i was saying goodbye to jus, my mother asked me for the opportunity to at least sit in the cockpit of the plane on which andriy wanted to fly. oh, i am very happy, in fact, i was going here and i think, well, the body can die, but the soul remains with by us, and i think that andriy now sees and hears all this and rejoices. pavel durov, the founder and ceo of telegram, was detained at the paris airport in france. the billionaire arrived on a private plane from azerbaijan, french media reported. previous durova may be charged with complicity in terrorism, drug sales, fraud and money laundering, and a search warrant was allegedly issued due to his refusal to cooperate with law enforcement officers. and i will remind you, recently the idea to regulate appeared in the parliament the activity of a sharing platform, in particular telegram. since the special services

have repeatedly called this network harmful to national security, this is what the author of the initiative, mykola knyazhetsky, says. our state should know who is final. such platforms, for example, viber and whatsapp are registered in the eu, and therefore comply with the european act on digitalization, but telegram is not, it is not registered either in ukraine or in the countries of the european union. the ukrainian state knows nothing about the owners of the telegram company. network administrators refuse contact and, for example, delete information that threatens national security or spreads pornography. ukraine cannot control servers, traffic, content, or personal data. that is, absolutely nothing. my bill requires transparency. if this is how youtube and facebook work in ukraine, why can't telegram work? only for one reason, it is not about business and not about information. this is propaganda and ipso. the russian telegram is as much a threat to the state as

the russian church. and president zelensky does itself should allow its deputies to support our draft law. the trojan horse of the kremlin must be thrown outside the walls of our state. china has condemned the united states' sanctions, which refer to restrictions on companies that help russia in the war in ukraine. this was reported in the financial post. the chinese government said it would take the necessary measures to protect the rights and interests of chinese businesses, and called washington's actions typical of unilateral sanctions that violate the global trade order. let me remind you that on friday the usa announced the introduction large-scale sanctions against hundreds of companies in russia, europe, asia and the middle east. a fatal car wreck occurred in the kyiv region, one person died, the tragedy occurred on the fastiv kozhanka highway. according to preliminary information, the 62-year-old driver of the car

a republic, a joint matter of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, so at one time such terms were used in order to outline what is the common one, we deleted this name from the act on state independence, and i already told you that i crossed out the word republic with my own hand from the act on the state independence of ukraine, why did the republic not please you, republic? they all pleased me, but dmytro vasiliovych pavlychko, who was then in fact, one of the authors of this final draft of the act, was afraid that if it was written in the act about the independence of the republic of ukraine, then the communist majority of the verkhovna rada of ukraine would notice that there is no ukrainian ssr, it was such a situation, that is, the independence of the republic of ukraine, and what about the ukrainian ssr? yes, well, he decided that they just wouldn't notice, they didn't. and it was wise on his part, or on the contrary, it was such a reinsurance, right? because very often we consume what we have inherited, i do not say that all experience and

all this is there, starting from the state border and certain things, that everything is bad, yes, that is, certain things went into the plus, that is, due to inertia, ukraine moved, but very often we lost on this, for sure, well, i think that in that day all this hung in the balance, it seems to us that it was an absolutely predictable thing, something that the verkhovna rada met and proclaimed independence, and it could not have been otherwise, it could have happened 100,00 times. to be, it was an effort, really quite serious, and a group of people who had opposition to their decision and in the people's council itself, among the ukrainian national democracy, because many believed, and among them were volodymyr hrynyov, the then vice-speaker of the parliament from the democratic opposition, and larisa skoryk, that without the prohibition of the communist party there can be no independence of ukraine, and the communists... believed that the independence of ukraine should guarantee the survival of the communist party, because on this very day boris yeltsin in

moscow banned the communist party of the soviet union on the territory of russia federation, and actually between these two desires to ban the cpsu, and that was the main idea, or vice versa to do everything possible to make ukraine independent, but... with the communist rule, between these two desires had to be passed at this very moment , and the fact that ukraine did not begin to be called a republic is the result of this fear that we will not be able to declare independence in any way, to vote for it in any way, and i remember that until the last moment there were such fears, so i think , that... about independence, it will be reflected, in general, when levko lukenka wrote this first

draft, which we saw this morning, there was generally a ukrainian people's republic, he wanted, and this, by the way, i think was right, to restore the ukrainian people's republic, so that we don't just say there that ukraine is independent there, the heir of the ukrainian ssr, no, yes, ugh, we are simply restoring the onr as we say, the justice of a century ago, conditionally speaking, like latvia, lithuania. year, but again, we did not have a majority , unlike the baltic countries, but now we do the majority, yes, it might be worth correcting certain things, that is, when we talk about the self-reliance of the ukrainian people's republic, then it is possible to solve certain historical, historical-legal dilemmas much easier, when we, in particular, say... how should we deal with the good ukrainian communists, and they were actually representatives of the soviet

occupation regime, that is, if we believe that as the administration, yes, yes, well, as posypaks, conditionally speaking, yes, that is, if the ukrainian people's republic was the foundation from which the current ukrainian independence grew, well, accordingly, this is the period of the 1920s and 1930s, that's how we should perceive the builders at that time, i'm embarrassed, of course. because latvia, lithuania and estonia restored their independence in those state borders in which they were internationally recognized before 1940, moreover, the russian federation appropriated the area of ​​latvia, the current petalovsk district of the russian federation, the former abrene district, and the district of estonia,

current ivangorod in the composition. of the russian federation together with the district is international recognized territory of estonia. by the way, that is why, when on august 27, 1991, the press secretary of the president of the russian federation made a statement regarding the possibility of territorial claims to the former soviet republics that have borders with the soviet union, he specifically emphasized that this excludes any problems with latvia, lithuania, estonia. why? because they knew for sure that it was latvia and estonia that could present claims to them, and not to the fac'. and in this situation, latvia, lithuania and estonia could restore their independence without fear, let's say, about the inviolability of their borders, or even more, they could indicate to the russian leadership, well, you recognized the restoration of our independence, and what about the pitalovsky district, well, here, but we have a completely different

situation, because the borders of the ukrainian people's republic, as they were recognized. during the agreement between the german people's republic of china and soviet russia in brest, so beautiful the brest agreements are not the borders of the ukrainian ssr, they are not the borders of the modern country, and a huge part of the internationally recognized territory of ukraine is not enters these borders, therefore we have no other way out in the current situation at least, as you can see the resistance from the ukrainian people's republic. to the ukrainian ssr and from the ukrainian ssr to ukraine, simply because the ukrainian ssr, unlike the dpr, was a universally recognized subject of international law, simply by virtue of its membership in the united nations, and in the united nations, it of course, it was in those borders, ugh, which it exists declared its independence on august 24, 1991. that is,

as far as i understand, part of the former chernihiv voivodeship, which the russians now call kursk province, yes, well, we cannot and will not join us, because that would undermine the legal status of our recognized borders, as far as i understand, yes, well, we can talk about the fact that there are ethnic ukrainians there, but well, talking about such a hot issue, yes, because people are discussing, asking questions, what should we do , what should we do with kurdistan, well, well , if kurdistan is the territory on which ukrainian troops are located, which they repel it... russian attacks on ukrainian land, but it is an internationally recognized territory of the russian federation, we cannot do anything there , we can hold this territory until the situation stabilizes, or until the moment if the russians succeed in knocking out the ukrainian troops there, everything in general in 1991 was absolutely obvious to everyone that the borders between by the union republics, by the way, the borders between

the autonomous republics that were part of the union republics are conditional borders, ugh, the only possibility to survive without war was to recognize these borders as established and by the way all almost all the former soviet republics were ready to go for it, perhaps due to the difference in the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan regarding nagorno-karabakh. this was such a specific episode that started back in soviet times, when the leadership of the nagorno-karabakh autonomous region appealed to the supreme council of the ussr with the demand to transfer the ngo from azerbaijan to... and it was such an episode, so between armenia and azerbaijan there was this the conflict is real. everything else, in principle, was based on the fact that we recognize the established border. but there was only one the union republic, which would not agree with this version of the development of events. it was russia, not ukraine. transnistria, huh. abkhazia,

south ossetia, it was still 1990-1991. then the attempt to separate crimea in 1990-93 years after the election of yury myshko as the president of crimea, when in fact the head of the crimean government with ministers, and the head of the administration of the president of the arc, all of them were russian citizens, specially dispatched from moscow, exclusively with one goal, with the goal, as we understand, to do everything. it is possible for crimea to become russian, well, it happened before 2014 and before the war in the east of ukraine, that is, the whole problem is not ours. it is precisely in russia, from the point of view of russia it would be very beneficial to recognize the inviolability of all these borders, because in russia itself there are problems, internal,

the question arises as to how logical the borders are in general, say the republic of tatarstan, 2/3 of the tatar population of the russian federation live outside the borders of the republic of tatarstan, therefore, the national competitions of the tatar people, if they were to begin, would naturally call into question the constancy of the borders many subjects of the russian federation. buryats living in three subjects of the federation at the same time, disconnected from each other. kabardino-balkars and karachay-circassians, each of these peoples is a relative of the other in another republic, but for some reason they live in the united republics, where they are not related peoples. i can cite a huge number of such examples in russia, but the russians, instead of somehow deciding that there is a status quo, it must be nurtured, it must be developed there... went on the path of expansion, what we see is confirmation this course? no, they probably could not have worked in a different way, because, well

, that’s how it is embedded in them, yes, that is, the essence of their existence is the deployment of expansion, so in order to try in this way to still withstand or adhere to the so-called imperial internal stability, but if we are already talking about 1991, it is paradoxical. at the time, i had the impression that this was an incomplete gkchp, the one that tried to seize and hold power, proscribed gorbachev in the crimea, in foros in the country under arrest and so on and so forth, that they they just helped everyone, that is, this weak attempt, it caused the fact that we did not receive the renewal of the soviet union, yes, that is, the communists received a certain ee... how to say, a wolf ticket in the plates of society, they stopped being perceived, and so a certain initiative of the political plan appeared among the local communists, who were no longer ready

to submit themselves, the same kravchuk, yes, that is , he did not go with korovai as a communist, he already went with korovai as a ukrainian patriot, yes, a representative of the titular nation, which deals state creation, that is, the communists, well , de facto, they became morally untouchable. well, the question here is that we do not even fully understand what actually happened on august 24, 19-23, 1991 in moscow. officially, it seems that on august 24 or 25, the new union treaty was to be signed, but the question arises, who would sign it? it was not going to be signed by all the union republics, at least in ukraine, no one was ready to sign any union treaty there, that is, there was a big the number of... soviet republics that were not going to join it, these were latvia, lithuania, estonia, their independence at that moment was not granted by the soviet union, it happened only after a while,

georgia, uhu, armenia, azerbaijan, so that the parameters related to the karabakh conflict were not determined there, and both republics were not satisfied with the actions of the union center, the republic of moldova, ukraine, that's how many, eight, yes. so who was left then? russia and the countries of central asia? ugh. and a plus armenia no, armenia was not going to sign, because i say again, it had a problem with karabakh. if she had signed the alliance agreement, this problem would have been recognized by her as non-existent. they did not sign. plus belarus. central asian countries, russia and belarus. and the question arises, what they wanted to disrupt then, because this agreement. in any case, very conditional, there was one more problem, which was why i had such a problem, in simple

language, that is, if they had already bothered to arrest and put gorbachev in custody, then why did they not bother to put yeltsin in custody and not only yeltsin, that is, the putsch foresees some kind of system, this was not done here, so they sent, it seems, the general... to kyiv and so on, they sent other emissaries, on the ground the cells of the state security committee tried to work, but synchronous arrests were not made, that is, why didn't they go for it, why didn't they keep it all, was it the declassification of the kgb at the time, or different ideas about what should happen next, huh , here it seems to me, in the committee itself of state security, but there were different factions, firstly, secondly, it is not very clear how the vertical of power obeyed them then, to what extent they could count on such concentrated efforts of power structures and the power as such in

place. they were afraid of an open confrontation with the leadership of the russian federation for one simple reason: boris yeltsin was the universally elected president of russia, and this was their big mistake in general, that they allowed the elections. gennady yanaev was not only not the universally elected president of the soviet union, he was not at all the president of the soviet union. he was a person about whom the majority of the population of the soviet union learned on august 19, 1991. i well remember the election of gennady yanaev as the vice president of the soviet union, i was then at the congress of people's deputies of the soviet union, and i then questioned mikhail gorbachev, ugh , why did he propose this candidacy at all, none of us from the people who covered this congress of deputies, who worked with politicians, and could not understand it, it was nobody, this person was known exclusively for his inclination to of alcoholism, but everyone says that there boris yeltsin was prone to alcoholism, but boris yeltsin really was a person who could... well,

quite a lot of alcohol, but at the same time, boris yeltsin's interest in life was not vodka, power, and gennady yanaev's interest in life was vodka, not power, it was, this, these are different things, agree, when vodka is a hobby for you, well, for many people not only in russia, vodka can be a hobby, but when vodka is sense, for the sake of which you achieve some success, you hardly can to manage something effectively, and everyone understood perfectly well that it was ... nobody and nothing, and therefore this man could fear that if he gave the order to arrest the popularly elected president of russia, it could lead to greater excesses than it appeared , and can cause a rather negative reaction from the heads of other republics, who were also presidents, who were ready to somehow cooperate with the gkchp, but in conditions where they were sure of their own inviolability,

because where there was really an attempt to establish... control over the situation, it in the baltic countries, there were actually hostilities, and in tallinn, and in riga, and in vilnius, there were already special forces units there, they stormed the hotel where the latvian government was, they did it there because they believed that they were foreigners people and the pskov division itself, yes, these are foreign people, they were the leaders of popular fronts, but this nomenclature, yeltsin was a representative of this nomenclature, nazarbayev or karimov, or not. but could you ask, well, you arrested him today, and tomorrow you will arrest us? well, listen, we have control over kazakhstan or tajikistan more than you, and it could be one moment, another moment - the role of mikhail gorbachev, here we are talking about the arrest of mikhail gorbachev. in the summer of 1991, i met with the first president of the self-proclaimed transnistrian moldavian republic, igor smirnov, in one of

the hotels. central committee of the cpsu in moscow, before and after the meeting held in the verkhovna rada of the ussr by its then head, anatoly lukyanov. at this meeting were the heads of transnistria, abkhazia, south ossetia, gagauzia, and, i think, certain other territories there, which were considered such territories, er, let's say so, with the possibility of using them as a union center. do you remember what they were then. attempts there to create interfronts in the baltic countries, in estonia, in latvia, lithuania, that is, there was and was such a group of people, i will not be responsible for the full composition, because i simply do not know it, but i know for sure that the leaders of transnistria , abkhazia, south ossetia, gauzia were there, because i know this from igor smirnov and from the first president of the self-proclaimed republic of abkhazia, vladislav ar, because they both told me about this meeting, but smyrnom spoke about it in more detail, ardzimam simply informed me

that he was at this meeting. not within reach after we met with them in moscow. smirnov told me that lukyanov required them to be ready at the end of the summer, because at the end of the summer a normal constitutional order would be established in the russian federation in the soviet union, in general, that there would be no such union treaty, which strengthens the position of the nationalists, and that, in principle, at the end of the summer , a restored stability will be established, they have. be avant-garde stability, by the way, the leadership of the so-called pmr, it supported the gkchcp, please, a few hours after the start of the meeting, but the president of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev, came to this meeting for a few minutes, he was there, he basically, as as was typical for him, he did not say anything specific, but he demonstrated by his presence that he knows what anatolii

lukyanovich is doing, that the meeting itself. the president of the soviet union with leaders
