then there was czechoslovakia.long as you went into a field. and then, there was poland, which was already pretty loosey—goosey. so, those experiences of talking to people who had to be very careful about what they said, and you had to be very careful about what you repeated. it was veryjohn le carre. er, the whole thing, very familiar. so, that's creating an atmosphere, i presume, in the narrative? yes. that sense of a repressive society. and you have orwell, who has kind of led the way and he's there in your imagination, as well, i presume. but what was the start — what was the catalyst for writing the handmaid's tale? the election of ronald reagan in 1980. reagan: with god's help, we can and will resolve - the problems which now confront us. and, after all, why shouldn't we believe that? we are americans. applause god bless you, and thank you. at which there was a big pushback against what the �*70s had been doing, particularly in the expansion of — of women's rights. so, �*70s quite expansionist. you could have

many of our western partners forget the year 1938, they forget the sudetenland, that is , the part of czechoslovakia that germany itself took under its wing, and everyone thought that at that time it would be such a ransom for hitler for that he would not go anywhere further with the war, and this treaty... was then signed by the prime minister of great britain, the head of the french government, the head of the italian government and hitler himself. and on that, on this munich conspiracy or the munich agreement, there were very high hopes that it would work, but i have a question when they talk about some kind of freezing scenario, and i have a very simple question, who will guarantee that even in case of freezing of this or that situation, that putin will not resort to other'. scenarios, just we are very we say a lot of things that are wrong, well, if not without understanding that putin may have completely different thoughts and completely different scenarios in his head, in fact, he spoke about them back in 2007, speaking at the munich conference, when he said that everything , which was there u

wenk's army, this is when in 1945 hitler really expected that general wenk would come with its army, czechoslovakia unblocks berlin, in and hopes for the army were one of the key the last hopes he had then, yes. uvenka's army was defeated and could no longer help hitler, so putin's hope that trump will win, and he will then be able to win the war with ukraine, in my opinion, this is a very similar hope for venka's army, not the fact that it will happen at all. i.e., that it is not a fact that it is trump's victory, and we will have a problem of pressure from, on the one hand, from russia. on the other hand, and the politics of president trump, if he became president, well, i completely agree with you, and if you watch sometimes, or maybe often , the column world about ukraine, you always know that i constantly say that i would never vote for trump, even though if i lived in the united states of america, i would be a republican, but let me not introduce it, look, we talked about the help that will... go, i hope from europe, europe continues to help us, and now we return to ukraine, we have such, wel

just recently, in recent years, somehow started to move in this direction, but... well, in the same czechoslovakiaderstand, vaclav havel came to power there, a different situation, but it somehow overturned the values, yes , that is , the emphasis was placed on who was actually right, who was not, but this did not happen in our country, and it metastasized into the culture as such, and in particular regarding this self-presentation of mainstream humor and so on and so forth, and i or when we're talking about, say... mainstream comedy shows, not just quarter 95, and there are some diesels there, some other movies , shows, a crazy wedding, and... everything that is considered funny, now, yes, is it, can we consider it ukrainian humor, is it correct to call it ukrainian humor, is it just some kind of segment of humor, or is it that, as you evaluate it from the point of view of a cultural scientist, well, it seems to me that this is actually to a large extent this post-colonial syndrome, yes, that is, it is humor that is not... no reflected on this trauma, which is based on the same things, conditiona

we have just recently, in recent years, somehow started to move in this direction, but in the same czechoslovakiand that vaclav havel came to power there, a different situation, but it somehow overturned the values, yes , that is , the emphasis was placed on who was actually right and who was not, but this did not happen in our country and and it metastasized into the culture as such, and in particular with regard to this self-presentation of mainstream humor and so on. and so it's like me or when we're talking about let's say mainstream comedy shows not only quarter of 95 but there's some diesel there some other movies, shows, crazy wedding, anything that's considered funny now, so is it or we can consider it ukrainian humor, is it correct to call it ukrainian humor? is this just some kind of humor segment or something, how do you evaluate it from the point of view of cultural studies, well, it seems to me that this is actually to a large extent this post-colonial syndrome, yes, that is, it is a humor that did not fail to reflect this trauma, which is based on the same things, relatively speakin

about th year, similarly, what historical dimension is there in that suddenly slovaks who remember czechoslovakian. suddenly they elect a pro-russian party, which yesterday, yesterday, by the way, restored cultural ties with the russian federation, by the hands of the minister of culture of slovakia. here in slovakia and in hungary, how much history is there in today's real politics? this is quite a difficult question, because it is impossible to discuss the historical politics of other states without being inside them. of these states, well , it is quite difficult, as for hungary, first of all, it should be noted that hungary itself was once an empire, considered itself, or was a part of, the austro-hungarian empire, that hungary has the so-called trianon trauma, as one of the states that lost the first world war, that tried to renew all this during the second world war, why actually became hitler's ally, by the way, like slovakia, should not be forgotten here either. that hungarians could be reminded not only of tanks in budapest in 1956, but also of russian cavalry and russian infantry in buda

have just, just in recent years somehow started to move in this direction, but in the same direction czechoslovakiai understand, vaclav havol came to power there, the situation is different, but this somewhere, the values ​​were reversed, yes, that is , the accents were placed. who was actually right, who was wrong, but this did not happen in our country , and it metastasized into the culture as such, and in particular with regard to this self-presentation of mainstream humor and so on and the like, and i or when we talk about, let's say, the mainstream comedy shows, not only quarter 95, but there are some diesels, there are some other films, shows, crazy wedding. everything that is considered funny, now, yes, whether it is, whether we can consider it ukrainian humor, is it correct to call it ukrainian humor, is it just some such segment of humor, or is it something, how do you evaluate it from the point of view of a culturologist, well, it seems to me that this is actually to a large extent this post-colonial syndrome, yes, that is, it is humor that er... did not reflect this trauma, which is base

ghettos, prisons, in germany, in the occupied lands of austria, holland, czechoslovakia, poland, the soviet union. there was a death camp here, in gatchina, and nearby there was a camp where children were kept. at all. babies whose blood the nazis literally drained for their soldiers. and, of course, the siege of leningrad was unprecedented in terms of cruelty and cynicism. the decision of the nazis to exterminate an entire city, the memorial is dedicated to them, all the peaceful citizens of the soviet union, whose lives were taken by the moloch of the nazi genocide, which we open. today. the price of the great victory is our common pain, common to all peoples sentenced to death by nazi germany. belarusians feel it like no one else. this pain is cast in bronze and carved into stones, on thousands of mass graves, of unknown soldiers, in places of mass executions, of civilians . and the selfless exploits of the red army soldiers, partisans, underground fighters, from moscow to brest and berlin. to you, vladimir vladimirovich, to all the russian people, to all those who took part in th

we have just recently, in recent years, somehow started to move in this direction, but in the same czechoslovakiarstand, vaclav havel came to power there, the situation is different. but it somehow overturned the values, yes, that is, here accents were placed on who was actually right and who was not, but this did not happen in our country and it metastasized into the culture as such, and in particular with regard to self-presentation, mainstream humor and so on and the like, and i or when we we're talking about crazy comedy shows, not only quarter 95, but... there are some diesels there , some other movies, shows, crazy wedding, everything that is considered funny, now, yes, is it, can we consider it ukrainian humor, it is correct to call it ukrainian humor, or is it just some kind of humor segment of humor, or is it, how do you evaluate it from the point of view of a cultural scientist, well , it seems to me that this is actually... to a large extent this post-colonial syndrome, yes, that is, this is humor that did not fail to reflect this trauma, which is based on the same things, conditionall

they used to entertain in czechoslovakia, romania, hungary. ..the officers and their feces d teeth were extracted and anally okay. annetta and staff of probably the ones i know the best they did then they moved to australia to and they were supposed to be part of an experiment where they would be imprisoned by a pair of >> they would be impregnated by an identical pair of twin men because they were underweight and malnourished. there was no peer review, nothing. this, the one on the left is still alive today and come back to her in one second. and these are twins known for being the most beautiful, the sisters, and one of them said when she went to israel, she went to see the doctor and he told her lungs were like a coal mine and she was a nonsmoker and worries perhaps it was something that happened, and the problem with the older twin survivors because they go through the ordinary aging process, but you don't know if the condition is linked to them or something that happened to them in auschwitz. this is a group picture taken at the park and in

and so he was able to get word back to his sister in czechoslovakia, and then one thing led to another and the twins were eventually reunited in long island. and i have in the book i have some wonderful correspondence between them just beautiful stuff about we can't wait to meet you and and all this sort of thing. little pictures of ice. we're going to go ice skating together. i mean, really poignant stuff. and when you think about that the chances of these two meeting is just extraordinarily rare. so now we come to yad vashem and the world convention of twins and others who underwent the experiments by mengele and many people, many historians of science debated. what's the purpose? the experiments. why did he do what he did? and some people feel it to increase the german twinning rate to increase the aryan population. i think that's the reason if you want to know what causes twins, you study the parents. you don't study the twins. i think as. my. anyway, who wrote the book the doctors. that was to show genetic differences population groups and that much closer to the truth i think bec
