“I am very sorry (that was removed from the air. - RT ), because this is one of the strategies. You know, someone has a nuclear weapon, and someone has a “Servant of the people,” the head of state joked on the air of the 1 + 1 television channel.
According to him, in 2012, the Swedish company acquired the rights to the series from Studio 95.
“I was very surprised that TNT took the rights from the Swedish company,” he added.
Earlier, TNT reported that it would not broadcast the series “Servant of the People” on air, calling it a thoughtful marketing move to show its first three episodes.
Gazprom Media commented on the situation, expressing confidence that the channel’s audience would not be offended, since it was a “marketing move”.
As the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov emphasized, the Kremlin has nothing to do with stopping the show.
