Vokrug Sveta intended to write about white cranes, not about Putin.
Masha Gessen, the editor-in-chief of popular Russian magazine Vokrug Sveta (Around The World) is quitting her position after the refusal to provide media coverage for Vladimir Putin’s trip, BBC says.
The press release of Vokrug Sveta says the decision was mutual and based on “conflict over division of powers between the editorial office and the board.”
Masha Gessen said in interview she had refused to send a correspondent to white cranes rescue trip as it had been planned that Vladimir Putin would release some white cranes during the expedition.
Gessen considered the fact to be the violation of the Law on Mass Media as Vokrug Sveta’s mission was to write about white cranes, not about Putin.
“The events with Putin are specific ones: just remember rescuing tigers or diving for amphoras. It may occur trees are tied to the stubs,” Ms. Gessen said.
Masha Gessen is a Russian and United States journalist and author. She holds both Russian and US citizenship. She has written on LGBT rights and Russian affairs. Her works have also appeared in The New Republic, New Statesman, Granta, Slate and Vanity Fair. Her 2012 book The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin is a political biography of Vladimir Putin, whom she describes as a dictator.
