This opinion was expressed by the journalist, TV presenter Savik Shuster in an interview with the editor-in-chief of the publication “GORDON” Alesya Batsman in response to a comment about the changes in the behavior of propagandists, especially those working on the Russia 1 channel Vladimir Solovyov and Olga Skabeeva, as well as the editor-in-chief Russia today Daisy Simonyan.
“It’s like they’re lost and don’t know what to do next,” Batsman said, wondering what that meant.
“This means they don’t get clear instructions. There is no party line that must be followed indisputably. They take a map of hostilities and don’t understand what can be said and what cannot be said, where there is a turning point and where there is no turning point. They look to the left – there is the Ministry of Defense, to the right – the FSB, behind – I don’t know who is there. But they are seduced and already almost abandoned. Because no one is taking them anywhere. They have to find their way somewhere. Even if they are well aware of what awaits them. Glory does not wait for them. Their riches do not wait. They will not shake hands in any country of Europe. In Russia they are hated both on the left and on the right. They hate the wrong word… But nobody wants to touch them, ”Shuster replied.
He added that propagandists in the Russian Federation “now, like blind kittens, are trying to say something and somehow explain, but it doesn’t work anymore.”
The system under which the Kremlin controlled Russian propaganda work is very fragile, Shuster continued.
“One sentence is enough [певицы] Alla Pugacheva – and all this falls like a house of cards. Against the background of Pugacheva, some Solovyovs, some Simonyans, some Skabeevas look like garbage. And there is Alla Borisovna Pugacheva, which says: you were servants and you were servants. And in this context, it’s already embarrassing even for ourselves. And you won’t blab, and you won’t scream anymore, and you won’t hear at all, you’re like a frog in a dark swamp. A Pugacheva with one sentence can undo all the noises and nonsense of propaganda. This is how the system is built, “she explained.

A number of Russian propagandists, including Solovyov, done on the list of persons threatening the national security of Ukraine (since 13 October Skabeeva and Simonyan are not on the list).
