the President is planned, I told him everything I knew at that time. Now my concern is only growing: Medvedev has been prepared with the “Lazarenko option,” and if we hadn’t posted “Through the Eyes of a Clown” on the Internet on March 13 (and I’m still sitting without airtime, I don’t understand why I’m being punished, although I really want to return to TVC ), — so, if we hadn’t rushed, then already on Wednesday the 15th Navalny would have sold a video about Medvedev to the ARD company, the Germans. And the film would go for a walk all over Europe; after ARD, the Swedes, Italians and French were going to show it — this is only what I know for sure. I also knew that the Germans, with their pedantry, would diligently study the counter-arguments of the film “Through the Eyes of a Clown.” And the sale deal to Europe will fall through.

They tore it off. Why counter-arguments, why not work proactively? I warned Alexey Alekseevich [Gromov, first deputy head of the presidential administration, oversees the media, about what can be expected from Navalny now. - SDG] about two weeks ago. Not directly, there is no direct connection, through mutual friends. Gromov, well done, firstly, he heard, secondly, he believed, and even, as I was told, he held some meetings at the AP. All others, like Seryozha Novikov [head of the presidential administration’s department for public projects, has been working with Sergei Kiriyenko for many years. - SDG], they didn’t even consider it necessary to pick up the phone.

Regarding Navalny, I have a specific plan to very quickly dismantle all this stupidity, but even I cannot fight them alone.

Yours, Andrey Karaulov.

P.S. In 3–4 months, my “Russian Hell” will be published in “Fiction” [the first edition of the novel in two volumes was published in 2011 — Russian Hell. On the way to the underworld" in "Eksmo", "Russian Hell-2. Meeting with the Devil" - in "Algorithm". - TsUR] - an epic novel about the 90s, their full portrait, the book is dedicated to you, I’ll try to convey it through Dima Peskov, maybe you’ll have a minute to look through it: it’s a shame to realize that Pushkin never read Dostoevsky!

Second letter

[spelling and punctuation preserved]

Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, I am writing not to the Chief, but to a friend.

I'm sitting without broadcasts. I don’t understand why I was punished: Alexey Alekseevich [Gromov] has already shut me down twice: in 2010, after Luzhkov, and now. In all these years, I have never met Alexey Alekseevich, although I really wanted to compare notes.

Even before the New Year, I spoke with Sobyanin. He is not against “Moment of Truth” being on “TV Center” again. There are elections ahead, after all, and “Fifth” will sour without us, as Yuri Valentinovich [Yuri Kovalchuk — Putin’s friend, one of the founders of the National Media Group, which owns REN TV, Channel Five, the newspapers “Izvestia” and “Sport Express” , 25% of Channel One — SDG] honestly admitted — the other day — to my friends, filmmakers Fr. Tikhon and Mikhalkov.

Help, Vladimir Vladimirovich, without you — it’s impossible. Then, in 2010, it was you who helped. More than five years at Fifth were bliss. When I return to the air, only my enemies will regret it.

P.S. I did everything so that the last film — The Passion of Isaac — would stop the Field of Mars, we turned the “opposition” inside out, but there was no “big broadcast” for the film, although the metropolitans, I know, were busy. We showed it only on the Internet, the coverage was not the same, although ten episodes of “Putin’s Russia” on the Internet attracted four million viewers.

The other day my “Russian Hell” is coming out in “Fiction” - an epic novel about the 90s, their full portrait, the book is dedicated to you, I’ll tell you, if possible, through Dima Peskov, maybe you’ll have a minute to look through it: it’s a shame to realize that Pushkin never read Dostoevsky.
