Yo. Thought I'd share a bit of French life in here since these forums are browsed by some Russians and this could be interesting.
V. Putin accepted an interview with the most popular french tv channel for its 20h news (TF1) and for a very popular radio (Europe 1).
Let's summarize what French media and "elites" think of V. Putin : He's acting like Hitler in Ukraine, he is a tyrant, he hates gays, he hates women, he passed horrible laws towards gays, he put Pussy Riot in prison, press isn't free in russia and is under total control, etc.
Let's summarize what French people think : some think like the medias, some don't even know who is Valentin Pudding, some think he is a very good president defending the interests of his nation and people, a good counter power to the outrageous USA domination over EU and France particularly, that he represents the good old tradition and manly values, blablabla.
I've been reading through a shitload of French websites comments these last few months and I can say a lot of them are in favor of Putin or at least neutral (he's not good but not Hitler and we should look upon ourselves too, to put it simply).
Let's not forget our own president Hollande is at approximately 20% in polls when it comes to trust and support. It's probably the most despised president of our Vth Republic, and Sarkozy put the bar damn high already (or low...).
About what I wanted to share :
At one point, Putin said something about Hillary Clinton (the journalist remembered him how she said he acted like Hitler in eastern europe) and used the word "prerekanya", which we can hear in the podcast and which apparently means "dispute, wrangle".
Still, the translator of the TV news used the word "debate" (discuss), which lead to the following sentence : "It is better not to debate with women...".
Then we had it, shitloads of tweets and so on, Putin is a horrible mysogynist, blabla. Even a very popular website called Le Figaro used the word "debate" while some other did the good translation of "dispute".
So be it, millions of French heard Putin said "It is better not to debate with women..." and will probably think that's what he meant, and will perhaps don't even give a shit about it.
He could have said it, I wouldn't have minded actually, but this kind of fail is disgusting. I'm pretty sure TF1 will not make any excuse whatsoever. I'm curious to see how it will go from now on with that.
So, here is a transcription of what Putin said : http://ria.ru/politics/20140604/1010730321.html
Can some russians confirm the "preferable not to debate with a woman" is bullshit ? Or was the translator of TF1 right in his translation ?
