Alexander Bezzubtsev, Valery Perelygin, and Anatoly Borodin – Creaters of Bitnovosti

Bitnovosti, Russian-language Cryptocurrency News Program

Bitnovosti and Production TV

During Bitcoin Wednesday in Amsterdam on 2 March, 2016, Alexander Bezzubtsev, Valery Perelygin and Anatoly Borodin from the video production company Production TV will visit us from Lipetsk, Russia.  Lipetsk is a city with a population of 500,000 about 6 hours drive south from Moscow and another 6 hours east of the Ukrainian border.  Alexander, Valery and Anatoly produce the cryptocurrency news program Bitnovosti.

They are also the creators of the documentary Cryptocurrency: The Gold of the Digital Age about cryptocurrency in Russia.  Theirs was one of the films screened at the Melkweg Cinema for the 2nd Bitcoin Film Festival in December 2015. It provided one of the world’s first detailed portrayals of the digital currency sector in the country led by Vladimir Putin.

Now the same team that created the film will be here to tell their story in person.  In particular, they will talk about how the view of the establishment influences most of the information that the public consumes in a country where as much as 30% of the population still do not use the Internet and a significant number are still beginning users with 1 or 2 years of experience.  According to the filmmakers:

Contrary to popular belief, at the beginning of 2016 digital currency still has not been formally banned in Russia.  An announcement from the Russian Central Bank in January 2014 was nevertheless taken by many to be an outright ban, which has already led to the persecution of a number of Bitcoin-related ventures by the authorities.  There has also been extensive misinformation and character assassination designed to generate fear and doubt and to marginalize stories or individuals that are considered too positive about cryptocurrency.
