and when in 2022 they decided to create the soviet union, the russian bolsheviks said to the ukrainian bolsheviks: listen, and judge, we just borrowed so that you could have a government there, but now that you are still part of the soviet union, why do you need this territory, let it be the territory of russia, and so suja, which for several years was part of soviet ukraine, and before that a neutral zone between russia and ukraine, becomes part of... soviet russia, now the question arises, why can't it be the other way around again, why not you can to create a neutral zone again, as in 1918, if it already existed, these are very conditional things, you understand, agreements between states, on which international law is based, on agreements between states, the borders of the soviet union, they were drawn absolutely conditionally, simply by the pencil of the people's commissar on matters of soviet nationality. and then

soviet stalin. few people remember that the general secretary of the central committee of the rkpb held such a position since november 7, 1917. and all these soviet republics with their borders are exclusively a figment of his imagination. there were some countries occupied like ukraine, belarus, georgia, armenia, azerbaijan, others separated from soviet russia to blur the status of occupied countries that were founded. of the soviet union, but he created their borders himself, so we have a huge number of divided regions, divided, as we understand with you, the territory of donbass, half of donbass is russian, half of donbass is ukrainian, part of donbass is donetsk region, part of donbass is rostov region, half bukovyny is ukrainian, because stalin so decided to take this part. in romania,

half of romanian, half of galicia ukrainian, half of galicia polish , half of slobozan region russian, half ukrainian, ugh, half of the sumy region, russian, half ukrainian, on both sides, if we talk about the russian-ukrainian border, ethnic ukrainians live in principle, i.e. in those regions in which counter-terrorism was announced today. kurdistan, voronezh, belgorod oblasts and others, kurdistan, bryansk, belgorod oblasts, i apologize, and vorona oblast, in which a counterterrorist operation has not been announced, only because it now has a border with the occupied territories of ukraine, and not ukraine itself, which is controlled by the legitimate government, these are the territories of the ancient ethnic resettlement of ukrainians. most of the districts of these regions, kursk, belgorod, and vorona. and bryansk

regions, this is part of the ethnic settlement of ukrainians. even a few years ago, people from these regions wrote to me in messenger, facebook , in absolutely pure ukrainian. mykhailo koltsov was the first poet who published a collection of poems in the ukrainian language in this part, in general, of the ukrainian lands. the famous russian folk poet, bart selyansky, he started with ukrainian folk songs, because in voronyshchyna people spoke ukrainian, he wrote it down and wrote poems in ukrainian, later. switched to russian, if we talk about the principle of national self-determination, a large part of the territory that has a direct border with ukraine is ukrainian ethnic territory, but in 1991, when the decision was made to dissolve the soviet union, it was decided that the union republics should remain in their state borders, republics that nomi'. how independent states

formed the soviet union, and this was the wisest decision, because if you start looking at whose ethnic territory, you can fight all your life, and russia is surrounded, this whole vector of russia, by foreign ethnic territories, ukrainian, belarusian, kazakh , whatever you want, but russia... broke this order itself, in the first months after the collapse of the soviet union, they decided to establish control over transnistria, remember? yes, of course, we were a country that supported, unfortunately, transnistria, yes, transnistria supported the gkchcp, but yeltsin still decided that he would support these transnistrian separatists created by the kremlin. you know how the transnistrian separatists thanked him in october 1993. they send armed forces to

support the congress of people's deputies of russia in order to overthrow yeltsin by armed means. people with weapons arrive in moscow from teraspol, who execute. the instructions of the then president of the self-proclaimed transnistrian republic igor smirnov, they agree with him ruslan khazbulat and oleksandr rutska that they sent an army to moscow, an army to destroy the legitimate government. what happens after october 93, moscow still decides that it is necessary to support transnistria, you don't think this is strange, but if you look at it from a historical perspective, the territory sends bandits to destroy you, and you say, well anyway... they and i are more interested in keeping moldova under tension than in destroying this fester, and so it continues to this day. you are beautiful illustration: georgia, abkhazia and south ossetia, russia participates in

a coup d'état in georgia, but when eduard shevernadze comes to power, they decide to punish him for his influence in the past, and do not agree with him on... restoring the territorial integrity of this country, support the abkhazian and south austin separatists, who, as you know, are carrying out terrible ethnic cleansing on their territory, expelling ethnic georgians. here is a second story from the 90s, and then the same, the same toolkit, it is applied to of ukraine. so, they are themselves. do not believe in these borders, they believe that they can redraw the borders of the former soviet republics as they like, because these are not real states, there is only one real state on the post-soviet territory, it is the russian federation, but we can also

decide that it's not a fake state, it's a state, it's just some scrap of the soviet union, the russian-soviet federative socialist republic, a fiction of lenin struts. they were able to regain their bandit power just on this territory, which, by the way, until the beginning of the 1930s , no one recognized in this territory, it is simply a separatist piece of the russian empire that got down lenin strotsky's throat, because they managed to win it back, then attack us, of course, kyiv, minsk , on the caucasian countries, all this is clear, but it is not a state. and there are two ways for it to become a real state. the russians see this way as returning all the soviet republics to their fold. and i see another way, to give the people of russia the opportunity to decide on their own statehood, to stop being younger

brothers, of this very russian people. moreover, this is the russian people, for all the time of their history they show such infantilism, can they not be either an older brother or a younger sister. it's simple, i would say, a complex mental state, a complex mental state, i would say, which does not allow you to be a member of anyone's family, so it's better, you know, when there is an acquaintance or a relative in a severe alcoholic state, it's better still live in a separate apartment, then put locks there and do not open even when he comes one after the other... about 5 rubles, he comes, he always comes, we know it, someone who has not lived in russia may not know, but i know for sure, they always come and knock on the door, but no 5 rubles , no, no, you'll drink tomorrow, that's all the state

logic, so in principle, i think it's a bold step, a bold step precisely from the point of view of demonstrating this cardboardness of the russian empire, the so-called, which discovered. not by any empire, but simply such a chekist machine, incapable, incapable of preparing for anything, where the russian intelligence, i want to ask where is the glorious federal security service of the russian federation, headed by the valiant comrade bortnikov, where is the foreign intelligence service, headed by the valiant comrade naryshkin, how should she send her wife to paris for shopping, here naryshkin is the first to write a list about the name and it. and this one and this one and such a watch and such a watch and such a jacket and such a coat, ugh, but how to find out if there are ukrainian troops in the kurdistan region, naruzhkino is no longer interested here, he is interested in shopping, well, i am talking about bortnyk i don’t say, he certainly doesn’t

send his wife to paris, because he is not such, i would say, a sophisticated person like naryshkin, but he could also go about his business, what do they do there anyway, you can’t steal all the time and do nothing to do, well... now they will have something to do, because this counter-terrorist operation that they announced means that it is the fsb officers who will be driving in these areas, true, the border areas, no, not exactly, it means that in these areas. .. a regime of complete lawlessness. a counter-terrorism operation was carried out, for example, in the north caucasus. this meant that the russian army was operating there. fsbeshniks generally steer everywhere, will steer, the impression is that they don't steer. but they get the opportunity to act in a situation of complete lawlessness. look, in the north caucasus between chechnya, ingushetia and dagestan on the one hand, and all of russia on the other. on the other side was actually the state border. when you crossed the border of, say, the republic of dagestan with the stavropol territory,

it seems, of the russian federation, if i'm not mistaken, you had to show your documents, your passport, everything to the world. you were checked by the real ones border guards, policemen, and could not miss in the direction of real russia, you know? they filtered, found out, conducted interrogations, checked you against some of their databases . well, internally, they could do anything there, the counterterrorist operation regime means that they can do anything without any court sanctions, hold you hostage, by the way, you know that this was the most profitable business of the russian generals , they then simply took people hostage in these caucasian families and simply received money for ransom, uh, and it's all under the guise of the kto regime, because they just announced that you are a terrorist, and then... you brought them money, they already said that you are not a terrorist, they can

keep you in prison, you court and investigations, they can listen to your phone without any formal sanction, they can even check your correspondence, they can enter any house, any apartment, you cannot let them in, in normal life in moscow, if a policeman comes to you , you have a legal right to keep it out, at least actually... an apartment under the regime of a counterterrorist operation, as you understand, no one will help you, and so on, and what are they doing now, they are actually declaring the border regions with ukraine such a separate state, the bryansk, bilhorodsk and kursk regions, that is, they whatever they create there, they will create a border between these regions and the rest of russia, they will decide who to... let in there, let's say that journalists, or some activists there, or some

volunteers there who want to help someone there don't go, there is no need to move there, this is a question of national security, go to voronezh, they can not release from there, or release whoever they want, or release whoever they want, they can create a special regime for people from settlements that, say, were under... ukrainian control or are located, if these people want to leave their regions, make them special interrogations, etc., they get the possibility of any military actions in this territory without any supervision, so what if they want to use severe weapons, burn houses, what else, the army and the fsb can do everything, this is absolutely such an idea, you know how it was... with ivan the terrible, again, i apologize for recalling the story, there was the territory of the oprichnina, the territory of the oprichnina was

not it would be quiet and peaceful, it was the tsar's territory, everything else outside the oprichnina, there the oprichnina could do anything they wanted, even hang you by the legs and cut off everything they wanted to cut off from you, because it is non-oprichnina, and this is a method of ruling, but now putin actually... he rules russia as planned, and the declaration of a counter-terrorist operation is a form of taking certain regions beyond the scope of planned, in which the oprichniks will be able to do everything in the world, due to the fact that there is such a danger there, uh, that's all, because they will be able to think, maybe some local residents cooperated with the ukrainian troops, facilitated the possibility of transition, maybe there were some agents in the local services of the fsb or. border troops or in the local authorities, everything must be checked, they are looking for

spies all their lives, it is true, and besides, they are very it is necessary for no one to create an information vacuum, because these residents are already residents of other cities, they are starting to go somewhere, they are starting to rehearse, vladimir vladimirovich, save us, we love you so much, we supported svo, and why are you abandoning us by the way, why should anyone hear this, it can mean there, to clean up some administrators of local telegram channels, or to tell them what to write. by the way, you may have noticed that the belgorod telegram channels have been real since they started there, because. the collision has passed to the present moment a certain evolution, they are trying to act within the framework of the vector set by the regional administration, and now it will intensify, and it will be like this from the kurt region, but now i carefully read the local telegram channels, let's say, sudzhinsk, but i am sure that all of them they will get their hands on it from a certain point, as it

was with the telegram channels of the same shchebekin, and they cease to be sources of information, because you understand that, these are small local... channels that are just sources of information, we had sewerage here , we have a bad mayor here, and when the shelling starts, they start to write out of inertia: listen, we had a flight here, we couldn't leave here, we don't have buses here, we don't have trains here, the local residents say this, they say that, but nobody needs this in russia , they should write ukrainians are bastards, the government is wonderful, we thank our governor for helping us, and this is also part of the regime's counterterrorist... operation, mr. vitaly, another interesting observation, perhaps subjective, but it seems that for the russians , you said that in principle for russia as a state that the territory sorry, the current kherson, ukrainian -controlled, that their kursk region, they are absolutely equal, it's all their territories, just kherson now, well, it's occupied by

the ukrainian army, the nazis, yes, that. on the other hand, to be honest , the withdrawal of russian troops from kherson, we will cry, how are we leaving our people there and so on, caused a bigger stir than what is happening in kurshchyna, according to my observations, russians know less about kurshchyna, and it worries they are much smaller than the territories they occupied ukrainian well, because when it came to ukrainian territories, there was a weak mention of occupation, of military victory, here we are simply talking about some territory, which someone entered, you have to understand that russian society is sufficiently atomized, if you like, that's it this is an atomized society, it is primarily interested in the situation at home, and if nothing is happening in your

region, then you are really not much, not much bothered by the suffering of the residents of another region, especially the government. she knows better what to do she will liberate kurshchyna, she will return people to their homes, and now we just have to accept the evacuees, according to official data, 76 thousand people have been evacuated from these regions, by the way, this is the number one task, as we all understand very well , along with this, and that same thing seems to me, of course, in some moscow, what is happening there in the kursk region, few people are bothered, that's true. this is such an important moment of russian political life that the revolution never begins with the neighborhood, changes never begin with suburbs, all russian changes always take place in the capitals, in 1917 it was petrograd, in 1991 it was moscow, if you do not win the situation in the capital, you lose the country, but in 1917 moscow was against

the bolshevik government, but the bolsheviks took power in st. petersburg . in st. petersburg, and then they installed this power in moscow absolutely calmly after some short-lived clash there. now, if you understand, if some rebellion in petrograd wins, and moscow remains under the control of the authorities, then these authorities will simply be able to destroy any institution in petrograd. and vice versa. in 1991, almost all regions of the russian federation supported the gkchcp. moscow did not support, yeltsin did not support, and... as a result, the top leadership of the soviet union, which was supported by all regions of russia, lost the struggle for power. there is something in this, as you understand, quite interesting, so from this point of view you are right. kherson was just as unexpected an event for them as russian troops having to leave a conquered city. and here there is some struggle in the border area, some problems

with residents of some province, who is to blame for not living in moscow. i would say this. all of russia hates moscow, all of moscow despises all of russia. this is a real relationship in this state from the time of grand duke ivan kalita, and not from vladimir putin, so i would not say that we are witnessing something new. well, well, from the point of view of what is happening in russia itself, we understood a little, but you noted about the traps that the russian state is currently falling into. on the other hand, can we fall into... any traps, i can now to blame for some very careless thoughts there, but nevertheless, when we have specific definitions of specific borders of specific... and declare ourselves as a country that adheres to international law, can we be criticized for not just defending our own, and that we

, in fact, violated this international law by crossing the russian border, or how, how, how not to fall into the trap as well, in fact, and why no one cares, because it seems to me that this episode. with the chicken, he just illustrates that everyone is very careful in their statements, kirby with the white house says that we still need to figure it out, we will receive information now from the ukrainian military, although it is difficult to imagine that they do not know what is happening in kursk, but no one is saying, you know, we consider it inadmissible to invade the territory of the russian federation, however, no one said that, not even lukashenko, yes, lukashenko did not say about him separately, see what international law looks like if aggression is carried out against your country. and if the aggressor country accumulates military resources, manpower and equipment, to your territories, in order to continue this aggression, then

you have a full legitimate right to enter the territory of this country for the purpose of destroying the enemy's military force, equipment and manpower in this territory, where it is preparing for a further attack, and by the way, this is exactly what the russian federation was guided by when in 2022 a special military... operation was announced, it said that it wants to protect the people of donbas, and in order to protect the people of donbas, it is necessary to enter the territory of ukraine and destroy the military potential ukraine, so that it no longer bombs donbass, right? ugh, that was the idea, russia recognized our statehood, our borders, as it were, but they said, but there is a ukrainian army that is bombing the unfortunate children of donbas, we will destroy it and everything will be fine again, also daglat, yes god's grace, we say the same thing. we absolutely do not need the kurdish region, we need to destroy the military equipment and manpower of the enemy, which is concentrated in the territory of the regions of the russian federation bordering ukraine, that's

all, and here it is very difficult to notice something, because in any war the one who started the escalation, who started the aggression is guilty, he is responsible both for the victims on the territory of the country he attacked and for... our victims on our own territory, during the second world war, among the victims of the war there was a lot of the civilian population of germany, by the way, why did we all enter its territory, it was its territory, we could stop somewhere on the borders of germany, the soviet union and great britain, the united states somehow did not stop, so but for victims among the civilian german population, direct who, adolf hitler, is responsible for the victims among. er, the civilian russian population, who is directly responsible? vladimir putin. i talked a lot with germans who said: listen, what a horror it was in

the days when the allied armies entered germany, especially the soviet army, the rape of women, murders, mass torture, literally, just horror. i told you, i totally agree with that. this is incredible horror. how, by the way. the horror of what was happening on the territory of ukraine, belarus, lithuania, poland, and other countries, all this is horror, unspeakable, the horror of the suffering of the civilian population, but i am very sorry if your grandparents did not support the national socialist german workers' party in the elections, did not allow it to grow stronger, did not allow it to start a war of aggression against your neighbors, all your grandparents , relatives were b alive, you started it, you were driven by a sense of injustice in relation to the result. the first world war, but you could understand that after you satisfy your sense of injustice, such disasters can begin in your life, compared to

how the injustice of the first world war will seem like flowers against the background of mass murder, rape, torture, but that's all, who is to blame, who, if you had behaved differently, there would have been no world war ii, if you had a democratic german state , this democratic german state could , together with great britain and france... the bolshevik soviet unions could join in the destruction of the communist regime and nothing would happen, but you went a completely different way, and so with russia, when the inhabitants kursk oblast is now being told that you and i supported the svo, well, i'm sorry if you support the svo, if you support the killing of your neighbors, the bombing of civilian cities, sooner or later the war will come to you and your children and kill you in your own homes, even if the army that comes there behaves more civilized than. that army that came to our land and turned out to be just, i would say, a horde of wild, medieval bandits, i won't even say barbarians, because barbarians were still

a civilization compared to russia the army there could just be missile fire, there could be drones, there could be results of rockets falling, you lose life, you lose health, you evacuate, and what did you want, if you think your army can enter the territory of another country, early sooner or later the army from this other country may reach you, maybe it will not reach moscow, but it will reach the court, as it turned out that you, living in the border regions with ukraine, communicating for decades: with your neighbors, crossing 155 times through this the border, knowing for sure that there are no nazis there was not, is not and will not be, how could you not believe your own dull eyes, your own television, what is happening to you in general with the residents of the kurdistan, belgorod, voronezh or bryansk regions, well, i still understand the people who live there in the primorsky krai, and who have never seen anything, no one, nothing,

except a little... tiger, they have not seen that tiger, it seems that everyone was killed there, but i understand people who live in the kamchatka region, in some yakutia, they watch tv, they do not know at all , where is ukraine, maybe nazis really live there, well, let's imagine, but you, you, especially the border strip, you are complete idiots, you are asking a rhetorical question now, vitaly eduardovych, everything you are saying now is so logical. well, it is absolutely like 2 + 2 = 4, not 5, not 6, not 8 and not 20. but you are asking this rhetorical question to ordinary residents of the border regions at a time when, excuse me, even ksenia sobchak says that she collects there some help with your project for the residents of kurshchyna, belhorodshchyna , and so on and so on, who

were affected by the events. armed forces of ukraine, that is, she now qualifies the problem as arising from the actions of the armed forces of ukraine, and this, i'm sorry, i'm not saying that she is a standard of some kind of intellectual opinion, but it would seem like a person who claims to be a journalist, at least that 's how it happens, which journalist, ksenia sabchak, is part of the system, and she does what is considered generally acceptable in this system, i... here is money for the civilians of ukraine who became victims, victims of the behavior of the armed forces of the russian federation, she did not collect neither for the residents of kharkiv, nor for the residents of odessa, and these are russian cities, why don't you collect money for the residents, nor for the residents of other ukrainian regions, and those who were maimed, and those who were raped, and those who were deprived of property , and those who live without light, and those who can play in the cold,

did not collect any money for anyone. although she has this money, thanks to her connections with the putin family, and her husband bagomolov, yes yakiv bagomolov, yes bagamolov, kostya bagamolov, the son of a well-known television reviewer in moscow, which, thanks to the upbringing of a good family there, got several theaters, he closed the theater of roman viktyuk in moscow, you know, uh, that's it. these people are busy, so it doesn't surprise me at all when you talk about all these moscow families, all these patricians from the cesspool, i'm sorry, where did they all come from, then they are generally like that, well, it's just me surprising, since i knew both ksenia's father and her husband's father, and they were serious people, both of them, and this is all a sham, simple. who owes everything in life to

her parents, but she herself does not struck to be where they are, you see, that's the trick, and i have to think about all these people now, what they 're collecting there, what they're not collecting, what the curator said, that's what they're collecting, uh, so that, as we can see, the other representative of the russian establishment of the opposition nemov, belev shlosberg, lashed out at those russian votitioners who are greeting. how can it be that a politician must be with his people, you see, they are all scoundrels who do not deserve our respect and attention, i.e. lev schlotsbir, he means with the russian people, but marlene dietrich, she was not with the german people and traveled.
