2
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,520
<font color="#ffffff">Before this story</font>
<font color="#ffffff">takes its course,</font>

3
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,320
<font color="#ffffff">I worked for an independent</font>
<font color="#ffffff">television station for over 15 years.</font>

4
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,960
<font color="#ffffff">I was responsible for news</font>
<font color="#ffffff">and political talk shows.</font>

5
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,920
<font color="#ffffff">I retreat to this house</font>

6
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,600
<font color="#ffffff">after all independent</font>
<font color="#ffffff">channels in Russia were eliminated.</font>

7
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,120
<font color="#ffffff">There I work for several months</font>
<font color="#ffffff">on a new business idea.</font>

8
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,480
<font color="#ffffff">* Putin! Putin! *</font>

9
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,440
<font color="#00ffff">Are you cold?</font>

10
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,000
<font color="#00ffff">I just need one more minute!</font>

11
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,480
<font color="#00ffff">All polling stations at</font>
<font color="#00ffff">today's presidential elections</font>

12
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,240
<font color="#00ffff">are now closed.</font>

13
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,840
<font color="#00ffff">Our candidate, Dmitri Medvedev,</font>
<font color="#00ffff">is clearly leading.</font>

14
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,760
<font color="#ffffff">* Cheers *</font>

15
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,400
<font color="#ffffff">In 2008, it still looks like</font>

16
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,720
<font color="#ffffff">new ideas can be implemented</font>
<font color="#ffffff">unhindered in Russia.</font>

17
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,600
<font color="#ffffff">Natascha Sindeewa</font>
<font color="#ffffff">is the proud owner</font>

18
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,720
<font color="#ffffff">of the white villa</font>
<font color="#ffffff">and this pink car.</font>

19
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,280
<font color="#ffffff">For her, every new path</font>
<font color="#ffffff">means a new adventure.</font>

20
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,640
<font color="#ffffff">Every new adventure</font>
<font color="#ffffff">justifies new parties.</font>

21
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,640
<font color="#ffffff">The top manager</font>
<font color="#ffffff">of a Moscow music radio station,</font>

22
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,040
<font color="#ffffff">Natascha, becomes the It girl</font>
<font color="#ffffff">and THE dance queen of the capital.</font>

23
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,240
<font color="#ffff00">To hell with modesty -</font>

24
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,160
<font color="#ffff00">today I will sing</font>
<font color="#ffff00">and dance here.</font>

25
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,160
<font color="#ffff00">Clear the stage.</font>

26
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,760
<font color="#ffff00">I'm going to get on your nerves.</font>

27
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,520
<font color="#ffff00">Today's celebration</font>
<font color="#ffff00">is dedicated to me,</font>

28
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,520
<font color="#ffff00">Natascha Sindeewa.</font>

29
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,880
<font color="#ffffff">Natascha has big dreams.</font>

30
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,120
<font color="#ffffff">She also dreams of</font>
<font color="#ffffff">her future husband.</font>

31
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,800
<font color="#ffffff">More precisely:</font>
<font color="#ffffff">a fabulously rich prince.</font>

32
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,880
<font color="#ffff00">I see it like today</font>
<font color="#ffff00">before my eyes:</font>

33
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:09,240
<font color="#ffff00">When I fell asleep, I thought</font>
<font color="#ffff00">to myself, as great as I am,</font>

34
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,840
<font color="#ffff00">I deserve a prince</font>
<font color="#ffff00">who loves me, adores me.</font>

35
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:16,680
<font color="#ffff00">Who gives me flowers,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">also attractive and tall,</font>

36
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,560
<font color="#ffff00">at the same time strong in</font>
<font color="#ffff00">character and unique. </font>

37
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:22,480
<font color="#ffff00">I practically painted</font>
<font color="#ffff00">Sascha in my dream.</font>

38
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,520
<font color="#ffffff">♪ Waltz music ♪</font>

39
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,240
<font color="#ffffff">So they also celebrate</font>
<font color="#ffffff">a truly royal wedding</font>

40
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,040
<font color="#ffffff">in the Russian Versailles,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">the St. Petersburg Peterhof.</font>

41
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,840
<font color="#ffffff">There Natascha dances</font>

42
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,160
<font color="#ffffff">alongside</font>
<font color="#ffffff">world-famous ballerinas.</font>

43
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,400
<font color="#ffffff">Not only this marriage</font>
<font color="#ffffff">is new at the time,</font>

44
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,680
<font color="#ffffff">but also the president -</font>
<font color="#ffffff">Dmitri Medvedev.</font>

45
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,640
<font color="#ffffff">Similar to Natascha,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">he also sees the world</font>

46
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,280
<font color="#ffffff">through rose-colored</font>
<font color="#ffffff">or even pink glasses.</font>

47
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,280
<font color="#ffffff">At his side, however,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">is a Tsar and not a prince.</font>

48
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,600
<font color="#00ff00">Medvedev was once asked</font>
<font color="#00ff00">what the most important thing</font>
<font color="#00ff00">in life was.</font>

49
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,520
<font color="#00ff00">He answered: love.</font>

50
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:28,040
<font color="#00ff00">Seriously:</font>

51
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,360
<font color="#00ff00">A country whose president</font>
<font color="#00ff00">claims love is key, is a dream.</font>

52
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,440
<font color="#00ff00">He enjoyed the spotlight,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">iPhones, iPads,</font>

53
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,240
<font color="#00ff00">the meetings with</font>
<font color="#00ff00">big US politicians, and so on.</font>

54
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,640
<font color="#ffffff">Can I help you?</font>
<font color="#00ffff">No, this is on me!</font>

55
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,440
<font color="#00ff00">He played the nice guy.</font>

56
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,160
<font color="#00ffff">My principle is:</font>
<font color="#00ffff">Freedom is better than non-.</font>

57
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:56,000
<font color="#00ffff">That's the quintessence</font>
<font color="#00ffff">of human history.</font>

58
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,480
<font color="#00ff00">It sounds naive.</font>

59
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,200
<font color="#00ff00">During these shots,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">I had tears in my eyes.</font>

60
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:04,280
<font color="#00ff00">Like, look, Americans,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">this is our new president.</font>

61
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,080
<font color="#ffff00">Politics passed me by then,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">I wasn't interested at all.</font>

62
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,680
<font color="#ffff00">We never went to elections.</font>

63
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:16,960
<font color="#00ff00">The economy</font>
<font color="#00ff00">grew like a dung heap.</font>

64
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,000
<font color="#00ff00">We felt like</font>
<font color="#00ff00">nothing was impossible.</font>

65
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,800
<font color="#00ff00">It could only get better.</font>

66
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,800
<font color="#ffffff">In the Russian boom</font>
<font color="#ffffff">of the early 2000s</font>

67
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,720
<font color="#ffffff">Sascha had made a fortune.</font>

68
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,240
<font color="#ffffff">With that he can certainly</font>
<font color="#ffffff">finance a crazy idea.</font>

69
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,560
<font color="#ffffff">Because Natasha has one:</font>

70
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,960
<font color="#ffffff">To create her very own</font>
<font color="#ffffff">television empire.</font>

71
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,360
<font color="#ffffff">That's where I first come in.</font>
<font color="#ffffff">May I introduce myself?</font>

72
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,800
<font color="#ffffff">Everything starts here,</font>

73
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,240
<font color="#ffffff">in one of the most expensive</font>
<font color="#ffffff">properties in Moscow.</font>

74
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,920
<font color="#ffffff">Natasha loves the view.</font>

75
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,120
<font color="#00ff00">I remember Natasha's words</font>
<font color="#00ff00">like it was yesterday.</font>

76
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:12,160
<font color="#00ff00">Why is there no TV channel</font>
<font color="#00ff00">for the average citizen?</font>

77
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,600
<font color="#00ff00">It started so simply.</font>

78
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,200
<font color="#ffff00">What's the date today?</font>

79
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,720
<font color="#ffff00">Today is the 30th, no,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">the 31st of July 2008.</font>

80
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,640
<font color="#ffff00">We lay the foundation</font>
<font color="#ffff00">for building our station.</font>

81
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:32,240
<font color="#00ff00">That was American dream</font>
<font color="#00ff00">and start-up in one.</font>

82
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,240
<font color="#00ff00">Oh, we don't have</font>
<font color="#00ff00">a business plan yet?</font>

83
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,040
<font color="#00ff00">Doesn't matter, we'll write it</font>
<font color="#00ff00">later.</font>

84
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,720
<font color="#00ff00">That's how it was back then.</font>

85
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,120
<font color="#ffffff">Natasha not only has big</font>
<font color="#ffffff">dreams, but also a name</font>

86
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,920
<font color="#ffffff">and a color</font>
<font color="#ffffff">for her channel's logo.</font>

87
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,680
<font color="#ffffff">Awful.</font>

88
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,040
<font color="#ffffff">But shortly thereafter,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">fate strikes.</font>

89
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,160
<font color="#ffffff">Sascha's banking business</font>
<font color="#ffffff">falls victim to the crisis.</font>

90
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,040
<font color="#ffffff">So we crash down</font>
<font color="#ffffff">to reality.</font>

91
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,760
<font color="#ffffff">And from the noble</font>
<font color="#ffffff">we go to the slum,</font>

92
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,000
<font color="#ffffff">into the cheapest building,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">the "Red October."</font>

93
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,400
<font color="#ffffff">A former chocolate factory,</font>

94
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,920
<font color="#ffffff">named after</font>
<font color="#ffffff">the October Revolution.</font>

95
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,840
<font color="#ffffff">Our floor</font>
<font color="#ffffff">smells of caramel.</font>

96
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,040
<font color="#ffffff">And rats.</font>

97
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,960
<font color="#ffff00">Fantastic - the pillars.</font>

98
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,040
<font color="#ffff00">The geometry, the windows.</font>

99
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,120
<font color="#ffff00">We'll put the sofas here, right?</font>
<font color="#ffffff">That's what I thought, too.</font>

101
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,160
<font color="#ffff00">Soon we'll have a channel</font>
<font color="#ffff00">and everything will be fine.</font>

102
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,800
<font color="#ffffff">For us, the focus is on</font>
<font color="#ffffff">the unvarnished truth,</font>

103
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,800
<font color="#ffffff">the closeness to life.</font>

104
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,280
<font color="#ffffff">We will broadcast news</font>
<font color="#ffffff">in a reality show style</font>

105
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,720
<font color="#ffffff">and present all those</font>
<font color="#ffffff">involved as authentically as possible.</font>

106
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,440
<font color="#ffffff">We show life as it is.</font>

107
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,120
<font color="#00ff00">I come in and see Natascha.</font>

108
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,520
<font color="#00ff00">She's sitting at her desk.</font>

109
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,440
<font color="#00ff00">A little later,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">a young lady comes in</font>

110
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,560
<font color="#00ff00">and hands Natascha a bundle.</font>

111
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,640
<font color="#00ff00">She unpacks from it</font>
<font color="#00ff00">a wonderful baby.</font>

112
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,400
<font color="#00ff00">Without a moment's hesitation,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">she starts breastfeeding it.</font>

113
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,360
<font color="#00ff00">From then on, it became clear</font>
<font color="#00ff00">to me that it's a crazy team.</font>

114
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,360
<font color="#00ff00">Great!</font>

115
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,880
<font color="#ffff00">Yes, Ksenia...</font>

116
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,240
<font color="#00ffff">When I first met Sindeewa,</font>

117
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,600
<font color="#00ffff">she made a consistently</font>
<font color="#00ffff">positive impression on me.</font>

118
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:04,000
<font color="#00ffff">She was dressed all in purple.</font>

119
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,040
<font color="#00ffff">Her boots, leggings, top -</font>
<font color="#00ffff">bright purple.</font>

120
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,960
<font color="#00ffff">She wore a ring on her finger</font>
<font color="#00ffff">with a huge stone.</font>

121
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,760
<font color="#00ffff">The first impression</font>
<font color="#00ffff">was simply stunning.</font>

122
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,320
<font color="#ffff00">Lights were burning everywhere -</font>

123
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,680
<font color="#ffff00">above the tables</font>
<font color="#ffff00">and the news desk.</font>

124
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,560
<font color="#ffff00">From a distance it looked</font>
<font color="#ffff00">like an operating room.</font>

125
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,560
<font color="#ffff00">Everything was</font>
<font color="#ffff00">bathed in very bright light.</font>

126
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,560
<font color="#ffff00">It was pure chaos.</font>

127
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,720
<font color="#ffff00">Some are sitting at the table,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">others are running around,</font>

128
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,400
<font color="#ffff00">the cameras record everything,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">all the screens are lit up.</font>

129
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,840
<font color="#ffff00">Wera shouts something from the</font>
<font color="#ffff00">control desk and gives orders.</font>

130
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,680
<font color="#ffffff">Thanks,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">I'll be right with you.</font>

131
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,400
<font color="#ffffff">Just one more run-through.</font>

132
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,240
<font color="#ffffff">Who was behind</font>
<font color="#ffffff">the second camera again?</font>

133
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,360
<font color="#ffff00">The channel will be a success.</font>

134
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,840
<font color="#ffff00">With or without a scarf?</font>

135
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,840
<font color="#ffffff">"Dozhd" means rain in Russian.</font>

136
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,800

00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,560
<font color="#ffffff">God alone knows</font>
<font color="#ffffff">how she came up with this name.</font>

138
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,160
<font color="#ffff00">The summer rain full of rainbows</font>
<font color="#ffff00">awakens the desire</font>

139
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,440
<font color="#ffff00">to dance barefoot.</font>

140
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:14,880
<font color="#ffffff">A much more fitting name</font>
<font color="#ffffff">for this channel would definitely be:</font>

141
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,280
<font color="#ffffff">The Adventure Channel.</font>

142
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,880
<font color="#ffff00">For me, rain stands</font>
<font color="#ffff00">for an adventure.</font>

143
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,960
<font color="#ffff00">Dozhd, Optimistic Channel, Hurray!</font>

144
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,160
<font color="#ffffff">* Cheers *</font>

145
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,520
<font color="#00ff00">You are watching Dozhd.</font>
<font color="#00ffff">Optimistic Channel.</font>

146
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,200

<font color="#00ff00">You can see us!</font>

148
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,040
<font color="#00ff00">We will celebrate it big</font>
<font color="#00ff00">and are very happy.</font>

149
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,280
<font color="#00ffff">When my mother saw me</font>
<font color="#00ffff">on television,</font>

150
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,040
<font color="#00ffff">she could hardly believe it.</font>

151
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,280
<font color="#ffff00">Could you check,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">if the sparkling wine is cold?</font>

152
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,280
<font color="#ffffff">The first broadcasts</font>
<font color="#ffffff">were absolutely awful,</font>

153
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,200
<font color="#ffffff">totally amateurish, amateur.</font>

154
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,120
<font color="#00ff00">I look at Tanya first</font>
<font color="#00ff00">and then into the camera, right?</font>

155
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,240
<font color="#00ffff">Where do I get in again?</font>

156
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,480
<font color="#00ff00">The show starts with</font>
<font color="#00ff00">clip number one, doesn't it?</font>

157
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,880
<font color="#00ffff">So that was in March.</font>

158
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,880
<font color="#00ff00">But he kept his composure and then...</font>
<font color="#00ff00">That went totally wrong.</font>

159
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,960
<font color="#00ffff">He was caught in Chelyabinsk.</font>

160
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,960
<font color="#00ffff">But not caught.</font>

161
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,760
<font color="#ffffff">I dreaded</font>
<font color="#ffffff">meeting my former colleagues</font>

162
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,600
<font color="#ffffff">from professional TV stations.</font>

163
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,720
<font color="#00ff00">Now I ask everyone,</font>

164
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,000
<font color="#00ff00">who was involved in Dozhd's</font>

165
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,960
<font color="#00ff00">So that you can all be seen!</font>

166
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,320
<font color="#ffffff">We became</font>
<font color="#ffffff">the joke of the entire industry.</font>

167
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,120
<font color="#ffffff">But Natasha was thrilled.</font>

168
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:18,520
<font color="#ffffff">And the parties I hated</font>
<font color="#ffffff">were great from the start.</font>

<font color="#ffffff">Who is protesting now?</font>

186
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,000
<font color="#00ff00">When I came to Dozhd,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">I immediately had the feeling</font>

<font color="#00ff00">He spoke rudely to me.</font>

245
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,400
<font color="#00ff00">I read in his expression</font>

00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,960
<font color="#00ff00">that he has a second reign</font>
<font color="#00ff00">in his sights.</font>

<font color="#ffffff">This episode was never aired.</font>

248
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,880
<font color="#ffff00">I cut the episode</font>

249
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,760
<font color="#ffff00">That was</font>

00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,400
<font color="#ffff00">There were no protests</font>

251
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,400
<font color="#ffff00">Nobody instructed us</font>
<font color="#ffff00">not to air the episode.</font>

252
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,400
<font color="#ffff00">I decided that myself</font>
<font color="#ffff00">because I believe that </font>

253
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,520
<font color="#ffff00">this poem crosses the lines</font>

<font color="#ffff00">And violates personal rights.</font>

255
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,120
<font color="#ffff00">Therefore, it seemed impossible</font>
<font color="#ffff00">to me to air it.</font>

256
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,400
<font color="#ffffff">On social media,</font>

258
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,280

00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,160
<font color="#ffffff">and the opposition shuts out Dozhd.</font>

260
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,800
<font color="#ffffff">For me, that was pure self-</font>
<font color="#ffffff">censorship.</font>

261
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,000
<font color="#ffffff">Two weeks later,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">I received the news:</font>

262
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,040
<font color="#ffffff">Outgoing President Medvedev</font>

263
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:22,720
<font color="#ffffff">wants to pay a visit</font>
<font color="#ffffff">to our miserable channel.</font>

264
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,560
<font color="#ffffff">That's when I realized</font>

265
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,720
<font color="#ffffff">that our independence</font>
<font color="#ffffff">was over.</font>

266
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,520
<font color="#ffffff">While Natascha</font>
<font color="#ffffff">was busy preparing,</font>

267
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,440
<font color="#ffffff">the fairy tale ended for me.</font>

268
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,800
<font color="#ffffff">I resigned.</font>

269
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,000
<font color="#ffffff">* Fanfare *</font>

270
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,480
<font color="#ffff00">Dmitri Anatolyevich,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">welcome to the Optimistic Channel.</font>

271
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,080
<font color="#ffff00">In two days we will celebrate</font>
<font color="#ffff00">our first birthday.</font>
<font color="#00ff00"> Not bad!</font>

272
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,240
<font color="#ffff00">We've been so busy</font>
<font color="#ffff00">that the President is visiting.</font>

273
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,480
<font color="#ffff00">We are extremely happy about</font>
<font color="#ffff00">that.</font>

274
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,720
<font color="#ffff00">In the beginning, there was</font>
<font color="#ffff00">the idea, since we had little.</font>

275
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,960
<font color="#00ff00">How expensive was this?</font>
<font color="#ffff00">How much did it cost?</font>

276
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:04,600
<font color="#00ff00">Pure curiosity.</font>
<font color="#ffff00"> Eight million.</font>
<font color="#00ff00">Pretty cheap.</font>
<font color="#ffff00"> Definitely.</font>

277
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,040
<font color="#00ff00">You have found your niche</font>
<font color="#00ff00">and are a social phenomenon.</font>

278
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,200
<font color="#00ff00">That can also be seen</font>
<font color="#00ff00">in your considerable ratings.</font>

279
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,480
<font color="#ffff00">They are not high enough,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">Dmitri Anatolyevich.</font>

280
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,880
<font color="#00ff00">That will change.</font>
<font color="#ffff00"> Thank you very much.</font>
<font color="#00ff00">If that's not advertising.</font>

281
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,840
<font color="#00ffff">How badly he talked about</font>
<font color="#00ffff">state news channels. </font>

282
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,240
<font color="#00ffff">Phenomenal.</font>

283
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,520
<font color="#ffff00">Our work has paid off -</font>
<font color="#ffff00">I thank everyone!</font>
<font color="#ffffff"> * Cheers *</font>

284
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,120
<font color="#00ff00">At first, everyone felt</font>
<font color="#00ff00">like they had done a great job.</font>

285
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,800
<font color="#00ff00">But then I noticed</font>

286
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,560
<font color="#00ff00">how colleagues were</font>
<font color="#00ff00">crying in front of computers.</font>

287
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,400
<font color="#00ff00">Vera resigned,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">and we became traitors.</font>

288
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,280
<font color="#00ff00">We had the feeling</font>
<font color="#00ff00">that Natascha censored the</font>

289
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:14,800
<font color="#00ff00">episode with the sensitive</font>
<font color="#00ff00">verse so Medvedev would come.</font>

290
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,480
<font color="#ffff00">♪ Swing music with vocals ♪</font>

291
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,520
<font color="#00ff00">But that wasn't the case.</font>

292
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:38,840
<font color="#ffff00">The more power we get,</font>

293
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,280
<font color="#ffff00">the more accusations</font>
<font color="#ffff00">we will be confronted with.</font>

294
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:45,880
<font color="#ffff00">That shows</font>
<font color="#ffff00">that we are doing everything</font>

295
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,040
<font color="#ffff00">right.</font>
<font color="#ffff00">I hope you see it that way too.</font>

296
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,960
<font color="#ffff00">Happy Birthday.</font>

297
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,320
<font color="#ffffff">* Cheers *</font>

298
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:56,280
<font color="#00ff00">Natascha, what did you</font>
<font color="#00ff00">whisper to Medvedev</font>

299
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,560
<font color="#00ff00">when he wrote the</font>
<font color="#00ff00">congratulations on the window?</font>

300
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,200
<font color="#ffff00">"You are insanely cool.</font>

301
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,080
<font color="#ffff00">"You have nothing to fear</font>
<font color="#ffff00">in the elections."</font>

302
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,400
<font color="#ffffff">* Ringing *</font>

303
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,960
<font color="#ffffff">* Cheerful music and laughter *</font>

304
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,520
<font color="#ffff00">Anna is the winner</font>
<font color="#ffff00">of two concert tickets</font>

305
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:27,200
<font color="#ffff00">for the U2 concert on July 20</font>
<font color="#ffff00">in New York and two plane tickets.</font>

306
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,640
<font color="#ffff00">Production management pays off, Anna.</font>
<font color="#ffff00">You'll also get help with a visa.</font>

307
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,920
<font color="#ffffff">* Booming cheer *</font>

308
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,440
<font color="#00ff00">I would welcome it:</font>

309
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,000
<font color="#00ff00">If Parliament nominates</font>
<font color="#00ff00">the party leader, Putin,</font>

310
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,520
<font color="#00ff00">in the presidential election</font>
<font color="#00ff00">would support.</font>

311
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,960
<font color="#ffff00">Now it's going to get bad.</font>

312
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,440
<font color="#ffff00">Thaw and modernization,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">which Medvedev stood for,</font>

313
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,640
<font color="#ffff00">seem to be over -</font>
<font color="#ffff00">it could get tight for us.</font>

314
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,440
<font color="#00ffff">Are we part of an experiment</font>

315
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,280
<font color="#00ffff">that takes us into the</font>
<font color="#00ffff">past?</font>

316
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:22,320
<font color="#00ffff">Do we have to endure another</font>
<font color="#00ffff">twelve years of unbearable standstill?</font>

317
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,920
<font color="#00ff00">We had the naive hope</font>

318
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,720
<font color="#00ff00">to gradually and peacefully</font>
<font color="#00ff00">move in a good direction.</font>

319
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,240
<font color="#00ff00">That turned out</font>
<font color="#00ff00">to be unrealistic.</font>

320
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,440
<font color="#00ff00">That hurt us and our friends</font>
<font color="#00ff00">very much.</font>

321
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,360
<font color="#00ffff">November 2011.</font>

322
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:56,880
<font color="#00ffff">The parliamentary elections</font>
<font color="#00ffff">are just around the corner.</font>

323
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,160
<font color="#00ffff">There doesn't seem</font>
<font color="#00ffff">to be a campaign.</font>

324
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,600
<font color="#00ffff">The only way out would be</font>
<font color="#00ffff">to get as many employees</font>

325
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,320
<font color="#00ffff">into the electoral commission</font>
<font color="#00ffff">as representatives of various parties.</font>

326
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:13,320
<font color="#ffff00">We just voted,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">and my appeal is:</font>

327
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,040
<font color="#ffff00">Go vote,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">a lot depends on it.</font>

328
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:23,560
<font color="#00ffff">Mischa, the following:</font>

329
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:31,960
<font color="#00ffff">An urn was opened</font>
<font color="#00ffff">before my eyes.</font>

330
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,880
<font color="#00ffff">It contained nine, ten stacks</font>

331
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,960
<font color="#00ffff">of votes for Putin's party</font>
<font color="#00ffff">"United Russia".</font>

332
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,080
<font color="#00ffff">Obviously</font>
<font color="#00ffff">thrown in all at once.</font>

333
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,680
<font color="#00ffff">We found</font>
<font color="#00ffff">three more thick stacks,</font>

334
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,120
<font color="#00ffff">wrapped in other</font>
<font color="#00ffff">ballot papers.</font>

335
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,280
<font color="#00ffff">They couldn't have been</font>
<font color="#00ffff">cast separately by voters.</font>

336
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:52,280
<font color="#00ff00">When I was on my way,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">I felt uneasy.</font>

337
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,360
<font color="#00ff00">The demonstrators</font>
<font color="#00ff00">frightened me.</font>

338
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,800
<font color="#00ff00">But no way!</font>

339
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,080
<font color="#00ff00">Everyone greeted me kindly:</font>
<font color="#00ff00">"Hi, you here too?"</font>

340
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,520
<font color="#00ff00">Unknown people shouted:</font>
<font color="#00ff00">"Look, he's here too!"</font>

341
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,200
<font color="#ffffff">That is pure irony:</font>

342
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,400
<font color="#ffffff">Sascha and I found ourselves</font>
<font color="#ffffff">in the same crowd again.</font>

343
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,480
<font color="#ffffff">While I was making a</font>
<font color="#ffffff">documentary about this protest,</font>

344
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,120
<font color="#ffffff">Sascha wanted</font>
<font color="#ffffff">to expose the election fraud.</font>

345
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,960
<font color="#00ff00">We learned of the arrest</font>
<font color="#00ff00">of our colleague Ilja Wasjunin.</font>

346
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,360
<font color="#00ff00">We are trying</font>
<font color="#00ff00">to reach him by phone.</font>

347
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,560
<font color="#00ff00">He's in the police car,</font>

348
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,280
<font color="#00ff00">and we hope</font>
<font color="#00ff00">to get in touch soon.</font>

349
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,600
<font color="#00ffff">You announce that</font>

350
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,160
<font color="#00ffff">as if it were normal</font>
<font color="#00ffff">to broadcast from a police car.</font>

351
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,280
<font color="#ffffff">* Murmuring and</font>
<font color="#ffffff">loudspeaker announcements *</font>

352
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,320
<font color="#ffff00">At first I thought</font>
<font color="#ffff00">we were running a lifestyle channel</font>

353
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:14,400
<font color="#ffff00">with a cultural</font>
<font color="#ffff00">and intellectual touch.</font>

354
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,840
<font color="#ffff00">Gradually I</font>
<font color="#ffff00">learned with horror,</font>

355
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,560
<font color="#ffff00">how much injustice</font>
<font color="#ffff00">prevails everywhere.</font>

356
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,680
<font color="#ffff00">I didn't even suspect</font>
<font color="#ffff00">it existed before.</font>

357
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,200
<font color="#ffff00">I couldn't</font>
<font color="#ffff00">stand idly by.</font>

358
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,880
<font color="#ffff00">After the protests</font>
<font color="#ffff00">I got an angry call -</font>

359
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,880
<font color="#ffff00">from Aleksey Gromov</font>
<font color="#ffff00">from the Presidential Office.</font>

360
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,720
<font color="#ffff00">"What are you doing?</font>

361
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,200
<font color="#ffff00">You're probably</font>
<font color="#ffff00">cooperating with the US State Dept., right?"</font>

362
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,000
<font color="#ffff00">I replied:</font>

363
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,080
<font color="#ffff00">"I'm not your subject and</font>
<font color="#ffff00">not part of the state media.</font>

364
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,640
<font color="#ffff00">We do what</font>
<font color="#ffff00">we think is right."</font>

365
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,480
<font color="#ffff00">He replied:</font>
<font color="#ffff00">"Then we will destroy you."</font>

366
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,840
<font color="#ffff00">His tone was extremely harsh.</font>

367
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,240
<font color="#00ff00">Putin's re-election</font>
<font color="#00ff00">is demonstrably illegal.</font>

368
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,840
<font color="#00ff00">The capital hasn't seen</font>

369
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:41,600
<font color="#00ff00">so many soldiers</font>
<font color="#00ff00">since the 1993 constitutional crisis.</font>

370
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,800
<font color="#00ffff">That was my first live broadcast</font>
<font color="#00ffff">at the May 6th riots.</font>

371
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,880
<font color="#00ffff">One thing is certain,</font>
<font color="#00ffff">no one is backing down.</font>

372
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,320
<font color="#00ffff">The National Guard is advancing.</font>

373
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,680
<font color="#00ffff">I can't see anything</font>
<font color="#00ffff">anymore, but we hear the screams.</font>

374
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,760
<font color="#00ff00">I have to interrupt you.</font>

375
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,720
<font color="#00ff00">Boris Nemtsov is being arrested</font>
<font color="#00ff00">while speaking to the crowd.</font>

376
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,880
<font color="#00ff00">The transmission will be</font>
<font color="#00ff00">temporarily interrupted.</font>

377
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,960
<font color="#00ffff">No one</font>
<font color="#00ffff">expected any attacks.</font>

378
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,720
<font color="#00ffff">It was a hell of a job back then.</font>

379
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,880
<font color="#00ffff">I had to beg</font>
<font color="#00ffff">internet platforms</font>

380
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,280
<font color="#00ffff">to let us broadcast on them</font>
<font color="#00ffff">if the stream is shut down.</font>

381
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:47,400
<font color="#00ffff">So that the viewers</font>
<font color="#00ffff">can continue to follow us.</font>

00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,120
<font color="#00ff00">loudly criticized in a</font>
<font color="#00ff00">parliamentary session.</font>

504
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,600
<font color="#00ff00">And from Wednesday, Dozhd</font>

505
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,800
<font color="#00ff00">will be terminated by all</font>
<font color="#00ff00">cable TV providers.</font>

506
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,880
<font color="#00ffff">Good afternoon, this is Anna</font>
<font color="#00ffff">Mongajt, I host an online show.</font>

507
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:20,280
<font color="#00ffff">Originally, it was supposed</font>

508
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:21,920
<font color="#00ffff">to be about the Olympic Games</font>
<font color="#00ffff">in Sochi.</font>

509
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000
<font color="#00ffff">Instead, we dedicate this show</font>
<font color="#00ffff">to ourselves for the first time.</font>

510
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,160
<font color="#00ffff">It was supposed to be a show</font>
<font color="#00ffff">with calls to the studio again.</font>

511
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,680
<font color="#00ffff">Can you hear me?</font>

512
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:36,800
<font color="#00ffff">In the beginning, everything</font>
<font color="#00ffff">went well, in the end we were</font>
<font color="#00ffff">not visible on any channel.</font>

513
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:44,240
<font color="#ffff00">After a short break, we will</font>
<font color="#ffff00">report who blocked Dozhd.</font>

514
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,200
<font color="#ffffff">For the first time since I</font>
<font color="#ffffff">left Dozhd,</font>

515
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,320
<font color="#ffffff">I call Natascha that night.</font>

516
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,160
<font color="#ffffff">Sascha answers the phone.</font>

517
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,560
<font color="#ffffff">They are holding a nightly</font>
<font color="#ffffff">emergency conference</font>

518
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,480
<font color="#ffffff">with the newsroom at their</font>
<font color="#ffffff">home.</font>

519
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,640
<font color="#ffffff">Natascha smokes in silence.</font>

520
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:17,640
<font color="#ffffff">In one day, she loses</font>
<font color="#ffffff">80% of the viewers</font>

521
00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:20,760
<font color="#ffffff">and almost all advertising</font>
<font color="#ffffff">partners.</font>

522
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,720
<font color="#ffffff">We decide not to give up and</font>
<font color="#ffffff">continue together -</font>

523
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,560
<font color="#ffffff">as if I had never left.</font>

524
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,640
<font color="#00ffff">What is going on here?</font>
<font color="#00ffff">Why now of all times?</font>

525
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,400
<font color="#ffff00">They needed a reason, we</font>
<font color="#ffff00">served it.</font>

526
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,720
<font color="#ffff00">In private, not in writing,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">all providers told us:</font>

527
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,320
<font color="#ffff00">They had</font>
<font color="#ffff00">received an injunction</font>

528
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,720
<font color="#ffff00">to immediately terminate</font>
<font color="#ffff00">the contract with us.</font>

529
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,040
<font color="#ffff00">For technical, ideological</font>

530
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,360
<font color="#ffff00">commercial or contractual</font>
<font color="#ffff00">reasons.</font>

531
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,280
<font color="#ffff00">All providers confirmed this</font>
<font color="#ffff00">in private.</font>

532
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,920
<font color="#00ffff">Dozhd is an exciting channel</font>
<font color="#00ffff">with a good young team.</font>

533
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:10,800
<font color="#00ffff">But as mentioned before, there</font>
<font color="#00ffff">were serious mistakes</font>

534
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,680
<font color="#00ffff">that have humiliated many of</font>
<font color="#00ffff">our citizens.</font>

535
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,680
<font color="#00ffff">You have to stand by that</font>

536
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,560
<font color="#00ffff">and see how you deal with</font>
<font color="#00ffff">the situation.</font>

537
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,920
<font color="#ffff00">Welcome to the press</font>
<font color="#ffff00">conference with CEO Sindeeva</font>

538
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,960
<font color="#ffff00">and the owner of Dozhd,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">Aleksander Winokurow.</font>

539
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,400
<font color="#00ffff">Natascha looked miserable,</font>
<font color="#00ffff">she was devastated and pale.</font>

540
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,040
<font color="#00ffff">You could see how worn out</font>
<font color="#00ffff">she was.</font>

541
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,600
<font color="#00ffff">She sacrificed her strength and</font>
<font color="#00ffff">Sascha's money for something</font>

542
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,600
<font color="#00ffff">that was about to collapse.</font>

543
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,520
<font color="#00ffff">Which also affected their</font>
<font color="#00ffff">relationship.</font>

544
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,160
<font color="#00ffff">She dragged herself to work</font>
<font color="#00ffff">and looked like a grieving widow.</font>

545
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,680
<font color="#00ff00">Arkady Ostrovsky, The</font>
<font color="#00ff00">Economist.</font>

546
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,720
<font color="#00ff00">Do you intend to contact</font>
<font color="#00ff00">Putin?</font>

547
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,080
<font color="#00ff00">Everything suggests that he</font>
<font color="#00ff00">approved the shutdown.</font>

548
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,080
<font color="#ffff00">I assume that I will contact</font>
<font color="#ffff00">him.</font>

549
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:24,160
<font color="#ffff00">I will fight to the end for</font>
<font color="#ffff00">our channel, my life's work.</font>

550
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:28,920
<font color="#ffff00">For the opportunity to</font>
<font color="#ffff00">continue working independently.</font>

551
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,120
<font color="#ffff00">Thank you very much.</font>

552
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,320
<font color="#ffffff">I remember well my earlier</font>
<font color="#ffffff">visits to your house.</font>

553
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,800
<font color="#ffffff">While Sasha grilled steaks,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">Natasha danced around the pool.</font>

554
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,040
<font color="#ffffff">We drank champagne on strawberries</font>

555
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,880
<font color="#ffffff">and dreamed of our future</font>
<font color="#ffffff">while watching television.</font>

556
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,320
<font color="#ffffff">I read excerpts from the Russian</font>
<font color="#ffffff">Human Rights Convention</font>

557
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,320
<font color="#ffffff">on freedoms and quoted</font>
<font color="#ffffff">Harvey Milk:</font>

558
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,400
<font color="#ffffff">"We have to</font>
<font color="#ffffff">fight for our rights!"</font>

559
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,600
<font color="#ffffff">Natasha kept saying:</font>
<font color="#ffffff">"We have nothing to lose."</font>

560
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,040
<font color="#ffffff">We were so naive.</font>

561
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,480
<font color="#00ff00">At the first opportunity,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">we sold our house</font>

562
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,200
<font color="#00ff00">and put the money into the channel.</font>

563
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,840
<font color="#00ff00">A little later, we sold</font>
<font color="#00ff00">even more properties.</font>

564
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,520
<font color="#ffff00">What happened then led Sasha</font>
<font color="#ffff00">to be in a dead end.</font>

565
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:44,520
<font color="#ffff00">It became a kind of addiction</font>
<font color="#ffff00">to be the owner of Dozhd.</font>

566
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,400
<font color="#00ff00">Then came the point,</font>

567
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,440
<font color="#00ff00">where we would soon have nothing</font>
<font color="#00ff00">left to live on.</font>

568
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,680
<font color="#00ff00">But then we tightened</font>
<font color="#00ff00">our belts.</font>

569
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,720
<font color="#00ff00">And that even felt good.</font>

570
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,400
<font color="#ffffff">♪ Melancholy Melody ♪</font>

571
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,520
<font color="#ffff00">My commitment to the station had</font>
<font color="#ffff00">a tragic consequence for Sasha:</font>

572
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:27,240
<font color="#ffff00">I was lost to him.</font>

573
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,920
<font color="#00ff00">Anton Shelkov from Dozhd.</font>

574
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,560
<font color="#00ff00">All cable and digital</font>
<font color="#00ff00">television providers say</font>

575
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,920
<font color="#00ff00">they can't do anything for us</font>
<font color="#00ff00">until they get the go-ahead.</font>

576
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,520
<font color="#00ffff">They're obviously lying.</font>

577
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:50,680
<font color="#00ffff">Do I own cable providers</font>
<font color="#00ffff">and the advertising industry?</font>

578
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,840
<font color="#00ff00">They don't name names, just say</font>
<font color="#00ff00">there's no okay from above.</font>

579
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,040
<font color="#00ff00">Who could that be?</font>
<font color="#00ffff">I don't know.</font>

580
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,480
<font color="#00ffff">I never gave the order</font>

581
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,880
<font color="#00ffff">to end cooperation</font>
<font color="#00ffff">with you.</font>

582
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,760
<font color="#00ffff">It's not in my power either</font>
<font color="#00ffff">- it's your partners.</font>

583
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,800
<font color="#00ffff">- it's your partners.</font>

584
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,400
<font color="#ffff00">I announce the following balance:</font>

585
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:16,320
<font color="#ffff00">We only have a month left</font>
<font color="#ffff00">until we have to close.</font>

586
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,880
<font color="#ffff00">There is only one glimmer of hope:</font>

587
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,760
<font color="#ffff00">I'm meeting with all</font>
<font color="#ffff00">the employees today</font>

588
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,240
<font color="#ffff00">and will ask them to drastically</font>
<font color="#ffff00">save on expenses and salaries.</font>

589
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:32,160
<font color="#ffff00">Then we would have a chance to</font>
<font color="#ffff00">last two, maybe three months.</font>

590
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:37,240
<font color="#ffff00">It doesn't look as rosy</font>
<font color="#ffff00">as we would like it to.</font>

591
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,920
<font color="#00ffff">It's a sensitive issue for us.</font>

592
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,840
<font color="#00ffff">We decided on</font>
<font color="#00ffff">an unpopular measure:</font>

593
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,920
<font color="#00ffff">Dozhd charges fees.</font>

594
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,520
<font color="#00ff00">Viewers pay, in return we get</font>
<font color="#00ff00">freedom and independence.</font>

595
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:09,120
<font color="#00ff00">Especially the popular live</font>
<font color="#00ff00">shows will be charged.</font>

596
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:13,400
<font color="#00ff00">But it's about</font>
<font color="#00ff00">reasonable amounts.</font>

597
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,200
<font color="#00ffff">That's currently the</font>
<font color="#00ffff">only effective way</font>

598
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,080
<font color="#00ffff">to stay independent</font>
<font color="#00ffff">and survive.</font>

599
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,880
<font color="#00ffff">If you are on our side,</font>

600
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:27,520
<font color="#00ffff">please pull together</font>
<font color="#00ffff">with us.</font>

601
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,160
<font color="#00ffff">Are we going on air or not?</font>
<font color="#00ffff">Give it here!</font>

602
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,840
<font color="#ffffff">* Five. *</font>

603
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,280
<font color="#ffffff">* Four. Three. *</font>

604
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:38,440
<font color="#ffffff">* Two. *</font>

605
00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:39,720
<font color="#00ffff">280 passengers and 15 crew members</font>
<font color="#00ffff">are among the victims</font>

606
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,600
<font color="#00ffff">of the Boeing 777 crashed</font>
<font color="#00ffff">near Donetsk.</font>

607
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,400
<font color="#00ffff">On the way from Amsterdam</font>
<font color="#00ffff">to Kuala Lumpur</font>

608
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,480
<font color="#00ffff">it crashed near the current</font>
<font color="#00ffff">fighting.</font>

609
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,600
<font color="#ffff00">Shortly before the crash</font>
<font color="#ffff00">of the Malaysian Boeing</font>

610
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,840
<font color="#ffff00">witnesses claim</font>
<font color="#ffff00">to have seen a fighter jet.</font>

611
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,760
<font color="#00ff00">Why was the Ukrainian fighter jet</font>
<font color="#00ff00">near the passenger plane?</font>

612
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:06,280
<font color="#00ff00">How did the Boeing crash?</font>

613
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,800
<font color="#ffff00">A breaking news:</font>

614
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:10,920
<font color="#ffff00">Target of the missile</font>
<font color="#ffff00">that hit the Boeing,</font>

615
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,360
<font color="#ffff00">was the private jet</font>
<font color="#ffff00">of the Russian president.</font>

616
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,160
<font color="#00ffff">What does Ukraine say about it?</font>

617
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,200
<font color="#ffff00">Putin has the terrorists</font>

618
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,600
<font color="#ffff00">kindly provided Buk</font>
<font color="#ffff00">anti-aircraft missiles.</font>

619
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,680
<font color="#ffff00">That's how this tragedy happened</font>
<font color="#ffff00">today.</font>

620
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,280
<font color="#ffff00">The terrorists have -</font>
<font color="#ffff00">probably unintentionally -</font>

621
00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:32,800
<font color="#ffff00">shot down a passenger plane.</font>

622
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,320
<font color="#00ff00">Natasha was on vacation,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">it was August 2014,</font>

623
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,880
<font color="#00ff00">when the fighting</font>
<font color="#00ff00">in Donbass escalated.</font>

624
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,760
<font color="#00ff00">Soon we heard</font>

625
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,200
<font color="#00ff00">that Russian forces</font>
<font color="#00ff00">were stationed on site.</font>

626
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,720
<font color="#00ff00">I ordered my colleagues</font>
<font color="#00ff00">to call the military registration</font>

627
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,880
<font color="#00ff00">Are Russian soldiers</font>
<font color="#00ff00">among the dead in Donbass?</font>

628
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:03,960
<font color="#00ff00">And if so,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">can we get their names?</font>

629
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,680
<font color="#00ff00">Let's make a list</font>
<font color="#00ff00">of potential interviewees,</font>

630
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:15,040
<font color="#00ff00">then call them</font>
<font color="#00ff00">and invite them.</font>

631
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,760
<font color="#00ffff">When asked</font>
<font color="#00ffff">whether our forces</font>

632
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,920
<font color="#00ffff">are in Ukraine,</font>
<font color="#00ffff">my answer is clear:</font>

633
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,920
<font color="#00ffff">No.</font>

634
00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:29,240
<font color="#00ff00">We received news</font>
<font color="#00ff00">about the mysterious</font>

635
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,480
<font color="#00ff00">disappearance of Russian</font>
<font color="#00ff00">soldiers from some regions</font>

636
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,120
<font color="#00ff00">Our reporters want to find out</font>

637
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,920
<font color="#00ff00">how many soldiers</font>
<font color="#00ff00">are secretly buried.</font>

638
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,440
<font color="#00ffff">Colleagues, greetings.</font>

639
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,440
<font color="#00ffff">My crew and I</font>
<font color="#00ffff">were attacked.</font>

640
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,680
<font color="#00ffff">We had tried to talk to relatives</font>
<font color="#00ffff">of those soldiers</font>

641
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:07,280
<font color="#00ffff">who are being buried</font>
<font color="#00ffff">in Pskov at this moment.</font>

642
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,720
<font color="#ffffff">What now?</font>

643
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:16,080
<font color="#00ffff">Wait! What do they want?</font>

644
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,960
<font color="#ffffff">They're about to smash our camera!</font>

645
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,520
<font color="#00ff00">He should speak plainly!</font>

646
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:28,920
<font color="#ffffff">Tires punctured!</font>

647
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:31,880
<font color="#ffffff">We want to leave,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">but it's not that easy.</font>

648
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,480
<font color="#00ffff">We're leaving soon,</font>
<font color="#00ffff">we're already driving.</font>

649
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,920
<font color="#00ffff">I was asked to come here.</font>

650
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,040
<font color="#00ffff">Wait, please don't!</font>

651
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,480
<font color="#00ffff">Then two figures ran</font>
<font color="#00ffff">after us</font>

652
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,440
<font color="#00ffff">and threatened us:</font>

653
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:48,800
<font color="#00ffff">The area is full of swamps.</font>

654
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,960
<font color="#00ffff">If we do more interviews,</font>
<font color="#00ffff">we will disappear.</font>

655
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,240
<font color="#00ff00">After her vacation,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">Natasha came to me and said:</font>

656
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,320
<font color="#00ff00">"Am I imagining things or</font>
<font color="#00ff00">is a black car following me?"</font>

657
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,760
<font color="#00ff00">I said: "I hardly think</font>
<font color="#00ff00">you're imagining it." </font>

658
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:10,160
<font color="#00ff00">She asked: "Why?".</font>
<font color="#00ff00">And I replied: "Just look!"</font>

659
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,200
<font color="#ffff00">The Ukrainian anti-terror unit</font>
<font color="#ffff00">released videos today:</font>

660
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,800
<font color="#ffff00">Interrogations</font>
<font color="#ffff00">of four Russian soldiers,</font>

661
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,720
<font color="#ffff00">who are in the Donetsk region</font>
<font color="#ffff00">are imprisoned.</font>

662
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,800
<font color="#00ffff">I am Timur Olevsky from Dozhd.</font>

663
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,640
<font color="#00ffff">I was authorized</font>
<font color="#00ffff">to speak with you.</font>

664
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:34,720
<font color="#00ffff">When did you realize</font>
<font color="#00ffff">who was behind the arrests?</font>

665
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,680
<font color="#ffff00">After the arrest</font>
<font color="#ffff00">we were told</font>

666
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,320
<font color="#ffff00">that we were</font>
<font color="#ffff00">on Ukrainian soil.</font>

667
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,560
<font color="#ffff00">And that we are captured.</font>

668
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,200
<font color="#00ff00">The number of our subscribers</font>

669
00:48:53,240 --> 00:48:55,160
<font color="#00ff00">jumped in four days</font>
<font color="#00ff00">from 15,000 to 50,000.</font>

670
00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:59,040
<font color="#00ff00">A month later,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">our office space was evicted.</font>

671
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,000
<font color="#ffff00">We have to do everything</font>
<font color="#ffff00">in our power.</font>

672
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,280
<font color="#ffff00">We're moving on the 15th,</font>

673
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,560
<font color="#ffff00">if necessary into the factory</font>
<font color="#ffff00">rooms here in the house.</font>

674
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:26,520
<font color="#00ff00">At first, the thought</font>
<font color="#00ff00">of moving seemed like a nightmare.</font>

675
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:34,360
<font color="#00ff00">We thought it should never</font>
<font color="#00ff00">come to that,</font>

676
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,240
<font color="#00ff00">that would be our downfall.</font>

677
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,120
<font color="#ffffff">Hello, Natasha.</font>

678
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,120
<font color="#ffffff">So, what's up?</font>

679
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:47,960
<font color="#ffffff">Although I was freelance,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">only sporadically for Dozhd,</font>

680
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,960
<font color="#ffffff">but I always stayed</font>
<font color="#ffffff">in the immediate vicinity.</font>

681
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,120
<font color="#ffffff">At that point I realized</font>

682
00:49:58,240 --> 00:50:00,520
<font color="#ffffff">how much I wanted to contribute</font>
<font color="#ffffff">to Dozhd's survival.</font>

683
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,520
<font color="#ffffff">Between my film projects</font>
<font color="#ffffff">I tried to support Dozhd.</font>

684
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:09,720
<font color="#ffffff">The main goal was to continue</font>
<font color="#ffffff">sending news - no matter what.</font>

685
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,760
<font color="#ffffff">But how?</font>

686
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:16,320
<font color="#ffffff">We couldn't go anywhere.</font>

687
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,560
<font color="#00ffff">Today is Friday, October 31st.</font>

688
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,160
<font color="#00ffff">I, Mikhail Fischman,</font>
<font color="#00ffff">am moderating for the last time</font>

689
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,800
<font color="#00ffff">from the wonderful studio</font>
<font color="#00ffff">of Dozhd.</font>

690
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,440
<font color="#00ffff">I wondered what all the years</font>
<font color="#00ffff">at Dozhd meant to me,</font>

691
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:35,080
<font color="#00ffff">and I realized:</font>

692
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,520
<font color="#00ffff">Dozhd is a serious</font>
<font color="#00ffff">and long-term life's work.</font>

693
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,160
<font color="#00ffff">Why am I here alone?</font>
<font color="#00ffff">Join me, come on!</font>

694
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:45,880
<font color="#00ff00">Is it New Year's Eve already?</font>

695
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:01,640
<font color="#00ff00">An interesting channel!</font>

696
00:51:01,720 --> 00:51:03,520
<font color="#ffff00">Good joke, Schelnow.</font>

697
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,400
<font color="#00ff00">We had non-stop viewings,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">five to six per day.</font>

698
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,920
<font color="#00ff00">One of us was the first</font>
<font color="#00ff00">to come to the viewing.</font>

699
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,520
<font color="#00ff00">Everything was settled,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">size, price and location were right.</font>

700
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,520
<font color="#00ff00">Then the others came and said</font>
<font color="#00ff00">we were from television.</font>

701
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,760
<font color="#00ff00">The landlords then realized</font>
<font color="#00ff00">who we were.</font>

702
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,920
<font color="#00ff00">Two days later, the rejections</font>
<font color="#00ff00">came.</font>

703
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,560
<font color="#00ff00">Natasha was on a US trip.</font>

704
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,440
<font color="#ffff00">I miss you all very much.</font>

705
00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:57,840
<font color="#ffff00">It's very hard for me here.</font>

706
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,280
<font color="#00ffff">It's supposed to be hard abroad.</font>

707
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,160
<font color="#00ffff">Why did you leave instead of</font>
<font color="#00ffff">staying with us?</font>

708
00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:08,600
<font color="#ffff00">In the terrible USA, everything</font>
<font color="#ffff00">is harder.</font>

709
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,000
<font color="#00ffff">Just how they treat</font>
<font color="#00ffff">African Americans!</font>

710
00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:15,520
<font color="#00ff00">Natasha, let's get to the point.</font>

711
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,480
<font color="#00ff00">We all have a tight schedule.</font>

712
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,320
<font color="#ffff00">For the first time,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">I was close to giving up.</font>

713
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,480
<font color="#ffff00">How was I supposed to</font>
<font color="#ffff00">fight this machinery?</font>

714
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,600
<font color="#ffff00">Understandable, right?</font>

715
00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:42,280
<font color="#00ff00">I called her at night:</font>

716
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:49,720
<font color="#00ff00">"There is a property where we</font>
<font color="#00ff00">would be legally untouchable.</font>

717
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:54,000
<font color="#00ff00">We could move in immediately.</font>

718
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,160
<font color="#00ff00">Let them just dare to open</font>
<font color="#00ff00">their mouths."</font>

719
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,400
<font color="#00ff00">Cool view, right?</font>

720
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,160
<font color="#00ff00">And the Patriarch Ponds in the</font>
<font color="#00ff00">back.</font>

721
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,840
<font color="#00ff00">Awesome!</font>

722
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:05,920
<font color="#00ff00">It was Natasha's centrally</font>
<font color="#00ff00">located condo -</font>

723
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,120
<font color="#00ff00">not intended for a family,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">let alone a TV studio.</font>

724
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:19,040
<font color="#00ff00">A bachelor apartment.</font>

725
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:20,960
<font color="#00ff00">We head there with the engineers.</font>

726
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,880
<font color="#ffff00">Mattress - lean it against the</font>
<font color="#ffff00">wall.</font>

727
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,640
<font color="#ffff00">Ready?</font>

728
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:31,440
<font color="#00ff00">In the bedroom I say: We'll put</font>
<font color="#00ff00">the mixing console here.</font>

729
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:38,800
<font color="#ffffff">Under the new Dozhd headquarters</font>
<font color="#ffffff">was a brothel.</font>

730
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:47,520
<font color="#ffffff">The two oldest trades in the</font>
<font color="#ffffff">world are in the heart of Moscow,</font>

731
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:55,960
<font color="#ffffff">in a building owned by the</font>
<font color="#ffffff">Russian Security Ministry.</font>

732
00:53:56,120 --> 00:54:00,760
<font color="#00ff00">Now listen to me carefully:</font>

733
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,480
<font color="#00ff00">Our housing here will be</font>
<font color="#00ff00">discovered.</font>

734
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,800
<font color="#00ff00">At the latest, the third studio</font>
<font color="#00ff00">guest will snitch on us.</font>

735
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,640
<font color="#00ff00">The KGB will know by Tuesday</font>
<font color="#00ff00">at the latest.</font>

736
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,920
<font color="#ffff00">Or they already know.</font>
<font color="#00ff00"> Exactly.</font>
<font color="#00ffff">Probably since yesterday.</font>

737
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,960
<font color="#00ff00">In 15 seconds the title will</font>
<font color="#00ff00">be displayed,</font>

738
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,840
<font color="#00ff00">then look into the right camera.</font>

739
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,120
<font color="#00ff00">Five, four,</font>

740
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:38,760
<font color="#00ff00">three, two.</font>

741
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:40,400
<font color="#00ff00">One - you're on the air.</font>

742
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:42,880
<font color="#ffff00">It's 1:31 PM in Moscow.</font>

743
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,200
<font color="#ffff00">This is Dozhd,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">I'm Maria Makeeva.</font>

744
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,000
<font color="#ffff00">In a cozy atmosphere, over</font>
<font color="#ffff00">a cup of tea,</font>

745
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,920
<font color="#ffff00">I report on the news.</font>

746
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,360
<font color="#ffff00">So let's get started.</font>

747
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:56,800
<font color="#00ff00">Good afternoon.</font>

748
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,000
<font color="#00ffff">Here I am, hello.</font>

749
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:03,960
<font color="#00ffff">Should we do this in my office?</font>

750
00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:06,400
<font color="#00ffff">Isn't it too bright?</font>

751
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,040
<font color="#00ffff">Whatever, you know</font>
<font color="#00ffff">what you're doing.</font>

752
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:10,680
<font color="#00ff00">We were thinking about the</font>
<font color="#00ff00">windowsill.</font>

753
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,680
<font color="#00ffff">Shall we go to Natasha later?</font>

754
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,840
<font color="#00ff00">If you like.</font>

755
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:17,800
<font color="#00ffff">To your hideout.</font>
<font color="#00ff00">If you want, yes.</font>

756
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,080
<font color="#00ff00">Hello.</font>

757
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:23,080
<font color="#00ff00">On the windowsill of the</font>
<font color="#00ff00">Anti-Corruption Foundation</font>

758
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,440
<font color="#00ff00">we are talking to Alexei</font>
<font color="#00ff00">Navalny.</font>

759
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,800
<font color="#00ffff">I am glad to be with you -</font>
<font color="#00ffff">but actually you are with me.</font>

760
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:34,880
<font color="#00ffff">I guess there is no other way.</font>
<font color="#00ff00"> This is how</font>
<font color="#00ff00">the windowsill becomes a studio.</font>
<font color="#00ffff"> Yes.</font>

761
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:39,600
<font color="#ffff00">I felt that there would be a</font>
<font color="#ffff00">provocation.</font>

762
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,280
<font color="#ffff00">We had long been afraid to</font>
<font color="#ffff00">leave the studio in the evening.</font>

763
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:57,280
<font color="#ffff00">Once I had a seventh sense</font>
<font color="#ffff00">and called Forschtreter:</font>

764
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:01,640
<font color="#ffff00">"Close the studio and leave,</font>

765
00:56:01,720 --> 00:56:04,080
<font color="#ffff00">something unpleasant will</font>
<font color="#ffff00">happen today."</font>

766
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,960
<font color="#ffff00">Our door locks were</font>
<font color="#ffff00">filled with tar</font>

767
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,200
<font color="#ffff00">and stuffed with screws.</font>

768
00:56:13,240 --> 00:56:15,360
<font color="#ffff00">We had to hire a</font>
<font color="#ffff00">locksmith,</font>

769
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,720
<font color="#ffff00">who took four hours to</font>
<font color="#ffff00">open the doors.</font>

770
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,320
<font color="#ffff00">We are hardly left</font>
<font color="#ffff00">alone anymore.</font>

771
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,040
<font color="#ffff00">They're after us.</font>

772
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:26,840
<font color="#ffff00">You probably won't have</font>
<font color="#ffff00">any problems at work.</font>

773
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,240
<font color="#ffff00">But it will be tricky in</font>
<font color="#ffff00">your private and political life.</font>

774
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,200
<font color="#ffff00">To a new life!</font>

775
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,400
<font color="#00ff00">Miracles happened again and</font>
<font color="#00ff00">again.</font>

776
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,360
<font color="#00ff00">Our new studio found its</font>
<font color="#00ff00">way to us on its own.</font>

777
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,360
<font color="#00ff00">One day the phone rings:</font>

778
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,800
<font color="#00ff00">"We have a 1000 square</font>
<font color="#00ff00">meter studio for you,</font>

779
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,400
<font color="#00ff00">we stand behind Dozhd."</font>

780
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,280
<font color="#00ff00">"When do you want to see</font>
<font color="#00ff00">it?" I said: "Right now."</font>

781
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:13,160
<font color="#00ff00">Then they said "gladly".</font>

782
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,040
<font color="#00ff00">We did everything ourselves,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">without outside help.</font>

783
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,520
<font color="#00ff00">We carried tables,</font>

784
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,360
<font color="#00ff00">then Sygar came and carried</font>
<font color="#00ff00">in moving boxes.</font>

785
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,440
<font color="#ffff00">It was often rumored that</font>
<font color="#ffff00">we were a sect.</font>

786
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,200
<font color="#ffff00">There was a familiar,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">sect-like atmosphere.</font>

787
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,520
<font color="#ffff00">But it was by no means a</font>
<font color="#ffff00">Natascha-Sindeewa sect,</font>

788
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:54,880
<font color="#ffff00">but rather a sect in the</font>
<font color="#ffff00">name of freedom.</font>

789
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,800
<font color="#00ffff">We do our best and</font>
<font color="#00ffff">dedicate ourselves to our work.</font>

790
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,680
<font color="#00ffff">Only a few of us</font>
<font color="#00ffff">still have intact families.</font>

791
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,040
<font color="#00ff00">There comes a moment when</font>
<font color="#00ff00">work and private life merge.</font>

792
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:24,920
<font color="#00ff00">This transition is gradual.</font>

793
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,120
<font color="#ffff00">We're going on air in</font>
<font color="#ffff00">two minutes.</font>

794
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,680
<font color="#ffffff">Five, four, three, two, one:</font>

795
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,120
<font color="#ffffff">Camera rolling.</font>

796
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:50,040
<font color="#ffff00">Today Dozhd is broadcasting</font>
<font color="#ffff00">from its new studio.</font>

797
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,120
<font color="#00ff00">It was clear to me that our</font>
<font color="#00ff00">main task should not be to</font>

798
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:07,480
<font color="#00ff00">enforce Natasha's dream.</font>

799
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,760
<font color="#00ff00">It was primarily about</font>
<font color="#00ff00">journalism.</font>

800
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,720
<font color="#00ff00">We had to keep our work</font>
<font color="#00ff00">alive.</font>

<font color="#00ffff">I wish that my country</font>
<font color="#00ffff">resembled the faces of</font>
<font color="#00ffff">these people.</font>

<font color="#00ffff">That is very important to me.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">To a new life in Flacon!</font>

<font color="#ffffff">♪ Techno ♪</font>

<font color="#00ffff">Ultimately, we were nothing</font>
<font color="#00ffff">more than a family.</font>

<font color="#00ff00">We are the chosen ones.</font>

<font color="#00ff00">Everyone wants to be like us.</font>

<font color="#00ffff">We are ready to conduct</font>
<font color="#00ffff">a dialogue with the opposition</font>

<font color="#00ffff">and build partnership relations</font>
<font color="#00ffff">with the civil population.</font>

<font color="#00ffff">And we take constructive</font>
<font color="#00ffff">criticism of the government</font>
<font color="#00ffff">into account.</font>

<font color="#00ffff">On every level.</font>

<font color="#00ffff">This exchange is indispensable</font>
<font color="#00ffff">for every state,</font>

<font color="#00ffff">including ours.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">Here is Dozhd with a breaking</font>
<font color="#ffff00">news report.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">I am Vladimir Romensky</font>
<font color="#ffff00">and reporting from the scene</font>

<font color="#ffff00">of the murder of Boris</font>
<font color="#ffff00">Nemtsov near the Kremlin.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">He was shot here by an</font>
<font color="#ffff00">unknown person.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">Relatives and friends are</font>
<font color="#ffff00">on site.</font>

<font color="#00ff00">Here is Pavel Lobkov with</font>
<font color="#00ff00">the news.</font>

<font color="#00ff00">The most important is</font>
<font color="#00ff00">the murder of Boris Nemtsov.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">That's when I got scared.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">I became aware that I am</font>
<font color="#ffff00">always traveling alone,</font>

<font color="#ffff00">without bodyguards or drivers.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">I had to deal with the fear.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">It was omnipresent, I</font>
<font color="#ffff00">always looked</font>

<font color="#ffff00">at who was walking behind me,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">who was standing in the stairwell.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">I tried to suppress it:</font>

<font color="#ffff00">What should I do to prevent</font>
<font color="#ffff00">it?</font>

<font color="#ffff00">Shut down the station and</font>
<font color="#ffff00">move to the Canary Islands?</font>

<font color="#ffff00">I didn't even want to think</font>
<font color="#ffff00">about that.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">I had the feeling that if I</font>
<font color="#ffff00">do it, it will come true.</font>

<font color="#00ff00">We felt like soldiers after</font>
<font color="#00ff00">a war.</font>

<font color="#00ff00">We were simply exhausted.</font>

<font color="#00ff00">And we didn't know what</font>
<font color="#00ff00">would happen next, what would</font>
<font color="#00ff00">become of us.</font>

<font color="#00ffff">We are all young people,</font>
<font color="#00ffff">hipsters.</font>

<font color="#00ffff">But suddenly turned gray.</font>

<font color="#00ffff">We are deeply disgusted by</font>
<font color="#00ffff">shallow, colorful news.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">Could you comment live for</font>
<font color="#ffff00">Dozhd</font>

<font color="#ffff00">on whether and when we will</font>
<font color="#ffff00">be released?</font>

<font color="#ffff00">We are being denied any</font>
<font color="#ffff00">statement.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">There are eight of us stuck</font>
<font color="#ffff00">here and we don't know what</font>
<font color="#ffff00">will happen next.</font>

<font color="#ffff00">Maybe they'll take us to the</font>
<font color="#ffff00">next police station.</font>

<font color="#ffffff">Of 140 million inhabitants,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">only 60,000 are willing</font>

<font color="#ffffff">to pay for independent</font>
<font color="#ffffff">reporting.</font>

<font color="#ffffff">The fees keep Dozhd alive.</font>

<font color="#ffffff">But with so few viewers, we</font>
<font color="#ffffff">can hardly change the world.</font>

<font color="#ffffff">In the last five years, we</font>
<font color="#ffffff">celebrate many small victories,</font>

<font color="#ffffff">but lose the big war.</font>

<font color="#ffffff">With our adventure, we are</font>
<font color="#ffffff">unable to improve the world.</font>

851
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,600
<font color="#ffffff">and achieve a comprehensive</font>
<font color="#ffffff">victory.</font>

852
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:31,560
<font color="#ffffff">As long as we hide</font>
<font color="#ffffff">behind the paywall,</font>

853
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,960
<font color="#ffffff">we are no threat</font>
<font color="#ffffff">to the state.</font>

854
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:40,640
<font color="#ffff00">We believed</font>
<font color="#ffff00">in a better future,</font>

855
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,680
<font color="#ffff00">which did not come to pass.</font>

856
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:52,800
<font color="#ffff00">It is time to realize that.</font>

857
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:03,320
<font color="#00ffff">In a documentary</font>

858
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,560
<font color="#00ffff">about the Russian writer</font>
<font color="#00ffff">Vladimir Sorokin, he says:</font>

859
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:13,560
<font color="#00ffff">"In Russia, one should not</font>
<font color="#00ffff">believe in the future.</font>

860
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:41,400
<font color="#00ffff">The present of Russia</font>
<font color="#00ffff">is its future."</font>

861
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:46,480
<font color="#00ffff">Natasha gathered us and said:</font>

862
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:54,320
<font color="#00ffff">"Make me happy!</font>

863
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:56,680
<font color="#00ffff">If you don't succeed</font>
<font color="#00ffff">in the coming year,</font>

864
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,640
<font color="#00ffff">I'll shut everything down."</font>

865
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:06,720
<font color="#ffff00">I interpreted her words</font>
<font color="#ffff00">very pessimistically.</font>

866
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,720
<font color="#ffff00">I understood it like this:</font>

867
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,560
<font color="#ffff00">Our time is up,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">and the final decision,</font>

868
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,560
<font color="#ffff00">to give up the station,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">is already at the door.</font>

869
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:30,800
<font color="#ffffff">It felt like the end.</font>

870
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:40,760
<font color="#ffffff">"If it really comes to that,"</font>
<font color="#ffffff">I told her,</font>

871
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,400
<font color="#ffffff">"I will film it".</font>

872
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,560
<font color="#ffffff">But as always with Dozhd,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">nothing went as planned.</font>

873
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:10,400
<font color="#00ffff">It is difficult to say</font>
<font color="#00ffff">how many protesters are here.</font>

874
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,880
<font color="#ffff00">I greet you</font>
<font color="#ffff00">from the prison van.</font>

875
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:16,960
<font color="#ffff00">I was arrested</font>
<font color="#ffff00">while reporting on the protests</font>

876
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:20,120
<font color="#ffff00">against the exclusion of</font>
<font color="#ffff00">opposition members in elections.</font>

877
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,360
<font color="#00ffff">Masha, we switch briefly</font>
<font color="#00ffff">to Volodya Romensky.</font>

878
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,640
<font color="#00ffff">They are trying</font>
<font color="#00ffff">to dissolve the sit-in.</font>

879
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,400
<font color="#ffff00">Last night we decided</font>
<font color="#ffff00">on a special broadcast.</font>

880
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,200
<font color="#00ffff">I'm just a journalist,</font>
<font color="#00ffff">calm down!</font>

881
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,560
<font color="#ffff00">There was chaos,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">total injustice.</font>

882
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,240
<font color="#ffff00">Then we suddenly knew</font>
<font color="#ffff00">what to do:</font>

883
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:53,280
<font color="#ffff00">Temporarily remove</font>
<font color="#ffff00">the paywall</font>

884
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,640
<font color="#ffff00">and broadcast the live</font>
<font color="#ffff00">transmission free of charge.</font>

885
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,800
<font color="#ffff00">Share this information!</font>

886
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:18,640
<font color="#00ff00">They pushed me forward hard.</font>

887
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,160
<font color="#00ff00">I have never experienced this.</font>

888
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,360
<font color="#00ff00">We must be freely</font>
<font color="#00ff00">available</font>

889
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:37,320
<font color="#00ff00">and carefully observe</font>
<font color="#00ff00">and report on it.</font>

890
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,360
<font color="#00ff00">That is our mission</font>
<font color="#00ff00">as journalists.</font>

893
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:05,360
<font color="#00ffff">As you can see,</font>

894
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:09,240
<font color="#00ffff">the police marched in</font>

<font color="#00ffff">across from the studios.</font>

897
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,480
<font color="#00ffff">Once again we were victims</font>

01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,760
<font color="#00ff00">It's nothing.</font>

903
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:49,120
<font color="#ffff00">I don't want you to</font>
<font color="#ffff00">worry about the news.</font>

904
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,040
<font color="#00ff00">Were you summoned?</font>

905
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,040
<font color="#ffff00">Yes, as witnesses -</font>
<font color="#ffff00">don't worry,</font>

01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:00,960
<font color="#ffff00">it's about the </font>
<font color="#ffff00">demonstrations, not Dozhd.</font>

907
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,120
<font color="#00ff00">Thanks for your call,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">and good luck!</font>

908
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:10,840
<font color="#ffff00">To say I was nervous would</font>
<font color="#ffff00">be an understatement.</font>

909
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:15,120
<font color="#ffff00">It was a trial by fire.</font>

910
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:19,040
<font color="#ffff00">My first summons,</font>

911
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,120
<font color="#ffff00">despite all the tricky</font>
<font color="#ffff00">situations in Dozhd's history.</font>

912
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,960
<font color="#ffff00">I had sweaty hands at the</font>
<font color="#ffff00">prosecutor's office,</font>

913
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:00,800
<font color="#ffff00">I'd never had that before.</font>

914
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,840
<font color="#ffff00">First I was questioned</font>
<font color="#ffff00">about the reporting of</font>

915
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:06,040
<font color="#ffff00">the protests on July 27th.</font>
<font color="#ffff00">And finally</font>

916
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:10,160
<font color="#ffff00">about Dozhd's sources</font>
<font color="#ffff00">of funding.</font>

917
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,160
<font color="#ffff00">They didn't have any more</font>
<font color="#ffff00">questions.</font>

918
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:21,240
<font color="#00ff00">In the demo trial?</font>
<font color="#ffff00">As a witness.</font>

919
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,760
<font color="#00ffff">Because of the</font>
<font color="#00ffff">proceedings against the protests</font>

920
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,320
<font color="#00ffff">Natasha Sindeeva was</font>
<font color="#00ffff">summoned again.</font>

921
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:35,600
<font color="#00ff00">Of course I was worried.</font>

922
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:37,400
<font color="#00ff00">But our children were even</font>
<font color="#00ff00">more so,</font>

923
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,680
<font color="#00ff00">because they didn't</font>
<font color="#00ff00">understand what was happening.</font>

924
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:57,040
<font color="#00ff00">The night before we talked</font>
<font color="#00ff00">for a long time:</font>

925
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,400
<font color="#00ff00">How will it go? Are there</font>
<font color="#00ff00">any advantages?</font>

926
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:05,000
<font color="#00ff00">Are there consequences</font>
<font color="#00ff00">to fear for Dozhd?</font>

927
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:09,520
<font color="#ffff00">I didn't sleep that night,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">I'd never been so afraid.</font>

928
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:26,360
<font color="#00ff00">It's hard to decide</font>
<font color="#00ff00">how to live.</font>

929
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:31,040
<font color="#00ff00">Should you go into battle</font>
<font color="#00ff00">and fall as a hero</font>

930
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:36,280
<font color="#00ff00">or die of an illness</font>
<font color="#00ff00">at an old age?</font>

931
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,720
<font color="#00ff00">Not only as a person,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">but also as a channel.</font>

932
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,280
<font color="#ffff00">Why are subscribers</font>
<font color="#ffff00">currently turning their backs?</font>

933
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,360
<font color="#ffff00">Few are dissatisfied with</font>
<font color="#ffff00">the content and our work.</font>

934
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,960
<font color="#ffff00">Others don't have time to</font>
<font color="#ffff00">tune into Dozhd due to time.</font>

935
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:02,240
<font color="#00ff00">Honestly,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">I've had this feeling for years:</font>

936
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,400
<font color="#00ff00">That the channel we love so</font>
<font color="#00ff00">much isn't just treading water,</font>

937
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,600
<font color="#00ff00">but slowly</font>
<font color="#00ff00">and horribly dying.</font>

938
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:10,840
<font color="#00ffff">If it's necessary to start</font>
<font color="#00ffff">anew elsewhere,</font>

939
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,640
<font color="#00ffff">to achieve our goal,</font>
<font color="#00ffff">we must do it.</font>

940
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:20,160
<font color="#ffff00">For nights I wake up at</font>
<font color="#ffff00">four or five in the morning,</font>

941
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:23,600
<font color="#ffff00">and the thoughts race in my head.</font>

942
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:36,120
<font color="#ffff00">Is it old age or my nerves</font>
<font color="#ffff00">because of Dozhd -</font>

943
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,360
<font color="#ffff00">the vicious cycle holds you.</font>

944
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:53,600
<font color="#ffff00">I'm constantly wondering,</font>

945
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:57,200
<font color="#ffff00">where to get the necessary</font>
<font color="#ffff00">money.</font>

946
01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:01,720
<font color="#ffff00">At the beginning of the year</font>
<font color="#ffff00">I set myself a deadline:</font>

947
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,960
<font color="#ffff00">By the end of April, April</font>
<font color="#ffff00">20th, the channel's 10th</font>

948
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:14,000
<font color="#ffff00">anniversary, I have to answer</font>
<font color="#ffff00">the question of Dozhd's future.</font>

949
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,600
<font color="#ffff00">I still have no idea</font>
<font color="#ffff00">how to answer that.</font>

950
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:21,320
<font color="#ffff00">Sascha believes</font>
<font color="#ffff00">the closure of the channel</font>

951
01:09:24,440 --> 01:09:25,520
<font color="#ffff00">It could be the best option.</font>

952
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,120
<font color="#ffff00">So that he doesn't</font>
<font color="#ffff00">die a slow death.</font>

953
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,160
<font color="#ffff00">Because as it is now,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">it can't continue.</font>

954
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:37,520
<font color="#00ff00">But I rule out</font>
<font color="#00ff00">selling to a media group.</font>

955
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,520
<font color="#00ff00">We've been through too much</font>
<font color="#00ff00">in recent years,</font>

956
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,840
<font color="#00ff00">to mess it up in the end.</font>

957
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:46,200
<font color="#ffff00">Vinokurov asked me:</font>

958
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:49,440
<font color="#ffff00">"Imagine the station is gone</font>
<font color="#ffff00">and you have all the peace.</font>

959
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:55,760
<font color="#ffff00">What would you do?"</font>

960
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,600
<font color="#ffff00">I replied:</font>
<font color="#ffff00">"Seriously? Dance tango."</font>

964
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,200
<font color="#00ff00">That's selfishness,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">paired with stupidity,</font>

965
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,960
<font color="#00ff00">because it seems impossible.</font>

966
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,080
<font color="#00ff00">I don't care about Dozhd itself,</font>
<font color="#00ff00">but about our relationship.</font>

967
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:46,080
<font color="#00ff00">If Dozhd hadn't</font>

968
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:48,920

969

01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:25,920

988
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,200
<font color="#00ffff">Because of its value,</font>

989
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:39,000
<font color="#00ffff">Natasha would never be</font>
<font color="#00ffff">forgiven for closing Dozhd.</font>

1010
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:19,520
<font color="#00ffff">I am vehemently</font>
<font color="#00ffff">against changing our constitution.</font>

1011
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,480
<font color="#00ffff">Changing our constitution</font>

1012
01:14:28,480 --> 01:14:31,400
<font color="#00ffff">I think is wrong.</font>

1013
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:43,320
<font color="#00ffff">I have the constitution</font>

1014
01:14:43,440 --> 01:14:44,800
<font color="#00ffff">certainly not in my favor.</font>

01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:07,120
<font color="#ffff00">All the more</font>
<font color="#ffff00">we must stick together,</font>

1029
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,080
<font color="#ffff00">must not</font>
<font color="#ffff00">let each other down.</font>

1030
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:49,080
<font color="#ffff00">Does that correspond</font>
<font color="#ffff00">to journalistic principle?</font>

1031
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:57,280
<font color="#ffff00">Probably not.</font>

1032
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,320
<font color="#ffff00">But it is human.</font>

1033
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:10,120
<font color="#ffff00">Yes, it is human.</font>

1034
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:14,240
<font color="#ffff00">In these ten years I</font>
<font color="#ffff00">remained true to my values.</font>

1035
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:17,040
<font color="#ffff00">That is my priority.</font>

1036
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:20,840
<font color="#ffff00">The fact that I am not</font>
<font color="#ffff00">remembered as THE media</font>

1037
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:23,760
<font color="#ffff00">manager in history</font>
<font color="#ffff00">doesn't count.</font>

1038
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:28,200
<font color="#ffff00">But that I am a human with</font>
<font color="#ffff00">conscience, empathy, responsibility.</font>

1039
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:34,840
<font color="#ffff00">Last but not least, responsibility!</font>

1040
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:39,120
<font color="#ffffff">When shooting this interview,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">Natasha takes a break every 20 minutes</font>

1041
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:47,480
<font color="#ffffff">to wipe away the sweat.</font>

1042
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:50,120
<font color="#ffffff">Nevertheless, the first thing</font>
<font color="#ffffff">she does in Germany is:</font>

1043
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,840
<font color="#ffffff">She looks for a tango teacher.</font>

1044
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,480
<font color="#ffffff">♪ Tango ♪</font>

1045
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:18,760
<font color="#ffffff">The worse she feels,</font>
<font color="#ffffff">the more she thinks about dancing.</font>

1046
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,040
<font color="#ffffff">Before she returns to Moscow,</font>

1047
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:36,680
<font color="#ffffff">she wants to master Tango</font>
<font color="#ffffff">without ifs or buts.</font>

1048
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:39,160
<font color="#ffffff">♪ Tango ♪</font>

1049
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:46,880
<font color="#00ffff">What about emergency doctors</font>
<font color="#00ffff">and hospital staff </font>

1050
01:18:50,440 --> 01:18:54,880
<font color="#00ffff">in Moscow and the surrounding area?</font>

1051
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:01,800
<font color="#ffff00">Journalists are going</font>
<font color="#ffff00">through the same thing as doctors:</font>

1052
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:05,680
<font color="#ffff00">They've been thrust into the</font>
<font color="#ffff00">forefront without wanting to.</font>

1053
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:11,280
<font color="#ffff00">For journalists, this was</font>
<font color="#ffff00">partly an act of heroism.</font>

1054
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:14,520
<font color="#ffff00">I no longer think about</font>

1055
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:20,000
<font color="#ffff00">what I was pondering</font>
<font color="#ffff00">last year:</font>

1056
01:19:21,440 --> 01:19:23,240
<font color="#ffff00">Whether I should leave</font>
<font color="#ffff00">and close Dozhd.</font>

1057
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:40,800
<font color="#ffff00">I realized what purpose</font>
<font color="#ffff00">Dozhd serves</font>

1058
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:45,240
<font color="#ffff00">and why we must continue.</font>

1059
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,680
<font color="#ffff00">We are destined to accompany</font>
<font color="#ffff00">people through hard times,</font>

1060
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:56,760
<font color="#ffff00">which will probably last long.</font>

1061
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:02,640
<font color="#ffff00">When the tumor was removed,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">I got the feeling</font>

1062
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:10,680
<font color="#ffff00">that I had freed myself</font>
<font color="#ffff00">from something bad.</font>

1063
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,200
<font color="#ffff00">I was overwhelmed</font>
<font color="#ffff00">by a feeling of lightness.</font>

1064
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,440
<font color="#ffff00">Now there is no doubt for me:</font>
<font color="#ffff00">Dozhd must live on!</font>

1065
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:19,960
<font color="#ffff00">Today, June 17, 2020,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">we have just under two weeks</font>

1066
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:22,600
<font color="#ffff00">until the referendum</font>
<font color="#ffff00">on the constitutional reform.</font>

1067
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:30,640
<font color="#ffff00">I just received a call</font>

1068
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:34,880
<font color="#ffff00">from our editor-in-chief</font>
<font color="#ffff00">Tikhon Dzyadko.</font>

1069
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:38,600
<font color="#ffff00">The police have just</font>
<font color="#ffff00">arrived at the station.</font>

1070
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:51,480
<font color="#ffff00">They insist on questioning</font>
<font color="#ffff00">our reporter,</font>

1071
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:55,080
<font color="#ffff00">who has been researching</font>
<font color="#ffff00">forgeries in online elections.</font>

1072
01:20:56,880 --> 01:21:00,440
<font color="#00ff00">The station could be shut down</font>
<font color="#00ff00">at any moment.</font>

1073
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:06,040
<font color="#00ff00">They wouldn't shy away from</font>
<font color="#00ff00">coercive measures against leaders.</font>

1074
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,920
<font color="#00ff00">On the whole, we no longer</font>
<font color="#00ff00">doubt that it will come to that.</font>

1075
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,720
<font color="#00ff00">That it comes to that.</font>

1076
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:14,960
<font color="#00ffff">Tell the citizens that</font>

1077
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:17,680
<font color="#00ffff">you want to rule Russia</font>
<font color="#00ffff">for 36 years!</font>

1078
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:19,920
<font color="#00ffff">Seven years longer than Stalin,</font>

1079
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,640
<font color="#00ffff">two years longer</font>
<font color="#00ffff">than Catherine the Great?</font>

1080
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:28,360
<font color="#ffff00">We are broadcasting this</font>
<font color="#ffff00">at the same time as Putin's speech.</font>

1081
01:21:28,440 --> 01:21:31,640
<font color="#00ff00">Today?</font>
<font color="#ffff00"> Today.</font>

1082
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:32,720
<font color="#00ff00">We are mature enough to decide</font>
<font color="#00ff00">who we love ourselves.</font>

1083
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:35,000
<font color="#00ff00">No.</font>

1084
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:36,640
<font color="#ffff00">Hello.</font>

1085
01:21:38,440 --> 01:21:42,800
<font color="#00ffff">Here, please.</font>

1086
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:44,840
<font color="#ffff00">I'm about to cast my vote</font>
<font color="#ffff00">on constitutional reforms.</font>

1087
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:59,280
<font color="#ffff00">Can you see me?</font>

1088
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,080
<font color="#ffff00">Not really, too bad.</font>

1089
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:06,960
<font color="#ffff00">In itself it's just a bubble,</font>

1090
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:09,040
<font color="#ffff00">the reforms</font>
<font color="#ffff00">have probably been passed.</font>

1091
01:22:10,440 --> 01:22:15,000
<font color="#ffff00">Then why am I here?</font>

1092
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,440
<font color="#ffff00">Because for the first time</font>
<font color="#ffff00">in years I have the</font>

1093
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:23,280
<font color="#ffff00">opportunity to say a legitimate No.</font>

1094
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:26,120
<font color="#ffff00">That's why I'm here.</font>

1095
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:34,840
<font color="#00ff00">I decided not to vote.</font>

1096
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:47,600
<font color="#00ff00">And I don't think flash mobs</font>
<font color="#00ff00">can change the government.</font>

1097
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:51,320
<font color="#00ff00">We need to come up</font>
<font color="#00ff00">with something else.</font>

1098
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:54,800
<font color="#00ffff">The election results are in:</font>

1099
01:22:56,480 --> 01:22:58,160
<font color="#00ffff">77.92 percent in favor.</font>

1100
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,880
<font color="#00ffff">21.27 percent against.</font>

1101
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:14,600
<font color="#ffff00">For the first time in the</font>
<font color="#ffff00">history of Dozhd, we're on Zoom.</font>

1102
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,960
<font color="#ffff00">The channel stirred us all up.</font>

1103
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:23,640
<font color="#ffff00">The agenda</font>
<font color="#ffff00">was constantly changing.</font>

1104
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:27,160
<font color="#ffff00">We were always</font>
<font color="#ffff00">at the forefront of big events</font>

1105
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:31,640
<font color="#ffff00">and accomplished a lot.</font>

1106
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,520
<font color="#ffff00">We see the world</font>
<font color="#ffff00">through different eyes.</font>

1107
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:38,000
<font color="#ffff00">We realized</font>
<font color="#ffff00">what matters in life.</font>

1108
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:41,000
<font color="#ffff00">The channel influenced us</font>
<font color="#ffff00">in many ways as a family,</font>

1109
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,480
<font color="#ffff00">and each and every one of us.</font>

1110
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:48,200
<font color="#ffff00">Including me and Sascha.</font>

1111
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:51,200
<font color="#ffff00">I assume</font>
<font color="#ffff00">that he also regrets nothing</font>

1112
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:55,520
<font color="#ffff00">and is convinced that we</font>
<font color="#ffff00">did everything right.</font>

1113
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:58,600
<font color="#ffffff">If you let the eleven years</font>
<font color="#ffffff">pass in review:</font>

1114
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:01,800
<font color="#ffffff">Was Dozhd a sincere loss</font>
<font color="#ffffff">or a sincere investment?</font>

1115
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:06,280
<font color="#ffff00">A sincere loss.</font>

1116
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:18,640
<font color="#00ff00">She considers it</font>
<font color="#00ff00">her life's work,</font>

1117
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:21,880
<font color="#00ff00">not just as</font>
<font color="#00ff00">an obligation imposed on her.</font>

1118
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:27,360
<font color="#00ff00">She dedicates herself to her</font>
<font color="#00ff00">life's work.</font>

1119
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,400
<font color="#00ff00">And it's a priority for her</font>
<font color="#00ff00">that she prevails.</font>

1120
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:34,040
<font color="#ffff00">This is my life,</font>
<font color="#ffff00">it's clear to me now, Wera.</font>

1121
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:39,400
<font color="#ffff00">This is my life!</font>

1122
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:43,680
<font color="#ffff00">Now I'm at a point</font>
<font color="#ffff00">where I can say:</font>
