The host of the program “60 minutes” Evgeny Popov asked the State Duma deputy Alexei Zhuravlev not to threaten people with murder in his program anymore. The presenter told the newspaper “Rise” that he understands the “emotional intensity” of the deputy, because he “regularly goes to the front.”
At the same time, Popov believes that Zhuravlev “wished death not to German propagandists, but to mercenaries.” “We talked to him after that,” Popov said. “I asked him not to make death threats in my program ever again.” It is sad that emotions reach unthinkable limits, the presenter noted.
“I think Alexey Alexandrovich has crossed the red line,” Popov said, also noting that Zhuravlev is “a patriot, he is very much rooting for Russia and is worried.”
Earlier, the program “60 minutes” on “Russia 1” discussed the broadcast of the Bild TV channel, where fragments of the Russian political show were shown. Bild was outraged that their correspondent working in Ukraine was called a Nazi. In response to criticism , parliamentarian Alexei Zhuravlev said: “I want this Nazi, and I don’t care, to say: we will all come and kill you all. I’m going there, and if I see him there… yes, that’s right.”
