on the air of a special analytical edition of the big game, we will now talk with sergei aleksandrovich karaganov, a man who is known as a great expert, a great authority on international relations, especially when it comes to international security.

including in one generation , the european elites unleashed two world wars, now they, having failed in almost all directions, are trying to create a pre-war situation, have already created a pre-war situation in order to justify their losses and distract from their failures, and some of them are already truly failing, inside they want war, this is quite obvious, never...

the structure of the american armed forces, how the united states should act in relation to the soviet union, invited people with different points of view, in general -they tried to have serious discussions, among others in congress , the long-term chairman of the senate committee on international affairs was actively involved in this. joe biden, i

don’t see anything like that anymore, i don’t hear anything like that, they gather there from time to time these committees and blame each other, or praise or blame the administration, depending on their party affiliation, well, i don’t know a single meeting of numerous congressional committees.

i hardly see those people, there are only remnants there, but still in the united states of america, despite your understandable indignation as a person who lived a significant part of his life in america, the level of strategic understanding is much higher, judging at least from the literature, than in europe, in europe it simply doesn’t exist anymore, it’s even below the floor, there it’s just there is nothing, but as for concerns, i’m watching carefully. discussions regarding the possibility of a nuclear clash between russia and the united states of america recorded that at the meeting last year, the position began to change there, at first they said, what do you mean now in washington, yes in washington, yes the position began to change, that is

to say, it is fixed , well, according to the huge flow of quite authoritative opinions from publications, until last spring they said that...

two said that nuclear war is no worse than global warming, this is insanity, this is the first, second, the americans are still playing

so that a war may break out in europe, without the us getting carried away, but i don’t think, after all, that they are now hesitating to launch these sick people missiles, to which russia can respond, by the way, with strikes on american bases, which we have already warned about, and in general must be taken into account, i don’t know whether mr. blinken, so to speak, takes this into account with his mental outlook, that the americans, well, approximately 100 times more vulnerable than russia, russia can strike a huge number of american targets outside the territory of the united states of america. and therefore there is a very difficult game there, and of course, in america they do not want to provoke a situation that would escalate into a nuclear war between the united states and russia, well, firstly, it will really lead to disaster, and secondly, because russia including,

if some games start about this, god forbid, now there are quite big strategic advantages, i hope that - there are still people in america who will stop the idiots, my problem is that although...

they will become natural targets for the russian armed forces. do you think that

the united states underestimates the possibility of a very serious response to russia if america embarks on this next dangerous round of escalation? well, firstly, some groups of nato military personnel are already working.

this is already an indicator, so to speak, i think we need to go faster and i urge our

government, i don’t go faster, because i see that a world war is coming not only because of this western hysteria, but because of many other shifts in the world system, so we need to stop it, what to do, i will not push the president of our country. you can still take a few more steps along this escalation ladder to try

to prevent the transition to a purely military level, but i’m afraid that from the assessment of the situation and the assessment of the level of political leaders of europe and the united states of america, especially europe, that this is at the level of threats and warnings. they should be more serious and now they are becoming more serious, it won’t work, i’m afraid that the matter will have to be transferred to...

something similar happened on several levels, so the answer is very simple, then there will be a second wave of attacks on european countries, and if you continue to listen, there will be a third wave of attacks on american bases in europe, nuclear strikes, tens of thousands of americans will die, and by the way, tens of thousands more americans will die at bases in other countries of the world, which they have scattered throughout world, i don’t want... this to happen, but we are heading towards a world war, so uh, before me, as an expert and before our leaders, there is probably a question, this is a terrible moral choice, but maybe if we don’t if we do, then we will doom ourselves and the world to defeat, who else but us? if you

disagree with my interpretation of what you are saying, correct me immediately. but i am closely following your statements, i remember very well your dialogue with president putin at the valdai forum a few months ago, i got the impression that you are not calling russia for a world war, quite the contrary, that you are saying that in order to avoid a unilateral escalation by the west, which... could ultimately force russia to take more risks than necessary today, precisely in the name of this is why, in order to have convincing deterrence, you are proposing your rather tough program. i would clarify that i agree with your interpretation of what i write and

do and say, both publicly and not publicly, with only a few amendments. first, and i i believe that russia is faced with the task of preventing a major war in europe, which is about to begin, and a major world war, which could begin not only in europe, since hotbeds are flaring up all over the world, shifted tectonic plates under the world system will create even more hotbeds such conflicts that can merge, as for the specific situation,

the question now is, i understand what difficulties our leadership is experiencing, it’s terrible to launch a first nuclear strike, but also it’s worse not to inflict it, realizing that there is an abyss behind it, so it’s better, maybe, to wait a little while, fight and...

when i listened to your dialogue with president putin, i got the impression that the president, unlike you and me, i am the supreme commander in chief, and not a free expert who is able and even obliged to express his points of view without worrying too much about the consequences. so, i had the feeling that the president, on the one hand , said that sergei alexandrovich, you can maybe a little too hasty, we already have it.

escalation by the west cannot be allowed, do you think that over the past months the president, looking at... the events, responding to the events that are happening in ukraine, around ukraine, more definitely formulates that he will not allow a unilateral escalation by the west, and i’m almost sure in this, but naturally, i do not have the honor of the pleasure of talking about this with vladimir vladimirovich, and even more so, if i did, i would not report it to you, yes, of course, yes, but i’m not talking, i’m not into it i can believe it. i do, but i didn’t speak, and he doesn’t speak to me, thank god, which means that since i then retain relative freedom of expression, i am absolutely sure,

even at the level of intuition, i know what the next steps will be, already several steps in polesen, his escalation was done, in particular these wonderful exercises, i think 90 9% there will be changes in the nuclear doctrine in ours, which...

yes, because this is not, a war is being waged with ukraine, it is being waged in ukraine, but the war is going on with the collective west, in my opinion, they already have

some mechanisms begin with blind inertia, they have simply lost the ability to understand what they say and what they do, on the other hand, i have more and more. their citizens, their voters, might be horrified by what is happening, and so was i when

i came to the united states. my description of the possibilities that the collective west has very large, of course, human resources, economic resources, but if you want, in moral and political terms, they are not ready for a serious confrontation, of course, they are not ready, but the elites, i repeat, they have been greatly upgraded, and some of them

are located especially in europe. well, in a half-crazy situation from endless failures and a lack of understanding of what to do, plus this new ideological wave has rolled in, which simply changes the mentality, we are not dealing with europeans, we are dealing with some new people, of course there there are people left in europe, but they are still... either because of total propaganda, or because they do not yet understand what threatens them, and have not yet stood up to fight for their own fundamental interests, but then you will have to hammer into the heads of the elites, unfortunately the population, that their elites are leading them to slaughter, just as i

was leading the people to slaughter. europe and the usa in the thirteenth year after that, i didn’t even talk to them anymore, when they were planning this whole story with the association, with the involvement of ukraine in the eu, and then of course in nato, i told them that you understand that you you condemn the people to millions of victims, everyone looked at their ends.

so the french, they can’t fight, so it seems to me that they just don’t understand how it is dangerous for them to incur the wrath of the russian people, this is true, but i slightly disagree with you, dmitry, in my assessments, we allowed them

to count on a long war. death, and not only to ukraine, the american elites are, to one degree or another, ready to sacrifice europe, just as they have already sacrificed ukraine, throwing its people into a meat grinder, but the europeans need to be beaten, they will have to, i’m afraid to beat the mind with hard means, i hope not the hardest, there is an ongoing

election campaign in america, but if... according to them, someone unknown to us, just dealt several crushing blows, american society is absolutely not ready for this, and it seems to me that this is the achilles heel of the american elite in the clash with

russia, of course, we simply do not take it into account, i know that this is, unfortunately, some mistake of ours, i don’t think that this mistake is shared by the senior leadership, but a significant part... is that russia and the united states of america will not move to a situation of direct confrontation. but you said that the united states is pursuing

a rather risky policy in asia, and now literally now came to power, a new president of taiwan was elected,

would be drawn into a long european war and at the same time provoke china into war until it received complete naval superiority, and then equality in strategic forces or almost equality with the united states of america. 2-3 years ago there were already episodes, remember the saws, there were some other congressmen who quite obviously provoked china to unleash.

ta taiwan and the south china sea and were discussed between our two presidents, however, i don’t know, from my point of view, if we agreed, then i think that the chinese will have another 2-3 years to build up their power, and we will have free hands in what we will do to stop.

is changing very quickly in our direction, another thing is that we have to pay for it, it

will continue to change, but it is necessary, now, after all, foreign policy is not a science and it is an art, now we need to choose the moment when the pendulum will come to his senses decisively in our direction, then if we will have to strike, maybe if we strike...

thank you, we are leaving for advertising, and i promise that we will invite sergei alexandrovich in the near future to talk about too modest.

it’s difficult for the russian elite, on the centenary of boris vasiliev, after all, the women are at war, they all volunteer, shoot, rita, boyman’s target, fire, yes, i can’t take it off, comrade, send me to the front line. while you are shaking up your little boats, he will make a sieve out of you, so i categorically order you to lie down. okay, then how? that war there is not. i can not do it anymore. now i'll go and shoot. the germans have one way, between these lakes through the ridge. and eternal battle, we only dream of peace. the ozori are quiet here on saturday

first. the enemy, armed to the teeth , is moving in our direction; we can’t expect help from anywhere. therefore, i order all the soldiers and myself personally to hold the front. this week, may 20, roman kartsev would have turned 85 years old. well, the fish is fresh, alive, what, well, so alive, so alive. the parents of comedian roman kartsev were categorically against him marriage to... kasinskaya, they were horrified that she was a dancer in the carde ballet, small, thin, 47 kg, in my opinion, he weighed with the bed, bought things in the children's world. viktor ilchenko lived with his wife tatyana for 33 years, and with me for 30 years, he joked on roman kartsakh. tatyana, admit it, when did you fall in love? one day tatyana was introduced as such, ilchenko’s wife kartsova. tomada was misha zhvanetsky, he gave the wedding.

why are you here and not with your father on the ship? oh yes, theater, the reds will come, art. at the same time, yes, this is a mulya, tell me, you are ranevskaya, yes, i’m ranevskaya, i haven’t experienced anything on my own skin, the war passed her by, look at this face, exceptional, there are many great directors, but

there can only be one great meeting, i’ll challenge this crony, they love you, serious, smart man. and you’re making faces, marital status, what are you saying, i have a husband, no, i’m a young lady, without a family, without children, but art is devoted to thunder, you are a brilliant, dramatic actress, and the whole world will know about it, ranevskaya from monday, on the first, happy birthday to whom? lev nikolaevich tolstoy, special on air analytical edition of the big game. now we will talk with a special correspondent in

washington, kommersant newspaper, ekaterina, a regular participant in our program. welcome thank you for taking the time. hello, dmitry, thank you. when i - read the news from the united states, i get the feeling that two things are happening: first, uh, political, melee related to the election campaign, second, a collective loss of sanity. from the american foreign policy elite, i'll start with the foreign policy elite, because it has the most direct relation to the interests of russia. i am reading an appeal from a group of congressmen, members of the house, representatives from both the republican and

democratic parties, a truly bipartisan group, which calls for allowing president zelensky... although he is no longer a full-fledged president, proposes allowing him to strike with american weapons in ukraine, an article appeared in the new york times, their very knowledgeable chief white house correspondent david sanger, who talks about that secretary of state anthony blincon visited kiev. and the bad news from the fronts made such a strong impression on him that he, too, seems to be beginning to incline to the idea that kiev should be allowed to carry out strikes on traditional russian territory, you know, as for strikes on donbass and crimea, this has already

been recognized by the american administration as permitted for kiev, when we speak...

there are two trends, such centrifugal forces in american politics, and the first and foremost of them is, of course, election race, and if we look now at what is happening on the fronts, it was not quite correctly mentioned that only in ukraine, but also what is happening now with israel, and what is happening with public opinion and potential. with china, which in principle may exist, and which the american military does not exclude, all these are such negative minuses in the treasury of foreign policy interaction of the current administration and everything will depend on

what opinion and what heads will be dominant in this interaction, what this can happen, it certainly can happen, and we know that the american administration has been so gradually moving through the protective red lines that the russian federation has put up. another thing is that allowing strikes on russian territory, it will not do any additional things, will not give any additional benefits to either america or ukraine, it is quite obvious that russian air defense will shoot down such missiles, and the civilian population will suffer from this, and let’s remember that recently vladimir zelensky gave an interview... stated that he is not at all against if the air defenses of the allied countries shoot up missiles over the territory of ukraine,

this will also bring the same deaths to civilians on the territory of ukraine, that is , civilians may suffer from shrapnel, then , that unfortunately, now the american administration, you know, when the car. doesn’t work, and the person continues to put pressure on this brake, it seems to me that the same situation is here, they just can’t come to the realization that they are losing and doing even those steps that, on the one hand, are inadequate, will only bring harm to american diplomacy itself, on the other hand, well, the russian federation will have absolutely objective arguments.

this does not mean that president biden has completely lost his healthy mind, but in general, if you look at the direction in which the administration is going, it is, to put it mildly, irresponsible and dangerous. i don’t agree with you on one thing, that these american long-range missiles, or american f-16s, are

from the states, because i don’t see a serious

discussions in america. how can russia respond and what will the united states do in that situation, will it go for further escalation, biden says that he does not want a world war, or they will swallow it and run away from there, like they ran away from afghanistan, from vietnam, you have a feeling that this kind of discussion is being conducted in the congressional administration or...

from the democrats, we see that american society is such a forward movement, it is disappointed in the situation in ukraine, more than half of the population, now americans, they note that their financial condition has become much worse than it was under trump, and we know that the economy is the main driver there, the economy and the cost of fuel. gas stations, this is the main driver for winning elections, yes, this is the main argument, so do not understand that the deepening of the conflict, additional spending from the american budget, multi-billion dollar, which already exceeds the spending of entire ministries in the american government, of course, they cannot

but raise questions on both sides, behind closed doors, in principle, during discussions in congress, this is absolutely obvious, they are not only afraid of a russian victory, they are rather afraid of defeat in their own elections due to an incorrect foreign policy, in which they need to save face, now they are looking for approaches on how to save this face, that is if i understand you correctly, they are less afraid -

and secondly, seriously think about how to deal with this, and how to convince them that the survival of america is really at stake, and if they have any instinct, self-preservation, well, we are already close to that point, the last point when they can connect this instinct, self-preservation, to their decision-making process, thank you very much, it’s always interesting to thank you, but before i let you go, does trump bother or not, i mean in the last process in new york, i think, i think that everything will be fine with trump, especially since this is new york, and not federal prosecution, so even if

a decision is made at the new york level, well will go to florida and sit out. there, you see, there is very positive news, for sure, let the election struggle continue, glory to us, fear to our enemies. ekaterina, thank you and see you soon on air. thank you, dmitry, goodbye. for the birthday of larisa guzeeva. i was born yaroslav at a time when all young people dreamed of something else. i dreamed of becoming an artist. one of your first roles was in this famous cult series , don’t change the meeting place, it was for the masses. everyone comes to the theater institute a little sick in the head with delusions of grandeur, but we all go there as people artists, it was hard, but would you like your children to follow in your footsteps? no, my daughter, for example, is objectively much

more talented than me, right at times, but she doesn’t like this profession, she’s a make-up artist, what wind, what fate brought you to television, i was already so good at 40, suddenly i’m invited to try out for this program , let's get married, i looked, i thought, my god, what...

probably created for each other, they couldn't live without each other, as i saw. lyubov polishchuk, the last tango, we met in sunday on the first. people have been dreaming about a new man for a long time. since 1905, eugenics, which was generously financed by john rockefeller, jr., began to develop rapidly. in the usa, it concentrated on forced sterilization of disabled people, social individuals and poor people. adolf hitler referred to american eugenics back in

meinkamf. in germany, the first priority was to cleanse the aryan race of ballast. eugenics didn’t go away after the war, it just changed its sign and methods. there's a big game on the air, now we're moving to tehran, the capital of iran, where we speak with khayal, maazin, an iranian journalist who writes for a number of presenters. news agencies, we are very glad to welcome you, thank you for taking the time. hello, dear dmitry samovets, thank you for your attention.

please tell me, is there any greater clarity about what happened with the presidential helicopter, why this tragic situation arose. yes, today - kisir headquarters appointed a general to investigate the crash of the president's helicopter, at the moment, the government of iran, as well as the iranian people, is concentrated at the request of the president, and i think that in the near future we will receive detailed information from official lips regarding the helicopter crash, at the moment

the disaster is not a simple plane crash, for this helicopter crash the president is responsible for this event the zionist regime of israel, and this is the abolition of the people, and... regarding this , an official statement from the government has not yet been made, if an official statement is made, that it will be proven that the siyani regime and its allies are behind this smoking by helicopter, but first of all the people of iran, as well as the people of iran, will demand from the authorities to avenge the president, and also the government of iran will no doubt... uh

uh punish the zionist regime, why? because when they attacked the iranian embassy in syria, uh, iran carried out operations and after the operation, the iranian authorities said several times: if israel acts crazy again, take a crazy step, the second the operation will be stronger than the first, a warning has been given, and if given, of course, the answer will be clear, but if i understand you correctly, then while the government of iran, the iranian authorities, do not want to escalate the situation until the circumstances are clarified, while they are investigating, and not accusations, so, yes, that's right, because iran is never crazy, without...

what will it look like? yeah, according to the iranian constitution, if something happens to the president, his obligatory activity, his responsibility is taken by the prime minister of iran at the moment, the prime minister of iran has taken full responsibility, he has 50 days, he must announce presidential elections, and as i said. the beginning of our conversation, the iranian

people and the government of iran are busy with a petition with their president and soon presidential elections will be announced in a few days while the candidates are still unknown on the political fields for the iranian people it is also a mysterious question that who will become the future president of iran and who will claim the presidential presidency ? i have a fear that this period, the period of preparation for the elections, determining who the candidates are, which of these candidates will be allowed to run for the presidency, i have a fear that this period may be used by some external forces, but first of all, of course, by israel, the united states, great britain, that... try to create

some difficulties for iran, mobilize some anti-government forces. is there such concern in iran itself and do you see any signs that this kind of interference in iran’s internal affairs is already taking place? some people think that these events will whitewash iran's internal politics as well as iran's foreign policy. the supreme leader of iran in his statement said that this event will not affect iran's internal policy, as well as iran's foreign policy, some think that there will be protests within the country, in no case, the iranian government, as well as law enforcement agencies have sufficient experience, okay copes with protests, and will not allow the country to have protests again like last year,

ah, yes, this one, uh, yesterday everything was with them discussed the visit - of arab countries and others - the visit of the iranian delegation and this shows successful politicians. ibrahim raisi that his main policy was that he would establish relations with neighboring countries as well as other countries, and this evening it was proven that the visit of official and

high-ranking delegations to iran, the successful foreign policy of iran, ibrahim raisi. thank you very much for this information, thank you for your time. and we hope that we will have the opportunity to see you in the near future on our program, thank you, see you goodbye, it was a great game, we'll meet on air next week, hello country, welcomes you to the new voronezh, i really love our small cities, almost the entire golden ring of russia and the silver necklace of russia have passed, i have a dream, i really want to go hiking to baikal, i hope it will come true soon, to altai by

first of all, as a writer, and as a person, i am always interested in the story of growing up, the story of how a person fulfills the destiny that is his. needy live, as far as i know, you were born far from moscow, far from st. petersburg, from leningrad, on the border of asia and europe, then it so happened that you came to conquer the capital, if i understand correctly, yes, you came to leningrad, or am i mistaken , look, i was born yaroslav at a time when all young people dreamed of something else, now almost no one has this, now no one is chasing a dream anywhere, neither to the north, nor to the south, nor to the capital. nowadays there are such dreams online, those close to us are teenagers, children, somehow they are dreaming about something else, no one, uh, well he doesn’t fly somewhere to try himself, to test himself somehow, yes, there are no such situations today, there are no such stories, but in any case, this is the path that

i and thousands of others have taken...
