in recent days , it seems to me that it has become even stronger, well, actually, in medvedev’s voice, this is good evidence. so, putin is doomed. it seems to me that peace will last for the next few weeks and months. in a cold sweat and in nightmares, he thinks about how to get out of this situation if ukraine is not scared if the west is not scared hopes that they will be scared everything is more weak everything is more important but very much put on that it is not necessary that my answer is already состачание well, thank you, dmytro borisovych, for this honest and extremely interesting conversation, i want to remind our viewers that dmytro oreshkin, an independent political scientist, a freelance professor at the university of riga, recognized as a foreign agent in the russian federation, was working for you on the espresso tv channel , i am oleksandr sklyar, born and raised in

as a foreign agent, mr. ihor is currently in lithuania . greetings, mr. yakovenko, i would like to ask you right away about the most important the scenario is the syndrome of the long war in the performance about the kremlin leaders, in particular it is about medvedev's statements about the so-called existential war of russia against ukraine and, of course, how this matter is felt by ordinary russians bryansk pskov we understand that the war can be played in two ways anton well, what can be said about the fact that the war is really going on for a long time ? what he didn't understand, he didn't understand that ukraine is a large european country, that ukraine has a state, that ukraine has a people, that ukraine has an army, and that

there are no chances there, not that kiev is tomorrow. under the circumstances, he will capture ukraine, fix it and achieve his goals . no, now the war is really coming to russia . putin announced a partial mobilization and we hear that a million people fled russia because, in general, people did not want to go to war. and what are they fighting for and what are they dying for? what has been happening recently is strikes on the territory of military

facilities on the territory of russia. moreover, it protects a rather small part of russian cities. well, there is already a huge difference. when we talk about the fact that strikes are carried out against russian objects, i mean that ukraine still strikes military objects, in particular at schools, and so and the military airfield was destroyed, four planes were destroyed, and in other cities there are also strikes, strikes are going on at military objects, in contrast to what russia is doing, because at the same time when this happened , the drone attack, at the same time, russian rockets attacked kiev and there were human victims, that is the fundamental difference , that is, the war is still being waged asymmetrically

. destroys military targets, this is a fundamental difference and not only in this, of course, the main difference is that the war is mainly going on the territory of ukraine , they are on the territory of russia, so when we talk about the fact that this war is clearly dragging on, naturally it is obvious that the delay is definitely in the interests of putin, because the war is still on the territory of ukraine, and ukraine is becoming the main victim , despite the fact that the offensive is quite successful, nevertheless the war continues to be on the territory of ukraine, peaceful citizens of ukraine are killed, ukrainian economies are destroyed, so i think that prolonging the war is definitely in

the interests of putin, so now, when it comes to the supply of weapons and the possibility of ending this war , they will not confirm that it will continue for a long time anyway it is a question of the survival of ukraine in the course of several years, and you will finish it at least in the next year in order to continue this war, but here it is precisely about how much resources, material resources, and physical resources, well, the kremlin gives out different signals through its people, that is, on the one hand , this is the position. on the other hand, nuclear weapons appear on the other side of the western kremlin-affiliated western so-called peacekeepers alya orban and so on, who

start saying what, let's talk about something there to negotiate by the way, the point is the thing, all these are the positions of orban and others who now demand peace talks, a truce, or peace , usually in such cases the formula peace in exchange for territory is used. urban is still a separate story - this is such a trojan horse of fascism. in other words, it is a trojan horse of fascism in the european union and nato, but in general, private territories are not only hungarian, they are also chinese, they are also brazilian, they are also african, that is, there are many of them. well-wishers came and proposed to ukraine to share and give a significant part to the occupier. well, at least 20% in its territory . well, it is clear that this is all absolutely empty words

, because in order for this to happen, two circumstances are necessary. ukrainians have agreed to this, it is obvious that the citizens of ukraine will not agree to this, and the political leadership of ukraine will not agree to this . the armed forces will not agree to this, just people who offer, do not accept the essence of ukraine ukraine is not such a vertical country where you can agree with the authorities and everything will be as agreed ukraine is a horizontal country the people are a political subject according to memetovo even the army is a political subject today so there are no chances well and of course, president zelensky is now simply expressing the will of the people, so there is no chance that he will conclude such a deal with ukraine that he will implement peace in

exchange for territories that do not exist and there is another side that won't go for it either. i'm going to introduce putin because putin started this war and he needs a break now. there would be a break, but he won't. will be used for transformation for well, so to speak, the modernization of the army for the mobilization of facilities and further war, but in any case, of course, he will not end the war, and besides that, the war will not end under any schedule, in the presence of putin, putin simply cannot stop the war now simply because he is now well, as it were, all of his power is based on the fact that the war is ongoing, so this is an absolutely staged, staged scenario . these are the turbopatriots who are demanding an atomic bomb and who are shouting . well, you said they were called exactly by general

burulyev - this is vladimir solovyov. there are also a few these are the same madmen who, so to speak, create their political capitalization at the expense of such exclamations at the expense of the fact that they periodically fall into such controlled hysteria, well, roughly if we put vladimir slavivy next to him, and let's say prigozhina who shouts gerasim's puck, where are the shells, then we will see that these are eh, well, practically twins brothers , only eh soloviev indeed, a complete freak with the letter n. that is, the only difference is that soloviev does not name names, so in principle , the rhetorician exactly repeats the rhetoric of prigozhina , the rhetoric of hyrkina

, with a bullet. the line for escalation to unleashing a war in the flesh to an atomic war, so to speak, a world war, that is, the idea actually talks about some rational , rational components of these people, it is not necessary here, rather, i emphasize it again some kind of speculation - this is the creation of falling into such controlled hysteria, there are criminals who begin to publicly cut their hands in order to achieve some results, for example , because they were afraid or because, after all, ownership is so important pragmatic people who really understand what they are doing. in this case , we are talking about serving one of the kremlin clans. the fact is that when putin started this war, he ended his personal regime there, and this is another

structure that actually leads russia is now not represented by some clans, they are not very strictly divided according to departmental affiliation, that is, some members of colleagues of the fsb and members of colleagues of the ministry of defense can be referred to one clan, and the whole question is in the same way. and you are the sources of financing. if it’s the pcc, then they advocate the continuation of the war. well, that’s how it turned out . they also advocate the continuation of the war from the escalation . if it’s, for example, a serial business of oil, then they advocate that this war, uh , or end up . with either she was in general in such a fast-moving state, that is, the question of financing. the thing is that the champion is different. putin's regime is different in that under him absolutely everything is commercialized and everything

is permeated with corruption, including the fsb in including the main directorate of intelligence . so and so on the way out, mr. igor, i would like to ask you , so the beauty was killed. agreements, he is not able to negotiate, he made an agreement with prigozhin and after two months and neither prigozhin nor utkin was there, then they used these two months, and because he needed to completely neutralize

wagner, he perfectly understood that the destruction of prigozhino right after they met in the kremlin or the murder of prigoshenno or the arrest of a handsome man right away in the kremlin when they met after this mess, and it could lead to a serious demonstration of the communist party in the army, despite the fact that yes , of course, this is not the strength that can be there they are resisting with the whole machine together with the defense, but there it is still unknown how the army would have behaved, how the power structures have behaved. and that is why putin here are these two who went through the mutiny and before the one shown, he was busy eh, he did everything technically enough , he left eh- dude wagner, they took away their bases, disarmed them, took away their armored vehicles, took away their heavy weapons, dispersed most of them

to the ministry of defense, and the other part was sent to belarus, in general, they left the opportunity to organize something of organized resistance, because even this is a fairly compact part of, for example , two brigades that were concentrated in belarus, they were devoid of heavy weapons. далее это из область фотография тым бо на чем чем танке таке выставление платье в этому, этому не недвижимость и от ответствующие ответствующие ответствующие ответственного финансонской империя. well, several tens of billions of dollars, first of all, this is the control over uh, about 13 african countries, well, the presence of chvk

wagner is known in four african countries , but uh, the tentacles are stretched there quite seriously , and in particular, what happened in the course of these two months, uh- well, putin was busy , well, practically when prigozhina was alive, he destroyed his legacy. prigozhina's legacy was completely destroyed. medea's empire and the importance of the media of prigozhina's empire are a factory of trolls , this is a means of mass information. an effective one that was simply taken from prigozhin irrevocably a-a in addition, the process of eradicating prigozhin from africa from the middle east was finally forced out, er, wagner from cheese, that is, it is already a question of silent ousting. negotiations were held in the army about what in principle , we can replace, let's say

, the leadership of the dude wagner is not against the lion , almost everything, including the leadership of the central african republic, most of all say well, that's the main base of the present army. they said that we need to maintain relations with the russian empire. and that 's why who will represent it. major avelyanov well, this is, well, something, something like a modern-day criminal, because it is major general averyanov who is behind most of the terrorist attacks that russia is committing abroad, this poisoning of fiddlers. and so on. in fact, this is a modern court of law, which is behind many terrorist attacks and many crimes of russia around the world, so major general

averyanov has already started his actions on the so to say that we will replace this structure with our own people, how will it work for us further? this is not important. but the most important thing is that in this case, instead of prigozhin, who was actually by status, he is, who is he , by status, he is just a pedestrian, and then after the death of prigozhina, how will he behave now? i think that putin, uh, in fact, he , uh, has strengthened his power a little at this time, because this is the demonstrative punishment of prigozhina. er, he leads with the help of fear, and if by june of last year, let’s say, putin’s power ceased to be personalistic, that is, he controlled a lot of things, then now he is trying

to restore his personal dictatorship in your personal dictatorship and in the significant degrees, he is able to do this, well, here only one question he made is that eh , it’s all obvious, the time is all very unstable , because at the moment he is trying to manage with the help of strakhov, this is indicative of why they executed the prigorna eliminated in africa, for example, why he was not poisoned , as is usually done in putin's russia why did not they arrange a car accident there ? because it was necessary to show execution and er so that few people could come up with the idea to stand up against putin in some way now, and in the conditions of a clearly lost war, such sentiments will certainly appear because

at the beginning of this war, life was practically not only in ordinary russians but also the representatives of putin's elite, it has become much worse , this is obvious, that is, the model when, er, the russian elite, whom everyone calls the elite, could rob and steal from russia and spend abroad, this model stopped. almost all of them live in oligarchs, in almost all of them, the heads of putin’s departments and so on, that is, very much, absolutely all of them are absolutely all of them. and other things abroad, that's why they became worse to live. well, besides everything else, in general, they understand, that is, general

buruleva and vladimir solovyov were mentioned here, and this is the hysteria that soloviev is throwing up there around the clock, and she is on trial here oh, fear, and he perfectly understands that eh, in the end, he may well share the fate of yulia shashtricher, and the most disgusting fascist and propagandist of the times of the third reich. not a story, but they will be sentenced so to speak to a life sentence, but they all have this fear present and in principle, i think that the people who command a large number of armed people there are in their heads . in any case, there are thoughts about what it would be possible to end all this with the help of some special operation , well, a modern version of the fact that it ended the life of

the russian emperor paul the first, well, in this case, it does not offend that it was a snuffbox or a handkerchief or sharfik, but in any case, something in this way, and i am absolutely convinced that such thoughts are present in many representatives of the russian elite, and they doubt for a second that such ideas exist in many generals and employees who have members there and fsb boards and so on and that's why so that these thoughts did not turn into action, just as it was necessary to show the parishioner, only he could, so to speak , eliminate this reality, but at least if until february 24 of last year , such a variant of the development of events was extremely unlikely, practically excluded now he exists, therefore yes putin has strengthened his power unconditionally now but at the same time he has increased the likelihood of such a thing

ending his life here, thank you dear mr. igor for this extremely interesting and honest conversation, and i wish to our viewers to remind you that ihor yakovenko was currently working for you on the espresso tv channel, a sociologist, a journalist recognized by inno as an agent of the russian federation, mr. ihor is currently in lithuania , the time of our program has run out, stay with espresso tv channels my colleagues are analyzing the most important events on this day, take care of yourself and your loved ones see you on the air i congratulate it exclusive interview on espresso my name is yuriy fizar and my guest today is the plenipotentiary and extraordinary ambassador of the united states of america to russia in 2011-2014 and

also the director of the freeman institute for international studies at stanford university, michael mcfaul, we will talk with him about a lot of things, but mostly, unfortunately, about russia, about the war that russia started last year and has been waging for more than a year and a half about our we stand for victory. congratulations mr. mcfall and thank you for joining, thank you for the invitation. i already told our viewers that we will talk mainly about russia and its brutal war that putin started in february 2022, and also about our victory, not only about that in 2001, you wrote an interesting book that i bought and read, the book is called the unfinished revolution in russia, political changes

from gorbachev to putin, changes took place, but why was there no revolution? ten or even 15 years, if you count the gorbachev period of political transformations in the soviet union and then russia, something was achieved then , or so we thought, first of all , the collapse of the soviet empire and 15 countries , including ukraine and the russian federation, took place gained their independence and compared to other collapses of empires it was relatively peaceful at least until last year secondly they made a transition from a predominantly command-administrative economy to a market but in this book i wrote that the transition from dictatorship to democracy took place but it was

ambiguous and small what worries me is that in this book , where i examine various elements, i said that democracy in russia was not consolidated, and it is tragic that now, after two decades, we see that putin took advantage of these weak democratic institutions, he destroyed them today i witnessed the return of the russian dictatorship. i think that it was known in advance that this would happen if, for example, boris nemtsov became the next president of russia, because there were plans to anoint him as boris yetsin's successor, tradition could have gone the other way, but in retrospect there is no doubt that these institutions were too weak too fragile in 2000 when putin came to power and it allowed him to actually destroy george ok calm down you know him pretty well is

the putin of 2000 different from putin
