Does Voice of Russia talk about these guys?

[piwo]

We saw a thread on the guy who stabbed all the Jews, but seems to be a little more pervasive.

What a terrible situation dealing with Neo-Nazi's. It would just seem that it never ends!

But, and only my own opinion here. These situations, and not always, are symptomatic of a deeper problem that exist either in the cloaked open, or under laying within the minds of many of the public.

The differences seem to be; as most folks, will think thoughts that are irritating and disturbing to them, they only think of this.

Whilst on the other hand; it is groups as in this case: Skin heads that place into action the common irritations and disturbing thoughts.

I think Putin is correct, it is a disease and needs to be taken care before it spreads and becomes an epidemic and social control is diminished or lost.

Next, he (Putin) best address the cause and effect of the foundations of unrest.

Piwo, I heard Voice of Russia has often condemned antisemitism and other acts of skinheads, but I havem't VOR address this specific incident. The station has presented broadcasts on Jewish writers, music composers and performers, scientists, soldiers, etc. Carl

Would you only suppose that a possible reason for this omission would be in concordence of their (VOR) guidlines; as The Russion World Information news service?

Thanks Carl.
Skinheads are a problem in many places of course, alive and well in the USA as well. When you have nothing better to do then blame your and the worlds ills on someone else and call for their removal, censure or outright demise, you often get the word "head" after your designation. Perhaps thats why so many use such a word for those muslims in the world whose conduct is consistent with the "skinheads".

Charles,
If I'm understanding correctly then: VOR then is the "editorial" to the outside world, and not necessarily news and commentary on internal Russian issue's and problems? I'm sure this is what Voice of America does as well, except that there is "the other side of the story" media that is also available openly.

My issue of course here is that I grew up during Russia's state sponsored dis-information carried out by state media..which was of course not credible. While our leaders too tried to pull the wool over the peoples eye's when they felt so compelled, the snooping and digging media were frequently able to cut through much of the crap, because they had the freedom to do so. Now that Putin has rolled back what freedom of the press there was there, my guess is that we're back to getting state rhetoric in big doses on issues of international importance without vocal dissent.

My upbringing and history in general leaves me unable to listen to a Russian source of information and accept any of it at face value. That's probably not completely warranted, but I'm not in denial about it either. I recognize it for what it is: decades of exposure, prejudice and history. Strange mix.

My personal thoughts and opinions are very much with that of yours I believe you have it all together with reality. For reality is what we ultimately must deal with.

The VOR is not that much different then many of the other broadcast such as that of VOA, Radio Havana (not sure that is presently in operation) and such. As you have proposed, they fairly much do present an Editorial to the out side world, that of their host nation.

Usually as you are aware, they (radio broadcast) provide various portions of information as an example: culture and society/economics/business/ science. That and information pertaining to their host nation. And, some very nice music depending upon your taste.

As to all international news organization, it is to the listener as to what is believed.

But, it is information, and all information should be noted and weeded through. Not so much as a fishing trip, but for relevant information that as the needs of the time may be, useful to the listener.

As a person, very seldom do I tune up these radio transmissions. For I have no reason to do so, and it would take away time from other projects (this forum as an example). The information that I need is readily available from the various Embassies with their public information updates. Also of that of the United States informations services of various branches.

The German Embassies sends a minimum of three updates daily and with this, various daily information updates of various subject matters of clarification.

As a retired old goat, I have made the mistake of not changing my habits, still the morning briefing and reading. Perhaps in another time of 20 years, my adjustment will be complete.

What is the old saying now: It is good to stay close to your friends. For survival, it is better to stay closer to your enemies.

Piwo & Charles: By listening & corresponding with VOR, I'm trying to influence them to respect freedom of expresszion & resist thought control. ThanKs. Carl

Opportunity is begging to be accommodated! VOR, it would be my estimation that: The only way you will make a difference, is this: Be on their staff as announcer.. Not only as a paid member of their staff, but an opportunity to place some of your influence into their programming.

What they would get out of the deal with you is very valuable. With your vast experience in the field of communications and research, they would enjoy the benefits in value of both skills, back ground, your travel experience and best of all, your wonderful American English Dialect. Your voice would be your greatest asset.

Well, we are all well acquainted with problems (issues) it is the answers that are allusive.

Charles, makes sense! I'll look into a job with VOR. Thanks. Carl
