Vladimir Solovyov is the top Russian TV presenter.

His annual income is 52.6 million rubles, nice work if you can find it.

His son is a gay model in London and has never been conscripted/ served in the Russian army.

Apparently he drives a Merc and is very unhappy about the service.

In the full video, he calls for a class action lawsuit against MB.

What would he say about extra monthly charges for heated seats?

Video from Russian Tv of Solovyov whining about his Mercedes Benz problems, with English translation.

https://youtu.be/cjEpL6pQVSc

Starts near the 10 min point and the rest of the video is also interesting.

It’s like the USA confiscating Russia’s US dollar assets - you do it once, and it puts everyone else on notice you are not reliable, and should look elsewhere

Vladimir Solovyov. That name would look good on a headstone.

Soap opera stuff about people in a far away land about whom we know nothing.

I don't care. Weekly World News.

Three observations:

Individuals own cars. And now a “private” corporation has made them impossible to repair because that corporation is angry at the government where the person lives. The blending of State and corporate power, so the Russian guy is not all that far off.

Two, China and India has Mercedes, Chinese and Indians are great at doing software.

Three, as with US Banks that have started doing behavior modification for the occupation government in DC, now you have to carefully reconsider doing business with them.

--- "His annual income is 52.6 million rubles, nice work if you can find it"

At current exchange rates, that's about $526,000. "Top?" Not by a long shot.

Sean Hannity - $40 million

Diane Sawyer - $22 million

Robin Roberts - $18 million

George Stephanopoulos - $15 million.

Anderson Cooper - $12 million

Shepard Smith - $10 million

Maria Bartiromo - $10 million

Joe Scarborough - $8 million

Bret Baier - $7 million

Scott Pelley - $7 million

Rachel Maddow - $7 million

Lawrence O'Donnell - $5 million

Lester Holt - $4 million

Obozrevatel'slogan is "Made in Ukraine." Scrolling down the web page gives an indication of the news they cover -- in English. Nosing around their site a bit, in the "Documents" part of the website, one finds some "404 Page Not Found." Seems like their "team" isn't fully on "top" either. They need to come work at MSNBC.

As to Solovyov, reading further tells some interesting tidbits --

In the early 1990s, Solovyov taught economics at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.[20]

In 1999, Solovyov first appeared as a presenter on two TV talk shows: The Process on the ORT channel (with Alexander Gordon) (1999–2001) and Passion for Solovyov on the TNT channel (1999–2002). These were followed by his own projects Breakfast with Solovyov and Nightingale Night on TV6, the latter being the final show broadcast on the station before it was shut down in early 2002, as well as Look Who's Coming!, Duel on TVS and Orange Juice on NTV.

This probably explains Rachel Maddow.....

Given that Russia has been conducting cyber warfare for over fifteen years against healthcare and education, and has started attacking safety critical monitoring systems, industrial controls and the like, damned right Russia shouldn’t be given open access to firmware.

Maybe Mercedes can create a special firmware just for Russia where the speedometer shows whatever it has to show to stop breaking the speed limit, the mpg says “who cares, there is unlimited Russian gas”, and Solovyov gets reminded that German cars are Nazi cars every time he forgets to clunk click the seatbelt.

Just wait for the howling and cursing here on this forum when China decides to shutdown all the cars, appliance, machinery, computers, and infrastructure they have sold the USA. It’ll be “Highway Robbery, Highway Robbery!!!” they will say.
