Chapter 286: What Do We Owe You? 》
The second more
(Congratulations to the second ally of this book, book friend Tiannuoshui, I'm ashamed that I didn't see the news yesterday, in order to celebrate the birth of the second ally, today and tomorrow will be updated)
Western countries always think that if they dominate the propaganda, they can begin to indoctrinate the people of the world with the threat from the socialist countries of the East. Britain has always had to find a way to get back the face it has lost in front of the people of the world. The Times, for example, drew a cartoon to satirize the expansion of the Soviet Union.
A giant bear with a scythe and hammer in his left hand and vodka in his right hand was lying in the Black Sea strait, his huge body blocking the shipping of the strait, and his eyes looked viciously into the distance. And in front of the black bear, the ship flying the British flag looks extraordinarily small. The Times used such news to mock the Soviet Union's strategic expansion, and used a very Cold War headline, "Beware, Terrible Evil Empire is Back."
"Yes, that evil empire is back, after three years of absence in European politics, when the brutal 'Ivan the Terrible' once again sounded the clarion call for war, when Peter the Great's blade was redirected at the security of the British homeland, and once again declared his existence to the West. When the crazy Ivan puts his hand on the nuclear button, and the people of the free world will once again feel the terror from the red world, yet our government has long since lost the glory of the sunset, and looks weak and incompetent in the face of the mighty Soviets! ”
Ivan the Terrible refers to Yanayev's political and diplomatic toughness, while Peter the Great refers to Yanayev's political reforms, a very clever metaphor.
All of a sudden, the Soviet threat theory was run by some Conservative politicians. The rapid heating up in Great Britain began again. Their people laughed at the fact that the Soviet Union's control of the straits, thousands of nautical miles away, was a threat to Britain. But he never thought about whether Britain's involvement in the Turkish Straits was not a great power chauvinistic invasion.
The British Conservative Party deliberately avoided the topic of the public, who only went through the British Radio and Television and the Voice of Europe, and the double standards have always been very slippery in their minds, whether it was the Soviet Union or other socialist countries.
Seeing that the British jumped out as targets again, the Soviet Propaganda Department of course would not let go of this opportunity for NATO to fight a propaganda war and a war of public opinion, in fact, Surkov was already invincible and lonely in the war of public opinion. Ever since Yanayev came to power, the West has never won a war of public opinion with the Soviet Union.
"We have won, we will win now, and we will win in the future." Sulkov looked at the reports of foreign newspapers and shook his head contemptuously, he stacked the so-called headlines and placed them on the other side of the table. Begin to meditate on what kind of amazing propaganda to come up with to deal with the threat propaganda of the West.
Yanayev's advice to Surkov was that it was not necessary to fight against their threatening propaganda now, after all, this kind of thing will not change anytime soon because of one or two of your propaganda. What is more important is to unite the people and enhance the cohesion of the nation. in order to stop the erosion and spread of internal consciousness-form.
Su Xuan's product must be a high-quality product. Surkov once again put pen to paper to the elites who had gathered the propaganda department. Since the British so shamelessly pulled out the theory of the red threat, the Soviet Union once again orchestrated a propaganda campaign to refute the so-called red imperial threat theory of the British. Of course, this threat theory is more important to let the peoples of the Soviet Union see clearly what the whole country looks like in their eyes.
Surkov had always been informal in the form of propaganda, and he asked those in the department not to write a bureaucratic article in a special format that tasted like chewing wax. Even I read it drowsy, not to mention the people of the USSR? The masses of the people only like the culture that is close to them, rather than the old-fashioned and boring preaching.
Therefore, the deviant Surkov was often able to achieve success in the offensive of public opinion, which also established his status as a gray cardinal in the Kremlin. In the eyes of the people, he was also rated as the leader of the country who best represented the voice of the Soviet people.
After a week of planning, the Soviet propaganda department launched another propaganda film comparable to "I am the Russian invader", this time the Soviet Union did not raise domineering slogans, but used pathos to resonate with the people.
When we were the Tsarist Empire, you said that we were the barbarians of Europe, the invaders of culture;
We are predicted to be the next superpower, and we are accused of being a red threat to world peace.
At that time, we refused to accept the Industrial Revolution, and you used the artillery fire of war to force the door open;
When we embrace free trade, you scold us for taking your job.
In 1922 we were in turmoil, and you incited the opposition at home in an attempt to hang us in the bud;
In 1991 we were going to integrate the disintegrated member states, and you said we were an invasion of an evil empire.
We use communism to save the great motherland, and you hate us for being dissidents;
We embrace the free market, and you hate us for grabbing the market.
We oppose rumor-mongering, and you say that we are trampling on human rights.
We were destitute, and you saw us as gray animals;
Later, when we rose to prominence, you blamed us for burdening you with debts.
Our heavy industrial achievements are remarkable, and you say that we are polluters of the environment;
Our goods start to trade, and you say we are the cause of global warming.
We extract oil, and you say we cut off other countries;
You go to war for oil, you say you want to save the people who are hot and watery.
We were in turmoil, and you said we didn't have the rule of law;
Now we want to maintain peace in accordance with the law, and you say that we are violating human rights.
When we are silent, you say that we lack freedom of speech and that we are ruled by a dictatorship.
We are no longer silent, you say we are xenophobic mobs brainwashed by the government.
Why do you hate us so much? We want to know.
"No", you say, "I don't hate you, it's just that you are meant to be." ”
We don't hate you either, but, do you know us?
"Of course I do." You said. "We have a lot of news, the Associated Press, Reuters, and BBCC......"
Soon the same article titled "What do we owe you?" The article began to circulate in the major newspapers of the Soviet Union, and many people could not believe that such a sloppy article was actually written by the old-fashioned Soviet government. So soon the article snowballed bigger and bigger until it caught the attention of the Western media. (To be continued.) )
