hello friends I am professor philip Kovacevic and this is the 10th edition of the Russian newspapers monitor [Music] I hope you are doing well today I would like to thank you for your positive comments and feedback and thank you also for being a part of the news but community the best is yet to come let us begin our weekly roundup of the front page news in
the major Russian newspapers in the second part of the show I have a special treat for you I discuss the front page articles or two newspapers I have not covered before the first one on our list today is the Russian government own newspaper resist kiyaah gazeta the addition for december 7 2016 on the bottom of the front page there is an article with a typo the
strongest weapon the subtitle explains that the weapon in question is information and stays that Russia adopted the new doctrine on information security the article reports that the Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a document approving a new government doctrine on information security effective immediately the doctrine deals with the Russian activities in international cyber and media spheres it enables the country to plan organize and execute informational resistance
including defense against cyberattacks the earlier doctrine dealing with government activities in this area was written in the year 2000 and was obviously outdated the aim of the new doctrine is a defense of the rush of sovereignty and territorial integrity the preservation of political economic and social stability in the country and the protection of the so-called critical informational infrastructure the key risk facing Russia this is defined
as a capability of certain foreign countries to negatively affect the Russian information infrastructure in pursuit or geo political and military goals the doctrine also notes the persistent discrimination of the Russian media in the West in addition to the dramatic increase of the Western media reports critical of the Russian government in the last few years the doctrine emphasizes what it caused the particularly strong informational pressure on
the Russian youth with the aim of diluting traditional Russian spiritual and moral values another significant threat described in the doctrine is the current dependence of the Russian industry on the digital and cyber components invented and developed in foreign countries this makes the growth of the Russian industrial output dependent on the geopolitical interests of those countries and so the doctrine calls for the rapid integration of domestic
hardware and software solutions to eliminate the dependence the main goal is to make Russia technologically independent the article quotes Sergey jealous Nia who is the ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Russian Duma and a high-level official in the ruling united russia party as saying that the doctrine is an important component of the overall system of the russian national security because it enumerates a
whole set of measures to prevent and repel informational and cyber attacks he also noted the United States and if European partners have begun a real information war against Russia including the constant and in his opinion baseless accusations of the Russians supposedly aggressive behavior jelinek stated the treasure is affected the interests of other countries but would firmly reply to any propaganda attacks and open lies the new
doctrine provides a legal framework for doing so another Russian politician puter Tolstoy a deputy president of the Duma agreed with shelley's Nia Tolstoy stressed the danger or cyber attacks of the Russian banks one of which happened last week and the necessity for the Russian government to provide both the defensive and offensive cyber capabilities against hackers and possible terrorists the chairman of the information policies committee the
Duma Leonarda levin a member of the pro-government party just russia stated that the intelligence agencies of various countries have been using the internet is yet another means of subverting Russian sovereignty and territorial integrity as a way to combat these destabilizing operations let me suggest it the articulation of international rules for the control of the internet at the level of the United Nations however this is not
the majority of you in the Russian parliament the article also reports the statement of put his press secretary Mitra Peskov who said the new doctrine allows Russia to direct its resources not only to the development of its own digital technologies but also to the planning of complex operations against the manipulations of historical facts on the Russian role in various European conflicts which are now going on
in the Western media and academia with full force in my opinion the new Russian doctrine on information security together with its new military doctrine underscores the extent to which Russia feels threatened by the west of course the Russians are still willing to cooperate with the west on various issues of mutual interest however any trust that may have been present in the 90s has clearly been dissipated
at this time Russia is in the process of constructing a new legal framework grounded in national sovereignty and technological self-sufficiency the focus will be on regional Eurasian integrations and the globalist institutions will increasingly lose their power and legitimacy the question is are we in the new Middle Ages right now [Music] now let's look at the front page of his race here the moderate pro-government newspaper the
addition for December 7 2016 in the bottom right corner of the front page there is an article about two Russian nurses killed in aleppo on december 5th the title of the article is nadia one of the nurses did not plan to go to Syria it all happened unexpectedly and the subtitle explains that for the two nurses Nadezhda to retain co and galina mikhailovna this was the
second tour of duty in Syria next to the title there is a color photograph of a Russian soldier at the spot of the completely destroyed mobile medical facility in Aleppo the article reports that duration curve at mikhailovna were members of the military medical group within the Russian southern Military District and they were flown into Syria week ago they set up a mobile medical facility in a
suburb of Aleppo for the use of local residents sometime around noon on December fifth the facility was hit directly by the artillery shells and self-made explosive devices or the serial militants the two Russian nurses were killed in the attack and the pediatrician dr. vladimer sainthia was badly wounded he was first evacuated to the Russian Air Base coming in Syria and never Sloan back to Russia the
article provides some biographical information on doroshenko and mihailovna both were from the town of B Robuchon which is the administrative capital of the Jewish autonomous region in Russia near the border with China the Autonomous Region was established in the 1930s by the number of Jews living there never went above twenty-five percent where is too day is less than 1% d'argento was 40 years old and received
her medical training in P Robuchon she was married and had a 19 year old daughter mihailovna also studied medicine in Eurovision and joined the military in 2013 she had a 15 year old son the article interviews several doroshenko and McCollum has friends who expressed profound grief at the tragedy it also reports that the Russian Defense Minister Sergei shoigu issued an order for the millet for the
ministry to provide financial support to the affected families in my opinion the positioning of this article on the front page is a sign that the Russian government is willing to be open with the Russian people about the risks and dangers of the intervention in Syria putin's administration is not afraid that if we lose the russian people support the way the US government lost support for each
wars in Vietnam Afghanistan and Iraq as well as the covert war in Syria I should have it appears that the majority of the Russian people remain convinced that their military intervention in Syria despite the casualties is justified in light of Russia's national security interests in addition the article also portrays the Syrian militants has delivered sadistic killers of defenseless civilians and medical personnel this is not the
way they have typically been presented in the Western mainstream media they are supposed to be the good guys defending freedom and democracy from the dictatorial courts or the Syrian President Bashar al-assad and his Russian Iranian and Chinese cronies obviously there is plenty that is wrong with this means same narrative and mid events such as this blatant killing of the Russian nurses the falsity of the narrative
is being more and more exposed for the whole world to see [Music] now we'll move to the front page of Nez avisame I Gazzetta the middle of the road newspaper the addition of December 7 2016 on the front page there is a big color photograph of the Turkish Prime Minister benally here dear him smiling and shaking hands with the Russian Prime Minister mitri Medvedev the title
in big bold letters proclaims Russia needs the turkey Stream pipeline not Turkish Tomatoes the subtitle explains that Ankara is trying to speed up economic cooperation with Moscow the article reported the Turkish Prime Minister benally Hildy reham who is on an official visit to Moscow call on Russia and Turkey to accelerate and why the economic exchange a trade however according to the article the Russian officials are
still playing a cautious hand they agreed to organize a big russian-turkish economic summit but only later next year until then they are asked in Turkey to provide more secure guarantees for long-term projects such as the turkey stream natural gas pipeline and the nuclear power plant aku you in fact the Russian government is still refusing to lift completely the embargo on the Turkish fruits and vegetables the
