Russian TV Channel Censors Discussion of Censorship

Russian bloggers and web media noticed that the major Russian TV channel “Pervy Kanal” cut out a discussion of censorship from the program “Posner” by well-known journalist Vladimir Posner. The fragment was present in the live program broadcasted for the Russian Far East but disappeared from a later broadcast for the European part of Russia, including Moscow. In the fragment, Posner asked his guest, a pro-Kremlin TV presenter, Tina Kandelaki, whether she thinks the Kremlin is behind the apparent ban on certain political figures (such as Alexey Navalny) to appear on TV, which she denied. This is not the first time that politically sensitive material was broadcast by central channels for the Far East, which then disappeared from a later European broadcast.
