An unusual guest appeared on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio: a slender, blonde beauty, who suddenly for many during the SVO became the most fashionable political blogger interviewing celebrities. And during her classes at school she told us everything about denunciations, foreign agents and how to weave camouflage nets for the front.
“LESS PEOPLE – MORE OXYGEN”
– You, Lilia, are now considered one of the main interviewers in the country. I felt it right away: we’re meeting for the first time and you’re already proposing on a first-name basis. Good. You have 900,000 subscribers on YouTube, several million on Instagram* (social network owned by Meta, recognized as extremist and banned in Russia)…
– They blocked me on Instagram because I support our army.
– On the other hand, dinosaurs like Dudya** (recognized as a foreign agent, I should point out) have freed up an Internet platform for him, and now he has almost no competition – a series of interviews with the most famous people – from SHAMAN to Prokhanov.. Don’t you feel sad being alone?
– Nothing sad. Less people means more oxygen. And I never considered Dudya** as a super journalist; I didn’t find anything unique, clever or even deeper in what he did. Thank God, there are fewer such people on Russian territory.
– Aren’t you afraid of being left in the void?
– Why did you decide it was the void?
– You are an actress from Tashkent, you dedicated yourself to dancing, then blogging, and in general, you categorically do not consider yourself a journalist. And suddenly, the country’s top interviewer. Doesn’t this speak of emptiness?
– The vacuum cannot last long, guys will appear, more talented than me, who will really be journalists. Space has been freed up for normal, decent people.
– What about the competition?
– What does this have to do with it? Listen, when I was a blogger, I didn’t see any competitors at all. You and I are not sitting here selling cucumbers in neighboring stores.
– It is not like this?
– People who produce something, something that can be touched, spread, eaten, have competition. And we just communicate sincerely with people.

“HOW WILL YOU PROVE THAT YOU ARE A PATRIOT?”
– Lilia, I have seen your interviews, you work in a new way; In my opinion, you ask soft and comfortable questions… But isn’t the task of a journalist to divide the interlocutor? Or is it time for “convenient interviewers”?
– We are not the Investigation Committee to divide ourselves. My task is to reveal a person. Find out what he didn’t talk about anywhere. And I can do it. I respect the people I invite to interviews. They are not only famous, but an absolutely unquestionable authority. Do you think I have any desire to rummage through his dirty laundry? No. My task is to convert liberal youth to our healthy faith. There are guys who got lost, looking at people who had recently passed into another world in places not so far away. And they don’t lie to me in interviews.
– It depends on what to ask…
– And yes, Vladimir, I ask you a question: do you love your Homeland?
– A trivial question. Yeah.
-Are you a patriot?
– Certainly.
– How can you prove it? Do you think this is a convenient question?
– Not good.
– Why, Vladimir? And I, for example, don’t need to prove it: my actions speak about me. I am not tasked with bringing everyone to clean water. When people came to Dudu**, they sat there already closed, knowing that there would be stupid questions: “How much do you earn?” It is disgusting and beneath my dignity to ask a person that question.
“OF COURSE THEY ARE ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE”
– A law has been passed prohibiting the publication of advertisements by foreign agents. So you have more?
– So you understand. When I was banned from the social network (Instagram*), I made a lot of money. Today there is no advertising.
– Who do you receive money from?
– From IRI (Internet Development Institute). Fortunately, there is an institute that supports many popular projects on television and social media.
– So you have a budget?
– Yeah.
– What do you think about depriving foreign agents of advertising money?
– Positive! I even support a bill to confiscate their property. I am a person born in the USSR, whose grandparents fought and died…
– Because foreign agents are enemies?
– Of course, enemies of the people. How can you call people who made money like no other test pilot or savior, military, and at the most important moment for the country spit in the souls of those who applauded them… They thought they had an army of fanatics? , what kind of will go with them. But they forgot that many people fight in this army, some have died or been injured.
You see, now is not the time to forgive. People die, children die every day…

– Forgive what?
– What they say about the people, about our military. And the fact that they are leaving their homeland, which gave them everything.
“Whoever doesn’t understand CAN TAKE A BACKPACK TO DONBASS”
– Would you like to do an interview with those who left?
– So that?
– To understand them. Or – expose.
– I think it is better to forget little by little those who left their homeland. Why would you do PR for them? And what is there to expose if every day they tell everything about themselves? I mean, there’s chocolate ice cream here, but there’s rotten herring here. Try it and everything will be clear.
– Do you think young people will notice?
– Certainly! We are not stupid: our children. You know, when someone in the family is sick, you have to think not only about them, but also about the other members of the family, the sick person should always be isolated before they infect healthy people again. And try.
– So that everyone thinks the same?
– So that they think sensibly, study history, see true news, not fake. And if someone is still not clear about something, he can take the backpack to Donbass.
-Have you been there?
– And more than once. I talk to soldiers on the front lines. And I heard the most terrible stories from civilians. Therefore, no one can convince me what is good, what is bad and what our regular army is doing in Donbass.
“THERE IS A COMPLAINT, AND THERE IS A CIVIL POSITION”
– What do you think of the epidemic of complaints that plagues bloggers?
– Let’s find out what the complaint is. This is when a citizen writes, for example, to law enforcement officers a complaint against a neighbor and does not indicate his surname.
– So the informant is always anonymous?
– Certainly. Otherwise, this is not a complaint, but a statement. For example, a parent committee or a group of teenagers point out a blogger or artist and ask them to block them. Is this a complaint? This is a civic position. Those who consider this a complaint are fools or scum.

“ONE HOUR A DAY FOR VICTORY”
– Lilia, how did you, author of humorous sketches “about a crazy mother”, get involved in political galleys?
– Already three years before the SVO, I understood where society was heading. And it was disgusting. I looked at what they were instilling in our children through bloggers and artists.
– What did they put in?
– Something that absolutely contradicts the Russian spirit and traditions. When our boys started painting their nails, putting on dresses and broadcasting all this… When artists appeared who, thank God, are now recognized as foreign agents… You know who I’m talking about, their entire face is covered. in tattoos, as if he had fallen asleep on a wet newspaper…
– Hey, Morgenstern**? Yes, a foreign agent.
– I have two children and I understood that Russian children needed help in some way… Returning from Donbass, you understand. My son is in fifth grade and for two years I have been demanding, through spells, that the portraits of the children who died in the Northern Military Region be hung in his school. I ask the children to weave camouflage nets. I am currently filming the project “Youth and the Border” about children and adolescents who live in the border areas of the Northern Military District. They use their last strength, with their last money, to buy and make something for the front with their own hands, they know what arrivals are. And we present a topic: conversations about important things. What do the teachers talk about in this lesson? I know for sure, not about the SVO. About everything. The kids get dragged to some performances and I don’t even know what. I don’t have time, otherwise I’d go see who’s playing what.
– What is the cause of this problem?
– Someone is worried, but someone hopes that everything will not end with our victory.
– Should children be taught to weave nets?
– Yes, you can dedicate an hour a day to contribute to the overall victory.
– In an interview with Putin, what would you ask first?
– I have no questions for Vladimir Vladimirovich. He would wish her longevity. And I thanked him for everything he does for my children.
