Oleg Kashin
Journalist Oleg Kashin, recognized as a foreign agent a few days ago, was a guest of the new issue of Ksenia Sobchak’s YouTube show and talked about the work from London, cooperation with the pro-state media and high-profile posts on personal social networks. .
In the interview, they also touched on the topic of “Russian nationalism”. So, Ksenia Sobchak remembered Kashin’s old tweet about Ukraine (“It would be great if Russia took Ukraine back as far as Lvov”) and wanted to comment. Reflecting on the nature of nationalism, Kashin recalled the history of Great Britain and Ireland fighting for independence.
At the same time, geographically, Kashin sees Russia differently:
Now the journalist lives in London, where he left Russia in 2016. Earlier, it was also included in the “Navalny’s list”, which, according to FBK *, includes those who are “corrupt officials” and “warmongers” (Ksenia Sobchak is also included in this list).
Kashin talked about the situation when he was fired from Komsomolskaya Pravda: it happened after the publication of high-profile posts on personal social networks and about participation in Olga Skabeeva’s program 60 Minutes. As Ksenia Sobchak noted, it is unreasonable to go to work or give an interview to the pro-state media, and then publish such posts.
– he replied, comparing these situations to his one-time romance with a married girl: “I went there for stress, not sex.”
The journalist talked about Russian television and those who work there.
At the same time, he added that he is sorry that the part responsible for propaganda is now winning on Russian television. He also talked about the conversation he had with singer Victoria Daineko, who performed at the “Z-concert”.
Kashin commented on how one could live in one country and still write about another.
Answering Sobchak’s questions at the end of the interview, Kashin stated that he prefers to be penniless in England rather than living richly in Russia.
