in case there is a real break dance. get them into the gutter and there she was too fast i can't go away. he he. cool and you're welcome to the interview here of course lincoln and roll with policies into my guest today is david such a distinguished american journalist and academic and the author of three books about russia a country which he first visit as a student in nineteen sixty nine. since september dossier he had been looking in moscow as an advisor to the u s courthouse to radio free europe great university and working on a new book about russia's postponing its history. imagine his surprise and wednesdays in a win in december the russian authorities told him he was banned from entering the country for the next five years. one of the few western

journalists be expelled from russia since the end of the cold war. his offense. a minor visa violation the corporate and opens he was still decided that his presence on the tree of russia was not desirable data center welcome to the program that converts and opens with analysts have said something i did the usual two loaves and the show the trees that line it's not contravene it one of the visa violation so called visa violation was to simply enough. something invented by the russian authorities after i was told that i was persona non grata onto to muddy the waters and confuse outside world. there there was no visa violation i hates. it carried out the instructions of the very ministry of foreign affairs which is now claiming there was a violation. they refuse to give me the necessary documents on time and said i should wait for those documents. then when the family gave me the documents. b visa issuing

office said. i was there too late but this was a delay created by the foreign ministry then to the uninitiated what one of the corporate endorsements the competent organs are are the security police the fsb so what i was told on. on december twenty fifth. in the russian embassy in kiev was that the competent organs in effect the fsb had ruled that my presence on the territory of the russian federation was on his arm was barred from entry. so this is really a very unusual thing because this is a formulation which generally used in spy cases. sometimes a situation where someone is suspected of espionage they can't prove it they simply say he's undesirable of sorts hope it gets worse. what's this really about. well i think it's a about what i did not have enough time in russia was only there three months most of the time was spent getting set up in an apartment and taking care of bureaucratic formalities i didn't have time to write

very much. so was based on what i'd done in the past what i might do in the future aren't you think what provoked it is all it has to be. it has the city on the road to break two thousand and three i think although the doc doc said on the voice of the russian criminal state. and in the book you're open to the fifth finger that's sweet and soft on the fsb. for a series of pop and pullman's in nineteen ninety nine which ended up ultimately in the second chechen war. three other people to know about those bombings for the event of the war what brought them on into power because they galvanized the country behind a new war in church and then that war was pursued more successfully than the first chechen war and with the result and that there was a huge spike in putin's popularity now. all evidence points to those bombings having been a provocation organize by this the authorities themselves including the fact that when

a fifth bomb there were four bombs in them there was a fifth bomb that was found in the basement of a building in maria's son was discovered and the people who put enough in that basement were rested they turned out to be not chechen terrorists. but the fsb agents. and there's no question about that they were they were rested and identify. so on. it's not it's not a question of being provocative in my writing it's simply a question of reporting and being willing just to to lay out the incontrovertible facts but even the title the book is and isn't the link to what the many friends in russia that the rise of the russian criminal say well at the time it was. it was considered on a rather up. how can i put it to a rather strong statements but since that time we've had other books for example luke harding be the former correspondent must go to

guardian or call the estate's him and us embassy in moscow to the rear in their cables which were published by week in lakes are referred to mosque to somewhere for preferred to russia as a mafia state senate. i don't know if you want to consider criminal state different from mafia state as i consider more or less the same thing a little help he had the feel of this over forty is going to consult the soviet union for this man russia. the credibility while it is spot on the other hand i am quite determined to to go back. i think that sooner or later i will i don't think they'll be able to make this stick in the long run. and as i've been told that i'm barred for five years on nature poems can last for five years. so i fully expect to be back. what motivates support from within russia has been much higher than in the media old from as civil society. yes absolutely and social networks been an up a

lot of support and in the intermediate swell the up memorial society issued a statement calling on of the russian authorities to allow me back and they said that if i wasn't allowed back in the would be bad for me but more important it would be bad for russia. and there were similar statements from other other other russians on trade can cause kiera a russian journalist wrote an article on him which he attacked those who were attacking me. nt even in his festive there was an article in which which is linked to the regime the it an article about me. describing the reasons why a minute and then said that i was someone with whom it would be possible to have a dialogue moscow times said that that might describe me as the kremlin's bit too lar. it gave the reasons why i in fact was merely doing my job what's encouraging is that

this has been that's the purpose was to suggest that civil society in russia hasn't been crushed completely know why but it hasn't been vetted need support that is what has happened to you d think a signal that journalism is good but the internal domestic russian journalism and foreign pilgrims could be a target of opportunity team in the months of two years and while it's perfectly likely we saw what happened with other tv rain tv station which was perhaps the only independent tv out with the country and we can expect that perhaps that what's left of the of the free press in russia will be subjected to the same kind of pressure that i've been subjected to but it's important to try to resist. you do that you've been a critic in the boston fed president thomas and me set policy. how would you want. what is the advice that you would get to the american administration friends how to deal with russia well it's the same advice had been

giving the man in which they've ignored for the last five years switches up. treat russia as it is rather thin as we would wish it to be it doesn't mean that we cannot have any contact with russia that we cannot deal with them we can but than a normal society a society which is based on law and to society with democratic institutions needs to be the society that defines the rules of of the relationship. you don't want an abnormal society setting the context for bilateral relations with the normal society it should work the other way around perhaps you guys dressed as witches getting it wrong of russians that the optimal lighting and putin remains remarkably popular present fall more popular than either of the mall. his presence known in france opted to switch to three isn't a sin and fifty cents this extraordinary way. why does

he get that supports only then will partially because they've created a situation in which he has no opposition and people are afraid that other there will be instability and possible social unrest if he's removed from office for whatever reason. in terms of active support the numbers are far lower and their base to really honor propaganda eyes provincial population that gets its news and information from only one source which is state controlled television you do you think that given their consent of economic circumstances. conferences new oil price that support putin could collapse in russia died. definitely will definitely what i mean it's only the relative prosperity that stats up up up. help to maintain the popularity that the press pass. i mean obama and holland are are operating in a democratic society which is subjected to criticism of

putin is operating in the context of a of the political system which is totally controls and on the basis of a of the controlled media which is able to just inform millions people. going to invite yourself you have suggested that the united states should expel russia today genesis retaliation white is white he says that i a i said it wouldn't be opposed to it up i think that this is one possible retaliate or administered the two that the united states should consider. the idea of course is not to exclude russia today no one minds that they're in washington they're welcome to do two up. to produce their distorted broadcasts as much as they lie. but on if it's a question of of the russian regime. excluding honest journalists. then we should look around for whatever means are available to us to put pressure on them to give us the opportunity to report

truthfully. he did that so we had time from me today thanks very much being with us on the most iconic. that's the end of this edition of the interview but don't go away there's more news and headlines to follow the rear tomorrow my eyes on of the dc!il. governments and lots more marketing. in his chair he trusted that the issue that constantly use large country has a new policy which incidentally to reduce dependence on international aid agencies this company in the capital may be has one hundred employees gave me some peanuts to fortify its peanut paste that humanitarian organizations county with ads the recipe is often referred to as the miracle fruit that helps children to quickly recover from the new trish and it's taking to buy a french company which says

the cost of producing in the chair is roughly similar to approach. some of the victim. it's important to note that with this kind of product a child can recover within six weeks been aware is good oh four has fortified milk so it took two to three months to come off. with an ever rising demand production could double over the comin years that contribute to economic development the seat across africa there are already a dozen such businesses as relief agency search for local intentions to humanitarian crises however in india they don't want to use some peanuts as the exact formula has to be followed even if the cost of ingredients is prohibitive instead the authorities are working on a generic one hundred percent indian recipe
