tillman to you, when you have, you have a one, does not delete it from port on it. please go to this file and unexpected side to side. the presidential elections in russia of the usual full gun conclusion, with nothing left to charm, not even the death in jail as the leading opposition figure. i'll explain about me, whose name postern couldn't bring himself to speak. my guest is the russian commentary to andre kalashnikov, who had split kindly. he rush, are you ready just sent that in moscow? wasn't of only such a serious threat to put in his regime that he had to be killed even to be imprisoned when it was a threat to pretend that competitor may be invisible in an informational field about the same time. quite my team and way to compress it for the parts of the population. and because of that, it was important to, let's see,

eliminate him from the political field. so what you'd like to live with the government that kills its political opponents and seen from moscow. why the southern states of warnings by nato officials about a russian attack over the next few years. what do they know? we done and the color slick of welcome to complex on excellence. it's much, it's time for presidential elections in russia of id may i put in once a 5th time. that'd be my food and always gets what he wants is this is close to absolute power as it gets in russia. yes. so this is one more step to choose actual power. but so when we're asking our cells, where was this turning point? for she seems as a decrease of michigan mostly because the development of his interview was somewhere in the year 2020. when he told the referendum about

some of the med, most of the constitution, the main think about 0 and copious present initial terms. and now she is over to the president. and after that, all the doors were open for any steps. functions sites like to this war of february 22, 22 unfortunately of no other means the same year 2020 it doesn't have much to do with democracy. it doesn't these elections even mr. perkins spokesman, dimitri pest golf, tell the new york times last year, presidential election isn't really a democracy. it's a costly bureaucracy. so why bother with this show? because so this one more attempt to, to demonstrate to the majority of the ref, can population that they, they are still the majority, which is obedience, indifference and ready to continue to accept the contents initiatives.

and this is important, that's minority minority is a must understand that they are still minorities. now it's a can to influence and i think is this country because we have a majority which is in flash which supports proteins. so nothing to do with this political system. we can't change and i think because of that, so this election starts to know significant is the same times. it's just one more really rounds aflac way not to to repeat this kind of really and to refresher as a legitimacy or for your to correct. oh, credible candidates of being eliminated way before the polling stations opened bar? it's not just in the anti war candidate. he was disqualified by the states because some traction for a while. was he a, a threat? was he didn't that's right. the edition was squares attracted to the public who was

liberal views and you know, in the rush or millions of people who are sharing to liberal pro the critic pro western the anti portion of the vision of the world. and because of that, in addition, was kind of a slope for this people wednesday. so and it's pushing it and it was understandable . that's a criminal decide. it's not till ocean to participate because she keeps it undermines the feeling of absolutes comes to the dish and around put him in a case of getting i don't know, $56.00, even 10 percent of it man into it could means that the paternity is not the only one who is so who does are so the supports and there are people with the enter your agenda not to mention the 10s of case. and that doesn't include demonstrates enter your agenda via television and the code. so shake because of use. so for the majority, which is still not connected to the tv set. so, so with no,

they decided not to not to risk you from that slide risk. i'm alexa, nevada, me that in a prison camp in the arctic circle, was he ever really electro threat to prove to or was it that he and others like him? we're never going to be allowed to get anywhere near that status. the only didn't have an opportunity to participate in the legal political process. but so when she does participate in the year 2013 during must goes to my ears. election sky was extremely efficient, astonishingly efficient for kremlin investors and they decided to, you know, to allow him to participate in any kind of like options. so if it was a real threat to put him down to some moment, so it's a moment to the means that bus to the whole political process reduced. busy. now

this is fine between the fall knee and approach him. and is that sense even being can prison? that when it was a threat to pretend that competitor may be invisible in an information field about the same time, quite mighty and square to compress it for, for the parts of that population. and because of that, it was important to, let's see, eliminate him from the political field. do you by the story that he was about to be swapped for a kayla scrubbing time in germany. do you by that story? of we don't know the truths maybe will not know it, but it looks like blows and bull story and in that sense, simple, it wasn't requested dance. uh that she was, let's say maybe killed 90 points, maybe something else. so we have to wait for some results. so if you see what

a search true maybe is the key on the clear up some good deals. and i found this family is pretty clear and his colleagues are pretty clear that the state did kill him. you wouldn't seriously argue with that would you, i would say, likes the sort of experience. so this regime demonstrates that it's as possible. let's remember as a case of st policy or in any other cases and put in the several times repeated. you're anxious, courier that the, my pets, realty color oriented ordering. and since people do that, some of these and because of that among people with uh, let's say liberal views, there is no doubt that's nobody put the keels. uh no, no, we don't have the uh, conclusive evidence of it,

but the feeling is very strong. come on. russian civil society. we know that they tried and failed to kill him back in 2020 and we know because the millions listen to a government assessment describing his previously unsuccessful attempt to kill him about a little realizing that he was actually talking to him about the i'm being recorded by him at the time. so nobody's going to believe any government denials of a underscore. uh, you know, which means what do we mean by, you know, buddy to, because of the majority to still to 1st to believe freedom main unofficial version . or prefer us not to think about this, the horrible story you know, so low to for russian. so they didn't know about the person things that i didn't know about the, the so it's not what it means. it in this camp near arctic circle. but

the majority prefers not to boulder itself. uh uh, not to pay too much attention to, to this for us in order to keep for themselves mentally normal. um the subsea more old, but the majority prefers not to know. and it seems about, uh like, uh, uh, cuz you know, it is still with his dad, so through it cetera. and because of that, that's more about belief in disbelief amongst people with the normal view space, a democratic fused record by from a lawyer at the human rights group. memorial said if they could kill nova on the baker, kill anybody else. if he's right, where does all this and all the killings all the political prisoners. why does this end? i know the real threat is to political prisoners. i'm sure we don't have

a political position in the appropriate sense of civil worth right now because of a high level of for patients kyra's in the names of substitute new new orleans of last year or so for his existence. and i, i, i would say that it's, unfortunately, for instance, people like to let them know cut them. it was a, or, yeah, yes, one could be under threats. and not everyone in dissidence community, but uh, the main of the most vocal people from mazda political, a position, because barto was a political position as a broad some parts. so for the literacy are in prison. so for people who are in prison, so there was a real threat, i think unfortunately, you spoke off the volume is funeral about moral resistance among the population, people carrying flowers and candles to his memorials. how much of that moral resistance is the less than russia?

i guess treasure sorts of moral because as i said, political position isn't so efficient right now. and this is more about a more resistant sanibel political resistance. this people can fight as they don't want to find for power. they don't have fully addresses. they don't have organizations which are totally liquidated by the regime. even small in jewels, but the dose of the demonstrates is a funeral and around it didn't go straight to that. this civil society still here with lots of different societies such which is very different. so i'm passive and full of calling for ms and civil society, the society of responsible citizens who us to who for the best, who was a country whore in a permanent order because of this war. they demonstrated that they are here. it was

actually a route step for people club for we're going to do the funeral because of the, the face recognition system is working and sometimes policemen are coming to to the plants. so it was people after a different kind of events, wolf funerals like the link flowers as a man, as a place, as of man, there we go for political repression, so it's cetera, et cetera. so if you want to see the so civil society in the rush, we can overcome. for instance, the website over then for with the concrete statistics about persecutions, about the criminal prosecutions, administrative persecutions, extrajudicial persecutions. a lot of examples of these kind of problems for russian citizens, but she resist civil society, which is still ready to resist and ready to at least to

think of all the constitution, think about so as a responsibility, collective responsibility you, you talked about values, legacy. i'd like to know how long you think it will last, isn't it inevitable that as the years go by, that will be less and less opposition? a moral or real refreshing work stuff and it progressions efficient? yes for business work, but at the same time, no. this fatigue from regime is also here, and in the case of a minor successor for a civil society and a demonstration that was to use uh, some people quite hesitating corpus difficult for me says they can't share the view sofa. and this actually, if a single society activities a, so in that sense or actually isn't hopeless and i've seen it with just like and so the attempts were when minerals people were ready for change of skin color,

which are of key when go with literature for to cook, the power a ends is being a bunch of population is also ready for changes, but so, you know, in current circumstances kind of a single though must came from the very top. and the was out a change in the 1st person, i guess. so the serious changes in russia are impossible. veteran now, extraordinary efforts and you've outlined some of them to, to clamp down on even the slightest infractions of this expanding penal code that the authors keep adding to. we hear of teachers in schools reporting a 10 to 11 year old pupils to the security police books, a band people arrested on the metro because they were reading something. but the fellow passengers didn't like every case pursued with the utmost vigor and brutality. and i suppose my question is, is the state really that is secure about its hold on paul and its people?

you know, it smarter bell cell development of russian style. all sorts here is my would say this is not simply and assorted terrorism is more about a name, it's high, but it's authoritarianism. say me to tell it there is because the state is trying to infiltrate into all this for yourselves, a private life of people. you to want it wants to control, for instance, theaters repair to ours. uh, uh, book markets, libraries, etc, etc. but nevertheless, this societies mother in license, this is for the well educated society and people are trying to keep for the private space to see more on more or less normal situation. and it looks us to print it's some, some movies are pretty cool cause appear in this a such a strange hospitality around space. so yeah. is there

a difference the threat slight denunciations from your competitor else? but nevertheless, it is still, it is still civil society and i can repeat it, it is not so hopeless and get the chance survives this period. but the, the space of labor to you for free to my snare rooms. this is through, but if you wants to do something, you can try. and some people are trying to, to write articles to be vocal, to, to, to talk, at least to talk about the constitution. it's, it's not a dresser, it's not help does it by the fact that so many ordinary citizens appeared, willing to inform on each other on their colleagues and their families and their friends. how destructive is that to the fabric of russian society destroys trust on the yes it's true,

it's to the trust. it's not so the strong side of the society is a trust each other. but some people simply prefer not to talk with the unknown persons. they prefer to talk to canal so who they are trying not to be so vocal sitting in congress for instance, to say preferred not to discuss political issues. this is true, but you know, it's a same time uh, again who, who wants to resist can try to do it. for instance, if there is such a new magazine which was initiated by the know below ritz mentioned more about the there's a title going to be in the corporation was gonna butcher foundation. and this is one of the attempts to, to, to, to, to create something to you,

even in the circumstances. there was some problems with this magazine, but it is still in the fields. so why not to transfer this all think uh, and this it's, it's a, it's contribute. so, something like hope for the future. when we talk about hope, let's also talk about the war in ukraine, which has, of course, exacerbated the repression level. good cough leading russian sociologist says there's a high degree of support for the war highest among the educated and the educated in moscow does not surprise you. yes. is there a lot of surprising stories, especially in the field of mess, psychology and my social g. and uh, you know, this is all about people who are afraid of changing their life. so they are trying to avoid problems with themselves. which means that as a full flip, say,

double thinking of a pretending the ward doesn't exist. so they can to avoid the mentioning fee to thinking about it. so that's a trying not to do it publicly. maybe the same people, but who they want to continue as a career, as for instance, in the university. so something like that, but as a, a private space in their quizzes like it was. and so we have time so they can discuss freely the current situation with the core, with the some assessments which are not public. let's see, this is more about privates assessments private life. so this is more about double thinking. you said recent pay that pretend as make clear russia is fighting a permanent background war with the west. best argument gives his image ration on his way to maintain power. does put in one fact war in your view.

oh yes, she wants me. she's the main initiator, i'm sure. is that, and is this personal, this decreasing, put in was the main source of, of this war was this idea. ology, which justifies for the russian id, was nation alanta in nationalistic and imperialistic ideas. very archive. now that bills to the, to the, to tradition, send the spiritual values, etc, etc. and she must invent. so the goal for the society. so is this just not coping is more capitalism and they invented some travelling, this permanent for it was the best, the best was also taking us. so we must defense our sales. and even though we're expect expansions, this is kind of, this is more about defense. and uh, but the reason the reports re, so i'm sorry to interrupt you,

reset the intelligence reports in the west of suggested russia intends to double the number of its troops on the border with the baltic states and finland. and people have spoken officials, government officials in several countries have spoken of the fact that that could possibly be attacked by russia on the nato countries over the next few years. how plausible do think that these things is suspicious. p r. o to be so then to to, to, to, to look so mighty, so impressive. uh, uh, and i guess he wants to create i am, she's a political philosophies. this is a part of russia for sure. and she wants to return and strengthen as he says. so this territories, and she doesn't care about the baltic states freelance or, or pulled this as a lip service in my opinion. she will not have enough resources for one more flank,

one more front. uh, she simply wants to continue this permanent toward was the best as a goal for the society, but at the same time in the practical terms and apply it to her. and she doesn't want to, to take the, for instance, voltage stays because it will mean the real world was native. intuitively much more serious. so that's just sort of a tuition of what is your brain? does nato look weak to russia to put in a not so we could, but to what was this very majority of the society, which in looks like a strong man, chloe, queasy, equal to tomato, naturally smarter both human show for the main enemy, united states of america, nathan in europe is kind of was such a line of uh, of nato in the ends of united states. you said last month that despite old,

a new career saved by rattling but we've heard from fulton, they don't want the afraid of nuclear war. what makes you so sure of that uh, you know, so as you settled they must understand that. so even the use of the technical the ukes could be suicidal for uh for, for say every gene for the country. uh they want to leave for. they want to enjoy this life and because of that, so yes, so these uh, nuclear black mailing fees square, it's impressive and quite effective as it is quite effective because it's presented to preventative, the west from giving the sophisticated weapons to you. correct? yes. as a problem for actually so that's a very conversations that talk about the nuclear, where it became such a light laptop. we can do it. why not? this is a main danger to proceed. so the domestic public's death. it is possible. this is

a danger. a british historian wrote recently that society is like russia, autocracies, don't bend, but they can break. do you believe that after all russia has broken, the soviet union broke up the button wall came down, communism was denounced as a failed experiment. under what circumstances do you think russia could conceivably come apart? now, you know, you know, when we're talking about this, the future ends, the behavior of our leads. they're behaving like that according to the drover up in order to look after us as it is a slot. and in that sense, they hopelessly as they have enough resources to continue this work until the physical end of uh, putting them to his team. but uh,

the resources could be depleted and the next generation though, for petitions they will have to take responsibility for the country for the european security. and this as an interest of the west coast call and interest mutual interest of the russians at west said to have a new generation of people who can recreate discounts for you from 0 this from a full account because the services i'm not to the terminal. so the bills are full, russia that's valid. the alexa in a value talked about does exist somewhere down the line and you'll view it exists in the, in the soul, southern brain. so for pro democratic russians as they are here and as they will be ready for changes when the time will count. i'm very cold last night golf. thank you very much for being on conflict. so thank you. thank you for having me here. the,

the, the
