No journalist is safe from embarrassing situations. And everyone can become the culprit of a ridiculous incident during the broadcast or another shoot. Experienced correspondents of television channels also do not bypass this pattern. Often, a powerful scandal can flare up around their interviews, at the epicenter of which we get the interviewer himself. A similar incident recently occurred with former Rain journalist Stanislav Natanzon.
Stas Natanzon: who is he?
If we talk about the biography of the young correspondent, then much is not possible to learn about Stanislav. In open sources and in social networks, the journalist prefers not to be frank. Stas Natanzon is a host of political programs and reports on the Russia 24 channel. Born in 1987 in Moscow. Stanislav began his career as a radio host, and later became a correspondent in hot spots. The Moscow journalist worked on the Dozhd and Rossiya24 television channels. On the last channel, Natanzon received the post of presenter. The 29-year-old journalist is not currently officially married.
Most Russian citizens consider Stanislav a living reporter and love to listen to him. Others accuse of tongue-tied language and the use of absurd expressions. He is the author of high-profile investigative journalism and reporting.
Scandalous case
In one of its broadcasts, one well-known Russian television channel showed an anonymous. The man introduced himself as the author of the popular political Telegram channel "Nezygar." Immediately after the interview on the channel’s blog, a refutation of the details of the event was put forward. Stas Natanzon was at the center of the events of this interview, trying to skillfully smooth and cover inappropriate provocative statements.
An interview with an unknown person took place on the air of the political television program Press Conference. The image of a man in a balaclava was displayed on the studio screen, and the voice, of course, was changed.
The Nezygar channel is recognized as one of the most popular on the Telegram network. It contains various information about governmental and political changes and moods, analyzes the struggle for power in Russia, and discusses the clan affiliation of officials. Political reviews are quite acute and uncensored.
Interview: was it or not?
During a conversation with reporters, an unknown person focused on her pro-Russian, not pro-Kremlin position. The man acknowledged his obligation to inform some people and emphasized that the experts themselves should gather around his activities.
The author of the Nezygar channel stated that journalism in its classic form is already in the past, and advised switching to Telegram channels. And he urged journalists to put on balaclavas.
Stas Natanzon called it a kind of anonymous blogging, but the hero not only corrected the host, but also indicated the reasons for his anonymity. Allegedly, the real author of the channel does not recognize himself as an anonymous man.
Later, the statement disappeared from the channel altogether. Instead, a link appeared to the broadcast of the program with a signature on the failed interview.
Did you manage to identify the main character of the interview and shed light on the event? Two days later, another political Telegram-blog "Methodology" put forward an assumption about the identity of the mysterious guest. In their opinion, this is the writer Ilias Mercury, who is an activist of the Anti-Maidan movement in Russia.
Most likely, his name was simply used, since it was he who earlier announced his agreement with the anonymous author.
Ilias himself responded to the assumptions of the "Manuals" with a frank banter and parodies on the channel "Nezygar".
Stas Natanzon, whose biography is filled with interesting facts, and his activities with “hot” political investigations, commented on the statements of Mercury on the Web. He noted the peculiarity of the literary style of Ilias and the love of provocation.
Ilias Mercury, in addition to literature, is engaged in journalism at the Dick Riot agency, which conducted trolling representatives of the “swamp” movement.
