View Full Version : BBC censors pro-Putin statement made by Chechen in "Ask a panel" Q&A session

This is from a while back (December 2004) and I remember I found it "interesting" then... But I'm bringing it up here now in connection with all the discussions about press freedom in Russia.
So anyway, in December 2004 the BBC website did this "Ask a panel" forum about Chechnya in which the BBC viewers would send in questions to be answered by residents of Grozny. They had this thing up on the BBC's main English-language site and on their Russian-language site.
Here is the English language version: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/4078049.stm
And the Russian language version: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/russian/talking_point/newsid_4065000/4065411.stm
However there are some differences...
In the Russian language version there is this question/answer (in Russian):
Считает ли вы, что этот конфликт может быть разрешен, пока Путин остается у власти?
Бритмари,
Москоу, Айдахо, США
Бадруди Эльдаров, пенсионер: Да, считаем! Так как В. Путин и только В. Путин может положить конец этому беспределу. Президент не замешан в начале этого конфликта и он очень много делает для восстановления республики. Translation:
Question: "Do you think that this conflict can be resolved while Putin remains in power?"
- Britmari,
Moscow, Idaho, USA
Answer: "Yes, we do! Since V. Putin and only V. Putin can put an end to this bespredel (~"madness"). The president is not mixed up in the beginning of this conflict and he is doing very much for the restoration of the republic."
- Badrudi Eldarov, pensionerHowever, this question/answer does not appear in the English-language version. Hmm, I wonder why...
I want to say right now that this thread is not pro-Putin or even about Putin. It is about the approach of the BBC and the Western media in general toward the Russian state.
I should note that the BBC's panel included numerous separatist sympathizers, even spokespeople of the Ichkeria movement, like the so-called "philosopher". So they somehow managed to squeeze in and include in the English-language version their brilliant and factually correct statements like:
Every second child in Chechnya is chronically ill.
As a result of bombings, mopping-up operations and forced migration, according to unofficial estimates, there is only one man per 20 women in the republic.
The war was started by Russia, and Russia is to blame for what happens in Chechnya now.
Make Russian extradite war criminals to the international tribunal.
Judging from the personal experiences of living in Chechnya as a part of Russia, and from what people think, it transpires that only independence will give the Chechens a chance to survive.
But without independence, there will be no life at all. However, it seems preferable to live in a large democratic state, which Russia will never be.
Only powerful pressure from the international community may force the Kremlin to take steps aimed at stabilising the situation in Chechnya.
Somehow they didn't "forget" to include any of that.
So what do you think about this? Honest mistake by the Beeb? :)

LOL. you must not forget that one of the biggest Chechen terrorists of the "Ichkeria" movement - Zakhaev received political asylum in Great Britain.
It is also worth mentioning that he is in close relations with Boris Berezovsky (the Russian oligarch who brought Putin to power and who eventually got f** over by Putin, seeking refuge in eternally hostile Britain). He was also close comrades with the dead Alexander Litvinenko... who is said to have converted to Wahhabi Islam on his deathbed.
Borya still has some money left over so it will not surprise me if he is stirring up all this BS in the British media toward Russia. After all, what else is a loser criminal to do when all his efforts against his personal grudge Putin, even his efforts to "overthrow Putin by force" (as he threatened in 2006) are futile.
So why in the hell would BBC would post anything short of propaganda?

The BBC may not be perfect, it is funded by the taxpayer and belongs to the citizens of the U.K. :roll: It has had moments of biased broadcasting in the past but usually this has been against the government of the time. The BBC does operate within strict rules and guidelines and all U.K. broadcasting is monitored by an independent authority with the power to levy fines in the case of any breaches.
The BBC certainly isn't a political voice or a propaganda tool for the U.K. government. :bash:

Added by who, Putin's hackers? The Russian version is still the BBC website, it's the same organization. Furthermore, the Russian version is the original version of this sh!t, it was even posted about 5.5 hours earlier than the English version (which is a translation of the Russian version). In the English version, some of the original statements appear cut down (shortened) or the wording is changed, apparently to make some of this lunatic nonsense the separatist sympathizers were saying seem somehow more "reasonable". For example, in the English version there is this:
"As a result of bombings, mopping-up operations and forced migration, according to unofficial estimates, there is only one man per 20 women in the republic."
Whereas in the Russian version, it does not say "according to unofficial estimates" but rather "according to various unofficial information" (ie kavkazcenter BS) and then there is an entire sentence which does not appear in the English version:
"Эта цифра, повторюсь, неофициальная и, я думаю, при официальном подсчете картина может оказаться еще более удручающей."
Translation: "This figure (20 women per 1 man), I repeat, is not official, and I think that after an official count the picture may turn out even more disheartening."
Obviously the whole sentence is just buffoonish nonsense, idiotic BS and just makes the person stating it look even more like a complete nutbag, so I guess the folks at the Beeb decided it was "unnecessary" and removed it.

Never assume conspiracy where incompetence is a sufficient explanation. Bad translation?
Or, what you may be seeing is whoever does the translation placing their own individual political bias onto the translations. Not institutional. If anything the BBC are TOO impartial and refuse to get behind whichever side has the preponderance of evidence in its favour. And as already said, they are hardly on the side of the UK government.
Anyway, why are you complaining to us and not the BBC?

BBC is fairly good, generally unbiased, and source their own news, so they form their own opionions, rather then inherit a biased one from someone else. They, are not without fault, but I haven't got a specific example to hand, so enough about that. There are systems to allow Gov manipulation but it's not any kind of everyday situation which would allow that. You are mistaken if you think an independant authority (ofcom?), most likely paid for by Gov in some fashion, is going to interfere when the chips are down.
Sky news is feckin dog**** though, you name it they are guilty of it!

Fair enough, not a translation issue. That still leaves;
1) left out by accident
2) more plausibly, personal agenda by the admin/translator/whoever's responsible for transferring Russian language comments to the English language pages.
Again, have you complained to the BBC?
Dollars to doughnuts this is not an institutional thing. The vast majority at the BBC either couldn't care less about the problems of the countries in question, or as I said before would actually go out of their way to be impartial about it.

The BBC is anti-Israel, anti-Russia and anti-Iranian. It's very pro-PLO and fairly neutral towards Hamas and Hezbollah.
That the Iranian government sees criticism of itself as "Zionist" doesn't make it so. The BBC can be (and is) opposed to the Iranian government and anti-Zionist at the same time.
Jeremy Bowen hates Israel down to his very core and he is the BBC's Middle East editor. He may well have good reasons for this, but such an emotional involvement is not conducive to unbiased reporting.

What do you have to say about this article: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/07/09/opinion/main5147076.shtml
In my opinion the article is mostly rubbish.
It is funny how Russia is according to western press either an authoritarian dictatorship ready to annex it's neighbors or a really, really weak nation ready to collapse at any moment.
Let's take a closer look what was written in the article.
The long-term problems of Washington's relations with Moscow can be traced to two very simple acts of self-delusion. The first is that the current Russian government refuses to accept that they are not in the same position of world dominance that the then-Soviet Union was some four decades ago. The second is that the U.S. and other western nations continue to refuse to acknowledge the depth and severity of Russia's internal decline. This results in the rest of the world extending to Russia trappings of a great power (i.e. membership in the G8 and World Trade Organization) for which they are neither eligible nor deserve. There are three things wrong in this paragraph.
1. Russia realizes that it is not a superpower anymore, but it also realizes that it is not the 1990's anymore when Russia could be pushed around at will. Russia's goal is not to dominate the entire planet (like the US tries to do) but rather preserve it's current borders, and gradually grow it's economy and influence in it's near abroad.
2. The West is aware of the depth and severity of Russia's internal decline, which is not as big as the author of the article claims.
3. Russian WTO membership has nothing to do whether Russia "deserves" to be there or not. Russia being out of the organization is purely a political decision. Of course Russia "deserves" to be in the WTO considering that Russia is by far the biggest economy outside WTO. Leaving Russia out of the WTO is along the same lines with Jackson-Vanik amendmend of disturbing Russia's economic growth and development, althought in many ways Russia may even benefit from being out of the WTO.
The truth is that today's Russia is a shambles and has none of the influence that the Soviet Union enjoyed on the international stage. Years of neglect or just plain refusing to face reality has produced a country that the Wilson Centre's famous Russian population trends expert, Murray Feshbach, describes as "not just sick but dying." Aside from an infrastructure that sometimes makes one wonder why the Upper Volga region of Russia was not renamed "Upper Volta" (before that country was renamed Burkino Faso) a long time ago, population trends are noting short of apocalyptic.The author is somewhat right that Russia lacks international influence. The best example of this is that Nicaraqua is so far the only nation besides Russia that has recognized SO and Abkhazia. Not even traditional allies like Armenia and Belarus, or Iran and Venezuela, have recognized SO and Abkhazia. If Russia had true international influence more nations would have recognized SO and Abkhazia.
But the claim of Russia "dying" and "apocalyptic population trend" is wrong. The author has apparently not checked the latest demographic data of Russia which has been improving quite nicely.
Life expectancy in Russian males is falling, and its disparity with female life expectancy is unprecedented for a nation that calls itself a modern, industrialized state. Infant mortality is rising, female fertility (and hence birth rates) is dropping, and the level of both HIV/AIDs and TB is climbing towards epidemic proportions. Deaths due to cancer, heart disease and alcoholism are also off the charts. Average alcohol consumption in Russia, Feshbach points out, is double what the WHO considers to be a level that is hazardous to health. This paragraph contains many outright lies.
1. Life expectancy of Russian males has not been falling since early 2000's.
2. Infant mortality is not rising but falling. The recent official data from Russia says that the infant mortality rate has significantly dropped in 2007-2009.
3.The level of HIV/AIDS has stayed quite stable in Russia during the whole 2000's. The western predictions (hopes?) that Russian HIV level will reach the level of sub-Saharan Africa has not come true by a longshot.
The author also failed to mention about the climbing birth rates in recent years. Demographics is a problem for Russia mainly because of the small age groups born in the 1990's, but the situation can still be reversed. One of the keys are the women born in 1975-1985. These women will have to have lots of babies during the next ten years because of the small age groups born after them.
There is, however, little evidence that the leadership in the Kremlin is even remotely aware of the demographic disaster in the making.
Another outright lie. The Russian government has named the demographic decline as the single biggest problem that Russia is facing and has granted families that have their 2nd and 3rd children extra benefits.
Alcoholism's impact on society is Exhibit A of how far out of touch the present leadership is with the man on the street. Just one week ago Russian president Dmitri Medvedev held a meeting with his Minister for Health and Social Development and stated, "I was astonished to learn that we now drink more than we did in the 1990s, although those were very tough times."
This is absolutely true and there has been little improvement in alcoholism in Russia. The alcohol consumption has even risen since 1990's, but the good thing is that many people have switched Vodka to beer and cider.
Memo to Medvedev: Inflation is out of control, unemployment is climbing by the day, banks are failing and people's savings are being stolen, entire cities are in danger of becoming ghost towns due to the failure of the community's one major industrial enterprise, and thanks to artificially inflated and out-of-control real estate prices most people have no hope of ever owning their own apartment.1. Inflation has been falling lately.
2. Unemployment is climbing but the unemployment in Russia is not that much bigger than in the US.
3. People's savings are being stolen? What is he talking about?
4. Russian banks have survived the crises fairly well thanks to state support.
5. The author is right that many towns are in big trouble because they depend on one industry/factory. This is a problem for the whole country: undiversified economy.
But if the Russian leadership is living in a fool's paradise, western nations have been the worst sort of enablers. Collectively they have outdone themselves in obsequiousness by granting Russia membership in international organizations and seats on major multinational bodies that it has no business even being considered for. What is this clown babbling about here? G8 is the only international organization that Russia has been granted a membership after the fall of the USSR, and G8 is mostly a symbolic organization with no meaningful value to Russia.
Russia was equally unqualified to join the World Trade Organization (WTO), which may explain why PM Putin appeared to overrule his own president and decided that the whole WTO effort should be abandoned in favor of a customs union with Belarus and Kazakhstan. This is perhaps the clearest signal that Moscow has no real interest in being a partner with the West-What a fool this author is! First he claims that Russia does not deserve a place in the WTO, but then he accuses Putin of isolating Russia from the West for not continuing to seek for a membership in the WTO. Hasn't the West done the isolating part itself by continuing to block Russia's membership in the WTO? Maybe Putin made the right conclusion that Russia will never be let to join to organization.
Plus--once again--the needs of the already-driven-to-drink ordinary population are being subjugated to the interests of a few in the Kremlin. The Russian people might do well by joining the WTO, but this carries no weight when those around Putin and Medvedev see little personal gain for themselves in the process. They have turned away from the WTO for the simple reason that they can instead earn a cornucopia of kickbacks by forming an economic bloc with the kleptocracies of their former Soviet brethren.
The numbskull continues to claim that "Kremlin kleptocrats" "turned away" from the WTO when the fact is that Russia has actively tried to join the organization from 1991 to 2009 - that is for 18 years - without being let in, while former USSR republics and economic basket cases such as Georgia and Ukraine were let in for political reasons. If this is not hypocrisy I don't know what is.

It's rather revealing about your state of mind that you keep trying to say that. Perhaps you are feeling a little 'blue' today comrade? If you protest any more vigorously take care that you don't burst out of your closet ;-)
Perhaps you need V. Putin to 'batter you round the ring again'?

hm. Where in that post did I say I want an overseas propaganda organization? :bash: anyways...
I could care less what a bunch of islanders think about Russia or Russians for that matter. Truth be told I doubt alot of Englishmen care for what goes on in Russia or Ukraine, Georgia, etc.. for that matter. As Russians could really care less for whatever ethnic conflict goes on within Great Britain. BBC simply takes a check from a few fat bastards who either got themselves/their business exiled from Russia at some point, therefore the coverage is meant to please their political tastes, and maybe some Thatcherite hardliners who masturbate over the nostalgia for the good ol' empire. That's about it.
Therefore BBC cannot possible call itself news, since it focuses on what a small group of people want to hear and ignore what actually matters.

It's most interesting to see how the Putin fanboy hive mind reacts to the BBC excising a clumsy and obviously planted pro Putin comment from its programming.Planted by who and how exactly? They (BBC) removed that one "comment" but other answers from that same individual still appear in the English version. And why wasn't it removed from the Russian version? The Russian version was created first and the English version was based on the Russian version. The Russian-language BBC is still the same BBC swine, same organization, same website, same anti-Russian agenda. Furthermore, there is nothing particularly "clumsy" about that statement, it's a normal statement. The translation of it may seem somewhat unusual or "clumsy" to people unfamiliar with the Russian language, but in Russian it's not clumsy.

Ok, so the point of this article was that BBC is biased against Russia and a specific example was presented. Since you keep saying that people should just complain to BBC about this because they are not biased this means that you have not dicipated peoples thinking about how BBC treats Russia at all.
Now, what it also means, is that if you start talking about Russian media and how it shows Medvedev/Putin too much, somekind of Russian propoganda, etc., the Russian members here can tell you the exact same line you are pushing yourself: Russian media is not biased, maybe someone in the newsreel department just added an extra Putin segment, you can complain to RTR/NTV/etc. about this rather than calling them biased on the interwebz, end of story.

You're forgetting that Russia is not Great Britain. We are the country where there was never any freedom, bears roam on the streets, and where the government lies to everybody as they hail the all mighty Secretary General.

Don't they want to get the truth out, break the "information blockade"? Well of course t
hey don't, because these people simply don't exist. rofl
Phone / email whatever :roll:
So noone in Russia holds my views and the views of our Russian friends about how you're being buttfcuked by kleptocrats?

On the same day that U.S. President Barack Obama was gallivanting around Moscow chitchatting with Russian political opposition members and students, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin had a real serious meeting with RusAl owner Oleg Deripaska.
In the end, Deripaska’s GAZ automobile factory received 20 billion rubles in state guarantees the very next day — without any discussion in the State Duma or public, of course. No explanation was given as to how Deripaska plans to save the ailing GAZ plant or what measures he was required to take in exchange for the state aid. All that is known is that no changes with the owners or managers are anticipated.
Everywhere else in the world, an owner who makes a critically flawed business decision loses ownership of his company. In Russia, oligarchs who don’t pay their debts receive state support.

Kleptocrats? That's just demagoguery, what specifically are you talking about? Since you don't know, I guess I'll have to explain this to you. One of the main reasons that Putin has such a high approval rating in Russia is that people trust him, and that is because they feel that he is indeed concerned about the country, that he wants the best for Russia and that he is working in the interests of the country. That is the impression he creates through all his speeches and everything. He specifically does not seem like a "kleptocrat". He does not live an extravagant life style, he is not on vacation all the time, he doesn't own any villas in France. And who in Putin's circle is not like that? Medvedev? Sechin? Kudrin? Zubkov? Ivanov? Who are the kleptocrats and how do they negatively affect the lives of common people?

15 July 2009By Yulia LatyninaYou're a real comedian, STAB. Yulia Latynina is a certified nutjob, and one of the most disliked media personalities in Russia. Was there a single terrorist attack in Russia that she did not blame on the Russian special services? If there was, I don't recall it. Recently, for example, she publicly claimed that it was the Russian military that attacked Tskhinval, not the Georgians, and all this kind of lunatic nonsense that Russia started the war, etc, etc. She actually participated in a "debate" about this with a military journalist in which she was, of course, completely destroyed. It's really insane to be making all these lunatic claims when they can be so easily checked and disproved, there are no mysteries here. South Ossetia is full of people, with cell phones and sh!t, and they are unanimous about what happened there. The Georgians attacked first and there was no Russian invasion force. Period, end of story, that's that. Indeed, when the conflict began we could actually follow it in real time on the internet, literally by the minute, as updates came in from people there on the ground. So it's clear that Latynina does not care about her own credibility at all. She is just a provacateur that says crazy sh!t for the "shock value".

She kind of like that whore Novodvorskaya, used to be in jail during the USSR for dissidence, then got released during "democracy". She also hates everything that has to do with Russia's wealth, health, and well-being.
I remember in 2005 she was saying that Russia would be better off getting taken over by some country. We have a lot of schitzo's here lol.

Latynina was never a dissident and was never in jail.

Ya, I read it already. Of course Latynina hasn't a clue by looking at what she wrote. She seems to forget the unwritten contract the Oli's have.
She should get a job at the BBC. I see great career opportunities for her there.:):roll:

Let's say Latynina is a sneaky one, basically she says a real story, but twists it in peculiar manner, and trend is obvious. As for this particular case it sounds like pocket oligarch robs people blind and Putin jumps in and gives him 20 bln for free (here buy a yacht). This case broods from march, Deripas have to pay his credit to 6 russian banks + Raiffaisen (spelling?) but he can't, and if he won't it becames his pain in the arse, and Royal pain in the arse for state (300 000 people loose job directly + collateral + money don't return in banks) = gross sh/t multiplicator, so State bails him out and pays money to banks, if Deripas is retarded (and i think he is) it just postpones nationalisation (nothing good will come out of this IMHO) but Putin not invented something new, look around the world. In my view World is based on Retardation, and run by Retards, and only high fertility rate and omnivoresness keep us from extinction. As for Darth Putin sitting in dark bunker plotting some evil cleptocratic schemes, hardly, I respect him as a good leader, but he is one lousy economist, like the rest of the world.

Whore? Is she an actual prostitute or are you just trying to smear her? Given, I know nothing about this woman nor the things you accuse her of - I just find it rather unintelligent to label women that you strongly disagree with as "whores".

Well, many of those "freedom activist" somehow are sponsored by sort of think tanks like "Freedom house" "British council" etc. heck it even written on they homepages, always go in NY, London, or Washington for "Consultations". And as "many Russians" I just fecking looove when guys halth the globe away tell me what to do. Medvedev and Putin our assholes, we voted for them and it's our business! Also there are many, more educated, and strong critics of govt in Russian media, but they do it for sh/t and giggles, or lobbying something, but at least they are Russian paid, and no one "get rose rash" about them - business is business. As for "Freedom" and "Democracy" - it somehow tend to revolve around places with oil, gaz, or pipes - well it's business, and i respect those western guys, we have a lot to learn from them, but pouring sh/t on our own country for a foreign money is - "prostitution" and "treason" in my book.

That may or may not be so but I raised the point in response to denials from the Putin fanboy clique that such views are not held by anyone in Russia when that is manifestly not the case as Latynina has to have some kind of audience in order to get published. The likes of Latynina may be wrong or the Putin fanboys may be wrong but simply labeling anyone who disagrees with the current party line as a whore or whatever as Russian Putin fanboyz seem to do routinely on here just makes you look ridiculously thin-skinned.
