own fight against fakes and disinformation. scary stories about scrap metal. why the west is trying to belittle the power of russian weapons. unneeded refrigerator. who, for what purpose, called the sale of alaska to the us our most insidious operation of influence. and how much does a soviet kopeck cost. we will expose the fabrication of the theft of a legendary car from an italian concern. in short, these russians again. russia does not leave the front pages and covers of western media. what was written and said about us, about russians, this week. the most frightening. generally absurd, and sometimes even funny fakes in our friday column russians of the week. what they diligently composed, how they scared with russia and russians in the english-language media, our observer will tell. chat with us now connections. we are glad to welcome you to our program, tell us what they wrote about russians this week in america. several things were written, the first.

uses the most modern weapons, instead uses scrap metal from soviet times. after russia survived economic sanctions and pressure from the international market, russia's military spending has been cut. research and development of new weapons requires huge capital investments, and the current economic situation makes all this difficult. in fact, i can say the following, i am not at all embarrassed by what is written against, moreover, well, okay, let them continue writing like that, because the question is not what kind of weapons we have. let them write

that we have baalbanks, the question is the effectiveness of their use, it must be said that all the same, engineering personnel, no matter how it's strange, we managed to save it in the defense industry, the same sanctions, they once again stimulated internal reserves to launch the defense industry again, the defense industry drags 12 branches of industry behind it, just for a minute, yes, so well, let them write, i really like this fake, let them write that we have nothing, but the most important thing, the most important thing is the effectiveness of achieving goals, so i... i think that well, okay, well, you know, they 've been writing for 300 years about us drinking with the bear on the red square and what, look at all the pictures, there are these caricatures from the times of ivan the terrible, peter i, the first world war, the second world war now, they are all the same, the same thing, so what, well let them write, let's just talk about what is now being used en masse on the line of combat contact from our side with the ukrainian, the most common weapon of their sides is the well -tested kalashnik assault rifle. but besides

the kalashnikov assault rifle, about new weapons, let's talk about what is new, let's say, from the 2000s years plus, and what do the americans supply to ukraine? well, for example, for automatic mining, we use an automatic mining system for agriculture, yes, which was put into service in 2020, this is absolutely new already, yes, practically this system of agriculture automatically fills the space with mines in a strictly defined order, and these mines ... are equipped with modern detonators, which, in accordance with the geneva convention, after some time allow these minefields to self-destruct. well, if take the bulk of nato supplies are supplied to ukraine, yes, that is, these are all obsolete weapons that have been preserved since the warsaw pact in the countries of eastern europe first of all. in fact, nato countries are now disposing of their warehouses and supplying these obsolete weapons to ukraine. yes, indeed, there are individual supplies of various work-technical ones. but this is

more of a testing of technologies than mass supplies, in reality, why even in principle do they say in the west that we are at war obsolete weapons in order to explain to the same ukrainians why they supply them with obsolete weapons, i understand this narrative then, so why do you need new ones there, look, the russians allegedly fight with old ones, by the way, just the other day a representative of the british ministry of defense said the following, the war tested our reserves and it is good for us that we got rid of ... old equipment and can now replace it with new equipment, this is exactly about the supply of supposedly new weapons to ukraine. the supplies are not free, this is the sale of old weapons to ukraine. a brilliant financial scheme, to dump all the junk, again impose it for money and once again fill all the warehouses with new weapons, nothing personal, only financial interest. the most modern weapons that were supplied were f-16 aircraft and patriot systems, and ukrainians at that.

dances, but there was no ammunition for them, it was necessary to find ammunition for these thirty-six howitzers somewhere, there were no service personnel, so whoever knew how to use them, eventually found new zealanders who were able to train ukrainians in order to transfer

these 36 obsolete haub-119s to ukraine, there was such a well-known scheme, on which huge amounts of money were spent from australia, new zealand. and in general to talk about these british programs, they even supply gussets for obsolete t-72 tanks, which they learned to make from some museum samples and so on, this is practically a channel for recycling the entire composition, only to earn more naval weapons, but for money, we are talking about the fact that this is a brilliant financial scheme in fact in fact, which is realized due to the situation that has been unleashed in ukraine, as for tanks, the supply of nato tanks, and if we contrast them with ours, then... what are the pros and cons here? here we still need to delve into why they supply nato tanks, this is a forced measure, simply t-72 tanks, soviet- style tanks, they are gradually running out in the world, yes, they even tried to find them in all sorts of exotic countries, such as morocco,

which at one time supplied the belarusians with t-72 tanks, so they bought them from morocco t-72 tanks to transfer to ukraine, the point is that it is much more convenient for the ukrainians themselves to use. equipment, and the supply of leopard, abrams, challenger tanks, they are forced, simply nato countries are forced to take equipment from their arsenals and transfer it to ukraine, because the world has simply run out of t-72 tank arsenals, poland gave all of its own, the czech republic gave all of its own, slovenia began to give not even that 72, there were supplies of t-55s, still of yugoslav production there in the sixties, that is, the entire arsenal. ended, and as for artillery , here on our side, what is used, some artillery innovations are presented, in general, the artillery park of russia is quite new, there is used imsta with self-propelled mstab, this is a towed fairly modern howitzer, this is diatsin also 152-millimeter

long-range serious gun, yes, this is serious artillery, why was this fake thrown in, in your opinion, not yet to the end, they? author casey michelle is trying to convince readers that russia deceived the us forced them buy alaska. the most surprising part of this article is that the author claims that

the sale of alaska fits into a general line of russian behavior, which ended with russia bringing trump to power in 2016. the author connected these two events with such a bridge, well, let's watch a fragment of this article together with the viewers now. russia's first covert campaign to spread foreign influence, convincing the us to buy alaska. russia has long been engaged in foreign influence, using the same manual in the present days. selling alaska and trying to convince americans to spend the huge sum washington didn't want was one of the easiest ways to stabilize russia's finances. of course, if only... the americans could be convinced, that's how one of the biggest stories of foreign influence in us history began, the consequences of which are still relevant today. the first major scandal in the us related to foreign lobbying, perhaps the most influential until 2016, occurred in the mid-19th century. that's when

tsarist russia, hoping to get rid of gigantic territories of cold and inhospitable alaska, developed a scheme to force washington to buy land that at that time no one... needed, and it worked, moreover, it became an example that other dictatorial regimes, including future governments in the kremlin, would happily follow. well , i have never heard of such a thing about alaska, in america at all. is the history of alaska known, how it was annexed and is the story known about russia helping the young american state get on its feet. in general, no, the americans know, that alaska was once russian, but that 's all, that's all most americans know about, they practically don't talk about alaska in america, they know that russians once lived there, that there is oil there, that there are... natural resources americans know practically nothing about alaska, then chat, i

recommend that you stay with us now, because we have a historian online who will tell you everything about russian america, and about alaska we will now talk with roman azykov, a historian, we are glad to welcome you, good day, comrade, russia is allegedly accused of external influence with the help of this scheme of selling or transferring alaska, let's bring some clarity to this issue for... it is really difficult for the development of the territory , the russian population there was about 2-2,500 people, while the indigenous population was about 60,000 , the british regularly influenced this indigenous population so that it would somehow move away from russia, so that perhaps in the future they could introduce expansion to make it their colony, and if they had succeeded, then they would have not only canada, and either canada was big they would have had access to the north, then they could even lay claim to the north in the future. sea route, or it would be a separate country, as well as their colony, in these conditions

it was practically impossible to hold the territory of today's olaska, at that moment to transfer this territory to them in the format of sale, it was in many ways a wise decision, after all, it is known how much it cost the americans and how much of this money we received later, the amount is of course already known, the agreements are 7.2 million in dollars, in our rubles it is... 10 million tsarist rubles, there are different myths about how this money moved, but the most important thing is that of course we bought ourselves railway transport with this money, developed it, from the point of view of the economy here russia definitely did not lose anything, but am i right in noticing here, this is a parallel with the one who was mentioned in the sixteenth year, yes, it was allegedly russia that also brought trump to victory, i understand yes in the states, a parallel is immediately drawn that they began their influence with olyaska, a very long time ago and... look before sixteenth year, how did they drag it out, what was the plan of tsarist russia to

bring trump to power in 2016? well, you know, as a citizen, i am quite proud of my country, yes, it turns out, one of the most influential countries in the world, so what happens, they themselves admit it, well, that's nice. roman, in the context of that time, can we call this transfer to alaska an operation of influence, within the framework of the balance of power on the globe - it was a unique move on our part, we must understand that it was it is quite probable that we could not hold it, in which case it would not be a form of sale, it would be a form of retreat, and not from the united states of america, but the threat should have been expected from england. as for the financial difficulties, of course for the united states it was an absolutely profitable deal, they spent literally 10% of their then budget on it, just once. spend 10% in order to continue developing after that, now they are still mining

10-11 tons of gold there annually, therefore from the point of view of from the point of view of the united states, of course, this is an absolutely profitable deal, everything else, it looks more like english propaganda, the english at that moment lost and in order to leave with their heads held high and a beautiful face, they began to say that it is not necessary, it is unprofitable, and no one needs the territory, they are just jealous that they did not get it.

all the news that came out about russia abroad can be characterized by one phrase, yes, again these russians, so we will continue to talk. about all sorts of inventions about us, you will find out how much a soviet kopeck costs, we will expose the hoax about the theft of a legendary car from an italian concern right after a short pause, voice,

children, today on the first. calm down, we will just talk, where is the south? goodbye, where is the little one? it turns out we can go to angansk, you will never go, do you understand? what, where are you going? hello, do you know dmitry kipen? he lives in this house, oh, so this is, we know, as we know, south, premiere of a multi-part film, watch after the voice, children, we did not expect this, we did not expect, they, a certain victor louis, a citizen of the ussr, we were leading him, an unremarkable figure, never,

in any way, nowhere, a journalist, the unofficial voice of the kremlin during the time of leonid brezhnev. "i read your sensational material about the change of the russian leadership, it's amazing, what kind of connections do you have there in the kremlin? my neighbor works in the kremlin, as a janitor, a man of mystery, who stood behind the most high-profile events of the era. yes, who will publish them, my memoirs, you , well, you're nobody here, but i could send them to the west, they'll be snatched up there, people have the right to know the truth, the only legal soviet millionaire, for all this, well..." will pay someday, and i have already paid. an informed source in moscow, tomorrow on the first. they will kill him there , you will be guilty of this. the country's security is worth one person. hello, my dears, this is the most action-packed, musical-detective show, my dears. closing,

as you think, what is hidden behind...

the nose is perfect, better than agutin's, exactly, exactly, the suit, in fact, is mine, one of my favorites, velvet, everything is mine, that's it there was a movement, no questions, his things, his song.

this is the antifake program and we continue to discuss fakes about russians for the week. let me remind you that chat haur, a political observer, is in touch with us. chat, what else amused you, were you interested, what news? there was another article about the lada being a stolen fiat. this was published everywhere on telegram, on twitter, on all social networks about the fact that. russian designers borrowed the design of fiat. we see that these cars were recreated in other countries, and if it

was stolen, then it was stolen by all these countries. today, all these cars are driving around the world, in cuba, in africa, in the middle east. and my opinion is that russia did not steal this fiat, it just modernized it. my wife had a zhiguli, so i had a chance to drive russian cars, and this is a pretty good car, how can an ordinary american and the english-speaking audience in general react to such rumors, will they believe it right away or will it still raise doubts? most americans have never seen a lada, they have only seen a fiat, chat did i understand correctly that any american,

australian, englishman would believe that russia allegedly stole the design of the car from fiat and then produced them at its own enterprises in the union republics, did i understand correctly, of course, especially now. cities in the country, the construction of the largest automobile plant in the union has begun here, in which the italian company fiat is participating. the history of our enterprise is 58 years old, today avtovas has produced more than 31 million cars, at a time when we have everything it was just beginning,

the country really needed a new mass-produced car, the entire soviet auto industry at that time could produce around 200,000 cars a year, this was certainly not enough, and a significant portion of the cars were distributed among institutions, that is, they often could not be bought, it is believed that... fiat offered not only a car for licensed production, but also a turnkey car plant project. we also have historical documents. the avtovaz museum, where

we are now, contains copies of the agreements, the protocol of negotiations between fiat and the soviet side. this is the protocol of the negotiations held on may 4, 1966 in the italian city of turin. and this... document already establishes the basic parameters of cooperation in the sense that joint work begins with the fiat-124 car, and the fiat company transfers to the soviet side all rights, all licenses and know-how necessary for the production and sale of the car. moreover, fiat undertakes to settle any claims, if any, that may arise from someone in relation to those same. this car goes now on the roads of our country on the roads of many countries of the world. the soviet country, in

turn, conducts comprehensive tests of the italian prototype, and the italians, based on the results of these tests, pledged to make certain changes to the design, and these changes were quite significant, because it turned out that the fiat is quite gentle for... our road and climatic conditions, the car was redesigned, well, almost completely, the body was strengthened, the design of the transmission, suspension, brakes were changed, finally, at the insistence of the soviet side, a different engine was used, an overhead instead of a lower one, by the way, the italians later implemented many of these solutions on their original models, here in the museum there is an original... 124 from a private collection and almost anyone can come and look for these differences. in fact, in this situation , the avtovas concern has every opportunity to...

the population, it does not perceive russia the way specially assigned mass media perceive russia, yes, which form the information space, like information space in regular publications, that is, in newspapers and magazines, and in the information space on the internet, again the internet, as you know, is a specially designated information space, the key word is specially designated, yes, which forms a certain type of opinion in the audience

that consumes this product, but well, yes, this exists, we need to understand that we will always, at least recently, be considered guilty of everything, we are simply, we are appointed guilty, and very long time ago, so there is no need to pay special attention to this, you said that there is no need to pay attention, it seems to me that on the contrary, we need to pay attention, because when we take such fake news spread by russia, we can look at it, turn to... the first source and get even more reasons to be proud of our own country, and this is always nice, i also remind our viewers, if you have any doubts about some news, send them to our editorial office, if you have reasons for pride, be sure to send them too, we will certainly tell you about them here on the program, all the best to you.

security council of the russian federation and the topic is generally somewhat unusual for the security council. let's listen to the president. the topic of our discussion today. it seems to be not directly related. relevant areas of science, historical science, these are issues that should first of all be discussed in the scientific community, this is all true, this is how it is, nevertheless, we know that in

recent years... history very often is used in modern politics as a means of achieving certain political goals in relation to our country, and is often done in a very dishonest way, and this, of course, already concerns today's current policy and the attitude to this on the part of the official authorities of our country, therefore... i propose to discuss this topic today, we have two speakers: medinsky, vladimir slalovich and lavrov, sergey viktorovich. history, at one time, a british intelligence officer, a specialist in psychological operations, well, and the famous author orwell, said that:
