Pro-Kremlin political strategist Konstantin Dolgov was fired from the Telega Online streaming show for an interview with Wagner PMC owner Yevgeny Prigozhin. Dolgov himself spoke about this in his Telegram channel.
“I was told that my services were not needed. And they said in plain text – this is because of that very interview, ”Dolgov said.
Dolgov noted that the project is supervised and financed by the Internet Development Institute, created with the support of the Presidential Administration.
Dolgov suggested that some people who “got offended by some statements by Prigozhin” ordered to fire him. “But they, apparently, cannot do anything to Yevgeny Viktorovich. Therefore, we decided to win back on the interviewer, ”he said.
"That's not going to work, guys. In Russia, thank God and thanks to the president, there is freedom of speech. I don’t think that Vladimir Vladimirovich will be happy to learn that the presenter of Carts Online was fired for an interview with the triumphant Artemovsk and the Hero of the Russian Federation. Which he took in his spare time, on his own initiative and without using the Carts Online brand. In any case, I think so. I voted for the president and I am sure that he is a principled opponent of any lawlessness. There is nothing to fire me for. In addition, I pulled this project for six months solely due to my personal qualities. You step on the throat of your own song, guys, ”Dolgov wrote.
In an interview, Prigozhin, in particular, called the son of Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov a “thug”, the son-in-law of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu “fuck,” and the Armed Forces of Ukraine one of the strongest armies in the world. The most striking quotes from this interview are at the link .
