Ivan Survillo, one of the most famous Russian young video bloggers and journalists, has begun work on an interview cycle for RT. In the first episode, he talked with the vice-rector of the Higher School of Economics Valeria Casamara, whose nomination to the Moscow City Duma last year caused criticism from a number of media and representatives of the "liberal public". Now, Casamara has come to the fore in connection with the discussion of amendments to the HSE internal regulations regarding the obligations of students and staff not to make political statements.

The 20-year-old journalist's interview for RT sparked a heated discussion on Facebook. Under a post where Survillo spoke about the release of the material, “liberal” journalists called Survillo a “traitor”, said that they would immediately “freak him” and accused him of working for a “propaganda media”.

    “Well, it’s (It’s not clear why, to be honest,” Ilya Krasilshchik, a former publisher of Medusa, commented.

    “It's just ********* shame,” wrote the “independent” photojournalist Evgeny Feldman.

    The founder of the media “Project”, known for controversial investigations (hyper to our investigation about the Project), Roman Badanin wrote: “I usually don’t post on Facebook. But here it is funny in the morning. When almost all full-time employees up to the seasonal layout designer gave interviews to this author in other publications, nothing bothered anyone. The same journalists took, gave and read interviews. ******** business model. If I were Putin, I would have forbidden ***** interviews with reporters. ”

    “It's a shame,” wrote a former employee of Medusa Alexander Gorbachev.

    Opposition politician Ilya Yashin believes that Survillo "was going to oust Dudya, but in the end ousted Baronova and Vinokurova."

    Other commentators were surprised by the bullying of a journalist: “****** I have a personal question here at the Komsomol meeting. And this has not yet gathered the Parkhomburo. ”

    “Vanya, this interview was worth taking only to read these comments from people whom you respected and appreciated. I went to drink valerian), ”wrote Maria Survillo.

      Telegrams also responded to disputes in the comments.

      Journalist Oleg Kashin posted a screenshot of the commentary of the TV presenter Anna Mongayt “Survillo Maria, and you supported Vanya when he decided to go to work on RT? There were no doubts? ”, Adding the signature“ Parents to school! ”.

      The Telegram channel “Media Technologist” drew parallels with the Komsomol meeting and the “Parhomburo”.

      “The case of Komsomol Survillo is being considered at a meeting of the Parhomburo right now. We advise Komsomol Survillo to admit the mistake. Komsomolets Survillo stumbled out of ignorance. Komsomolets Survillo thought that RT is an abbreviation for the handshake RTVI. He found out about a terrible mistake only after signing the contract. We urge the Parhomburo to forgive Komsomol Survillo without entering it into a private matter, ”the post says.

      Ruthless PR manager also drew attention to the dispute: “By the way, girls, I would especially like to note the condemnation from Dyer, who preferred to trade oranges and watermelons with a citizen of Malta Volozh instead of making media.”

      Breaking Trends channel spoke about the incident: “Vanya and haters. Journalist Ivan Survillo, who became famous for his interviews, said on Facebook today that he now works for Russia Today. The reaction of the media community can be seen in 160 comments. There are a lot of things: congratulations, frendil, ashamed, removing you from friends. ”

      “What needs to be done to make the liberal hamster feel bad? It’s enough to show such news, after which he inhales so deeply and indignantly that he can’t recover for a long time, ”said TV presenter Tina Kandelaki, adding that Survillo is a talented journalist.

      Baza co-founder Nikita Mogutin, in turn, called for Survillo to be left alone.

      “Finally, I want to note that it’s not your ****** matter where and by whom to work a young and talented guy in Russia. ********** from Vanya, don’t be completely over and hypocritical **********, ”he wrote.
