[ad_1]
Dozhd channel journalist Vladimir Romensky (recognized as a foreign agent in accordance with Russian law, like the channel itself) announced his dismissal on social networks.
The reason was the decision of the channel’s management to dismiss the presenter Alexei Korostelev, who said on the air that the channel helped mobilized Russians solve the problems. The statement of the journalist naturally led to a scandal. Korostelev, in turn, said that he did not call for the support of the military, and his words were taken out of context.
Romensky wrote that he was also responsible for that broadcast, and considered the right decision to quit. He also accused Dozhd’s leadership of a “monstrous mistake”.
At present, the Latvian authorities have begun the process of revoking the residence permit for the employees of Dozhd in the country, the Minister of Defense of Latvia Artis Pabriks made a corresponding statement.
In addition to Latvia, the Dozhd channel has studios in Holland, France and Georgia.
