part of our enable me ukraine family, with the support of the national assembly of persons with disabilities of ukraine enable me ucaine. congratulations, friends, vitaly portnikov and our interlocutor, a well-known ukrainian, are with you historian, professor of harvard university, serhii plohii. i congratulate you, mr. serhiy. greetings to you and the audience. you know, talking about 2023 with a historian is probably quite a difficult task, because if we look carefully at the disposition of what happened in 2020. 23 not from the point of view of, say, ours, from the point of view of the people who lived through the year 2023, and from

a purely historical point of view, we can see that this year is simply capable of falling out of history, at least ukrainian, at least the history of the russian-ukrainian war, from the end of 2022 year, the line of defense of ukrainian troops did not change, the line of confrontation between russian and ukrainian troops in 2023 remained practically the same as it was in... 2022, hopes for an offensive in 2023 turned out, one might say, to be unrealized, and now many politicians... and ordinary citizens have practically the same hopes for 2024 as for 2023, so we are talking as if it could be at the end of 2022, at the beginning of 2023, we expect an offensive, we expect some special shifts in russian-ukrainian confrontation, however , a year has passed and nothing can be done about it,

really, despite the extraordinary. great efforts, sacrifices, the front line did not move , that is, there were changes, of course, on the conventional front line in the black sea, which is extremely important, but not on land, and the 23rd year began with fears and hopes, the fears were about russian winter russian the offensive, which already... took place in january of the 23rd year, and there were hopes for a ukrainian counteroffensive in the spring, of the positives is that the russian offensive did not amount to anything led to, that is, in the end, it became the failure of this offensive, faced the condition of prihozhad's rebellion,

but the negative, of course, consequences of the year after... are related to the fact that the ukrainian contour offensive did not achieve the goals that we all wanted it to achieve , and in this sense, our conversation today, it seems to me, is not on such an optimistic note as it would have been a year ago, because the 22nd year ended with several ukrainian miracles or miracles from, well, miracle, miracle, probably the right term, from kharkiv. which operations, the battle for kyiv, and at the end liberation of kherson. today, we are in a completely different, different context, and most observers and commentators, in fact, do not have such optimistic, optimistic prospects for the 24th. the 24th seems

to be shaping up to be a year where you have to hold the line that you've been holding on to. 23rd year and prepare for a qualitatively new war, you know, you talk about 2022 as a year of miracles, but to be honest, i never hope for a miracle in politics, it seemed to me that in 2022 the ukrainian armed forces used the opportunities that , let's say are given only once in a war, and this applies to the political leadership of the country as well, the first of such opportunities. this is not the understanding by the russian federation of the nature, i would say, of national statements between ukrainians and russians, this misunderstanding still continues, we saw it from the speeches of the president of russia vladimir putin in a direct line at the collegium of the ministry of defense of russia, where he basically repeated his same thoughts about ukraine, which he expressed in his articles and speeches even before the start of the war,

and also the effect of surprise, unpreparedness of the russian federation to a massive attack on... the entire ukrainian territory using a large number of troops allowed ukrainian troops to defend the north and prevent them from capturing kyiv and other cities in the north of our country, and the effect of surprise allowed ukrainian troops to liberate the kharkiv region in 2022, however then a real, i would say, war began with the use of the necessary mobilization and military-technical resources, and for this you need to have them and you need to... realize how will the enemy act, because in 2023 the ability of the russians to build effective defensive fortifications on the lines they occupy on ukrainian territory turned out to be somewhat of a surprise for many, and there is also an important political moment, that is, the political leadership of ukraine, which in 2022 year could hope for, i would say, unconditional support from the western world,

faced a situation when it is necessary to insist on this support both in the political and diplomatic sense of the word choice. and i can say a lot about that too who turned out to be completely unprepared, indeed, in fact, in the 22nd year, they managed to win in what putin called a special military operation, and in the 23rd year, the situation, the situation changed, in fact, putin began to prepare for a long war even in the 22nd year inside . in the 22nd year, when the relevant tasks were given to the ministries, that is, the economy of the country was being restructured on military, military rails. and er then i remember i and probably many other people who received this information actually thought that this was planning for the future in terms of

russia, which will not happen, that is, we all believed that the prigozhin phenomenon would appear in one form or another, associated with large russian losses, associated with disappointment, and it appeared, but his regime.. . survived it, and today we really, really are in a completely different situation, it is said that the methods we used both inside the country and outside its borders have actually exhausted themselves today, and we need a change in the idea of ​​horizons, a change a way of thinking, a way of discourse as well, that is, in the west, and that's where i'm more... so to speak to say, i understand the situation, the argument that was extremely important in 22, about the support of democracy, about the victim of aggression and so on and so on, begins to be less and less effective when,

that is, the money that goes to the united states of america exceeds 100, 100 billion dollars, that is, here, here a completely different argument and a completely different idea should appear, this is a question about... the future of the event, in fact, it is that on monday a special issue of the wall street journal appeared about the past year and the following year, there was my article on this very topic, what i tried to convey to the american readers and those who make decisions, well, of course, a change is needed, a change of approach in ukraine, but here i leave it - this topic rather to you, that is, i am in ukraine, but more, more i understand, of course , what is happening in the west, well, by the way, i

would like to stop with you on this beautiful thing, because really i have, by and large, encountered a situation when i felt not only in the west, but also in ukraine that the surprise i always had when i met. with evaluations of the so-called sovietologists. understanding of the political situation in russia. it was absolutely obvious to me that everything that is happening with prigozhany, around prigozhany, are deliberate actions that strengthen the authority and power of the president of russia, vladimir putin. and that even the so-called prigozhan hairpin is a carefully designed special operation aimed at strengthening the russian regime. no matter how it ended, because it must be remembered that the entire pro-gorsh special operation was not directed against putin, but... against putin's closest entourage, putin was simply offered, so to speak, with the help of this march to moscow, which never took place, and may never take place, to choose a more understandable

environment that will more effectively fight against ukraine, well, it helped to destroy the very institution of private military companies, that is, to finally bring russia to the rank of a totalitarian state, in which there can be no alternative military groups, by and large this has always been the case in the history of russia, remember, even the history with peter. first and shooters, by and large the russia we have, as a strong, cruel, ready-to-fight-for-foreign -territory empire was created just after the rifle rebellion, and there are historical works on this matter, and pictures that we all saw in childhood, if not in museums, then in textbooks, and when he is exactly like that situation, mr. serhiu, all historians appeared paralyzed, as if they had not read anything. and they didn’t know, both specialists and analysts, i was surprised, i ’ll tell you honestly, but i, i

apply history a little differently in relation to prigozhin’s rebellion, for me it’s a classic repetition of the situation with in august of 1991, when one of the serfs or serfs revolts in order to attract or... return the attention, the attention of the master, that is, the same kryuchkov and others first came to bow to gorbachev, and in fact tried to stop this signing of the treaty on a renewed union, because a renewed union meant that they all had to resign, and the coup ended with the fact that these guys returned to gorbachev again, asking him so that he would... forgive them, that is, the riot was about the situation and the preservation of their positions inside, inside the top, and that, this is the same thing that i saw in

prigozhin, because depriving prigozhin of his army meant, it also meant a physical threat to him and his life, and the fact that he was rebelling, he was not rebelling against the tsar, he was rebelling in the name tsar, since, as in russian history before, it often happened that what , what was revealed in the year 23, which was not in the year 91, is what... did not appear in let's say yeltsin, i.e. conditional yeltsin, navalny or someone else, was absolutely outside, outside the political field, outside the possibility of mobilizing the same muscovites or someone else, in support of prigozhin or in defense of putin, and then getting rid of putin , that is, this moment is unique, and the fact that in russia they stand not against the tsar, but... for the sake

of the tsar, well, that, that means , from, the story is quite, quite long and quite ancient. well, it seems to me that what you said is very important, because it means that the russian political leadership has come to some good conclusions since 1991 . yeltsin was a person who resisted the communist party of ukraine for a reason, he represented an alternative center of power, he was generally elected, popularly elected president of the russian federation, who could also rely on. on people's deputies of the russian federation elected by the people. by the way, if we recall the shooting point with you, then there was also an interesting story there, because peter i, who fought with the shooters, somehow knew that his opponents could rely on the authority of a more legitimate monarch, the eldest son of the tsar, ivan, tsar ivan, and tsarina sophia, who was then a tsar, in the moscow

kingdom she could also. to look like a representative of the interests of the legitimate monarch, therefore that by and large, if we are honest , peter i was a usurper of power, he took it from the hands of a legitimate monarch who had a legitimate right of succession, and the russian political elite should give it its due. it is clear that no alternative centers of power and even centers of opposition in that russia, which is being built by putin, which belongs to return, according to his opinion, to the borders of the soviet union in 1991, and maybe even further, should not exist. was not aware of oleksiy navalny, who was returning to russia, not realizing that he was signing a de facto death sentence and that his political influence in the future of russia will be reduced to zero, but we were aware of that , i think you have raised several topics here, one of which seems more important to me than the others, which is the ability of the russian authorities to learn from experience and and on errors as well.

that is, er, in addition to the conclusions regarding yeltsin from 1991, other conclusions were related to the fact that now national autonomies do not have any special rights compared to other subjects of the russian federation, that is, a repetition of the collapse of the soviet union and it is constitutionally impossible within the same framework in... the russian federation, well , the russians have been learning for the last few years, that is , we hear about it on the battlefield, we hear about it from our military, from commanders, and in this sense, to underestimate the enemy, it is absolutely absolutely, so to speak, the biggest mistake that we can assume today. it seems to me that it is important

not only to underestimate, but also... to understand correctly, and i have a rather serious conclusion that it is in ukraine that russians are not understood more than even in those countries which have never been part of a single state body together with russia. this confuses me, because just as russians are not ready to understand russia, because they consider ukraine, because they consider it an extension of the russian civilizational organism, and every time they meet another. due to the development of the situation, they believe that these are some wrong ukrainians who simply need to be destroyed, all the others are correct, they do not draw any conclusions, they simply believe that some people who are on the payroll of the department, or even are supporters of some of nazi ideology, as vladimir putin talks about it, and if ukraine is cleansed of all these people, then all the others will be the same russians as all the russians in the kremlin, exactly the same as the ukrainians, i believe.
