the soviet union still shapes our futures. after the soviet, in fel people gain certain freedoms but lost outs, in other ways, we just laughed. but paragraph move to that. we're back in 1960 shy, but it's not when i'm on that he's been unable to obtain citizenship ever since it all. his life seemed better back in the ussr. i moved to lot here from the russian, the pat screeching in 1965 and i've lived here ever since. at that time it was good fun and people have life to the full ever was good natured and cheerful and it fell as if there was some kind of future when more comfortable than under soviet rule. then of course, there was the referendum to leave the or so on. people voted for it. from then on we were divided into citizens and non citizens. those who lived in not feel before 1940 wednesday grant assistantship, and those who came later went on citizens. if you're not granted citizenship, then you do not have the right to occupy certain positions in government structures . they introduced the state examination commission

but it also failed the former soviet union. i mean the idea that america george a demon it's all right. the idea that western interference can help you more chrissy is absolutely counterproductive. glenn decent shows it very well in his article at the opinion website. basically, the majority of the russians on law 40 her last or even phone. or, you know, most kids, the least popular person. they're looking for someone who could replace shackle and preserve with russia. someone like barber ego. but the west, the narrative is out in only 200 k, you know the, that's the problem with, with terry. and i would just, they have only one candidate. they have only bonds, wary. and you know, so that out in the cpanel and that's very productive. you know, when does economy start was working badly when you have a role in the money and outside interference is in lockets relations. and that's exactly what happens in bell or was in your brain because western influences. that's what happened in russia regarding, you know, what have don't from t

soviet union fell 30 years ago. he says it was an unforgettable moment. it was a long process that started in august. so this realization came little by little. if i, if i have to fix a moment, so deep emotion was exactly the night between the 25th and the 26th of december. when with other colleagues in trends, we went to the red square and we saw this flag will be represented for 70 years, the, the, the prestige and the my, the soviet union just coming out and i was not a soviet citizen. no, i mean, it was not the trade, but it was quite important was emotional for what you're the, you know, had meant for millions of people until the be in the meeting or did they in the rush and forest? you know, nobody really believed that this could have happened. there was, there were, i thought, is, is there were room or is there were, but nobody really believe that the, the, the simply just like that the, the soviet union could be declared not, not, not existence anymore. we went so i mean when i say we, i mean me and my, my f

and, you know, we're doing roman empire, soviet union empire. remember in the soviet union class you had and whole generation of men essentially die from alcoholism. here you've got a whole generation of americans that are set to die from o. b to addiction, thanks to the collapse of the american empire, which could have been avoided. i don't think it can because the entropy always that then whatever the system is, what ever system in history throughout nature, entropy always gets it in the end. so that's the inevitable lety. it has to happen and these are just the signs that we're looking at that. but just like the business cycle, like you, the notion is the essential banks believe they convince themselves that they could do something to stop it. because who likes the business cycle, who likes to put the neighborhood shop out of business, who likes the destruction of capital like that. but it has to happen because that's . c the cycle of life, and so let's turn to the cycle of this business, the business cycle applied to the media industry. so w

unfortunately, our common fatherland, the soviet union, dissolved acres. as you know, the core of this common states is historical. russia, the russian federation garcia, which is, you know, lost almost office industrial potential. ha ha, from its corner he, the same share of its population. and as residential concert its territory. what can we do about this noun? i've already said the restoring the soviet union would be pointless and possible for many reasons before and not even desirable. because on the selena, which make sense to you want the you as a saw communists back. elections have made that very clear. but to build a new state, a new russia, one which provides for the people, rather than uses them and at the same time, evoked the sort of respect that the soviet union did. while that scares russia's opponents, hooton's plan scares them. you know, i think the concern is that president putin's public lamentations and private lamentations about the demise of the soviet union have gotten on noisier and stronger over the years. so the concern is that he

union just coming out and i was not a soviet citizen. no, i mean, it was not the trade to be, but it was quite important was emotional for what? you're the obvious. you don't know how to, for millions of people until the be in the meeting. did they in the russian forest. you know, nobody really believed that this could have happened. there was, there were, i thought is if there were room or there were, but nobody really believed that the, they simply just like that the, the soviet union could be declared not, not, not existence anymore. we went to, i mean when i say we, i mean me and my, my for colleagues and my fellow who calling my federal journalist the friends, we went to the press conference in anger because we just suddenly, you know, with the tanks in the speed to we based or causing that outflow, the papers and by the other political parties. we were seeing again, that in the face of the soviet with which we thought was gone forever. and because of gorbachev, i, that's wrapping up the weekly for this hour here. we're not here to

and so there's no economy, sadly, you like the soviet union. my, my particular thing, i like to compare it to the roman empire because it does seem like, you know, we have the senate, we have the emperor, we had the army, we had the praetorian guard, we had the bread and circuses. we had a vast expanse, extending all over. they had their roman roads, we have the internet that we extended throughout the world. and last information was allowed to travel through inherent heretical information was allowed to travel down those roads. so when i look at this, i look at the, the fact that, you know, when the empire starts to retreat, when it starts to lose power at the edge, that's when all of the spectacle arrives. the room is of course left. you can go to room today and see all the amazing architecture and buildings and you know, all sorts of stuff that they created there, right? but the us will have, like, you know, we were the greatest show on earth. it was genuinely the greatest spectrum called the greatest show on earth. but unless you were there

we were very close doing you agreement between the soviet union and the united states. that would save a lot of lives and effort. you know, ga cannon wrote about it by the field because kennedy got killed and you know, all the people came to power. but in general, i think it should be the slogan. all the, they want to avoid another world war. we need to make the world safe for them and diversity georgia, that important thing is that for a stable, international order, all of the major stakeholders have to see the international order is being legitimate. but the ideology coming out of steroids now from the, by the administration is that, you know, if you do not participate in act in the international system as we deem then you weren't illegitimate after. and if you deem a major power like rush and china is not being legitimate than the order itself, can be legitimate because you're denying them being stakeholders. yes, and that's why the russians repeatedly emphasized the united nations charter and the united nations as a whole, as the very basis of the international syst

the great soviet union was the 2nd world power in most respects. although in some it was ahead of the united states, this country did not need to be rebuilt. it needed to be improved and moved forward . we strongly opposed gorbachev on his policy of perestroika. how to go, which often ruined the country where you've got, what you of gorbachev came to destroy the country. i was sure of that when people asked him the question, what is perestroika? he himself could not explain it. and so a man came and destroyed the country from the inside from the top of your throng, very much known. the gum in the market economy was one of the main aspects of perestroika. you think it was a mistake to replace the planned economy with the markets one yet those muslims cause i have to tell you, it wasn't the market economy. of course, capitalism is basically terrible system. capitalism assumes only a bunch of people can own the wealth of the country. the world is and the market economy. if it had been introduced as the ussr planned, it would have been wonderful. it wo

the, the, the prestige and the my, the soviet union just coming out and i was not a soviet citizen. no, i mean, it was not the trade, but it was quite important was emotional for what you're the, you know, had meant for millions of people until the be in the meeting. are they in the rush and forest? you know, nobody really believed that this could have happened. there was, there were, i thought as if there were more, there were, but nobody really believed that the, they simply just like that the, the soviet union could be declared not, not, not existence anymore. we went to, i mean when i say we, i mean me and my my for colleagues and my fellow calling my fellow journalist, the friends we went to the press conference, the names are because we just suddenly, you know, with the tanks in the speed to we based or causing that to outflow, the papers and the by the other political parties. we were seeing again that in the face of the soviet with which we thought was gone forever. and because of gorbachev, well, it's just what we managed. we then 2 by 28 minutes, but i'll t dot com has so

all of these are all of the countries that had been aligned with the soviet union. the was back and those who weren't aligned such as, you saw the scoop them all up with a native and scoop up all of the republics of the former soviet union, also within native that was always the goal. and so, but they use this ology of freedom and democracy to present it as if somehow these countries, you know, they want to be free on russian influence. you know, there are, you know, they're, they're fighting for freedom. and here we are, you know, the west coming to their assistance. but in reality, as the point though, you know, these are countries who have distinct histories, distinct the national interest of cultural relationships with russia. they don't have an interest in being scooped up within nato, which apart from anything else, is leading them into perilous conflict in georgia and the same. what does it prove to be in ukraine? i mean, it's never been thoughtfully explained, has been, you can want to have more transparent senior government. you want to have a government th

the soviet union still shapes our futures. and we spoke with a british, a story of soviet history. geoffrey roberts, he says the fall of the union game came as a global shock and was a catastrophe. for many people. did the collapse of the sub union agenda much, much, much was just one of the series of all of really shocking events that occurred in the previous several years. i mean, it was nothing to compare with the shock and full of berlin war and a handful of congress for easter eastern eastern europe. so it wasn't shock as it appears in retrospect. what you also have to remember is that there was kind of fake lease for the collab, so it wasn't clear that it was a, it was to promote kind of profound collapse, actually begun because his place then became this a come off of independence. nice. which of course doesn't exist. so there are some hopes that you would continue in some form in the form of this camp of an independent ice shot that effectively, that didn't happen. it was not until 1992 that it became clear just how ra

base, the soviet union into invading afghanistan to give the soviet union its own vietnam. so it basically was a trap that was set by the americans, which was a successful trap. but of course here we are more than 40 years later. and just to show how insidious the american policy was, how much lack of foresight just a couple months before the americans started spending a lot of money to the merger, dean in afghanistan to the this is, lemme islamic fighters. and then the american ambassador was kidnapped by these very same groups and murdered. and we have the same thing repeated self and leave a few years back in history. but it runs absolutely, absolutely. but the blindness to this and the conviction of their, of our, of our own superiority, right? that no matter what happens, which we're going to prove ourselves right. it really is startling and how had stunning right in how amazing this can be. right? i mean, you, your bass it or is killed you with this policy. as far as i remember my history, lessons of the soviet leadership wasn't really eager to get engaged, at least i

the soviet union still shapes our futures. we spoke to him a hail threat fire, he lives in estonia, but it was never made of citizen off at the collapse of the u. s. s. r. he told us about the struggles russian speakers can face these days. it's also near she doesn't, you mother was like a lot of his sons have always held high positions and after a stone, again, its independence. all arch enterprises were brought to bankruptcy by any means over . all the russians who worked there did not speak stone in and were fired. and while they were learning hist on in there, people took all the vacant place. my mother tried and learned the language, but even she with higher education, had to work as a cleaner. they called after independence language categories appeared in estonia, language inspection body was active and rates on schools and other institutions began. those identified that were laid off their ra russian speak in civil servants, but they tend not to be further up in the highest government circles. russian speakers can vote

the soviet union still shapes off futures. after the soviet union fell, low, people gained certain freedoms but lost out in other ways. a v h a slap on crat off moved to latvia back in 1965, but has been unable to obtain citizenship ever since he told us that life seemed better in the u. s. sr. i moved to latvia from the russian, the pat screeching in 1965, and have lived here ever since. that time it was good fun and people have life to the full ever was good natured and cheerful. and it felt as if there were some kind of future when more comfortable than under soviet rule. then of course there was the referendum to leave the usaa on people voted for it. we're here from then on. we were divided into citizens and non citizens. those who lived in not feel before 1940 wednesday grant assistantship, and those who came later went on citizens. if you're not granted citizenship, then you do not have the right to occupy certain positions in government structures . they introduced the state examination commissioner language, which che

and you know, we're dueling, roman empire, soviet union, empire, remember in the soviet union collapsed. you had, and whole generation of men essentially die from alcoholism. here you've got a whole generation of americans that are set to die from o. b t addiction thanks to the collapse of the american empire which could have been avoided. i don't think it can because the entropy always that then whatever the system is, what ever system in history throughout nature, entropy always gets it in the end. so that's the inevitable lety. it has to happen and these are just the fines that we're looking at that. but just like the business cycle, like you, the notion is the essential banks believe they convince themselves that they could do something to stop it. because who likes the business cycle, who likes to put the neighborhood shop out of business, who likes the destruction of capital like that. but it has to happen because that's . c the cycle of life, and so let's turn to the cycle of this business, the business cycle applied to the media industry. so we cover the fact that their ratings

and, you know, we're doing roman empire, soviet union, empire, remember, and the soviet union collapsed. you had a whole generation of men essentially die from alcoholism. here you've got a whole generation of americans that are set to die from opiate addiction, thanks to the collapse of the american empire which could have been avoided. i don't think it can because the entropy resets and whatever the system is, what adverse system in history throughout nature, entropy always gets it in the end. so that's the inevitable. it has to happen, and these are just the signs that we're looking at that look just like the business cycle, like you. the notion is essential banks believe they convince themselves that they could do something to stop it because who likes the business cycle, who likes to put the neighborhood shop out of business, who likes the destruction of capital like that. but it has to happen because that's . c the cycle of life, and so let's turn to the cycle of this business, the business cycle applied to the media industry. so we cover the fact that their ratings have collapsed

the soviet union collapsed with america. that doesn't work. and bureaucracy works on the spectacle industry. so everything is outrages spectacle and it's covered by the spectacle news. and so when you remove the spectacle, you essentially are doing a rug, paul, there's nothing left there. you know that the curtain falls in, it's just an empty theater, and there's nobody in the audience. and so there's no economy. sadly, you like the soviet union, my, my particular thing, i like to compare it to the roman empire because it does like, you know, we had the senate, we had the emperor, we had the army, we had the praetorian guard, we had the bread and circuses. we had a vast expanse, extending all over. they had their roman roads, we have the internet that we extended throughout the world and thus information was allowed to travel through inherit heretical information was allowed to travel down those roads. so when i look at this, i look at the, the fact that, you know, when the empire starts to retreat, when it starts to lose power at the edge. th

but it also failed the former soviet union. i mean, the idea that america, george a demon, it's all right. the idea that western interference can help you more chrissy is absolutely counterproductive. glenn decent shows it very well in his article at the opinion website. basically, the majority of the russians on law for her last or even phone, or, you know, most kids, the least for your person. there are looking for someone who could replace shackle and preserve with russia. someone like barber eco, but the west, the narrative is out in only 200 k, you know, the, that's the problem with, with the area and i would just, they have only one candidate. they have only bonds, wary. and you know, so that out in d colonels, that's very productive when dance economy was working badly when you have a role in the money and outside interference is in lockets relations. and that's exactly what happened in bell or was in your grain because western influences, that's what happened in russia regarding what have step down from the political sc

it could be a legacy of a fast, and maybe it was a self haven't cultivated in the soviet union. you know, i, i recall my family and they were papa simple people. my, my dad will gladly my mom. they didn't speak that using slogans do, but i remember very well he while at home actually i did in the brown one as we discussed kids, some issues, some problems, i remember them, they were always sexually imagine, always assume upon our use know maybe simple words, but through as you think they would see, discuss later and speak with yet that you catch up with a book respect for creative when they spoke with of their constraint. and that wasn't sasha just for show nashik him yearbook, they looked intimately believed that they soon was or what they believe, what our family believed. don't wish to me, but i was college. and i think that i have the right to say pretty near catch, that these positive quality is lukea rowley or being cultivated asian. but in the vast majority of con, our author, it, russian families was actually found in the families of other peoples of the soviet union. you

the, the collapse of the soviet union is don't political leadership. and that is a joke, is the main person who bears responsibility. one of the reasons why he was so unsuccessful was he attended economic, economic, and political reform at the same time. and the other thing was that he had anatomy . but as your listen and they fell out, they hated one another. now had years and go bunch of work together. so would you probably been with us today? so we had to reform that those reforms are absolutely necessary. the gorbachev is working on 2 fonts, one to reform the soviet union inside, and also to reform its relations with the capitalist world. and he tried his efforts there failed because of the inability of the united states in russia. the union then russia to, to come to terms we'll say that see in the pay state space, the number of conflicts and what they're not going to carry back from touch cheapest on to for example, kicks on is back. is dante, do you think that we would have seen those kinds of disputes if the u. s. a saw, had remained a whole th

i in fact, then you know what you call constraints that were imposed by the soviet union. and the other example of gas done, i mean, the idea that you should educate goals before boys, you know, it just didn't go down and stuff and he couldn't, but there is no so, so, i mean, 20 years, the longest, warren american history americans are leaving. they're going to stop and i don't hear a war of self criticism. what did we do? or all, it's all about. the table are guns, you know, there are they, you can't, you know, they are unable to. so it's, it is the same story. again. i told you said the board 0 sum game and all the sites is very important because, you know, we are trying to find out why is the situation so bad in europe? i mean, it's no worse than a 1989 or even in 1987. why did it happen? well, because of george be right. you're right in his article. it's a big wall, the importer, somebody most american foreign policy article published in the national interest. in fact, clinton even clinton and george bush with more so supported university of instead of diversity. that
