Irina Shikhman called the common pain of emigrants the separation from the Russian audience

Journalist Irina Shikhman (included by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation in the register of foreign agents), living in Europe, called the common pain of her fellow emigrants that they cease to understand the Russian audience. She spoke on this topic in a video available on YouTube.

“The whole common pain is that we are separated from our (Russian - Lenta.ru note) audience. We don’t understand what the pain is about there, and they don’t understand what the pain is about here,” Shikhman said.

Journalist Leonid Parfenov argued with her and noted that differences in geographic location should not affect whether people understand each other. He emphasized that in the modern world, most important information is transmitted via the Internet, which is why a journalist does not have to live in the same country as his readers, listeners or viewers.
