"A curious example of a lackey..." The network discussed the interview of Alexander Gordon to Yuri Duyd

Yuri Duyd continues his series of interviews with former and current opinion leaders. This time he spoke with TV presenter Alexander Gordon, who in the 1990s was considered one of the most "intellectual" figures on Russian television, and even at one time invited philosophers to his broadcasts, which was completely new for Russian television. Gordon also tried to engage in politics, establishing the Party of Public Cynicism, which, however, did not gain any glory. Filmed Gordon and movies, but to no avail. Over time, the presenter has changed a lot, which manifested itself very well in this interview, during which rather unexpected and sad details were revealed: Gordon suffers from alcoholism, but continues to work:

“If we talk by medical standards, then yes, of course, I suffer from alcoholism. But I'm some kind of socialized alcoholic because I work like a nutcase. And it’s very hard for me to combine it, so I’ll have to quit my job. ”

Bloggers reacted vividly to the TV presenter's revelations, calling this spectacle of human degradation pathetic and very sad, and even finding in it the degradation of this era.

Writer Alina Vitukhnovskaya called Gordon a "crumpled little man":

“And here is Gordon. A curious example of a lackey who, despite his money and "career" (well, what kind of careers in Russia ?!) looks completely crushed and gutted. A sort of crumpled person. Looks like a stale handkerchief, forgotten in the living room in the house with gold toilets ... "

Lawyer and public figure Elena Lukyanova was delighted with the skill of the interviewer:

“Dud - Alexander Gordon - this is a delight! Classics of interviews. Jura is the best! I pulled all the shit out. And Sasha, who was down, lying and completely extinguished, did not even take an interest in the interviewer's biography. What a pass he gave to a professional sports journalist! And he got burned. Which is natural. For you should not put yourself so high and so despise the world around you. Bravo, Yura! "

Blogger Alexey Khotyanovsky gave one illustrative example from this conversation:

“- You said that Navalny was used. And you are not used when you run such programs where there are a lot of fakes?

"Well, listen, they pay me a lot for this!"

The expression "like a tortoise god" is about Dud's last interview with Alexander Gordon.

Turning in an hour and a half a bored intellectual (which Gordon imagines himself to be), speaking with slight disdain, through the lip, into a mumbling creature, losing the thread of the conversation, confused in testimony and simply miserable - this, of course, is worth looking at.

Bravo, Yura! "

Journalist Julia Wojewska bitterly complained about the incredible degree of degradation of Gordon:

“Yuri Dud, as a journalist, has grown noticeably, well done. The interview was excellent, 100 points.

Gordon is a boring, old, abandoned drunk. I denied that he was a journalist. And they were once proud together with their friend Solovyov.

Renounced cinema, says that he took off a long time ago, the last, in order to get rid of this profession.

He, of course, had to get rid of this profession even in his first film, he never gave birth to anything good.

He persistently explained that in all current shows he is only an artist, this is only a role, and there is no need to present him for words and behavior.

He praised Putin for a long time, defended "the tsar is good, the boyars are bad", "there is no Putin, there is no Russia", Navalny is a rag, there are simply no normal people in the regions to govern, when asked - honor or money, he answered - money.

Then he complained that he was wildly tired of working on this daily show of his, and wanted to "be Posner" - one broadcast a week for the same profit.

He admitted that he therefore agreed to be interviewed, so whoever hears him and picks him up. That is, he also refused to create his own authoring programs, no one needs it.

Yuri asks him if it seems to him that their show about men and women, with these poor people from depressed regions, is the best reflection and anti-advertising of Putin's rule?

Gordon again defends Putin, personifying his support.

The case when with such support and enemies are not needed.

The point, of course, is not that he is an alcoholic, sane and talented, this is always forgiven.

Old. But, he is a couple of years younger than the same Roizman. In our time, biologically, it is not old age. Just carrying such nonsense about politics, being also a US citizen, like a grandfather from a village rubble, looking into the face of a young journalist right from the grave of the middle of the last century, is extraordinary horror.

As Julius Fucik wrote in his book "Reporting with a noose around his neck" - "Looking at people with a broken conscience is even more frightening than at the beaten ones."

And so I thought that when Dud and his film crew left Gordon's house, Dud said to his own:

- Kill me if I become like that.

P. S.

Once, I don't even remember what years, we listened and watched with great interest, especially their sharp and intelligent skirmishes with Solovyov. It was impossible to imagine both of them being such buffoons ... "

But the Nizhny Novgorod analyst Kirill Lodygin did not experience any delight, looking at this action:

“I watched Dud trying to interview Gordon. And at the same time denounce. And to that all the dudeva denunciations to the lantern.

Infused.

An old, in its own way wise, calculating, cynical and cold reptile, indifferently talks to another cynical reptile, only a young one, who has not yet gathered even vulgar worldly wisdom, ambitious and trying to portray a moral tuning fork. Very funny attempts at which the old reptile condescendingly looks with the cold eyes of a reptile.

This is, so to speak, the comic side of the dialogue.

But there is also another. I have already read about this interview in the feed. Friends write about Gordon's traditional vulgarity: he sold his soul to the devil, etc.

But the old bastard knows there is no devil. And there is no soul. There is nothing to sell and there is no buyer. And she said all this to the stupid reptile-denouncer almost in plain text.

Knowledge, from which the cosmic cold blows..."
