The words had little apparent effect. Within hours the Soviets shut down a liberal television program and sharply restricted the nation's only independent news agency. "We're seeing a coup. But in a country as big as ours it doesn't take just an hour, like in Haiti," said Yevgeny Dodolev, host of the banned "Vzglyad" TV show. If the generals have their way, the next step could be to declare martial law in Lithuania, disband its legislature, disperse the crowds around Parliament and do the same in other breakaway republics. All while the world looks elsewhere.
In 1991 his colleagues founded a TV company VID (VID actually stands for Vzglyad I Drugiye which literally translates as The View and the Others).

Dodolev has a tough reputation:

has reported. Yevgeny Dodolev, publishing director of the business publications group of the Rodionov Publishing House, finds that Romanova and Gordeyev, who have worked for the magazine for less than six months, have violated the business format of the magazine. “Olga Romanova is making some other magazine, but not BusinessWeek. It is good, and I like it, but it’s a general interest magazine. Such a magazine can be made, if it is independent. But a licensed publication has its own laws – it needs to meet the franchise criteria”, Kommersant quoted Dodolev as saying. Dodolev has made this decision independently, Kommersant has reported. BusinessWeek editor Rose Brady said this decision was not made by BusinessWeek. BusinessWeek Russia journalists believe that the conflict between the publisher and the editor-in-chief began after Romanova “refused to publish ordered materials in the magazine”.
