A new television channel, “Nomad”, associated with the propaganda channel Russia Today (RT), funded by the Kremlin, and with the organization of fugitive Ilan \u0218or, is being launched in Kyrgyzstan, writes Meduza<\/a>, citing an investigation published by “Radio Azattyk”, part of the media corporation Radio Free Europe. The sources specify that the new platform will promote a pro-Russian agenda.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
The creation of the “Nomad” television channel was discovered a few months ago, writes Newsmaker.md<\/a>. According to “Radio Azattyk”, the recruitment of staff for the new TV channel was carried out by editors who worked in the Kyrgyzstan office of the Russian agency Sputnik. One of the positions at the new television station was occupied by the editor-in-chief of Sputnik in Kyrgyzstan, Erkin Al\u00eembekov. His wife, journalist Svetlana Akmatalieva from the National Television and Radio Corporation, trains the newly recruited employees. “Nomad” is recruiting employees from other media in Kyrgyzstan. Several people have moved to “Nomad” from the main state channel UTRK, as well as from “Channel 7”.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
According to the director of “Channel 7” and the president of the Union of Journalists of Kyrgyzstan, Ilyazbek Baltashev, employees are changing their jobs because of higher salaries, and local publications cannot withstand competition in the labor market with “large media from abroad”. According to the publication, it is unknown from what sources the new channel will receive funding. Baltashev “heard that it will be funded by Russia”.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The sources cited report that the producer of the new channel is Russian citizen Anna Abakumova, who previously worked in the media group Russia Today. After the Russian invasion in Ukraine, Abakumova made reports from the territories of Ukraine occupied by Russia. “Radio Azattyk” calls Abakumova “Simonyan’s (RT and MIA “Rossiya Segodnya” editor-in-chief Margarita) prot\u00e9g\u00e9 or close collaborator, as well as the main producer of RT”.<\/p>\n

Journalists employed at “Nomad” are trained within the “Eurasia” center, according to the “Radio Azattyk” sources “initiated in the subject”. The founder of “Eurasia”, according to Simonyan, is Moldovan businessman Ilan \u0218or. According to the cited source, among others, the editor-in-chief of RT and the chairman of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, are on the board of the organization. In Kyrgyzstan, \u0218or and his structure have carried out extensive activities: they have opened journalism and other specialization courses, donated buses to schools, built the “Eurasia” park in Bishkek, and opened social stores, notes the publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
