"Did someone new start here, or what?" Vladimir Solovyov repeatedly made headlines with aggressive threats against Germany and the West. This time, however, the TV presenter's anger is not directed at another country - but at his own colleagues.
"Nobody takes responsibility. There is no discipline here. You don't care that millions of people are watching right now," Solovyov raged on his TV show. The reason: the switch to his guest, US economist Jeffrey Sachs, just doesn't work.
"What are you actually capable of? You had a lot of time and are still unable to prepare everything," Solovyov rumbles. "Doing something we do every time in our studio. Who's the incompetent person on the buttons today?"
The line to his discussion partner came about a little later, so that Solovyov calmed down a little. However, there were still problems with the sound.
Solovyov, who is sometimes considered "Putin's chief propagandist", otherwise causes a stir with radical positions and demands on his TV show. For example, after the trip by Green Party politician Claudia Roth, he threatened Germany with an invasion by Russian troops.
