Propagandists will soon receive enormous funds from the federal budget

Good news for Russian taxpayers. Now, their money will also go towards funding propaganda outlets that pour a constant stream of lies into the ears of Russian citizens. Now, Solovyov will scream on his channel not just for fun, but for the money of Russian citizens.

The government has submitted the draft budget for 2025-2027 to the State Duma.

For the first time, the authorities have begun financing the channel “Solovyov Live” and “Readovka” from the state budget. Solovyov’s channel will receive over 4 billion rubles.

State funding will go to the “Solovyov Live” channel for the first time. In 2025-2027, its legal entity (LLC “Telekompaniya Strikhod”) will be allocated 4.5 billion rubles from the budget. In 2023, it received over 600 million rubles from Moscow’s TVC for various television projects. Now, the funding for low-grade propaganda increases to 4.5 billion rubles.

Perhaps they decided to sweeten the deal for Solovyov because of his villa near Lake Como in Italy, which this outstanding patriot acquired. And note, not somewhere in the Baikal region or, at worst, by Lake Senezh, but right in the heart of hated Europe, where “gays and various scary transgender people roam in packs.” And moreover, in a NATO country, with which he will now be waging war on his channel, not just for fun, but for federal budget money.

For the first time, the authorities will openly finance the aggressive Z-channel Readovka. In the 2025 budget, 49 million rubles are allocated to it. In January 2022, the founder and editor-in-chief of Readovka, Alexey Kostylev, claimed that his publication had no external funding. He specifically stated that he did not receive money from the Kremlin or other government structures. Kostylev said his channel was independent. Now, he will be misleading Russians with his aggressive rhetoric at the taxpayers’ expense.

In light of this news, there’s another report from the Moscow region.

Employees of boiler houses in Chekhov, near Moscow, have stated that the city will freeze and they will quit due to the lack of salaries. The city’s housing and utilities enterprise is deeply in debt, owing billions of rubles.
