Sawtra

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sawtra ( Russian Завтра ) is a Russian magazine that combines nationalist with communist content.

history

In 1990 Alexander Andrejewitsch Prochanow founded the magazine initially under the name Den ( День , German day ) and became its editor-in-chief. The paper criticized the policy of perestroika and sided with the communist and conservative putschists during the Moscow coup attempt of 1991 . When President Boris Yeltsin had the magazine banned in 1993 for anti-constitutional reasons , Prokhanov changed its title to Savtra (Tomorrow) and continued publication.

In the following years, the magazine published articles by more left-wing reformers such as the former constitutional judge Valeri Sorkin or the economist Ruslan Chasbulatow , but also by right-wing extremists such as Alexander Barkaschow (the founder of the Russian National Unity organization ) and Alexander Dugin . Statements by the KPRF chairman Gennady Zyuganov were also printed, as were sermons by Metropolitan Ioann Snychev . The lowest common denominator of these very different authors was the opposition to the Yeltsin government and an anti-liberal, anti-Western orientation.

In the summer of 2000, Prochanov invited the Holocaust denier and Ku Klux Klan boss David Duke to Moscow.

In September 2012, on the initiative of Prokhanov , a group of Sawtra authors founded the Izborsk Club , an anti-liberal think tank .

In an interview with Sawtra in November 2014, Igor Girkin , a former leader of the pro-Russian " Donetsk People's Republic ", who is also the author of the publication, claimed to be personally responsible for the escalation of the war in eastern Ukraine .

Authors

Among others, articles by Alexander Dugin , Wladislaw Schurigin , Igor Girkin , Alexander Borodai and Maxim Kalashnikov are currently being published.

Current positions

Since the beginning of the Euromaidan , Prokhanov has been calling for Russian troops to march into Ukraine in the Sawtra . The United States Congress- funded broadcaster Radio Free Europe reported that the Sawtra editorial team is loyal to the government today, in contrast to the oppositional orientation of its early phase. The editor Andrei Fefelow (son of Alexander Prokhanov) called Vladimir Putin an "inspiration". However, there are clear differences between some of the demands made in the Sawtra and official Kremlin policy. Current articles continue to represent different, sometimes contradicting, but consistently anti-Western positions. Scientists describe the magazine as right to right-wing extremist .
