pressure, gradual removal , in the sixteenth year we were not allowed in the day before departure, they said the flight was cancelled, when the plane was already waiting, almost our entire team was standing, then it went to beijing, where the guys were already allowed there, they were given the opportunity to feel the sports grounds, and roughly speaking, they kicked me out of there, the reason was, the reason was doping and the international anti-doping organization, you know, collective removal is well... also unfair, in the sixteenth year we managed to talk with the head of the international paralympic committee philip cravin was a briton, just a briton, when he headed this organization, to find out what the true reason was why our paralympic athletes were then suspended from the games, let's see, we called just from a representative of the supposedly american anti-doping organization, so he thought that communicates with his own, but how do russians cooperate?

understands that the russians will not be allowed in until they accept all the rules, until they show that they are a pure nation, not pure athletes, but a pure nation, and you and i we fight on the same side, this is a fight, and we will fight, and we will fight well , and we will win, he is sir philip kraven, i would of course take this away from him, now i think no one ... respects him anymore, yes , i must say that

this man is already retired, now another head of the international paralympic committee, but the essence has not changed and the standards have not changed, it was he who just removed, started this whole thing, the most interesting thing is this man, a wheelchair user, who should look after the interests of the disabled, but it turns out that he is ours sunk the national team, but how is the participation of paralympians in international sports competitions now? complete neutrality, no symbols, no flags, and what does selective mean, that is , our russian paralympic committee can participate or is it some private individuals who can simply come no, that is athletes who travel with sponsorship funds. in general, the organization

itself, the international olympic committee , the paralympic was organized later, and well, accordingly, the same wada, we need to generally look at what kind of organizations these are, these supranational organizations, which are not accountable to any state in the world, they themselves decide what to do with those money that they earn, the idea was brilliant at one time, but to put it mildly... the goals that guided pierre decoubertin, and the goals that guide the present the international olympic committee, like the paralympic committee in other ways, they differ, well , it’s almost like black and white, the goals of these organizations are to make money through sports, including attempts to exclude some sports that still existed... during the organization itself the first olympics

say that money is at the forefront, but these decisions are extrapolated again through those financial corporations that stand at the heart of moka’s wealth, who controls these financial corporations, in order to then dictate, now they are already controlled by political figures, they are... multinational, they do not belong to any country, that’s who influences them, the most important question is, first of all, the white house, and secondly, it’s the people, who are involved, well , there is this european development bank , development reconstruction, there is through manhattan, which has also been international for a long time, there is a french one, which... is also no longer

french, there is, well, for a long time they did not want to take money from swiss corporations in the end, the swiss opened the banks, so to speak. the accounts that they had opened during the second world war, that is, they showed fascist money, and after that they established relationships not only with samoranch and with the international olympic committee when samoranch was its president. financially , the international olympic committee is the world's richest non-profit organization. during the summer olympic years. you understand that the cost of holding the summer olympics itself is crazy money, and you the olympics does not lie on the shoulders

of dollars, depending on the location of the international olympic committee, all expenses are covered by the city, it is not the country, the host city, another thing is that in some cities... the state budget supports the holding of the olympic games, in others it does not, you know, i will probably speak more as an athlete, it all started, it seems to me, long before sochi, we will never forget salt city, 2002, when it was probably like this, now we understand, it was the first one scandalous, the dirtiest, with two sets of olympic gold... the first and last time, i would like, was when they were just killing us all, they didn’t want to give us anything in principle, and it seems to me that it all started at the beginning of 2000, when these olympics had already turned into a business, and we

understood that there was no longer clean sport, it was unlikely to exist in the near future, what happened next, when even regarding doping, even if you don’t take... the olympic games in general, we they torture, wow, how, and how often can they really, like this check, i’m talking specifically about myself, 2002 and even 2000, right before the competition in moscow, i was visited in moscow every week, that is, i clearly understood, yeah, today is wednesday, today they will come, that is, this here is surveillance, and this is also psychological pressure, you understand, yes, when you are a leader in your sport... and you understand that you are interfering with america, interfering, they begin to slowly push you by any means so that you psychologically, what he said, he said, not pure athletes, but a pure nation, nation, of course, and i say, and this began long before sochi, that is, they had already begun to prepare

the site for destruction, let’s say, but in general from the point of view of an international sports functionary, these are the words, if he put it that way. and without any resistance from the international olympic committee, and this causes, well, such hostility, no one has plunged their face into this shit yet, because the international olympic committee established wada, and then wada became an independent

private organization, and now it dictates rules of the international olympic committee , here’s a cool example, remember, we had a wonderful tennis player... god bless the beauty masha sharapova, her doping scandal based on taking meldonium, there are eight more analogues of meldonium, it’s just that meldonium is the cheapest and was produced in latvia, well , they banned it, but the rest didn’t, and the rest didn’t, but they banned it not because it’s so harmful, it’s still a reducing agent, but because they knew that russian tennis players were its...

i gave this example just to say, well, with slight worries, but i understand, why do you think that they don’t take doping pills in germany? in spain or in the united states of america in norway, skiers in norway, skiers are all asthmatics , just take anyone. how many times olympic champion? the range of prohibited drugs is determined by vada. the number of illegal drugs is growing all the time. it is almost impossible for a non-specialist to keep track of this. what else was new that was banned in addition to what was already banned, this time, and then you

understand that if you represent wada a certificate stating that you have a disease for treatment, for which you need to take such and such a drug, then vada gives you personal permission, that is, the presence of waste of this drug in the blood is not punishable by disqualification, it is impossible to be meaner than them. but we need to be smarter, an interesting message recently appeared in the media from our foreign intelligence service that the united states will use the head of the wada organization as such a battering ram in relation to our friendship games, the united states will in every possible way interfere with these games, we could not help but to respond to these messages, and we decided to find out from vitold banka himself what he thinks about the case with kamilla valieva, about how he will work in relation to russia and how he will counteract the games of friendship,

and we called on behalf of one of the politicians from africa, who is supposedly very sympathetic and could, in adi and is also ready to help in the fight against russia, is supposedly their supporter. hello, your excellency. hello, i'm glad to see you, dear mr. president, thank you for your time. but the reason i wanted talk to you about the anti-doping initiative that you put forward, specifically in relation to legislation, this concerns the case that happened recently in kas, the case of a russian athlete who had doped in the past, we completely agree with this. thank you very much, i think it is very important to discuss this. in normal countries there are no politicians who resort to funds. the media and say: no, no, she is not guilty at all, initially expressing confidence in her. this is what the kremlin did

in the case of valieva. after this scandal, this decision to punish the russian figure skater, i took the initiative to start a discussion of this issue, but this is not only a discussion, it is an incentive to change the law, and i think that this is how we should treat it. why did they get to the bottom of valieva and... they don’t lag behind, they don’t understand that she has no equal, and how long, this same investigation has been carried out for a very long time, how much has passed a year, they have been investigating this whole story, so that now , so much the better, well, just in anticipation olympic games , a war has been waged against russia in figure skating for a very long time, now that we have completely taken over this sport, of course, we don’t like it, it’s simply impossible to defeat us in other... ways, well, they have a reverse example, gotcha merian jones doped,

the medal was taken away, but the united states, the national olympic committee of the united states, stood up, involving all the media, there, whoever was not convicted in the merian jones case, except merian herself. by the way, it is worth noting that they a special law was adopted. this is a law that prosecutes those people who, as they believe, are involved in doping, all over the world, all over the world, it is extraterritorial, if suddenly americans are participating in some competition somewhere, they thought that this or that coach or a doctor, they participated in one way or another, then these people may be subject to some kind of persecution. let me amuse you, it means that vada has existed for more than 20

years; in the ninety-second year, at the olympics in barcelona , ​​a team took part in the men's basketball tournament, which called dream team, made up of professional basketball players. nba, then there are professional basketball players not only in america, then professional basketball players began to take part in the basketball tournament. and at the olympics. vada declared team united states of america. and about the fact that he was going to take doping tests from the agent, the main person in the nba was still david stern. he had a conversation with the president of the international olympic committee, in which they agreed: “you don’t touch us, and we are participating in the olympics and you make money from us. otherwise, we won’t participate in the olympics, we

don’t need it. and since then, the us basketball team, both men's and women's, at the olympics... vada does not touch, they do not take doping tests, that is, from this law that you just said, that it is extraterritorial, there is already an exception, but if you’ll remember who the doping scandals started with, it’s non-figure skating, it’s weightlifting, the bulgarians disqualified us, and then for the company of the iranians, that’s because we compete. couldn't, good list, well the russian olympic committee in the organization could have now suspended participation . russia is holding its friendship games, these are international competitions where essentially everyone can take part. and so we decided to ask mr. banka what he thinks about these events in general; he asked you about

the world friendship games that will be held in russia. i know that some of our athletes. i think you know that at the last olympic summit, which was held by the international olympic committee in lausanne, there was a clear position that the international the olympic committee urged national olympic committees not to participate. the same appeal was made to international sports federations. so what can we do? we can contact them again and encourage them to avoid participating. we can express our concerns, we can make a statement, but from a political point of view, i'm not sure. will we stop the russians and force them not to hold these games? this is more of a political issue, so to speak,

so we must express our concerns. and of course i think that africa.

don’t ask about ukraine, and he also has his own opinion on this matter, about this right after the advertisement.

memorial day, tomorrow is the first, with the whole country, this is the show of vaan and lexus, and we continue, let's watch a video where vitald banko talks about his attitude towards ukraine. i think you understand the situation perfectly. this is a very broad topic, a very complex topic,

but there are definitely some visions and opinions that russia will not stop and will go after other european countries. as you explained beautifully, sports are sometimes good a tool to spread.

was offended, glory to ukraine, because this is a slogan, this is the slogan of a certain organization because the poles were killed there, no, he liked it, that is, he doesn’t know his history, and even worse, if he knows it, that’s also true, even worse, well, this just shows that vada and other organizations, if they try to claim that they are outside politics, this is just a lie, i would just like to... suggest listening to the video one where he says about our athletes who will go to these friendship games, about our russian olympic committee, what does it think about

this? you know how difficult the situation is now, when the russian olympic committee of russia has been suspended, so only neutral athletes from russia who oppose the war will participate in the olympic games as neutral athletes, this creates tension.

we will not work publicly because it could cause a lot of speculation, it could lead to different conversations from the russian side about what we should do in your opinion? we need to talk to other african leaders, convince them not to participate in these games, so as not to create opposition to the olympic games. so, at first glance, this is what i think from my side. what can we do, and as i said, as wada was able to do together for us from the very beginning, it is clear that this event is not credible and we will not take any

part there, and we urge interested parties to refuse participation, i can repeat it again, but you know to be heard, we need leaders like you, more influential political leaders like... who can express their views with others, then i think together we can change the situation, as far as he is afraid, we will actually have a better time , than there, everyone will move to us, in general there is a lot of such, such nonsense that it really bothers me, where are the actions that could have been taken against athletes of the united states, when belgrade was bombed, when iraq was bombed, well, big here. the list is actually this absolutely nothing was done from the word at all, the story with rusada was that we were accused of a state

doping program.

11 commissions, on these commissions there are people who really understand what is useful, what is harmful, side effects, everything else, without the conclusion of these people , drugs will not be banned, but these people are influenced by the companies that put them there, you see, here i am i started with this, i 'll end with this, there must be rules, there must be,

but... okay, we have to stop this, or at least actually make these games extremely insignificant, if they want, they can organize their domestic championships only for russian athletes, but not as a counterweight to the olympic games, we must unite as leaders, sports leaders, political leaders, we must stop them from ruining the olympic games or at least , create discord and chaos.

as now in our conversation, you understand what’s going on, he was the one who was furious, it’s most likely that all the figures are exhausted and furious, it’s quite possible that they were engaged members. national the olympic committees are furious, you understand, the selection for the olympic games in paris, the national olympic committees will give this to the national federations for olympic sports, they will hold, here, let’s say, the united states of america is fielding four female sprinters at a distance of 100-200 and four posts and relay races, the fifth sixth, which will not go to paris,

the sport of foreign politics, we hope that our friendship games will become an example of this motto. thank you for watching us, we 'll see you soon.

in russian history of the 19th century it happened. two pavlovich, first alexander pavlovich , alexander i, then nikolai pavlovich , nicholas i, i would call them, you know, two political fluxes on opposite sides, nikolai pavlovich was forced from the very first days of his reign to deal primarily with internal affairs, this period, the period of his reign alexander i, this is... the peak of russia’s authority in the international arena. yes, under alexander, according to pushkin from the tenth chapter of eugene onegin. we found ourselves in paris, and the russian tsar became the king of kings. hello, this is a historical podcast, russia-west

swing of history. pyotr romanov and sergei solovyov are with you, today we are talking about alexander i. historians at the end of the reign of alexander pavlovich, and the reign. this is a quarter of a century from 1801 to 1825, they gave him very different characteristics, some called him an abstract liberal, some a political altruist, some a religious conservative, and in my opinion everyone was right, just at certain stages some character traits. he was dominated, and at the same time there was no splitting of personality, somehow it was somehow i managed to coexist, perhaps this is the legacy of my grandmother catherine, who

once said that i would get along very well, in athens, in sparta, somewhere in two completely different cities, and the same thing happened with alexander pavlovich..

.. from his weakness, you understand what the matter

is, if, of course, we approach it , let's say, he did not punish his father to be killed, he did not carry out the necessary reforms on time, did not dare to take them, probably, he can be called weak, but on the other hand, well, listen, during the war of 1812, this same man showed character, correctly, he did not sign peace with napoleon, even after occupying moscow. that’s right, he didn’t run away from st. petersburg, didn’t run away from st. petersburg, his relatives, his mother , including, wanted to run away, he insisted on staying, he showed a certain courage, because at that moment, after the burning of moscow, well, there is witnesses recount an episode when he was going to church, the people stood gloomily, absolutely, silently, and he, he felt it, rejection, rejection, so to speak, he experienced it all. and he withstood it, here we need to remember the episode associated with

a palace coup, with the murder of his father, because alexander himself knew about the coup , that he was preparing, and he actually gave it a sanction, so he actually did not punish his father to be killed, there was such a small episode, but very characteristic, when napoleon shot the duke of enghien, yes, yes, bourbon, who was kidnapped from a neighboring state. so alexander, since russia was not independent at that time, had not yet fought with france, reacted very harshly to this, they put out a diplomatic note that napoleon answered, so to speak, truly slapped simply, he said that if your imperial majesty knew that the killer of your father was a couple of kilometers from your border, didn’t you really take all measures to capture them, despite the fact that all of europe knew that the killer of alexander i’s father is in st. petersburg in its environs, so alexander, of course, then perhaps slid into position.

with napoleonic soldiers, he also demonstrated, perhaps not because of some personal courage, because of some of his already mysticism, because after the war of 812 this very drastic change took place in him, but he believed in some kind of divine providence, in his special mission, and stood very often and more than once this happened, under cannonballs, falling next to nim cores, they begged him. to leave, he said that no, he

was also somehow a coward, he can’t be a coward, he can’t, he can’t , after all, if we talk about slyness, it manifested itself, in my opinion, in the story of asperansky, who turned out to be called upon to be a prominent reformer, whom klyuchevsky called the second reformer after the order nashchekin, a 16th-century reformer in the russian hierarchy of politicians who stood at the throne.

he already disagreed with many things, well, he is also known for this phrase that if you shout there, because at some point napoleon threw his cocked hat there and almost began to trample on it, played hysterical, well, played hysterical , played a prank, he knew how to do it, he did it, yes, yes, yes, yes, he was actually a cold-blooded

person, so no, it was such a prank, but alexander responded to this, accordingly, if you do so continue then, well i i’ll just leave and... for the war of 812 there are several, but of course, the most important, probably, is the issue of the continental blockade, but it should probably be explained that this was napoleon’s policy to ban trade with great britain, which was supposed to undermine british power, the ban on europe controlled by napoleon to trade with

great britain, which was supposed to undermine british power and bow britain to the french emperor, because napoleon's main enemy from the very beginning of his career. but it turned out that since for russia trade with great britain was extremely important.

appointed commander of the russian army against the turks, let me remind you, before the war of the twelfth year, yes, she managed to defeat the turks in the eleventh year in two battles, and napoleon then sadly stated that the turks had a talent for being beaten, yes, kutuzov ended the war in a month, in may he was peace has been signed, yes.
