International news agency "Rossiya Segodnya"

Kiselyov with Vladimir Putin and Margarita Simonyan on 7 June 2016

On December 9, 2013 it was announced that a new structure would be created on the basis of RIA Novosti — the International News Agency "Rossiya Segodnya". Dmitry Kiselyov was appointed its CEO.[51] According to the presidential decree, the main task of the new agency will be "to cover the state policy of the Russian Federation and Russian public life abroad," and according to Kiselyov, the mission of his organization is "to restore a fair attitude towards Russia as an important country in the world with good intentions."

On April 9, 2014, the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) announced that in a March 21 letter in response to a request to renew an expiring contract to broadcast Voice of America on 810 AM, Rossiya Segodnya Director Dmitry Kiselyov wrote only one sentence: "We will not cooperate." BBG head Jeff Schell said that the termination of the contract is "Moscow's pressure on the media space" and asked for "equal conditions", since the Russian media "enjoy open access to broadcasting in the US and around the world. Russian citizens deserve the same freedom of access to information.” He also stated that BBG will continue to work for the Russian audience on online platforms. The organization of broadcasting via satellite is also not excluded.[52]

In April 2016, hackers announced the hacking and theft of the contents of two mailboxes and the WhatsApp correspondence of Dmitry Kiselyov, which was put up for auction until May 15. The period from 2009 to 2016 is covered with a total amount of information of 11 gigabytes. One of the accounts used was registered to the wife of Kiselyov Maria. The topic is mainly devoted to the projects "Rossiya Segodnya", also in the array there is data on finances and assets (including the purchase of an elite apartment of 204 m2 on Tsvetnoy Boulevard for 162 million rubles in February 2014),[53] challenging the personal sanctions imposed by the EU, purchase of a finished diploma thesis and professional scholarly articles for the wife. Among the interlocutors of Kiselyov were Valentina Fedotova, head of the social philosophy sector of the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences (who writes the texts of the host on a paid basis),[54] economist Nikita Krichevsky [ru], media manager Aram Gabrelyanov, prankster Vovan, Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky.[55][56][57][58]

Activities and commentary

He is best known as presenter of Vesti nedeli (News of the Week),[4] a weekly news programme on the domestic Rossiya 1 television network. Kiselyov holds ultra-conservative views, in particular on homosexuality.[59] His show is accused of being a soapbox to promote the Kremlin's policies,[4] disparage homosexuality, denigrate the West and speculate about Western-led conspiracies as well as attack the political opposition to Putin.[60]

Kiselyov has gained particular notice in the West for his commentary on gay people[4] and statements made during the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation.[61] Kiselyov considers himself a liberal, while questioning the liberal credentials of his rivals Sergey Parkhomenko and Alexei Navalny. Regarding Parkhomenko and Navalny, he has asked, "Why are they liberals? They are absolutely totalitarian people. I am a liberal, because I put up with them."[62] Kiselyov has been described by The Economist as Russia's propagandist-in-chief,[63][2] and in a piece entitled "Russian TV host: Russia is the only country with capability to turn U.S. into 'radioactive dust'" The Washington Post says that:

He may seem extreme, but Kiselyov apparently has the blessing of the Kremlin: He's been selected to head the new Russian state media conglomerate, Rossiya Segodnya, that is due to replace the well-respected RIA Novosti. He also has a point. Russia is still a major nuclear power, with an estimated 8,500 nuclear warheads, more than the United States.[64][65]

Praise of Stalin era

Kiselyov has lauded the Stalin era of the Soviet Union, arguing "there were many fewer problems than now. Drug addicts, homosexual marriages, and so on. These things have never been welcomed by Orthodoxy from the outset. I regard them as a Protestant-Lutheran compromise."[59]

Both of Kiselyov's grandfathers were repressed by Stalin.[66] One of them was executed during the Stalin era.[66]

Homophobia

In one televised commentary, he said "banning gays from distributing propaganda to children is not enough. I think they should be banned from donating blood or sperm, and if they die in a car crash, their hearts should be burnt or buried in the ground as unsuitable for the continuation of life",[67] suggesting that the internal organs of gay people should be burned and buried rather than be accepted for organ transplants.[60][68]

An online petition titled "No Fascism on TV" calling for him to be fired from the Russia 24 TV channel gathered over 3,500 signatures, and several bloggers called for his comments to be sanctioned under laws banning extremism and hate speech.[67] However, Kiselyov refused to retract the statement, telling the Izvestia newspaper that "I'm not a homophobe. Lots of my friends are gay. It is simply global practice, as followed in the United States, the European Union, Japan, and Arab countries. Practically everywhere except Russia" he said,[67] claiming that he just wanted Russia to become more "civilized" and join the United States, the European Union, Japan and the Arab world by prohibiting gay people from donating blood and other organs. He also incorrectly claimed that the Food and Drug Administration in the US kept a database of "everyone in the US who has had a same-sex sexual relation over the past twenty years, with the equivalent EU agency doing the same", according to The Moscow Times.[69][70] Timothy Snyder writes in The New York Review of Books that "Kiselyov has taken Putin's campaign against gay rights and transformed it into a weapon against European integration."[71] Concerning murders on the basis of the victim's homosexuality, he claimed that "they knowingly call for and provoke the situation in order to become victims" and that the society naturally counters their activities by "most variable, including brutal forms".[72] Kiselyov has also condemned gay pride parades and while he opposes same-sex marriage, he has been sympathetic to the idea of civil unions for same-sex couples.[73]

Sweden

In Sweden, he gained media attention in December 2013 when he criticized the moral values of that country in response to the 2013 Ukrainian protests, for which he partly blamed the Swedish political leadership and Swedish foreign minister Carl Bildt[74] as well as the government of Poland, accusing Poland and Sweden of fomenting the protests to avenge defeats in centuries-old Polish-Russian and Russo-Swedish Wars.[60]

Ukraine

Anti-war protest in Moscow on 21 September 2014. Protester holds a cartoon showing Kiselyov.
Countries that banned Kiselyov from entering their territory (March 2015).

On May 15, 2014, Kiselyov said about the country, "There is no Ukraine. That is only a virtual concept, a virtual country. If you want to live in a virtual world, please do. ... But Ukraina.ru is a real portal. Not about the country, but about that territory which was under the rule of that country. Now it is a failed state."[75] Ukraina.ru has been determined to be a state-sponsored fake news dissemination outlet by the EU's anti-disinformation East Stratcom Task Force

Dmitry Kiselyov being on the list for the first round of personal sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU in March 2014, in connection with the Russo-Ukrainian War, came as ″the biggest surprise″ to the international media.[76] Since September 11, 2014, Kiselyov is banned from entering Ukraine.[77]

Sanctioned by the UK government in 2014 in relation to Russo-Ukrainian War. [78]

In 2016, he admitted that a document he had presented on his weekly Vesti Nedeli news show was fake. A week after presenting the identity of a Ukrainian officer in the Galician SS-Volunteer division, he "thanked the attentive audience for finding “inaccuracies” in the document and said it was fake".[79]

Syria

In October 2015, Kiselyov was quoted as claiming that the US was fighting alongside the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Syria,[80] saying: "In Syria, America stands on the side of the terrorist caliphate. Together they are trying to destroy Syria as a secular state." Kiselyov later blamed the Metrojet Flight 9268 crash on a secret pact between America and ISIS,[63] and has said that if American bombers were to attack the Syrian army, then "We'll shoot them down".[81] He also said that "imprudent behaviour" towards Russia in retaliation for its actions in the war may lead to "nuclear" consequences.[81]

2014 "radioactive dust" threat

On March 16, 2014, against the backdrop of the Crimean referendum held a day prior, Kiselyov commented in his weekly current affairs and analytical programme Vesti Nedeli (News of the Week) in the context of his presentation about Vladimir Putin being a stronger leader than U.S. president Barack Obama: "After all, Russia is the only country in the world that is truly capable of turning the USA into radioactive dust."[82] He also suggested that that was the reason why Obama's hair had been turning grey.[82] Vladimir Putin in October 2016 replied to a question about Kiselyov's "radioactive dust" remark by saying that nuclear sabre-rattling was "harmful rhetoric"; the Q&A exchange was shortly afterwards commented on by Kiselyov in his programme, in which he elaborated on what Putin actually said.[83][84]

2016 US presidential election

Kiselyov described the 2016 United States presidential election as "the dirtiest campaign in the history of the United States", and that "It has been so revoltingly foul that there is real disgust at the fact that ... they still talk of democracy in America".[85] He also repeated unfounded allegations of electoral fraud throughout the election, claiming that they made 1990s electoral fraud in Russia look like "simple child's play in comparison".[85] Following the election of Donald Trump as the president-elect, Kiselyov praised Trump as an "anti-establishment" candidate, welcoming his readiness to co-operate with Putin.[86] In early 2017, Kiselyov stopped praising Trump and said he was more dangerous and unpredictable than North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.[87][88]

2022 United Kingdom nuclear threats

On 1 May 2022, Kiselyov threatened serving Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson with nuclear annihilation on his Sunday night news show claiming, without credible evidence, the United Kingdom and Ireland could be "plunged into the sea" and turned into a "radioactive wasteland" by a single Russian underwater nuclear strike.[89][90] A week after his nuclear threat, Kiselyov was pictured at the five-star Jumeirah Al Qasr hotel in Dubai with his eighth wife.[91]

Personal life

He has been married several times. By the age of 22, he had already been married three times.[59] He was criticized for his numerous marriages by the Communist Party.[59] Kiselyov has said that the party blocked his career in the final years of the Soviet Union due to the numerous marriages.[59]

He is religious and a strong supporter of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow.[59]
