The head of the Union of Journalists of Russia (SJR) Vladimir Solovyov in conversation with “RIA News” expressed the opinion that there was a “clear division” in domestic journalism. He believes that journalists are now divided into “those who work for the enemy” and those who “stayed and work for the country and for victory.”

“Well, for the last two years, it’s clear that the main thing that we all have in our hearts is a special military operation… And our military correspondents are now working in all places, although this work is one of the most dangerous. We had to bury our colleagues and our federal colleagues,” said Mr. Solovyov. He gave an interview as part of the celebration of Russian Press Day.

He also said that the COVID-19 pandemic was an indicative period in Russian journalism, during which “the epidemiological situation tested the strength of correspondents and editors.” According to Vladimir Solovyov, at this time many journalists understood how to “decide on heroic things.” “And someone with a drip from the red zone broadcast live and told how it all happens,” he said.

Vladimir Solovyov added that today, January 13, ceremonial events, meetings and awards for journalists will be held in all regions of the country.
