Dmitri Kisseljow (2019)

Dmitri Konstantinowitsch Kisseljow ( Russian Дми́трий Константи́нович Киселёв ; born April 26, 1954 in Moscow ) is a Russian journalist. He is the general director of the state news agency Rossiya Sevodnja , to which the news portal Sputnik belongs, and one of the main figures in Russian propaganda .

Life

Kisseljow grew up in Moscow and studied Scandinavian studies at the University of Leningrad in the 1970s . He then worked as a journalist, initially for Soviet television and later for various Russian and Ukrainian channels. Since 2005 he has worked for the television station Rossija 1 and moderated a. a. the show Westi Nedeli , a review of the week's news. Kisselev is also the vice director of the state media holding company WGTRK .

On December 9, 2013, it was announced that the RIA Novosti news agency and the foreign broadcaster Voice of Russia would be dissolved by a decree by President Vladimir Putin on December 31, 2013, and that a new state news agency called Rossiya Sevodnja would take their place . Kisselev will head this new state agency.

Kisselev is an outspoken supporter of Vladimir Putin's policies. On his 60th birthday, he compared Putin in a positive way with the dictator Josef Stalin . In the reports on Kisselev, nationalistic, xenophobic and polemical statements on EU politics as well as homophobic statements were quoted from him several times .

Kisseljow is married and has four children from several marriages.

As part of the Crimean crisis, Kisselev was the only Russian journalist to be placed on the EU's sanctions list, which means that, among other things, he is affected by an entry ban into the EU. The news agency RIA Novosti, subordinated to Kisselev, stated in this connection that he was "the only journalist in the world to whom political sanctions apply". Kisselev is often referred to in numerous media, including Russian ones, as the "chief propagandist of the Kremlin". The writer Dmitry Bykov believed that Kisselyov was knowingly telling lies, but President Putin knew of no other method of guiding his people.

Awards

On April 3, 2014, Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė Kisseljow withdrew a 1994 medal of honor.
