История

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Frederik Willem de Klerk (born 18 March 1936), often known as F. W. de Klerk, was the seventh and last State President of apartheid-era South Africa, serving from September 1989 to May 1994. de Klerk was also leader of the National Party (which later became the New National Party) from February 1989 to September 1997. de Klerk is best known for engineering the end of apartheid, South Africa's racial segregation policy, and supporting the transformation of South Africa into a multi-racial democracy by entering into the negotiations that resulted in all citizens, including the country's black majority, having equal voting and other rights. He won Félix Houphouët-Boigny Peace Prize in 1991, Prince of Asturias Awards in 1992 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 along with Nelson Mandela for his role in the ending of apartheid. He was one of the Deputy Presidents of South Africa during the presidency of Nelson Mandela until 1996, the last white person to hold the position to date. In 1997, he retired from politics.

Self - Former President of South Africa

Spin doctor — так называют политтехнологов, которые стараются минимизировать последствия от попадания в эфир негативной информации о своих клиентах. Это фильм об одном из специалистов в этой области, лорде Тиме Белле. Белл, начинавший в рекламе, всегда имел склонность к "людям с проблемами", как он их называл. Действуя напористо и жестоко, он разрабатывал и проводил пиар-кампании для непопулярных политиков, диктаторов и беспринципных корпораций. Используя архивные материалы, интервью с Беллом, с его коллегами и оппонентами, Дайана Нилл и Ричард Поплак представляют впечатляющее исследование политизации современных средств массовых коммуникаций.
