The head of the TVC television channel, owned by the Moscow city government, has been dismissed after he presented a documentary titled Your High Loneliness, in which he holds a virtual conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kommersant daily reported.
Sources close to Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov told the paper that Oleg Poptsov knew that he was going to be dismissed and made a film out of revenge.
Addressing the president, the journalist expressed the opinion that the Russian leader is so lonely that there is no one to tell him how Russian people live, how the freedom of expression is suppressed, how corrupt bureaucrats are and how poor people are.
Poptsov was dismissed from the post of general director of the TVC television at a session of the television company’s board of directors just before the expiry of his contract. Besides TVC he also headed the Pushkinskaya Ploshchad printing complex and the Moscow Government Media Center. However, he received an offer to focus on the development of the printing complex and Media Center.
