so police example additions, and some politicians are for smaller people with a lots of sole, and it tastes from music while others, new and most have no such taste of sydney focused on hating russia. and you know, maybe there's end up or repaired them to go all the way. yes, i think it's stupid. no, because of. so do you think um, cuz it's plain stupidity really or do you believe this some motive, the like limiting access to russian performers because they may be sold with lane some rushing musical, but access to russian performers is severely limited in the was so from the point in from the present way to watching logan was uncomfortable, and those are lots of russian musicians. i don't use that. i have been living abroad for long times and use the see if we still the educated and told here in russia together lives the 0 to minute. i think that listeners who can still understand the true spirit of russian music schools use the glass until recently

the segment of russian culture and most popular in the west. what hi, culture, like music belay, or fine arts. and such things usually require a certain depth where they're usually much easier to implement towards not just give intelligence when you pull, but people with a great depth of perception. do you think that this kind of empathy, comcast, disability to distinguish between defined new answers of meaning is something that's still a relevant in the world today? because we've, i think, as long as we'll leave, the subtle feelings will remain relevant and ethics. because when we are doing the quote unquote transition to a i, the it was then we can meet again and discuss this most, but go as long. however, as our intelligence is human, as a result, i was official zullie, as long as we are living people to can, yesterday, with this visit,

as will remain relevant emotions. because see as low as the complex structures of our souls, we had a face on our minds to be as we may of this connection was a come to be talking about the authors and musicians. a of that sound. that is the connection between the rational approach really then this is a logical one most welcome. one way your brain controls your hand movements. for instance, the last 2 of were actors and seniors, intonations. but that's still something that's far away from what a i can do is vt screws at the which you mentioned a i, which is a perfect segue to my next question can was, my person can be taught the right way. i just think it's not what ours are across to propaganda is about teaching people to think in a certain way. do you think it's possible to teach people the right way to feel this thing when the life we teach everyone the right way to fields to pick them

with sudden words and of course, maybe the major leap towards artificial intelligence. impressive. impose on the contrast between each person, phase 2 on the sum total of his or hers unique characteristics where they were born, how they were raised, what these experienced in their childhood. got so little of what joy's or sad moments they experienced that of junior and it will be naming it of this, that health with the civil. it was good understanding of what's good and what's bad of so the 1st that the quote what the mom and dad, i'm told them with the mom of me. but my mom for example, i'm trying to figure out that most i was interested in this too moody but, but it's, i'm a personal thing. anybody in the sense i probably didn't show a particular interest in anything she movie but so yeah, but she kept trying different things with me. so like brain thing, sports does it by the way, are used to defense things get into it. that was

a promising young sensor. no. the so to my mist, cuz then someone told my mom that sensing was bad for my races because they lose the flexibility. they need to play the violin to manipulate the bo. and so my mom made me stop, go into the fence and breakfast more did spc while i just remembered that my childhood music teacher still teaches in odessa to be at. and that was her last name is natal. i'm a concerned with the need for she doesn't go to the conservatory anymore. she has students come to her place. that would, she's quite old. as you can imagine, most of the music and all that music school is named up. so the crates field are still out. can you repeat my 1st parts of the russian violence coal deal? which in turn begin the as influenced many legendary violinists in the west, in the united states and on other countries. and so what do you think, what people still remember that today with the cross pollination between cultures

because it's hard to deny that russian culture has influenced world culture. and yet we see what's going on here, but also for us. but it was that's a great question because if you cancel the russian culture of the next, you must and cancel it influence as well. and that is there still put and that would mean suspending was you means holding cultural development with daughter could do this and that's a really good question to switch. yeah. do more stuff. i believe that even the power of the russian musics, kolscott, it appears the more than as low as mentality, the mentality of tears of trinity to me and wishes to the advantage of the russian school was musical thinking. it was a kind of name was the that's what it is and they've been messed with 3. just so tradition that has been handed down by some great musicians by shore. and even nicky, i think a great artist is not just someone who hasn't grades to click on the stupid but is always the unique personality, not an innovator, and a maverick,

a few world introduction. see if there's room. i have actually heard the saying that a great artist is an instrument which without the inspiration plays on, i e and your to real risk of football season roof of that one. and i chose to, but you were born into a family that was in physical at all. i'm a, are you just mentioned, go to your mother trying to figure out what your talent and your calling word press . so what would be your advice to our viewers? so maybe not musicians on how to still drink from that spring of inspiration to feel fully alive of 70. okay, beautiful. so just to 1st of let, you know, the, the quick me and there are many those documents by which i mean records you would need to cheaper. today we're talking about the micro chips, new just to date, we'll see days, no video records for julie web center. i don't think that someone who has no

connection to me is like a good good people. just go ahead and buy a re, quote, a couple of good ways of a performance by a legendary musician who has a gun. so that's not the way quickly. so what's my advice? being wise mom gave him for dad or the public. the other ones, because i wish i told you about this on our ski school in odessa, which is still there still and still there was like you said good for those. i don't need tell them to children. i need to tell them said, months went through and of course, and my parents were not musicians. i'm going to have not go. but my mom had a great to hear from you as like, she took some piano lessons when she was young. and i asked her why she had given them up with and she said she didn't have enough patients for a long practice sessions, up of upstairs who, who is enough for me. my dad lives throwing it to the work to me is that a tronics, you know, and he will be particularly that he had a great voice. i mean, yeah, so as soon as it turned out, i had some musical ability. when you have this good to do, please,

my grand admittedly sent over a piano because a kids learning music with the domain, it's called living at home without the piano up up, up in my dad. so tired this work, of course. but still tell me this is up to coming home from work that he learns how to play something yet. let's go. and i would accompany him on the piano playing by ear one. so you need tell them to the parents who wants the children to live interesting lives in this movie. when that's what is the my 1st question was about the attempts to cancel a russian culture. that's where prompted by the crisis in ukraine. washer discipline, and as far as i know you spent your childhood in western ukraine and your parents and grandfather are buried there. if i'm not mistaken with a scandal, and now you're banned from entering ukraine. well, i don't know. i never tried to, well, the wrong media reports same, but you've been bound for mentoring. what's your personal take on it? one person i heard you say in your interviews that you aren't affected, monitored by cancelled tours in the west. but what about into i don't see them as

canceled. i see them as postponed, but unless i yes, they might end up being postponed for decades to show some more on top of that. so i have the goals that i'm post my personal functions. i don't want to name particular cities or countries on the vehicle. there are some places where i could go with the concerts at the moment. i just don't want to make a trip with them, which i don't want to do. you have to frontier because those people who would like me to come and perform there. but i really haven't done much perhaps to influence their local governments. if it was the were to cancel this whole council culture thing certification. and if i may get back to my question about ukraine, is it important to you to be able to go there and visit your parents grades or in that way to, you know, i'm still waiting until this whole situation that has to come to its natural

resolution effects and once it does, i will surely go the if it continues for too long, i'll have the grades moved to moscow. i have all the means to do it. a master, we have to take a very short break now, but we will be back in just a few moments. stay tuned. the, [000:00:00;00] the position i would suggest in belgrade was suggesting that we send americans

and the bridges and the drink put on your bill is us. one of the most move dining probably now now that seems that it's done or when he is here, all the on use with data daily, it will see the former so fast as you know, the middle. if it is what i knew more well past closeness, most of our thoughts in this one is not at the the source or sit emotional. we run new babies, you know, a lot less radioactive than something is active uranium, but still it's radioactive. it has toxic 70 killed the laptop. you want me to go and see. so ease of us here. again, let's see the echo seats. no boeing that i don't know the museum old. i was suggesting we pharma fell great with bill. call us. what day was

the each, the, the welcome back to wells, the parts with you, a bunch of math russian conductor and a world renowned violence. yeah, but i'm gonna shoot mr. bossman machine. i was going to ask you a few more questions about ukraine, but not political ones since you spend to your childhood years involve. it's the city that store allergic stands responsible for the present day and for goodness to attitude towards reassurance. focus. and this is something really hard to understand because the ukrainian socialist republic was getting more financial support from the central government in the us ceasar than any other going south. think your premiums held officers or forward nikita khrushchev transferred crimea to ukraine across the way. and i think this profound dislike for all things

russians comes from because of doesn't it just starts in 2014, it's been building up for many years, even decades. you know, 1st of all, i was born involved. i was born in north pole on don't you are fine when you moved in thought. strange. and when i turned 5, because i see with google has an incredibly beautiful city and with 20 and they have great music school in traditions at the conservatory. the latest is the where you've probably heard of the golden ring and it includes lots of work. there's bloomberg that's involved now. and also tristan, i think, and girl, it's a total of 5 cities. and all world famous musicians would visit the conservatories in the cities and you've got several times a year to give will be now called master glasses. and most of the list, you know, most of them told such classes, centuries ago, some of the famous notes out. but the, the, his father always on one of them. so what roles had to offer in terms of music

education was superb in the states. it was b as a full and had its own traditions. you know, it's something like poland, nor is it like old story out of, of course has been influenced by austria, hungary, but i do remember from my childhood years d that they had a bad attitude towards t of. and that was because in the volts opinion gave did not post up any serious fights against moscow. the stadium used email scale gave was well integrated into the us a song. while level of the screen, you know, one german troops sense of the sits agency and they met no resistance for most quite the contrary. the local people. welcome to them because they, it's a push to solve them as liberators. go. what types of labor items from the soviet so far as a is my chair and they had this kind of sleep, let's say we're pro western, i'm thinking, so from the better starting with 0 to when i was attending the music school there, there was a class for russian speaking children, when everyone else spoke ukrainian as we could,

we also had ukrainian classes at school. but we'll have our own way of thinking and speaking, even in russia, a lot of places have their own sub dialects, traditions of things, but it doesn't involve any sort of hostile attitude towards their own neighbors. yes, because the great news won't, i think, is simply to be russian. but i'm sorry if this may sound improper in today's atmosphere. i think they want to be the 1st. what is to be number one number to lose, and that's all there is to which to me we are the same people. how many families out there are like this is a russian husband, ukrainian wife duty or vice versa. and they've got the children which this little girl overall, i think it's a very complicated process that's happening today. yeah, yes. there's an economic issue which i'm on the cabinets, which explains why this bubble finally burst. the bubble has always been there. so you sent that involve russians were show, was a not always treated in

a friendly way, but in salzburg, which he also mentioned thinks might be moving in the same direction to the corner . i wanted to mention salzburg because it was there that you had a chance to play mozart. i own that instrument and yes, you were given that on there as someone from a unique contribution to the history of music. i grew reading, dr. violet can also be a solo instrument that or the 1990, if i'm not mistaken. do you think a concert like that would be possible today that the both on your part and on the part of austria, who was more than anything is possible the cause and you told me that there was a ton, i don't remember the years. exactly. you're going to have the relations between the soviet union and the united states were incredibly tense muted because you have with them. and i believe i was a 1st year students at the conservatory at that time june got them to get caught. it was also then would invite legendary soviet musicians for years and they're so

used new. you mean i know and middle dealers and loan and cogan would go there. and some of the younger ones to i think it was the bush and even though no one else could perform abroad, but that was done exclusively conduct the whole you thinking this possible contract, just the woods. and that is why i say everything is possible. even today, the question is the whether it's necessary, what are the person himself wants to go past for the concert in salzburg? yes, it was fortunate to be the 1st person in more than 200 years to be given that opportunity to hold mozart's viola in my hands to play it between this and the wonderful coincidence. but ultimately he's the old, turned out to be a brother of my own instruments that were both made by the same viola crossman. it's about 3 years about. i don't remember which is older. you think? well, if you were offered the same opportunity today, would you take it for personal reasons or perhaps for the sake of cultural

diplomacy and diploma may fewer a gallery, more alive know, and they were offered. so let's go to most local who do most the silver ones i've done so many. that isn't isn't the thing, is that the new school? well, i know i am maybe be the most here. no budget regarding these, my namesake of troll. we're all similar to like a garden at heart. you know, we'll want to be champions. he has to be number one in sports and music and all with who knows at the office told here 9 years ago when we did good things, we came up with a competition for young composer some place for you. so we've received $69.00 application so far doing it and one of the winners, by the way, it was a crate in there were still the. is it safe for him to go back home? no one someone was i think isn't most come at the moment, but it's still has a great name passport. you never changed it. i haven't mentioned personally, but everyone spoke very highly of him. i think you on the 2nd prize though, i could be wrong. we uh,

you always wear your pendant with saint george and son. george is revered by the russian orthodox tradition as the plates from saying of the russian army. although he defeated the dragon, he died in march or his death for refusing to account his faith in favor of the roman gods, at least one according to the christian tradition, i wouldn't be the one to drop barrels here, but in some way it seems to me that russia is now also fighting for its phase, for its cultural and historical legacy, petty as well as for the right to choose its own pulse. but that's what i think. i am wondering why you mean your, what is your view on this really, how do you see the present a conflict in this kind of spiritual context with the fingers made just please don't laugh humans cuz so i'm gonna go, i'd say that they couldn't simply come up with a wave of a magic wand,

if flooding or puts in where the little president of europe told of europe, the police don't scare of yours ended of america and the a world's most. it only goes as p actually. and it's he personifies the good, the thing is today's conflict as most of else evil, the fights and evil. it's about the good thing. yep. yep. and a good as we see is of course the ssl certificate. and i certainly understand that a while america wants to rule view russell, this opportunity is the state and let's make it a twice the price and less blue or even more north of so if the facility, but all this about the market, does this load you and you there also people everywhere is good. they've got governors in every district and lots of specificities. so the president is doing an excellent job managing them old. i mean, it wouldn't make much of a difference if you go to manage from germany. they totally spain and so on and use

this. and they were very complimentary about him at the very beginning because no one has a president like this. no one. i think president clinton has no ambitions to for we do over a period while i will ask him to be, well, i think it's probably, i think he'll probably say no even to you, but he'll have a good laugh. he's got a terrific sense of humor, but it's a serious question. and you was a person distinguished with multiple international awards, including a grammy, a very one acquaintance with western culture and it's mentality. so why do you think it's so hard for western europe and for the west in general, to accept the russia as a to spanish, if not in terms of for the shape and cooperation that i'm placed in terms of acknowledging but were equally valuable. but we have the right to be the way we are because the other one. but why do i think they think that result? yeah, i should probably ask them yes it does it because you know, going to see what you ask me. we have to come up with all i can give is my opinion

of them that was present both by like classmates, french, wine, even haute cuisine doesn't mean the they're excellent to tell you. and i like to tell in wine and food. you know, the wine is amazing and level in the to the, to their food is very good and more natural than in front of you. i like to tell in fashion, in tokyo, when you're writing an elevator, you just, when you said tchaikovsky on the way down, despite the fact that the japan is, it's now not very friendly to russia, and then what does it for? they simply did not reset the settings. yeah. well, i don't know who wrote this music games. no, i can't say, but they like, it's a lot just kind of like shopping to do any of them. they loved piano music. so what did i think about us? they probably think of the kremlin stones that would people drink vodka here, attempts to be what else shouldn't they also think the trasha represents the opposite of freedom? that's russia is overall,

the regressive backward nation with no freedoms. and so i want to, to ask you as a person representing the culture at its highest little was more than can high culture exist without freedom. and what is freedom in the context of russian culture fullness full freedom that combines with a lack of taste that produces an r k. i think that and that's vulgar. and if a person has a good taste, and that's something everyone must hone and improve throughout their lives, and you'll see everywhere at the list, you'll exclude duty even as google to seen and have in taste means you have certain reasonable limits in your freedom. yeah, and that's and that's what makes freedom different from on a key. i believe russia has more freedom of speech to of course you can cut this out. so yeah, but as far as i understand, we have more freedom now than germany. we need this. no, no, this is because of all the festivals, then we must there is to invite the foreigners from other countries of the machine . if they're willing to come meet,

they may have problems upon their return home. so someone when alrighty, date is so slow and perhaps more last question the as we see now this attempt to cancel culture is no longer applied to russian culture only. but for instance, up to your door, crenza is, who is greeks, is guessing she's participation in concerts cancelled, mainly for the initiative of ukrainian positions under various pretext. kimberly. and that's one thing to think this process can eventually result in what kind of resolution can we expect? a 3 of them, i think was the best answer to your question moist lou tubes that will be if i tell you a story, what happened to me in salzburg? so that's and that was sometime before the great in conflict, but after to assess thing, woods. and so it probably may ask me much, just had a concert scheduled with the local, which in most i'll tell them, hold his truck, the performance went very well. and there was a left only the world to play one of charlotte symphonies as a 2nd act young,

but from public was very welcoming, who were a huge success. so people sending and then one person went up to the stage formula and stood in front of it. with a slogan, i don't know what it said, but he was shouting something very loudly, the audience tried to boot him into silence. like, why, what's this? no. what does it come to, the musicians, the orchestra that the, that goes in the model because try it was the local orchestra. when you both of you had been working so hard for a week to perform. i'm under my guidance use and way chief to success. it was great and the old in sort of get to closing. and so i came out on stage again to the man kept standing there with his slogan, shouting via. but i see. and you think it was about cry, mia? and he was probably asking me why i support the saying, but i never even noticed something i remember going to the beach has of cry me up as a kid was my mom, the of them was you brought to that and what i never had invitations to perform a concert and cried me a,

this is and i started guessing invitations to perform the only up to cry me a joint russian degree. and that's when i realized i don't all the time for me. it wasn't russian. it wasn't mine as well with the yeah, but do more, less and so my on. so to use back then i sold some cars. what should i do? came on to the stage for the 8th time. seemed for new so but then i picked up my music sheets of shrivelled symphony though and put them over my head up with you to the audience stood up there was told them on the clothes and the police took that amount of weight was the only thing that can save us is what lifts your soul and makes it bigger. and that's classical music, 1st and foremost shoes and speaking again, which in the present pulse. and there's a big fan of classical music. it listens to it on the plane is so new takes piano lessons and really wants to play better runs. that's where i think i know they didn't do anything i've heard and play myself. i'm sure i have these phones make

him any more popular in the west, but in any case, the says here is about popularity in the west. the 12 metro is these are countries . unity for thank you very much for speaking to us. thank you. thank you for watching hope to see her again. on was

a part of the new media research typically from here yet to nancy. kim's in the book is that probably the national should see where it gets to the young showcase. use the sounds and the to the by the ways that the boys the, the most name that will be for them. i'm not sure if this slaughter doesn't want that extra them. but adults, under that scott for united states army psychological warfare officer,

really served in the state department counterterrorism office under investor del daily the . so i wanted to come here to russia in the dawn bass area and to gather the facts, to take back to the american people. the hold on bass of the front lines, the square, the bombs and the bullets are raging. this is where people are dying. this is where the buildings are exploding the go. i wanted to see 1st hand the scars of war,

the on the footage basically revealing the sheer scale of devastation following fridays. the terrorist attack in most to the left, $133.00 people that i make shift at memorial of a seed is arranged with flowers and candles, as locals pay their respects. thoughts as of russia is observing a national day of morning. there's a sense of anger emerging here as people realize at the extent of what has occurred . the extent of, of who these victims were good, what are you doing?
