00:00:06
Younger audiences in Russia may not know the guy. 00:00:10
20+ years ago, Mamontov was a popular reporter who rose to fame
after his coverage of the Kursk submarine disaster in August 2000.00:00:19
In the 2000s, he switched to bombshell propagandist exposés,00:00:23
with most famous being the one about a “spy stone” Western spies
were ostensibly using to share classified information. 00:00:30
Mamontov is now largely a propaganda has-been,00:00:34
and is now rarely directing exposés of the opposition
and all those considered as enemies of the people. 00:00:41
This time he did the same. 00:00:42
The movie is about foreign agents using Western money
to do their nasty job. Nobody knows what kind of nasty. 00:00:47
Maybe it’s their public talks and gigs.00:00:52
The bit about myself is a true gem. 00:00:54
Mamontov’s minions bought the tickets, waited in line,
endured my entire gig, including the intermission,00:01:00
and spectated the recording of my YT video,
only to then “expose” my pink unicorn-selling auction. 00:01:08
Maxim Katz is making money all over the place.
Here you can see Katz auctioning off a rag unicorn doll.00:01:17
"600 going once, going twice, and sold."00:01:31
In the end, Katz sold the cheap toy for €600,
with a memorable photo as a bonus.00:01:41
The only takeaway from this clip is that
foreign agent Maxim Katz earns a living reselling stuffed toys. 00:01:49
On a serious note, though, our takeaway is that
the propaganda realizes that “foreign agents” are a problem.00:01:55
!A Stigma or a Badge of Honor?!00:02:00
The Russian legislation on foreign agents illustrates the clash
of the two lines of reasoning: a political one and a bureacractic one. 00:02:07
Politics-wise, a foreign agents register is a handy tool designed 00:02:12
to mess with people’s lives by fabricating charges, firing them, or
berating them through propaganda mouthpieces—in a bulk fashion.00:02:21
With this in place, it’s easier to pass the bill requiring
that foreign agents should travel through the air than
to investigate and oversee a couple hundred criminal cases.00:02:30
Several times a year, foreign agents are facing new restrictions,
like the ban on holding a teaching job or advertising, 00:02:36
which makes their life and professional activities
in Russia barely manageable.00:02:40
Yet, the main point of these enemy logs is a social stigma. 00:02:45
Making these lists is akin to getting a black mark against yourself
that you’re almost required to wear. 00:02:53
A foreign agent must report their status
to anyone they come into contact with,00:02:56
attaching this disclaimer to every message they share, say,
in a school parental chat, like, stay away from me. 00:03:04
If you think about it, the foreign agents register is supposed to play
the role of an offenders register on a law enforcement website, 00:03:10
this destroying the person’s social life. 00:03:12
All of their neighbors know who they are
and would want to steer clear of you.00:03:17
That’s the way it was at the outset. 00:03:19
When the early household names began making the list,
it used to be front-page news. 00:03:24
Back then, it seemed to be the way for the government
to fight a person without investing any time
or money into personal persecution.00:03:33
But the logic of bureacrats is different. On their paradigm,
if there’s a list, they are supposed to keep expanding it. 00:03:40
There are payroll employees that are tasked
with identifying new pernicious Western agents.00:03:47
Once a bureacrat has to deal with a list,
it starts snowballing uncontrollably.00:03:53
Notably, in a system of this type, where
a shocking headline trumps common sense 00:03:57
and different agencies vie to make headlines,
this list won’t include some regional political activists.00:04:07
It will include the most popular and famous folks. 00:04:11
The headline “Andrei Makarevich (russian rock star)
declared a foreign agent” is a head-turner in Russia.00:04:15
A scale that grand shows that the Justice Ministry
is using its power and its funds the right way.00:04:23
To make Arkady Mamontov a happy camper,
we'll pause for a brief commercial. Stay tuned.00:04:27
ADS00:05:34
Let's keep rolling. So, our system's enemy register
keeps including popular personalities and celebs.00:05:42
As a result, the Russian foreign agents list
is now resembling some kind of a hall of fame.00:05:48
The inductees include the likes of Makarevich, Galkin,
Oxxxymiron, Morgenshtern, Pivovarov, Schulmann, Bykov, Akunin, 00:05:54
and Lazareva,
making it a multigenerational potpourri list. 00:05:58
Someone’s grandpa may have been listening
to Grebenshchikov’s songs in the 1980s.00:06:01
Their dad was a Bi-2 fan in the 1990s,
and they’re listening to Monetochkha. 00:06:05
Playlists featuring foreign agents’ songs are something
that brings this family together.00:06:11
It gets as absurd as this. Whenever a dissenting celeb
is declared a foreign agent, people often go,00:06:20
“Like, seriously, isn’t s/he on the list yet?” 00:06:23
If someone’s singing to a sold-out crowd without extolling the war00:06:26
or has written a best-selling book
without mentioning the “valiant” war heroes, 00:06:29
they must be an honorary foreign agent if they aren’t on the list. 00:06:34
An individual’s status isn’t just a catchy phrase.
It’s as valuable as the other names sharing this status. 00:06:39
An Oscar isn’t worth a peach pit. 00:06:43
Winning it is only prestigious because it puts you on a par
with the likes of Marlon Brando and Tom Hanks. 00:06:50
Top grad schools are proud of their famed alumni,00:06:54
and a semester at a school whose alums include five presidents
and Nobel Prize winners costs dozens of thousands of bucks. 00:07:00
In Putin’s system, a social stigma is being
on the list Nobel Prize winner Dmitry Muratov is on. 00:07:06
Goodness gracious,
how can any deal with this shameful association?00:07:11
The criteria underlying the foreign agents
register are the ones used to build a political party. 00:07:16
People of different backgrounds, age groups, 00:07:19
and convictions only have one thing in common:
they are against Putin and his war. 00:07:27
These ranks include political strategists,
political activists, lecturers, and performers.00:07:35
Imagine all these celeb foreign agents sharing a stage.
It would be comparable to the 1969 Woodstock, no less. 00:07:44
On the one hand, it’s easy to relate to bureacrats
that were tasked with a simple extrajudicial procedure.00:07:49
It’s hard to resist the urge to start adding each
and every person since adding comes that easy. 00:07:55
On the other hand, the simplicity of these bulk additions
doesn’t expose the names on the list but the very idea behind it. 00:08:03
Granted, putting someone on the list is a repressive step
that leads to a litany of problems for the “inductee.”00:08:08
But from the public opinion’s perspective,
ceaselessly expanding the list has turned into a joke.00:08:14
There’s some evidence to back it up.00:08:16
The fact that they had to pass the bill banning one’s products
from being advertised by foreign agents shows00:08:22
that the Russian businesses holding Russian bank accounts
didn’t view foreign agents as “the enemies of the people” 00:08:30
and kept buying sponsored ad segments from them.00:08:32
It means those who were outlawed by the government
have a wide following, and there are businesses eager
to advertise to these viewers. 00:08:41
!Roll Back From Failure!00:08:46
Mamontov’s exposé sure looks like the government attempting
to sort out its botched PR project 00:08:51
and imbue the foreign agent stigma
with a new meaning and new substance.00:08:55
Sinister background music is designed to convince
the viewer that the devious holders of the foreign agent title 00:09:00
are hard at work harming the country and its people.00:09:06
Berlin's Evangelical Church is hosting such events.
It's a sold-out venue. 00:09:13
The propaganda is working, and the attendees like it.00:09:18
The Russian for "recruit" derives
from the German "werben" literally meaning just this. 00:09:23
The second meaning, however, is "try to appeal to someone."
That's something Schulmann truly excels in.00:09:34
It’s not just a weird one-off documentary—it’s apparently part
of a larger media campaign intended
to resuscitate the original foreign agent register project. 00:09:42
It aims to let everyone know it’s not a farce or a sign of recognition.00:09:47
It’s a list of enemies incarnate who keep
inflicting damage on Russia even from abroad.00:09:55
The problem is the names on the list. 00:09:59
True, a gripping crime drama instrumental would make
an ASMR knitting video look like a horrible crime scene.00:10:05
But what they aired on national TV was something
every single “foreign agent” would be glad to air.00:10:11
Ekaterina Schulmann is giving a talk on applyin
to foreign college programs.00:10:15
I’m shown doing a gig and saying that Putin
is trying to sell humiliation and leech off of it. 00:10:22
These clips are spun as if some brave reporters had infiltrated
some authorized attendees-only events, whereas in reality,00:10:27
these people bought publicly available tickets
to attend public events that involved no clandestine knowledge. 00:10:35
It’s hard to shoot true crime dramas on Mexican drug cartels 00:10:39
when you’re making an undercover recording of someone
who isn’t hiding in the first place 00:10:44
and who was labeled a foreign agent
for their legal public and political activities. 00:10:48
And even just public, with no politics involved.00:10:51
Once they were assigned this new status,
they kept doing exactly the same legal thing. 00:10:57
The problem with a media campaign surrounding the register
is the same as the one with the register itself.00:11:02
It turns out it’s hard to dig the dirt on the people
who’ve been leading public lives for years and even decades. 00:11:09
They received accolades and awards and earned fame
doing the exact same things they’re now doing abroad.00:11:15
If you want to convince someone that the foreign agents list
isn’t just an arbitrary way of messing with people’s lives
but a tool designed to protect the country against its enemies, 00:11:22
you better believe this premise and figure things out for yourself. 00:11:27
Otherwise, your alleged exposé simply says that Maxim Katz,
an inveterate enemy of the people,
has stooped to publicly selling toy unicorns.00:11:37
Mind you, not that it’s a veiled coke stash
or a hand grenade intended to be thrown at the Kremlin—no, 00:11:43
it’s a regular toy unicorn that must’ve been produced
in a Southeast Asian country that’s officially a friendly state. 00:11:51
Of course, it’s a very big deal.00:11:52
Foreign agents haven’t been publicly stigmatized
the way they were supposed to. 00:11:55
Their audiences are growing. 00:11:57
They are touring the world and selling tickets to their gigs,
including those who never did it while living in Russia. 00:12:03
like myself.00:12:05
The government has been so overused,
it now resembles a shabby washcloth. 00:12:11
No one is afraid to be a foreign agent. 00:12:13
Far from it, the foreign agents,
a hodgepodge of individuals who would’ve otherwise
never mingled together, are now a political entity. 00:12:22
A foreign opposition party membership
is now being granted by the Justice Ministry.00:12:26
Clearly, they weren’t cracking down on the foreign agency
legislation over the past decade, only for it to become a bad joke.00:12:34
Sure enough, the propaganda will be doing its utmost
to resuscitate both the list and the status. 00:12:40
We’ll sure see plenty of videos showing people
the immense detriment of these celebs, 00:12:45
which were role models for generations of Russians,
honest journalists, human rights advocates,
and other upright individuals. 00:12:52
But there’s a catch. 00:12:53
No matter the camera angle or the background music, Galkin,
Makarevich, and Muratov remain the nation’s best representatives, 00:13:02
while those who are looking
to dig some dirt on them remain strident nobodies.00:13:06
And seeing as the government’s rank stupidity has led
to foreign agent status becoming a badge of honor,
so be it—this can’t be undone. 00:13:15
In closing, to make Arkady Mamontov happy again,
we’ll announce an online auction this time.00:13:23
Here’s a pink unicorn, and here’s my signed book. 00:13:29
We’ll send them to the follower who will have made
the largest donation to our channel today. 00:13:34
If it’s a tossup, we’ll send several of those.00:13:37
If we are going to raise enough money,
we’ll use it to shoot a new episode of our WW2 docuseries. 00:13:42
The production had to be halted in the wake of the advertising ban.00:13:47
Here’s what you need to do.00:13:48
Follow the link in the description to DM our manager
the amount of money you’re willing to donate. 00:13:51
If yours is the largest amount, our manager will let you know.
You’ll donate the money, and we’ll send you the gifts.00:13:57
Back at that Frankfurt auction, the highest bid was €1,000,
if memory serves. 00:14:02
Soon I’ll reveal the highest bid in our today’s auction.
A shout-out to Arkady Mamontov. 00:14:06
See you tomorrow!Description:
