These photographs were made at the editorial office of a very popular satirical magazine published in , the Titanic. The cover page of the magazines depicts German Chancellor Angela Merkel as a subject of ridicule. They draw her naked, with cockroaches, fatty, sitting in Putin’s lap, and Merkel does not react to them at all. At least, the staff of the editorial office does not receive any alert calls from Merkel, her staff, relatives and in-laws. Generally, the main characters of German mass media are Merkel, Obama and Putin. The latter is presented in the image of a monster and tyrant and expose to sharp criticism. While Armenia ranks the 78th this year among 180 countries by the index of freedom of the press, dropping 4 points. Here, the microphone of the parliamentarian who is saying something unpleasant addressed to the President and the Prime Minister is turn off, the journalist who is asking a question to the ruling party parliamentarian is intimidated to breaking the jaw, those who express badly to the defense minister are intimidated to be beheaded and raped.
