the russian ministry of emergency situations warns: protect your home, install a fire detector. safety starts with you, russian emergency situations ministry. hello, international review is on air, in the studio fyodor lukyanov. today on the international review program. events of the week. chronicle, facts, comments. geopolitical swings or the era of unexpected alliances, strategic cooperation with the dprk. vietnam, towards new relations. transition to payments in national currencies. washington

is unhappy. let me tell you fortunes for the american elections. seismic analysis in forecasting. materials of our program. these are americans. they walk along the korean peninsula along the thirty-eighth parallel. behind them is the occupied united states and south korea. we were separated by 10 steps, another step, and the cameraman and i would have crossed the military demarcation line. they seem to be simple-minded guys, for a good salary, performing a not so difficult service, but let’s think about how their oppressive shadow darkens the lives of koreans. documentary film thirty- eighth parallel, filmed in eighty-one year. political observer of the central

television alexander kaverznev , in the 43 years that have passed since then , everything in the world has changed, only on the korean peninsula the mise-en-scène has frozen, the division of the once united people, ideological antagonism, the american military. until recently it seemed like a strange rudiment, but the circle is closing. having begun in one cold war, the korean confrontation led to another. at the end of world war ii, korea, under the auspices of the un, was divided along the 38th parallel into two zones between the ussr and the usa. attempts to create a unified state was not successful and in 1948 two independent governments emerged: the socialist korean people's democratic republic in the north and the pro-american capitalist republic of korea in the south. each with its own.

an economic model, a constitution, and the hope of one day uniting the peninsula under his rule. the intensive development of the dprk was largely ensured by the help of the socialist camp, and above all the ussr. it accounted for almost 90% of foreign trade relations. the government is active invested in heavy industry in the military-industrial complex. south korea at that time was nothing like the modern republic. after the war, it was hit hard by...

thanks to industrialization, living standards rose faster in the north than in the south in the immediate post-war years. already in the sixties , the creation of nuclear infrastructure began in the dprk, and in the seventies, work on the creation of nuclear weapons began, but the production of consumer goods lagged far behind. in the south, after the removal of lisimman, a new civilian came to power government, but the military, dissatisfied with the state of affairs, overthrew him.

general park chung-hee, who later became president, took power into his own hands. in the seventies, the vietnam war marked the beginning of close cooperation with the united states, which was reflected in rapid progress. economic growth, but all this happened against the backdrop of a state of emergency and arrests of dissidents. the democratization of south korea began only in the eighties; as for the social structure in the north, kim irsen built north korean society according to juche model. this ideology proclaimed the exclusivity of korean autonomy and the cult of personality of the leader, which, after the death of the leader , extended to his son kimchen il, grandson kimchen. who rules north korea today. vladimir putin visited north korea, lightning fast, but meaningful. a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement was signed. interaction reaches a new

level. russia no longer looks back at international restrictions; it proceeds from its own reasons. we’ll talk about the content of the visit with the guru of korean studies konstantin osmolov from the institute. china and modern asia, konstantin, hello, not a guru, okay, guru, guru, many compare the agreement with this one with the one that was earlier in soviet times, well, they compare differently, what is common and what is different, we are generally at war we will not get involved on the korean peninsula, as far as i understand, and the agreement is similar to treaty 61, but if we carry out analogies further, we will remember the soviet reaction to...

making minefields, this is not preparation for the northerners destroying roads, building walls, offensive. another thing is that, since a hypersonic missile takes a minute to fly from piangyang to seoul, as part of the security dilemma. both north and south rely on a preventive strike as the best means of defense, which the other side considers as preparation for an aggressive war, but here, if we remember the third article of the treaty, which talks about consultations, then this rather slows down

the likelihood, because in the event consultations are being held in the face of a threatening situation, and here moscow, in my opinion, will rather think about how, together with...

to exchanges, from economic to tourist, then, a separate resolution on the development of healthcare, science education, and north korean students. especially engineering and technical specialties will be very happy at russian universities like merea or festeha, and i specifically want to note that these are students, and not workers disguised as students, because the country needs north korean military-industrial complex specialists. as for healthcare, again, the northerners, of course, managed to fix it in 4 months. coronavirus epidemic, but as it turns out, a fair

amount of medical equipment is under sanctions, if, for example, moscow builds a medical center equipped with modern equipment in phinyang, then this can solve a number of problems. on other issues, some areas are covered by sanctions, the question is in relation to them, and this question is what is in the contract, what is...

among other options, a combination of price, quality, safety and invisibility, plus another important point, in fact , north korean workers work on a rotational basis, their import and export takes place under the full control of the state. south korea naturally, i am alarmed and indignant. have already stated that they will return to the issue of arms supplies to ukraine, what, in principle, can be expected

from seoul and its allies as a response? the united states, of course, is increasing its pressure, since jaunts kiol has long been asked to reconsider its policy on the ukrainian issue, and the main argument is precisely this: it has been proven, in quotes, that pinyanyan is supplying pokémon flying saucer shells to moscow, which is interfering.

they try to remain more than others, they count on the fact that when their own or

otherwise, relations will end and return to the previous level, perhaps the south koreans will even take over the business of tech companies that have left for good, yeah, and they are also trying to take this factor into account in siuul, so we’ll see what actually happens with the red line, and stoltenberg directly asked: it was everyone has been in the korean dossier for many years and, in fact, why the sanctions were all promoted, the nuclear program, with it, now can we say goodbye to denuclearization, god forgive me? with de facto denuclearization, in my opinion, we have said goodbye yet, but not quite at the trump stage, but somewhere by this time, because north korea is a full-fledged

nuclear power with a hydrogen bomb and a normal arsenal. and, as vladimir khrustalev noted at one time, those methods of denuclearization and elimination of the nuclear program that exist and worked, they worked in countries whose nuclear program was just beginning, and taking into account the north korean underground factories, in order to accurately achieve denuclearization , you will have to occupy the country, and this is associated with great problems and risks, therefore again... other specialists from the institute of china-modern asia began to say quite early that we need to move from denuclearization to arms control, in general, yes, in the current situations denuclearization is impossible, in fact, kimchanyn was also either in the nineteenth or in the twenty first year, he honestly said that there would be no negotiations on this topic in north korea, of course,

thank you very much, konstantin osmolov was our guest. the democratic people's republic of korea is an extremely unique country, with with its unique aesthetics, even for those who remember the soviet party style or are familiar with chinese ideological models, exoticism on the verge of the imaginable fascinates with inspired surrealism. behind the hypnotic spectacle, the questions are not only two-sided. the north korean plot occupied a special place in...

yes, that is, the ban on everything - we haven’t reached the russian track yet, but in general we are moving in this direction, but there is one very significant difference: sanctions against russia are restrictions that based solely on the actions of individual western states, but sanctions against north korea are, after all, unilateral, western ones coexist with the regime of sanctions of the un security council, with the regime of restrictive measures of the un security council. and to legitimize their unilateral actions, the americans, the eu members, and others very actively refer to security council resolutions and say: well , look, we generally implement the security council resolutions, but where we consider them insufficient, we supplement them with our own norms. this is a very important difference. by the way, the americans

acted in a similar way against iran. sanctions have existed in one way or another throughout human history. but they recently became the main lever of pressure in the nineties: the new individual leader undertook to level the political landscape using methods of economic restrictions. over the entire period of its existence until the ninety-first year, from the forty-fifth year to the ninety-first year, practically the security council practically did not fulfill this function, so to speak, this task, its purpose, in two cases in total was when the sanctions were adopted.

positions begin to converge between the permanent members regarding how the council should take appropriate measures in order to prevent the deterioration of peace, violations of the peace, acts of aggression and so on, here, so to speak, the very concept of sanctions has expanded somewhat , if in the first decades of the un's existence, sanctions were mainly anti-state in nature. that is, they were directed against the state and began to try to develop a new concept of sanctions, not only to introduce against the state, which , of course, continues to judge, but these smart ones or their targets in different ways...

let's say, they advanced, china and russia took a careful position, china in fact now remains one of, well, essentially the only such major trading partner

of the dprk, and we know such a special approach to russia, yes, but we did not have any sustained interest in torpedoing the un sanctions regimes, but... on the other hand, we were on our way , let’s say, in line with the overall un narrative on sanctions, which increasingly asked, unfortunately to the americans, another thing is that we had our own position, it never dissolved in the american one, for example, russia consistently advocated for the expansion of humanitarian exceptions for north korea and for food and medicine, and so on, quite often russian initiatives. well, in fact, they were already torpedoed by the westerners, what do us sanctions mean? secondary sanctions against those who violate the regime of restrictive measures against north korea, and

if we actively worked with north korea, then there were risks, first of all , of american sanctions, and now, when the americans, in fact, with each new package , more and more of our companies include more and more of our companies, it is already difficult to find large companies that are not under... the logic is, well, what ’s stopping us from working in north korea? the issue of moving away from un sanctions, the adoption of which russia previously approved, is a delicate one. lawyers will have to hone their skills, especially since the spirit and letter of the un charter are not always perfectly clear. when we say, when who can decide the issue of stop acting now. resolution or establish that it has been exhausted and, the measure, not the resolution itself, the resolution itself is no less, it has gone down in history, in the archive, so to speak,

of activity, it is precisely the measures that were taken on its basis that are stopped, that’s the question the security council itself, and how it should be regulated, permanently, so to speak, with the participation of all permanent ones or not, this issue is also not unresolved, but many assume that it was accepted. all states supported, meaning not only the majority of the security council, but permanently members, which means that this is how it should, so to speak, stop, but let’s just say that international law is silent about this, if there is something to argue about on the international side, the internal legal framework is ready to review relations, in principle , it is not written anywhere that we 100%, all these are the measures that are prescribed. resolutions, relatively speaking, of the security council, must be indicated in the charter, this is also not found anywhere, cases show that in some cases the russian federation simply copied, so to speak, what is there, in

in other cases, some new things were added taking into account, so to speak, the nature of the relationship there or our capabilities, and some were not mentioned at all considering, apparently, there is no need to apply them, therefore, from the point of view of russia , in order to terminate the sanctions regime introduced resolution of the security council, it is enough... to cancel the presidential decree, from the point of view of today's legislation, including the constitution, everyone remembers, of course, part four of article 15 that international treaties and generally accepted principles and norms of international law are part of the russian legal system, but now the seventy-ninth article has appeared, or rather it has been supplemented, it was there, but it was supplemented with the fact that if these mandatory decisions do not contradict the constitution, they are not applied in the russian federation , a mechanism has been introduced, article 125: moving away from

a single political standard to their diversity, and where there is politics, there is law, they are certainly shackled by one chicken.

let's translate from clerical to understandable, everything is not so scary if there are instructions.

from pyongyang, vladimir putin went to hanoi , also on a state visit, the rhyme is certain, both countries have not abandoned, at least formally, socialism. both survived splits and wars, both were intensively helped by the soviet union to fight, what do they remember there? from the very beginning of the conflict

, vietnam faced an important task - to attract china and the soviet union to its side. beijing was the only one that could provide assistance with people, but the vietnamese seriously feared that chinese volunteers might remain in the country after the victory. moscow was the only one a force that could be provided by modern weapons, primarily anti-aircraft systems, which meant that the military would come along with them. there were no specialists in vietnam. at this level, nikita khrushchev was in no hurry to directly enter into a conflict, but leonid brezhnev, who replaced him, decided to intervene. the vietnamese made an offer that was difficult to refuse. in exchange , the ussr would receive captured samples of the latest american equipment. military aid flowed in like a river. from 65 to 74, through a group of soviet military specialists, more than 6 thousand officers and generals, and more than 4

thousand conscript soldiers, these were air defense specialists, crews of anti-aircraft systems, pilots, repair and restoration team specialists, navy officers, representatives of the ministry of the navy, journalists, in the end. after the video distribution in the ussr, the second part of the american film ramba, numerous legends appeared about hundreds and thousands of soviet paratroopers who swarmed the vietnamese jungle, however, these stories are not supported by documents; on the contrary, the military-scientific group experienced difficulties ministry of defense, which was also called trophy hunters. often, under convenient pretexts , vietnamese representatives hid the crash sites and postponed visits to the damaged equipment. it also happened that the chinese representatives were the first to arrive on the spot and had already managed to remove all the most valuable items. china put pressure on vietnam, because all the food aid went through it, without which...
