at least to you from the point of view of political science, does he succeed in this and can he succeed, or will the ukrainians not burn out, there is nothing new here, all the psychopaths of the politicians of the past, they all always justified their greatest evil with some kind of historical visions, even by their own interpretation you know, hitler called the plan to attack the soviet union the barbarossa plan after the name of the emperor of the roman empire of the german nation, that is, he also looked at the greatness of the great medieval germany and they justified an attack on poland an attack on the czech republic by the return of some old lands that were lost here it is important that the ukrainians, as i don't really like this saying, but that there are not

three hetmans among two ukrainians, that was the same historically. i am convinced that this war has already given good lessons for ukrainians, first of all, lessons that you need to learn ukrainian history well, secondly, you also need to learn the ukrainian language well, and thirdly, that there should be unity, there should not be this, where there are three ukrainians, there are two hetmans and one traitor, you know what they say, and the fourth is that you need to trust only to official sources, you know, very often on the air, when you turn on the live broadcast, they ask me here with a link to telegram-khan . the general staff we must listen to what the general staff says and what the commander-in -chief of the armed forces says and don't read the telegram channels that there is some kind of treason written somewhere, don't listen to what my friend's uncle who has

grandfather and he has an acquaintance who serves in some battalion and they saw some kind of treason there, no when we pay attention to these informational noises and among them there may be a lot of russian disinformation and propaganda and they have not come up with anything new either. believe me, whether our struggle was a hundred years ago or 80 years ago that is why she suffocated, they were drowning in lies and they were also drowning in lies, that is why, for example , disguised units of the nkvd fought against the upa in order to lie about the struggle of the ukrainian insurgent army in this way they said, the nation was formed, you as a historian gave such a good diagnosis, okay. and so that we don't start quarreling with each other, we now have such risks or prerequisites or nothing. putin will start pulling some strings. for this, he will definitely start doing it. i am sure that he is already doing it because this is a war of

extermination, in essence, it is a war of who will be exhausted first, who will surrender, who will be tired, and that is why russia will definitely do it . there is no such thing as too much, so this immunity must be constantly maintained. and there must be absolutely complete conviction in society that anything that comes out of russia is absolutely false, a lie . let's give a very good indicator of the difference between how we ukrainians and russians lived in the last 30 years. this is our level, the level of prosperity and the shock with which russian soldiers entered the ukrainian bypass and did not understand how to use it toilet bowls let's go to the statistics, for the 31 years

of ukraine's independence, our population has decreased by more than 10 million people, according to the state statistics, in 1991, almost 52 million lived in ukraine, and at the beginning of 22, a little more than 40 one million, not including the temporarily occupied regions of donbas and crimea in addition to the population decline, the number of children in ukraine is rapidly aging, compared to 1991, it almost halved, but the standard of living of people grew every year by ukrainian gdp for 31 years of independence, measured both in billions and in trillions as well as in several national currencies in the 1990s, which preceded independence, the gdp is 167 billion roubles, and in 2021 - 5.5 trillion hryvnias, according to the world bank's calculations, the gross national income per capita increased more than twice in 31 years from $2,610, per person in the 1990s to almost five thousand dollars in the

21st, also according to the information analytical group autoconsulting, if at the beginning of independence there were only 58 cars per 1,000 residents of ukraine, then by the 21st year this indicator increased by more than four times and now it is 245 cars per 1,000 inhabitants of ukraine. kyiv has a significantly higher rate, almost twice as much as in ukraine as a whole: 400 cars per thousand inhabitants . and here is a fact operator. here you can interpret it differently here well, how can you interpret it differently can we say that after gaining independence in the 91st year of fishing, we already, well, at least we tried, maybe for the first 10 years, but then like this after the orange revolution on the maidan we started to build our country, the country that ukrainians want to see, in which they want to live, despite the fact that, unfortunately, the number of our population is decreasing,

although it should grow, i would like to. well, very interesting statistics. by the way, it is really worth saying that often in countries where the standard of living increases the population is either decreasing or its growth is significantly decreasing, there is such a phenomenon, so to speak, but on the contrary, in poorer countries, the population is growing rapidly . what happened in ukraine, well, the 90s, this is essentially still post-soviet ukraine, where the elites ruled still soviet to a large extent, and 2004 and especially 2013 two revolutions - this is already the arrival, firstly, of a new generation of politicians, and secondly, it has grown completely. and in russia they simply noticed and realized that since the generation

is changing, a completely new reality of ukraine is being formed, and ukraine is simply moving away from this union with the kremlin of this the traditional alliance with the kremlin, the traditional attraction to moscow, and therefore decided to start using the force method to try to keep it in its sphere, that is, in fact, briefly summarizing when, let's say, until the zero years, while the communists were in power in ukraine, russia understands that we are somewhere in the field of its influence, but the further ukrainian the nation was growing and we understood that we do not want to join the customs union. we want to be in the european union. then, naturally, russia could resort to force. in fact, you saw that it resorted to force, and this is actually at the end of the year, or rather at the beginning of the year, it resulted in what we saw, you know, at the beginning of the 90s, you all

know what you want, these are nationalist patriotic organizations, they predicted a war with the russian federation in one way or another, despite everything, it was inevitable, i will say 22 in august 1992, 30 years ago, such an important in my opinion , state-building act uh, uh, our government in exile , the government of the ukrainian people's republic in exile, led by the last president mykola plavik , solemnly handed over uh, the act of uh, drawing up their powers and transferred their powers to the new ukrainian government headed by president leonid kravchuk, the legal uh, so to speak, the power of kravchuk was transferred from uh, this foreign state center, and you know that such a historical historical parallel is very important ukrainian the people's republic always continued to

be in a state of war with the russian soviet republic, and russia is actually the heir of this republic, so you know what's going on, it's heavy, that's the story, you know that no agreement was signed of the peace treaty, as soon as ukraine became the legal successor of the ukrainian people's republic , it was clear that it would be a war, because i started our broadcast with this, i said that the ukrainian independent, democratic, successful state is the biggest threat to the russian modern russian empire , because then the russians they look at how the ukrainians live there, how do the belarusians live there, they are used to the fact that we lived in the same state, and you know, i think i went to irpin or bucha after the liberation and read the inscription on the desk that the buryats left there who gave you the right to live so beautifully, yes, they are really jealous of all russian chauvinism. it is

built on envy and misunderstanding, that is, the very system of putin's management of this country, that is, the classic imperial one, when they and the subjects of the federation suck out all the wealth, all the minerals everything that can be sucked out of there and in fact these subjects of the federation are kept on subsidies for just such a needle as romanov and that's why dagestan is the poorest subjects of the federation that's why they offer them a model let us offer you service in the armed forces of the russian federation and that is why there are so many people from buryatia from dagestan from, for example, yakutia of the same yakutia, the republic is extremely rich, the republic is extremely abundant, one of the richest countries in terms of minerals in the world, which has diamonds and rare and rare metals that are there, but in yakutia, the majority of people live beyond

the limits and poverty, this is all the methodology, you know, the manic methodology of the imperial administration, to keep them all humble, to keep them all beyond the border poverty to keep them all on handouts and this is the only thing that the russian empire is holding on to, that's why i urge all our viewers not to be afraid of russia because russia is a colossus with feet of clay and sooner or later it's just a classic law of political science that sooner or later all empires decline and fall apart and i'm convinced that you and i will witness the division of the russian federation, it would be desirable for the authorities, but we will really see the disintegration of the russian federation, and if we are talking about its development, we are already starting the dessert promised to andriy, so what form is there well, a huge number of different nationalities of different uh, it's a federation and it's an empire, but i don't remember from history that russia directly disintegrated, russia disintegrated in 1917, and quite simply like a

house of cards, how it disintegrated more than fifty state entities on its territory arose very diverse, both nationally and regionally, for example, the numerous cossack republics, the don kuban, and others, but they later united anyway, were united, or rather, you united, in fact, this process was repeated to the core the conquest of the territory of the russian empire and they established their despotic one-party regime, a very strict dictatorship with a very strict suppression of any opposition, even within the party itself, and in this way they were again able to collect and buy up . well, then everything was successful in finland and poland, so as a result of that collapse, they remained free and you know how i say, here is this er, at one time, er, while still a journalist, a tv presenter, er, i

got into such a situation, the press parties in lithuania wanted to show us ukrainian journalists how he lives a successful european post-soviet lithuania and then we were lectured by the ambassador of that time, the outstanding lithuanian dissident petro sweater, we have a sweater, i say and what do you think the future of ukraine is, he then looked and said, you know, ukraine is further under the permafrost of the russian federa, i say you in every lenin is standing in the village, many people look even further at the russian federation as a second country , a neighbor's country, and even then petro takuna said to himself words that shocked me, he says, i do not rule out that there may be a war between ukraine and the russian federation when you you want to get rid of this eternal permafrost of communism. eternal peace, the golden empire, it could with eternal results retreat a little bit retreats retreats retreats well, look at ukraine, the truth is becoming ukrainian, i will then otherwise ask the question, the final collapse of the russian empire is not situational, then the collection back is possible with e in somewhat in a

smaller volume we have borders, but still, on a large scale, we can see it. i think we can, but the biggest problem is that the society of russia itself has an imperial mentality and in fact, for the final collapse of the russian empire so that it will never be revived, a change in the very mentality is required. this society has been brought up for centuries in the persian mentality in obedience to its ruler, the king, the general secretary, the president in this case without the truth, absolutely such that when the government has absolute power over you, in principle, you have nothing against it that's why we really need structural changes in consciousness. for example, this happened in nazi germany . the temporary liquidation of the german state in general, the division into occupation sectors and the

denazification program that lasted for about 30 years. until then, finally, consciousness did not change because, as of 1945, many germans did not even know or did not believe that the holocaust took place, that there were death camps, that there were concentration camps in their country, they either simply did not know or believed that this was enemy propaganda and analogies suggest themselves here, i agree and partly not later it will be difficult for us, the russian federation, we just need to understand what this is this is actually the last patchwork empire of the world, which consists of more than 90 subjects of the federation of 21 republics. the republic, which in the early 90s, following ukraine, lithuania , estonia, and latvia, proclaimed acts on the state sovereignty of the republic, even some of which have the position of president, such as tatarstan, that is, in they have all the attributes of sovereignty, and it is precisely here that our ally can be the greedy local elite, which, like

then in the soviet union in 1991, it is clear that it can. well, today it is the second elite in the soviet union, and tomorrow it will be number one at the level of the republic so do these elites, when they realize that today they are the number two elite compared to moscow's putin's, and they can become the number one elite in their rich republic and be well, you know how the slogan is to stop feeding moscow and the second - these are not my words, there is such a brain center the american jordandetion, in which an outstanding nuclear classicist of modern american political science works, polkoble probably knows the russian federation best, dissects it piece by piece, and he actually predicted the collapse of the russian federation for 50 years, it is he predicted even before the war, when the war began. he revised his predictions and said that the collapse of the russian federation will be much faster and he identified two main reasons for the collapse of the russian federation. the first is why the russian federation

. what is it now relying on fear and this power the power of the imperial or rather federal center, and the second - on subsidies on economic subsidies, therefore the weakening of the regime and the second - this is the fall of the economy - these are two things that will lead to the collapse of the russian federation and now the russian federation is successfully approaching these two indicators before the destruction of its own economy, and in fact it is obviously possible after the death of putin to weaken the federal center and when these local elites, for example, are extremely numerous, and yakutia or such a state called tiva is actually the last state that was included by the last force in the russian federation according to the results of the second world war. she seems to have been included in 1946. teva is known for the fact that shoigu is from there.

and tv is actually extremely strong. such anti-eski sentiments, if you talk about russians and you are a white person, they can kill you. imagine this, the russian federation for us. it is hard to imagine there. one gets the impression that everyone everywhere considers themselves russian, even in the middle of nowhere, they can kill russians, and that is why russians do not go out there at night. on the street the same thing, for example the situation in buryatia in bashkatostan, but unfortunately we ukrainians know that russia has always been interested in us, always been interested in ukraine , they took ukraine into pieces, they and their political technologists drew maps of ukraine the west and east central were all the time scared by the openness of ukraine, and we ukrainians were never really interested in the russian federation, we did not know what kind of beast it was, what it was made of, in fact, it is not necessary to fight it, it is, as i said, a colossus on clay feet, these are all the republics that will one day begin to will fall apart and we will see an independent

republic of the mordovians and in which, by the way, two great peoples live, the mokshans and the ars andriy, even among the ukrainians in our audience, apparently no one knows such names in the people as mokshans and arzyans well maybe you heard vladlen marayu in his uh youtube channel definitely mentioned these uh these peoples because with moscow i remember in one of the releases but should we watch russia so much should we lay the foundations for the collapse of the loss and the collapse of the russian empire, will it happen automatically after the return of crimea, after we drive the russian army out of our territory, will the boiling processes begin there, some kind of struggle of spiders in a jar and will they eat themselves or not? should this be our policy of our security, that russia disintegrates necessarily because, of course, the processes themselves will be in russia, but they need to be accelerated and activated, we need to

work with local elites, we need to find contacts, we need to study them, we need to know more about russia, and then , unfortunately, we have studied russia very little during these 30 years of independence, what 31 years have already passed, very little attention was paid to exactly which peoples live in russia and what kind of relations there are with the center between them, accordingly, it is necessary to establish contacts along the lines of these local elites who in the future can become to the elites of the newly independent states, andrew, tell me what kind of mood you have against the background of this historic struggle at the front, let's be realistic, there are still big losses. well, there are significant losses among our people. the ukrainian people but does this harden even more fighters at the

front vadim i woke up on february 24 from the explosions of ugu and immediately went to join the ranks of my 112th territorial defense brigade, which was formed in kyiv, and i came to my colleague who was already there i was in the brigade, who called me in principle. i say yurko. and how many do we have now? well, he names the number, he says several hundred. well, i will not say the exact number. and i say several hundred thousand. he says no, there are only a few hundred of you in kyiv. at that moment i was a little worried, but when he and i went out to, in addition to our e-e, our assembly center, and there on the street on the avenue, you know the okean elza concert. yes, several tens of thousands of people who were motivated and patriotic, who were ready to sleep on the frozen ground in february so as not to to miss my turn and stand in front of the 11th brigade at

the time when the occupiers pushed into kyiv. i realized that this people is impossible, we must also realize that the old post is like the world truth, an army of slaves, such as the army of the russian federation, will never defeat an army of free people, such as ukraine. it is simply impossible , it has never worked in the world, an army of these slaves will defeat an army of free people, and when i saw the motivation when i see these patriotic people, we managed to assemble a brigade in kyiv in a matter of days, several tens of thousands of armed people, whatever at least they were armed with machine guns and then at the beginning of march i realized that the russian occupiers would not be able to take kyiv, then, in my opinion, a turning point in the war occurred when the russian occupiers were forced to flee from kyiv, this is where they went, uh, they planned to take kyiv in three days. well, i i actually

saw the parade uniforms that the russian occupiers carried in their wagons to parade around kyiv. i saw how they had er-e written rations for three days, they really hoped to take kiev in three days and they didn't succeed and therefore it is literally just returned from kharkiv oblast from the front, and the boys and girls are just as charged, just as motivated and patriotic. and when they fly on their drones, if they drop on the russian occupiers or find something, they circle our ukrainian artillery there, they are not just incredibly charged, you know, there are a lot of stories which we can talk about only after the victory, obviously, but the boys and girls, even when i go to the teams to go on rotation, they don't want to come back because they want to beat the occupier and when you see it a generation that grew up in independent ukraine, which

clearly knows that it is fighting for its people, for its families and cities for its own streets. well, it seems to me that it is impossible to defeat such an army, that is, i remembered the saying of valery the valiant commander-in-chief that if it were not difficult for us, we would definitely not be ashamed. yes it's definitely about the armed forces of ukraine and i want to say that it's about ukrainians in general because we have something to be proud of, we have something to be proud of right now and let's literally have 5 minutes left , er, about that and in general for our history of independence yes, since 1991, which we declared, what can we be proud of modern ukrainians who made our country famous in the world, one of the initiators of the declaration of the declaration on the state sovereignty of ukraine and the act of proclamation of independence of ukraine, politician, publicist and political prisoner vyacheslav

chornovil was active an activist of the resistance movement against russia, he is known as one of the main fighters for independence in the 20th century. he was posthumously awarded the title of hero of ukraine. leonid kadeniuk, but the books and collections of the former soviet dissident lina kostenko are the best-sellers among ukrainian books every year, and the author herself is included in the list of the most famous women of the ancient and modern ukrainian tradition by acting in films with world directors and actors, the memorable ukrainian bohdan stupka became famous on the musical front ukraine, the crimean tatar singer jamala, she became the winner of the eurovision song contest in 2016, and thanks to the ukrainian economist bohdan havrylyshyn , the world forum appeared in davos this year, our the athletes had to answer about ukraine boxer oleksandr usyk defeated ex- world heavyweight champion anthony joshua for the second time last year usyk took four championship

belts from the englishman thus musyk became the absolute world champion in boxing in the first heavyweight is the heavyweight world champion and european the women's chess team also surprised this year's champion five ukrainian women won the chess olympiad this year ukraine finished the tournament without a single defeat with seven wins and four this is the second gold medal of the women's team of ukraine at the chess olympiad in the history of ukraine, the best result in the history of ukraine was shown this year by the paralympic team of ukraine at the paralympics . so athlete serhiy bubka set a world record that lasted 26 years, he was world champion 10 times in his career, and vladimir and vitaliy klitschko are both known as the kings of boxing former heavyweight boxing world champions, they were included in the international boxing hall of fame

, known for their world records, ukrainian swimmer yana klochkov, ukrainian football player andriy shevchenko, known in the world as the best football player in europe in 2004, and in 2009, the ukrainian club shakhtar won the cup uefa and this list could be continued. yes, but uh, this is how we are identified. as ukrainians, this is the flag that is behind you, so we see that they understand what ukraine is and can we talk about what now when they hear the word ukraine, they will say it is somewhere near russia, what is possible about russia? now they will say about those peoples that we talked about, where, where is it somewhere near ukraine, mr. volodymyr, i am not asking, it is quite possible, because literally 10 years ago very often abroad , there was a situation when the question from where is answered that ukraine says something similar to the essay of

rasha, eh, now most likely. well, in principle, what is needed for this, for this, you need to be constantly in the top of the news, so to speak, so that about you they said, but now ukraine is not just a country that is being talked about, but a country that is fighting for the real right to independent existence and repelling aggression against a country that is much larger than its territory and population . probably for the first time together we understood the price of freedom , the price of strength, the price of our will, the enemy will never reach our soul, our heart, our ability to live freely, the unbreakable right to be free , the unbreakable power to preserve our history, unbreakable

will for a happy future future for which we fight for our land we fight for our children we fight like our heart oh in ukraine and also volunteers everything is possible everything will find everyone feed everyone's tails save the house donate for airplanes collect for doctors help lullabies sing foresters they equip everyone they embrace glory to ukraine to the whole world ukraine is glorified to the volunteer family there is no translation all of ukraine thanks you the enemy dreamed

of capturing ukraine in three days but we did not let our freedom be taken away together we stopped the russian ortova and together we will liberate our native land we will definitely rebuild the destroyed cities and villages because we ukrainians are all fighting for our country as one sbu defend independence we are approaching victory we will intercept defeat we will win what are you not news
