This rhetoric disturbs many independent broadcasters, especially when directed at the Kremlin's domestic opponents. Vadim Vostrov , of the regional station TVK, has compared Mr Kiselev's broadcasts to the compulsory "two minutes of hate" in George Orwell's novel 1984. "The comrades are still some way from the original, but are moving in the right direction," he said of Rossiya 1. Opposition campaigners have called for state anchors to be prosecuted on charges of inciting hatred, so far to no avail. Dmitry Kiselev himself is unrepentant. "I now understand that there is no place for disengaged journalism. We have to create values," he told liberal website Lenta.ru
