russian information attacks in the project of the chronicle of the information war with olga leni tuesday thursday friday at 17:10 on espresso tv channel i welcome this exclusive interview on express my name is yuriy fizar and my guest today is the plenipotentiary and extraordinary ambassador of the united states of america in russia in 2011-2014 and also the director of the freeman institute, school of international studies, stanford university, michael mcfall, 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 i congratulate you on the victory maxim and thank you for joining, thank you for the invitation, as i already told our viewers, we will talk mainly about russia and its brutal war that putin started in february 2022, as well as about our victory, however, not only about this, well, uh, questions to deontov you wrote an interesting book, which i bought and read, and the book is called the unfinished revolution in russia, political changes from gorbachev to putin, changes took place , but why there was no revolution, a difficult big question that is difficult to answer when i wrote this book in 2001, it was after ten or even 15 years, if you count the gorbachev period of political transformations in

the soviet union and then russia and what was achieved then, or so we thought, first of all , the collapse of the soviet empire took place and 15 countries , including ukraine and the russian federation , gained its independence and compared to other collapses of empires it was relatively peaceful at least until last year . dictatorship to democracy took place, but it was ambiguous and it is a bit disturbing that in this book, where i examine various elements, i said that democracy in russia was not consolidated and it is tragic that now, two decades later, we see that putin took advantage of these weak democratic institutions, he destroyed them

today i witnessed the return of the russian dictatorship 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 that allowed him to actually destroy it okay take it easy you know him pretty well is the putin of 2000 different from the putin of today that's great the question is my answer and yes and no a-a in 2000 he was anti-democratic, but he was not like that from

the very beginning i wrote my first article about putin in 2000 warning the world about his anti-democratic actions he has always been an imperialist he mourned the collapse of the soviet union he is from the kgb and spent his whole life defending the soviet empire but 20 years ago he was much more pro -roman and pro-western on market reforms he lowered the individual income tax and moved russia to a flat tax of 13% he lowered corporate taxes and respected private property is no longer the case, he has restored the state's strict control over the economy , especially after invading your country for the second time. he was once open to

engagement with the west. he even talked about russia's entry into nato by the way, i will remind you because today he says that you are not nato in everything and he was forced to invade ukraine due to the expansion of the north atlantic alliance, but 20 years ago he was not afraid of nato, he wanted to join the alliance and even said about ukraine in 2002 that if ukraine wants to join nato, that is their business, not ours, so that in these two aspects he has significantly changed his thinking and in recent days he has become a much more nationalistic patriot who allegedly professes conservative orthodox religious values ​​i wouldn't call it conservatism but that's what it wasn't 25 okay price i think one of the main drivers was that he became more authoritarian more

afraid of his people and therefore he needed an external enemy to justify his authoritarianism that's when he became more anti-western and anti-ukrainian, secondly, he is afraid not of nato expansion but of democratic expansion in 2000, georgia in 2003 , most importantly, the orange revolution in your country, it was a threat to his authoritarian way of governing and of course later the revolution of dignity became an even greater threat, but not to russian security, and here i want to make it clear for 1941, from the time when hitler invaded the soviet union, there was no military threat from the west against russia

, but the expansion of democracy threatened the government putin inside russia, among his people, that russians need a strong state , russians do not need western methods of governance because they are different, i remember how in 2011 i was at a meeting with him. but the then vice president biden and he talked for a long time about the fact that russia is not part of europe, is not part of the defense, he says that ukrainians are not a separate nation, that you are just russians with an emphasis that ukraine has become an independent state, this is another of his very strange arguments

that if ukrainians practice democracy to make putin i think that this became his obsession with your country in the first place and also with my country the enemy from outside in order to legitimize his dictatorship at home and he found this enemy unfortunately uafeng you are often called the architect of the reset policy of president obama in relation to russia, it was still 10-15 years ago, did you really think that relations with the kremlin could be changed at that time, i will digress, i think there is a lot of misunderstanding of what we were trying to do then, in 2009 , we were sitting in the white house and determined our

national security interests and highest priorities, one of those priorities was the need to cooperate with the kremlin . medvedev, what he has become today, it is very important to understand that he was completely different. well, i will give a few examples. in 2009 , the treaty on the elimination of medium and short-range missiles expired and president obama decided that the drsm-9 is in the national interests of the usa and that it is impossible without the russians conduct negotiations on control weapons, that is why he said that we need to enter into negotiations with them, and the aircraft signed a new treaty on sno-3 dsn o in 2010, reducing nuclear

weapons in the world by 30%, secondly, he decided that you should stop iran from maintaining nuclear weapons and for this he wanted to introduce multilateral sanctions against iran , it can be debated that this was the right decision but in banks he wanted to impose many multilateral sanctions for this russia had to vote together with on what they did by the way at the meeting un security council in 2010 we decided to send our troops to afghanistan in an effort to defeat terrorism there we were also going to fight terrorism outside the borders of afghanistan including in pakistan but at that time 95% of our supplies went through pakistan so president obama had the idea that we needed to diversify our supply routes to afghanistan and that meant going through russia through the so-called northern distribution network we had

to negotiate with the russians and by the way we violated pakistan's sovereignty in 2011 and killed bin laden herself, we could do it only thanks to diversification. i think that many people misunderstand our desire to have good relations with russia, although maybe others believed. i don't even believe that allies believed in it, like me. we should not choose mood music or a positive attitude towards the country as our goal, the goal should be specific tasks that advance national interests, in the case of my country, the interests of the united states of america, so for a while we did that. that's how it ended . of course for two reasons, firstly, putin returned and he was not interested in cooperating with us, and secondly, there were mass demonstrations against the putin regime in the 11th and

12th years and putin accused us and me personally, in these demonstrations, as a result, cooperation on other issues such as iran or north korea or even syria, which was being corrected in 12-13 years, turned out to be impossible with putin, who was in the kremlin , because you know them very well, since you lived in moscow 4 years ago, according to some estimates 85-90% of russians support putin is it because they are afraid of him or maybe they are fascinated by his imperialist ideas or maybe they just don't care why it's hard to answer your question because it's hard to understand what

people in authoritarian countries really think it is possible to remember that you cannot conduct a real poll in a country like russia or in any dictatorship because people are afraid to say what they really believe , they have no incentive to say what is on their mind and secondly, i i got the impression that putin and his terrible barbaric invasion of your country enjoy considerable support. to be honest, i am not surprised, but deeply disappointed. this is not just putin's war in ukraine, it is the russians' war in ukraine. we must admit that this is not a one-man war, that putin putin does not abduct your children , he does not rape your daughters and mothers do this. i think it is very important

to understand that it is the russians who kill and the russians who commit these crimes against humanity, and not only vladimir putin. regarding your other question , it is definitely true that propaganda and repression work well, yes, there were some , i will do it. here are the ones that were protested at the beginning, now some of them are serving 25-year prison terms, for example, volodya karamurza, whom i know well, ilya yashin, they criticized the war and are now in prison and this discourages other russians from protesting and there are russians who support this war and imperial ideas , while i live in russia in the 90s, i would never have thought that they are capable of revival of stalinism, this is the result of 20 years of propaganda on putin's part, this is not deeply disappointing, but there is

another segment of russian society that simply lowered its head, it does not support the war, but it is not against them, they simply try to stay away, and these people instantly change their minds if they change the condition. if putin says to end the war, it is interesting where russian potion garika sparov said in an interview with a ukrainian channel that russians are unfortunately used to the war used to the war and y they are used to supporting it and putin present putton of course we will win in a while

putin will lose but those russians who accustomed to war, they will remain use. do you think this could become a problem for both ukraine and the western allies? i think this is a big problem. and that's why i think the western world , the democratic world, should do much more to make them pay the price for support for this war i work with andrii the president in the working group on international sanctions that the western democratic world should increase sanctions so that people feel the war more directly, in particular it is said that too many components from the west are involved in the production of weapons in russia and this should stop too many russians who are not

under sanctions work for a company and a political party who support the war, therefore sanctions need to be expanded it is too comfortable for russians to travel to supposedly hostile countries countries, this is the world, stop the 360 ​​billion dollars that were frozen in the russian central bank must be transferred for the reconstruction of ukraine, so that the russians feel the consequences of the war they support. so, in my opinion, this is the first step, then in the long term, the defeat of putin's army in your country should take place. yes, it is necessary in order for people to finally reject their imperial ambitions sometimes in 1991 they failed

to do this there is a big difference between germany in 1944 and russia in 1991 then boris yeltsin tried to put the communist party on trial but there was not enough support so they never had remorse they never had an awareness of the evil that soviet imperialism carried unfortunately until putin loses this war inside russia this process will not begin which is what putin is most afraid of right now i i mean what might be the weakness of his rule and again a great question to which i unfortunately don't have a great answer but i think there are a few important things i would like to say about putin and

his box that putin is such a matchup you can't corner him, he needs space, he needs ukrainian land to end the war, i don't agree with that, then he's not as desperate as they think he is, several examples come to mind when he was pressured, but instead of escalating, he retreated only in that regard did the turkish president warn putin to stop flying his planes to syria through turkish territory , in the end he got tired of it. he shot down one of these planes. putin said a lot then , but as a result, he did nothing. putin will send lavrov there. and he himself spoke online, which shows that he is afraid of the un international criminal court

, who defies the west . your question i think that he is most afraid of losing crimea, he is afraid of transferring the war in crimea to your country and not to his, this is what he is most afraid of, because it would undermine the legitimacy of his war in russia and lead him to a dead end

kut amen ability to get crimea became a threatening consequence for his regime another question about the chinese government because their attitude towards the russian war in ukraine at certain moments is very unclear and ambiguous of the democratic world, of course, it is not about a formal alliance, but about a partnership that is primarily fueled by antagonism towards the united states of america , i am simply amazed at how moderate all this is there was support for russia from china, everyone in xinbin does not support the war, they supported putin and russia at the un general assembly, and china

was not among them, he abstains from military aid . he is very careful because he wants to avoid sanctions. the leader did not recognize the annexation of crimea even in 2014, how little china has done for russia is surprising. i give credit to your president and your diplomats for the smart diplomacy with china that keeps it the west was successful and condemned this war, but i think it will happen, however, maintaining chinese neutrality is a very worthy goal that ukrainian diplomats managed to achieve, and the last questions for today i want to thank all americans and all european

allies for the support we receive from you thanks to this help and in support of our courageous soldiers are fighting on the front lines and recapturing our territories vatsak but we often hear calls from the west about the need to sit down at the negotiating table with the russians does it mean that the west is getting tired of the war in ukraine, we need to find out what is included in the concept of protecting europe, they support you much more than others here in the usa , president biden, his administration is very supportive of your military efforts and they do not tell president zelensky to negotiate with the russians i

'm not saying, look, the president has a lot of support. don't forget that next year we have a presidential election. all the republicans who will run against president biden will actively criticize. now there is enough. traumas match, of course, they support financial and military aid to ukraine much less than president baidesh. that is, you touched on a question that also worries me, so what to do ? we need more than more weapons, better weapons, and as soon as possible, this is the fastest way to end this war. i would say the same about

more sanctions more powerful sanctions and as soon as possible this is the way to victory how can you speed up the process of ending the war guarantees the prolongation of the war when i hear let's do more now to speed up the end of putin's barbaric invasion of ukraine. thank you very much, mr. ambassador, for finding time for us. thank you for answering my questions. this was michael mcfall, the director of the freeman-spole institute for international relations at stanford university, the us ambassador to russia in 2011-14. mostly about russia , about our victory over the aggressor and how they are helping us bring this victory closer. this was an exclusive
