Prigogine offered Carlson defense: I know who the interview caused fear

The producer was one of the first to watch the recording

Today the world community is discussing Vladimir Putin’s grandiose interview, which he gave to American journalist Tucker Carlson. The publication appeared at night, Moscow time, on the journalist’s video platform, and in the morning it was shown on a Russian TV channel. Today only the lazy do not discuss this interview.

Some Russian stars are also interested in politics. For example, Joseph Prigozhin, who watched the recording, as they say, from cover to cover, shared his thoughts with Moskovsky Komsomolets.

“I started watching interviews on the Internet on Carlson’s channel after Valeria and I arrived from filming at three in the morning. A little later I watched the finale. The interview is great. This is an absolute message not only to the Western establishment, but also to the people who live there and are deprived of the opportunity to freely receive information from various sources. I think the whole world has been waiting for this interview because Tucker Carlson remains a person who can bring to people what worries us all. Many have been waiting for this interview, because this is a tunnel in which it is possible to see the light, where they call for peace, not confrontation. This is an opportunity to reach the West, to convey thoughts,” the producer shared. — I watch almost all the President’s speeches, and they were always clear to me. I listened to almost every word, look, everything he said. I completely agree with everything the President said. To be honest, this is how I imagined this interview. In the entire history of modern Russia and the Soviet Union, there has not been another leader with such knowledge, fantastic restraint, and upbringing. A person has culture, a sense of humor, the ability to understand and understand. He has deep historical knowledge. And, of course, all this causes a certain pride. I watched the interview with rapture, both as a viewer and as a citizen, I heard what I wanted.”

Working in show business, Prigogine could not help but note important topics for himself that particularly concern him as a cultural figure: “What unites states, people, nations? – Economy, culture and sports. And when a culture is banned, events arise followed by tragedy. That’s all. Actually, this is what the President said in his interview. The President indicated that we have always had great ties with Ukraine, but we could not allow what happened now. For example, all these attempts to cancel Russian culture… After all, back in 2014, 500 Russian artists were banned, many of whom are no longer alive, films by Eldar Ryazanov, textbooks. We didn’t do this!”

According to Joseph, he is worried about the fate of the journalist, who has now come under attack.

“I know that there were leaders who opposed and were indignant and did not want Carlson to do this interview. Because there is a certain fear. They don’t need a second truth. There is only the one that they voice and that they want to convey. Well, look at the calls now: “Let’s deprive Tucker of the opportunity to come to Europe, let’s take away this and that.” Well, is this normal? Does this have anything to do with civilization? And now the question arises, what is journalism, pluralism of opinions? Then explain to me how a person can pursue a career? Carlson must be protected!” said the producer.
