high-ranking politicians have lost their moral boundaries, breaking taboos that persisted even during the most tense moments of the cold war. in countries where such elites rule, citizens gradually accept, as a given, first xenophobia, and then extreme forms of discrimination, persecution, sometimes on national, sometimes on ethnic, sometimes on religious grounds. we all know how quickly... in such a situation , the dehumanization of the ruling regimes sets in, what consequences do they lead to for specific families, people of all sorts, and of all sorts ages, we see this, and discussions between experts have become almost impossible, i don’t have to tell you what’s happening in the field of sports, like in the field of culture, has any cooperation, any exchanges between russia and western countries been preserved? horizontal connections have been preserved, we

are all talking about the fact that the term itself, which was unimaginable 2 years ago, cancel culture, cancel culture, was basically unimaginable, we all coexisted very closely with each other, the inter-museum dialogue that began between the soviet union and european countries began in 1920.

then believe me, it did not stop horizontally between people who devoted their entire lives to art, who love our country, who love our music, who love our literature, we see this , including in the repertoire policy of leading european theaters, we see and hear on stage pushkin and tchaikovsky, prokofiev and glinka, one way or another, it turned out to be impossible to cross out the names of russian performers, including including due to these amazing relations that have been developing for years. i repeat, these connections are horizontal and now at the forum of united cultures in st. petersburg there are representatives of 80 countries, these are not only friendly countries, these are not only the brics countries, the highway and the cis, which.

helped, and of course, russia is not responsible for those measures, for those sanctions that the west has taken against russia, but this was taken, as a result, the russian economy is rising to a completely new level, and this is now beginning to be recognized even the international monetary fund, which is sending its delegation to russia for the first time in many years. i am not afraid. to say that in

military terms, of course, russia is having a very difficult time, but russia has risen in military terms to a new level, we probably cannot yet say, the great, mighty soviet union, but in general, everyone sees that russia is a great military power, capable of resisting a huge western coalition, here in the field of culture, we...

art and for us it is very important that international communication with friendly countries remains very actively developing, but at the same time, dmitry, i will draw your attention to what unique opportunities are opening up at this moment for intra-museum

communication in our country, what amazing exhibitions, at the moment, when we are communicating, are working in vladivostok in suzdal, what wonderful spaces.

for children's art schools, for our conservatories, philharmonic societies, for our libraries, which are really now experiencing a real renaissance, this is what we are talking about these days on our forum united cultures, we share experiences with our colleagues, we meet with my colleagues, regional ministers, we discuss the topic of a new iteration of our national projects in terms of culture. olga borisovna, thank you very much, thank you for your time, thank you. thank you even more for the important and noble work that you are doing very successfully, i hope that you will appear on our air again. thank you, see you, thank you, we are going to commercial, we will be back in just a few minutes. you will not like what i

i'm going to say. radoslaw sekorski, a polish russophobe with a british passport.

she arrived, sat on a box, took a guitar, had a drink with us there with one mizka, it's her

business, yulia checherina is awarded a medal for participating in a special military operation, her generation is fighting, who grew up on her song, this is our land, and we are on the front lines, the premiere of a documentary. on sunday on channel one, the big game is on air, now we'll talk about the elections in the united states, more specifically, about the debates between the two candidates that took place this week for the presidency, let's talk to our wonderful correspondent.

therefore, her victory is possibly temporary, and thirdly, that the struggle between them will still be difficult, and there may be any different options, do you agree with these general conclusions or do you have a slightly different point of view? you know, you watch the american press, it should be recalled that in general, the majority of the american press -

will go to vote on november 5, and the main struggle was during these debates, yes, so the cnn channel, having assembled its focus group, announced that six out of ten undecided, so -called voters, after the debates said that they would support trump, but on the other hand, we have, for example, the rating agency rators, which, well , tries to maintain a neutral position, so if you believe it.

comments, and - you know, in an attempt to find some more or less objective picture, i turned to bookmakers' bets, so, if ...

a good article in which she compared the story of kamel and haris with the story of cinderella, if you follow this analogy, the newspaper wall street journal wrote that the honeymoon for kamala harris is ending, that is , the ballot is ending, and the carriage will soon turn into a pumpkin, these debates, yes, probably, partly helped to delay

the end of this ballot, yes, to delay the time when the carriage will turn into a pumpkin, but it is hardly possible to say: some final victorious decision in this election campaign. and in general, you know, dmitry, it is very important that here in america many experts are paying attention to how voters are divided not by color by the sign, yes, not by red and blue, yes, by the colors of political preferences of republicans and democrats. many are now paying attention to the fact that voters are divided by gender: men and women. so, before the debates, and trump 's ratings among male voters were about 15% higher than kamal and harris's, and absolutely the opposite, among women, and harris's ratings were about 10 points higher, the ratings were about 10 points higher than trump's, and, you know, many were paying attention to the fact that women, republicans,

women who adhere to republican positions. also began to gravitate more towards haris, why? in many ways, trump's offensive statements towards kamela haris played a role, when he called her stupid, and you know, it was not so much the party solidarity that worked, but such female solidarity, but following the debates, as many experts here in the us believe, and support among trump's male electorate increased, because many did not like it... experts say that men really did not like it, and trump, on the contrary, strengthened his

positions among the male electorate, well, i had a specific reaction to...

the president, of course, of the united states plays a significant, weighty role, but he does not decide absolutely everything, and we can pay attention,

as you probably paid attention to the conversation about international relations, which took place at the very end of the debates, and the only, perhaps the only hope that maybe somehow relations can change between our countries, even if it is a small hope, but hope for trump, who is more, of course, he talked about the fact that he accused his opponent of the fact that all the problems in the relations between our states, the problems of military conflicts, today lie in the fact that the current biden harris administration, but simply does not know how to negotiate, simply does not strive to negotiate, tries to solve everything by force, and trump positions himself as a presidential candidate, possibly a future president, as... a state that will strive first of all to negotiate, this is probably still a position, we can do more to impress, because it is precisely about

the need to negotiate, to resolve issues at the negotiating table, that our president vladimir putin very often speaks, here, of course, there is at least some, some commonality of our positions, our views, although once again, yes, trump, of course, is in many ways a hostage of the financial... industrial complex of the united states, the military-industrial complex of the united states, into which gigantic amounts of money are poured, and which is absolutely not interested in improving relations between our countries now countries, because they are, of course, earning fabulous sums now. i must say, it seems to me that my reaction is the same as yours, ambiguous. on the one hand, i am grateful to trump for raising the issue of the danger of nuclear war, a topic that people really don’t like to discuss. in washington, but the danger is there, it is real, and it seems to me that not talking about it to voters, but this is simply not serious, and

it shows that a person like kamala harris is not ready to fulfill the duties of the president. dmitry, talk about what about dangers of world war iii, so, in fact, in america, it must be said, the majority of voters do not really understand where everything is heading, where the policy of the united states is leading, but... nevertheless, if you pay attention to the poll published a few days ago in the new york post, a fairly serious poll by siena college, it turns out that, imagine, about a third of american voters, american citizens, who are people who should entrust kamali harris with the control of thousands of nuclear warheads, and the control of the red button, making responsible decisions, you see, they don’t even know at the moment who kamala harris is, despite the fact that she has been the us vice president for more than 3 and a half years, they don’t know her, and no one knows what to expect from her, accordingly, the situation in international politics is probably even worse,

because heads of state are not very familiar with kamala and harris either, but on the other hand, when i looked at how much trump deviated from his initial plans, from the recommendations of his assistants, i had the impression that... again, like in 2016, firstly, he doesn't have a strong team, to the extent that he has a team, he doesn't fully trust them, he doesn't fully listen to them, why is this important for us in russia, yes, because when we think about his policy, if he got into the white house, then for us what is important, of course, is not only and not so much his impulses, how much he can carry out and... life, so his somewhat, let's say, unpredictable behavior in debates, makes me personally afraid that

his intentions may be good, but i'm not sure how to implement them effectively, thank you very much for your time for your excellent reports, it was a big game, we'll meet on air next week, radoslaw sekorski, a polish russophist with a british passport. he was a candidate for the post of insec and was involved in the coup d'etat in ukraine. he was the first to thank the us for sabotage on the northern streams. will ukraine expect peace talks, will poland enter the war , why in warsaw?

today we are joined by a polish judge thomas schmidt. hello. hello, belarusian journalist grigory azarenok, scientific director of the russian military-historical society mikhail mikhkov. hello. and the head of the center for the study of military political conflicts, andrei klintsevich. friends, hello, let's get started. we talked. with the minister of foreign affairs of poland, radoslaw sikorski and called talked on behalf of the former president of ukraine petro poroshenko. they were slightly acquainted in 2014, so we made up for, so to speak, the communication deficit. let's watch the first fragment of this conversation. i know that zelensky, he is my opponent, he is trying to organize peace talks. do you think it is time to negotiate?

can i be absolutely frank with you, because we are friends. you may not like what i am going to say. i respect your position, but you can be frank with me. i thought you made a mistake, and i told you not to do it when you came up with the normandy formula, when it later transformed into the minsk formula, because the previous formula geneva. included russia, ukraine, the us, the eu, which i think would be better for you, and i 'm afraid that zelensky could make the same mistake, in other words, fall into a formula where ukraine loses control, like 140 countries telling the russians to go away again, i don't think that's going to work, i don't think putin is under moral

pressure. that ukraine will pay for this. you know, the interests of the united states and yours are not the same, but they know that their credibility is at stake. neither this administration nor the next one will be able to let this go. brakes, because it will affect their credibility in the eyes of all of america's allies. and we can only count on the united states

because the next president. could be worse than this one. i talk to people on trump's team, they tell us that they don't know what trump will actually do, but they tell us that trump will threaten putin with escalation in order to get a better deal. i'm just relaying what i was told. he says that the interests of the united states and ukraine do not coincide, but nevertheless, in order not to lose face, they will try in every way to influence...

some advancement of their interests, in this situation the poles quite openly declare that this is an adventure that will not work, and i will remind you that in twenty-second, twenty-third year, you remember how poland and ukraine were friends, practically the names were exactly the same as the united states, he is now speaking, he is skeptical in fact, but in order not to lose face, they speak big words, poland and sikorski in

this regard, they are betting on the fact that... some president will come then we will decide something and do something then, because now they don’t want to do something and somehow conduct business with ukraine for a long time, the root of the problem is what is the main thing, to me. the desire to fish in troubled waters, that is , western ukraine, well, how, how else, we know, when the svo began, there were just thoughts about poland entering western ukraine, and then we’ll see, we’ll negotiate with whom, with the americans, with russia and so on.

when else will poland have a historical a chance to grab what was once greater poland, which was part of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, perhaps there will never be such a favorable moment again, so they still want it, they still itch, let's say, this idea that poland will acquire, from the polish side, it seems to me, but from the side of sekorski, tusk or duda specifically...

ukraine, the baltics and belarus, all this led by greater poland, the new polish-lithuanian commonwealth, and this is one of the main projects of the anglo-saxons in eastern europe, the new polish-lithuanian commonwealth, a large anti-russian formation, which stands between russia and europe.

probably, well, i don’t know in the world, but in europe for sure, thousands of korean tanks are ordered at once for tens of billions of dollars, thousands of artillery systems, for two generations ahead, they can’t afford it, nato’s third army after turkey and they are creating a huge number of heavy divisions, they want to increase the armed forces to 300, what is this for , this is to physically cut off the functioning of the european union from within, that is, they are becoming such a gendarme, because with the permission of the americans they are not afraid to present an invoice to germany for...

look at the historical perspective, poland was many times a member of various cordons against russia, let's take the 18th century with you , turkey, sweden, poland, let 's take the 19th century with you, let's take the 20th, the entente, the entente is not enough, after the first world war again poland, czechoslovatia was built, and what happened, each time poland found itself in the epicenter of military actions, there were troops passing through it, some, some, some others, it was abandoned, completely.

access was, that's true, that is, they should

now worry, worry, worry, poles write to me, a lot of them, tomasz, how will you be in russia, please tell me, not all poles are russophobes, tell me, we are asking you about this, i promised, i will tell you personally, seriously, not all poles are russophobes, and so it is in poland, it is simply a problem both for the polish authorities and for...

our opposition in grodno got down on their knees. on their knees, but what is interesting is that regarding the recruits he says, well whose cow mooed, there is no place to put the brand, he also went to afghanistan, as an american spy, he he also snitched on the special services of the polish people's republic, he has agent nicknames, it's all published, everyone in poland knows it, like there's no place to put a stamp, that means, and he says that someone was recruited, he serves all

the special services, but whoever pays more, at least in poland what a reputation a sekórsky has, a sekórsky, everyone knows who has a brain. he works for england, for great britain, for the usa, well, in general, he held many posts, he was the minister of defense of poland, he was the minister of foreign affairs, now he has become one again, and he headed the sejm of poland, as far as i know i know, he was a marshal, he was a marshal of the polish sejm, and he even applied for the post of nato secretary general, an interesting person who managed to hold all the important positions, well , this is normal practice, by the way, pay attention.

and his task is to very clearly follow this plan, any politician, european, polish, who comes, he understands that you can do whatever you want, scold russia, quarrel among themselves, attack germany, but you just need to sacredly fulfill the tasks that washington set, but with all their anti-russian position they are not quite ready to fight for ukraine, let's look at the next part: we are trying not to remain ukraine only within the livov region. odessa cannot be lost, and you must not let them close to the river, if we lose some control, could you help us? as far as i know, macron, if macron agreed, and if the uk agreed, you could join the team. my prime minister would not want

to do that. you know, we are now debating whether to shoot down russian wing missiles over your airspace, from our airspace space, without entering your territory, and even this is very, very controversial at this stage, there is no agreement on this, because it would mean entering the war, so poland is not ready to defend our country, right? will change, if ukraine, if the front begins to collapse, everything can change, but at the moment the desire is to do everything zero, we are fighting for your independence, i know, but training ukrainian citizens in poland is feasible, and i think we will do it,

we hope that we will be able to prepare for you a couple of brigades this year or next, but polish soldiers inside ukraine...

of course, but they won't be given nuclear weapons, he knows this and wants to avoid it in every possible way, the americans are holding their political elite by the seat of their pants, and they will be drawn into this more and more, but for now they... nobody wants to fight, it's not a war for ukraine, it's a war for zelensky, for the oligarchs for the ussr, ukrainians who live in

poland, there will be 2 million of them in poland, as i also talked to them, nobody wants to fight, from his words i understood that in fact ukrainians, you can cope on your own, you must cope, just don't come near our borders, because.

germany, even demanding reparations, is now covered up, now the authorities have covered up this

topic, because tusk cooperates very closely, he has connections with politicians from germany, the authorities have changed , we will not demand anything, but everyone understands perfectly well, everyone remembers the thirty-ninth year, when poland was promised, yes, we will stand up for you.

fell from poland under the blows of the red army, they wanted to destroy the symbols of the slavic zochestva, then

such cities as krakow, polsky and prague were completely mined, that is, in the czech republic, that is, all these slavic ethnic groups they took there to the east, only the soviet army saved the intelligence officers, a lot of films were made about this, they saved and cut, as they say, the beatford cords, therefore the poles and the czechs too need to be advised what they need with their as...

developed natural data allowed wolf messing to become a phenomenon, whose name is known to the whole country. people were breaking into these performances, a unique opportunity to see what was inexplicable. mak is encrypted as an artist in the company he was very modest, he could sit and not talk the whole evening. a book about

wolf grigorievich, written with his participation from his words, the only documentary. evidence of his life vol grigorievich says: next year, when the lilac will also bloom, the war will end. mesing conducted a number of experiments in the presence of professors from vilnius university, who confirmed that there was no deception in the experiments. bul kakvo, we demand the exposure of the black magic. mesinko said: "i am not a blood feuder, a test subject, do not examine me." he himself did not know who he was, create legends about yourself. the gods started with this. for the 125th anniversary of the sodnitsa. rumors about this crime are already circulating in the city, wherever you go, they say everywhere, women are lured into a taxi and shot in the back, i wanted to ask you about your find, this knot seemed very massive, although it was easy enough to break, you have been awarded

a great honor. well, major, the hunt has begun, the confrontation of the prime minister according to the legendary book of julian semenova. this is vavan lexus' show, and we continue. the main issue for ukraine is joining nato and the european union. and this is what the polish foreign minister told us about it. when i talked to

kwasniewski and other people, they said that indeed. leave ukraine, then we promise you that ukraine will not be in nato, and if you do not withdraw your troops, we will freeze the conflict, then the rest

of ukraine will end up in nato. perhaps they are making such a calculation, just bluffing. you know as well as i do that there is no desire to wage war with russia in western europe. you know, this is an absolute red line. yes, i understand, i understand, but macron is trying to convey this idea to other countries. i think it is useful to make putin think about what we will do. that is why i publicly support macron. we should not hold back. we should not say things that we will never do. and what about your opinion on the eu? because ursula also said that we are trying to find a special way how we can join the eu. what is your opinion? introduction in the eec it will happen in stages, as it

happened with us. agriculture, because your agriculture is too good, it is too competitive, you have huge farms, you have really good soil, and you know, in poland the average size of a farm is 11 hectares, right, your membership will lead to a complete revision of the common agricultural policy, which is really complicated...

votes in the council and more members of parliament, ukraine and poland together will have more than germany. here was a stunning fragment: this is pure gogol, this is pure taras bulba, well, son, did your poles help you, i mean, well, listen, you must understand, what cynicism, what a bastard, excuse me, please, what, listen, well, petro, you must understand that all this talk about the eu and nato is all blah-blah-blah, in fact, you will never be accepted as a single large state, why? because there is some france, it has already sold all its lands, and you have large ones?

with these pigs who were supposed to grunt against lukashenko there , in fact, in order to lie down under the poles, under their current elite, in this regard, well , look, ukrainians, well, you are dying for this, hundreds of thousands have already died for this, they will never take you there, they will strip you, take your clothes off, put you on all fours, as brodsky wrote, then you will be, then, naked beggar bosses, the land will already be sold, but they will not sell it to the poles, they will not sell it to the germans, they will sell it as... we all together must be against them, ukrainians, poles, belarusians, russians, we all together must be in a big slavic union to unite and expel america from the continent, why, for example, do we

choose for ourselves an alliance with russia, because again ukrainians, poles, listen, because an alliance with russia is a preserved belarusian machine-building industry, preserved belarusian agriculture, one giant market with access to the entire eurasian market in general... and there will not even be talk about this, this is completely fair, well, why, after all, the real reason, here is what he just voiced, agriculture, which will kill the polish economy.
