Dmitry Kiselyov became the main mouthpiece of the Kremlin. (Wikipedia)
Or does he only pretend?
The young presenter was the mouthpiece of perestroika, a supporter of democracy and an ardent fighter for objectivity on TV, which many years later, today, he will call a “myth”.
He made a documentary film about Andrei Sakharov. He refused to read the official nonsense sent from the Kremlin about the events in Vilnius in January 1991 and was fired as a consequence. The Lithuanians thanked him with a medal for the truth. Unable to settle down in Russia, he worked for a whole year on German TV. But in 2014 President Grybauskaite deprived him of the award – already for slander.
