The appearance of the program ' Central Television ' on the Russian federal channel in the summer of 2010 led to some observers hope for the return of critical stories in the Russian news broadcast.
Almost since its debut in late August 2010 ' CCTV ' is regularly audited heroic image of Vladimir Putin, backed by the federal TV channels and most other news programs on NTV.
Leading the program Vadim Takmenev sarcastically spoke about the erotic calendar, a group of students that journalism of Moscow State University to congratulate Putin on his birthday in October 2010 and immediately showed the alternate calendar - it prepared in response to Putin's other student of journalism at a protest against the attack on the freedom .
Takmenev covers topics that are usually ignored in the news on NTV and other state-controlled television channels, for example, the debate over the procedure of making the second sentence of Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
In a recent interview, ' interlocutor ' leading ' Central Television ' admitted that he has in the past there have been instances when the finished scenes were filmed from the air, but stipulates that it happens not so often.
' There are not many cases were, and they are all connected with the editorial policy, led by Director General of the channel [Vladimir Kulistikov ]. There are all kinds of differences - from the ideological to not believe it, the aesthetic. Remodel stories we do not have the time, so you have to give them up. But it is very rare ' - said Takmenev.
Defenders of the Committee against Torture considered the refusal of the NTV plot attack on free speech.
