Official TV usually ignores inconvenient news – during the 1991 coup attempt it showed a tape of Swan Lake. Yevgeny Prigozhin’s action was different.
Russian state television did try to skirt round the topic of the attempted coup. Shortly after Vladimir Putin came on television on Saturday morning and declared that Russia was planning to “brutally” put down the “internal mutiny”, the stations aired a long documentary about the life of Silvio Berlusconi. The Italian politician was a friend of Putin’s, but the canned documentary could have waited for the resolution of Prigozhin’s attempt at regime change.
Another TV station showed a documentary about the illegal production of caviar.
RT saying that American and British intelligence stood behind the insurrection.
