Youtube user Aslan Tukhuzhev has noticed a close resemblance between a promo film for a Russian news program hosted by notorious Dmitry Kiselyov, a journalist who is often accused of fuelling anti-Ukrainian and anti-Western hysteria, and an information program in RoboCop, a 2014 American science fiction action film.
“It seems to me that one is not able to create come up with their own ideas here. We watch movies which were patterned after Hollywood ones. We watch TV programs which had been invented in the West, but then Russia cloned them. We listen to music that was modelled on too… Let’s start using our brains and do something of our own,” Aslan Tukhuzhev calls.
“As I see it, the freedom of speech implies that one may call a spade a spade. I am Dmitry Kiselyov, Vesti Nedely [Weekly News] are with you now. Stop mumbling, it’s high time to talk up,” Kiselyov says actually repeating the words of a character played by Samuel L. Jackson.
Dmitry Kiselyov gained notoriety after he became an anchorman at Sunday’s news program on TV channel Rossiya 1. In his interpretation broadcasting news turns into shows of hatred in which he charged the Ukrainians and Western countries with intentional homicide and threatened the USA with ‘nuclear apocalypse’. For his ‘loyalty’ he was promoted to Director of international informational agency Russia Today.
