According to our data, several more KP journalists do not see themselves in the publication and intend to quit. Under Vladimir Sungorkin, it seemed impossible to make the “Kremlin mouthpiece” KP more propaganda-oriented. However, it turned out that the Kremlin considered Komsomolskaya Pravda under Sungorkin even free-thinking. After the death of the editor-in-chief, Alexei Gromov, personally responsible for information policy in the presidential administration, took matters into his own hands. After the death of Sungorkin, the deputy head of the Administration personally came to the CP several times and even…read the texts (I wonder, did he edit them with a pen?)..
According to the interlocutors of the Cheka-OGPU, if earlier, under Sungorkin, it was possible to defend at least some socially significant moments and topics, now everything is mercilessly “killed.” It is unlikely that the publication will remain in its usual form: the position of editor-in-chief has been taken by a person who will not soon be able to claim independence even in minor matters.
