presume from the title that you think russia still hasn't found its place in the world media. since was look nice was not exactly what the looks as though certainly russia has made this kind of decision over the past ten years that have been pursuing two different rather than one of which i've been trying to explain is that after the soviet union does integrated russian turned to europe because europe did not offer a warm welcome since the beginning of the century russia's foreign policy has been focusing on two directions rather than one on the one hand it focuses on the west and was well on the other hand because of its geographic position and yet its decided to place itself as an asian country gives a greater pre-stage and influence in the world has been pursuing this wallasey for more than ten years now and its great success at the end of the twentieth century russia's international reputation around the world was very good but now after the

last decade of obvious that it's being reckoned with it's a big change russia has taken a very important step we've all watched and in my opinion is that in this process is irreversible russia has become a world power as discussed in the beginning in your introduction you raised the question of whether russia should be feared do you mean that the imperial russia and then the soviet union which europe used to be afraid of are still alive. not only in europe. the collapse of the soviet union was not anticipated it happened overnight many countries primarily those who were under soviet influence based in european countries and the countries that used to be part of the soviet union but are now independent states did not understand russia and were afraid of it as eastern european countries have become e.u. members they have showed their fares and passed them on to the e.u. saying that russia used to be an empire so why should it cease being an empire and

can we trust it now that it's in peril past has been forgotten by now people have already understood that russia is pursuing its own path the time has shown that georgia for example fear that russia will dominate is again that's why it wanted to access nato i think that such fears originate from some kind of misunderstanding of the breakup of the soviet union because it was so certain no one could adjust themselves to it immediately all the european empires have collapsed but they have collapsed after decades of preparation even russia itself was not ready. so you don't believe in russia's imperial ambitions just right i don't believe it i'd rather say there is some kind of a style but that's completely different thing what a country can forget overnight that it used to be a powerful empire but still washing people and specifically those in power have common sense and they understand too well that it's eva and it's russia's future is

not to be an empire but rather to build up its reputation and influence via soft power rather than by force. what are the main types russia faces today. russia has the legacy of the soviet union and it will be marked by this stigma for a long time i come from a country in which the collapse of the empire was a difficult one but the bloodshed in the fifty's and sixty's yeltsin sat take as much independence as you can swallow and another day he sent you off free get out of here many things about russia were forgotten people forgot that the soviet system was dominating and instilled fear and then got scared of the country that neither the power nor the ability to speak as poignantly with other countries all this was forgotten and this new russia was not understood as i see it and in your country are people suspicious of russia i don't know what to say to that. your

current president nicolas sarkozy said in his election campaign it's better to shake hands with bush than with putin who would you shake hands with but. first of all i feel uncomfortable talking about my president has changed a great deal he was in love with america it was an example for him he did not know russia he's a parent here in oregon and hungary was affected by the soviet union to a certain extent and even by russia has come a long way and he. and i agree with him it's in europe's interest and france. his interests. and why has the course changed what is these change related to. it simply because he realized what's right is a very smart guy really i should not be calling my president a guy but he's a very smart person is very active when he thinks something over he comes to understand things correctly he took a look at the world and he has realized

a lot of things over two years he realized first that russia wasn't a terrible country it was a country to be spoken to not lecture it established close relations with the russian president and prime minister he realized that dialogue for a european countries the most important thing to build relations with russia he also realized russia was a european country which he didn't understand very well at first he also realized that europe was no longer strong it was falling out of the history of global relations it would have if it was cut from russia his current position which i think is very smart is not that russia should be part of europe russia is to vast for europe it would not adapt what we need he thinks is a model for relations. why does europe need russia now. russia is needed because the entire history of international relations is moving away from europe it's played out in asia even the u.s.

pacific countries were focusing its foreign policy on asia where are the countries that will play the big hit in asia and latin america but that's a different question now what's the current state of european asian relations europe is of no interest to asia if we view europe as a landmass that reaches the pacific ocean russia and europe and not a whole but if we picture them as an alliance and we can say europe richest the pacific this is the reason europe needs russia although i'm not sure if russia needs europe. in one of your interviews you spoke about the role of poland and said it could become a bridge between europe and russia what kind of bridge and what are the current dynamics of russian polish relations. door until very recently sent like a crazy idea when now reconciliation between russia and poland has actually

happened i think however that some politicians smart politicians saw this even prime minister donald tusk it was bringing poland closer to russia before the plane crash poland has always been the final frontier of europe russia began after that front here it's also in close contact with ukraine the question of ukraine is very delicate giving it e.u. a session without accepting russia would anger moscow poland is a bridge of sorts between russia and europe it's a bridge to russia because it is at the same time a slavic and a european country which could surf for bringing countries closer russia in europe poland and russia and ukraine and russia so poland could play use oracle role if it understands the situation it's in one of them on course at one point you predicted the collapse of the soviet union and you knew forecasts for more than russia. that's you know i don't make forecasts when i was writing about the soviet union i

didn't even see it as a forecast i looked at the country and saw many negative elements i couldn't help but ask myself how long will it last i don't make forecasts as a rule on the story and i look at the past and try to figure out what's happening in the present i think russia has come a long way over the past twenty years which is having some difficulties as countries do it's not easy to introduce democracy or capitalism it took western europe centuries to do that doing it within twenty years isn't so easy i think russia is following. che's nine hundred ninety one there have been ups and downs but i don't see any problems so i think we can be calm about russia's future and it's starting to look more and more like a normal country just about the price somebody asked you to describe just three words what would those words be. the first one would be mighty which it was

and ten years ago it was a the second important aspect is that more than russia makes multi nationality actually work multiple nationalities was what killed the soviet union this would be dynamic i'm going to watch thank you. showbiz entertainment value of insults. presentation high production. graphics. all of this is a way to settle this people's attention by using take. the chance to come out
