recent book between two walls you talk of russia can we presume from the title do you think russia still hasn't found its place in the wall. at the use of since was not exactly what the book says is that russia has made these kind of decision but over the past ten years it's been pursuing two different paths rather than one what i've been trying to explain is that after the soviet union disintegrated russia rushed to europe but as you have did not offer a woman welcome says the beginning of this century a russia's foreign policy has been focusing on two directions rather than on one on the one hand and fall courses on the west on the other hand because it was joe graphical position has decided to position itself as an asian country it gives it greater pristine and influence in the world has been pursuing this policy for more than ten years now and has brought great success and then out of the twentieth

century russia's international reputation around the world was not very good but now after the past decade it's obvious that it's been reckoned ver's it's a big change russia has taken a very important step forward and in my pin in this process is irreversible russia has become a world power for borders. in your introduction you raise 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. but the good people in the not only in europe the collapse of the soviet union was not anticipated it happened overnight many countries primarily those who are to solve it influence the eastern european countries and countries that used to be part of the soviet union but are now into balance states did not understand russia and are afraid of it as eastern european countries have become e.u.

members they have to show this years and pass them on to the new saying that russia used to be an empire so why should it seize being an empire and can't be trusted now that is imperial past has been forgotten by now people have already understood that russia is pursuing its own path but time has shown that georgia for example which is always been saying that it wants to save itself from russia that's why it wanted to access nato it feels that russia will dominate georgia again and look i think it's a few years originate from some kind of misunderstanding of the break up of the soviet union because it was so sudden no one could adjust themselves to immediately all the european and hires have collapsed but they collapsed after decades of preparation you were in russia itself was not ready to throw you don't believe in russia's imperial ambitions you're right i don't believe it or i'd rather say there

is some kind of an astrologer but that's a completely different saying ok what country can forget overnight that it's used to be a powerful empire but russia has common sense despite the fact that some russians say used to be so good and that is a shame is forgotten about a still russian people and specifical is those in power have common sense as their stand too well that it's over and it's russia's future is not to be an empire but rather to build up its reputation and via satellite our rather than. by force. this will be a king as well there is still a lot of the main as cierra types out russia faces today. in the cynics it is because russia has the legacy of the solve it here in n.c. and it will be marred by this stigma for a long time i come from a country in which the collapse of the empire was a difficult one but bloodshed in the fifty's and sixty's was yeltsin sad to take as much as you can swallow and another day he said you are free to get out of here

many things about fashion of gardening people for godly subjects is to was dominating under still fear and then got scared of the country or what it was or how or not ability to speak is oddly with other countries as all this was for guarded and these new russia was not and is still i see it what engine your country are people suspicious of russia i don't know what to say to that or the thoughts author of your current president nicolas sarkozy said in his election campaign it's better to shake hands with than with putin who would you shake hands with. in there and you have to all i feel uncomfortable talking about my president has changed a great deal in he was in love with america was an example of horrible evil with that he did not know russia has a hunger an origin and hunger it was a factor but the soviet union to a certain extent and even by russia this is come

a long way that he chose russia and i agree with him but it's in europe's interests and in france's interests for cross has always had its interest in relations with russia. and why has the course changed what is these changes related to. simply because he realized what's right he's a very smart guy really i should not be calling my present a guy well he's a very smart person or chairman he's very active and he thinks something over he cast a. understand things correctly and he took a look at the world and has realized a lot of things over two years with your realize trust that russia wasn't a terrible can tweet it was a country to be spoken to not let the georgian incident helped him to his stylish close relations with the russian president and prime minister he realized the dial o'gara european country is the most important thing to build relations with russia

he also realized russia was a european country or at least he didn't understand very well it for us he also realized that europe was no longer strong it was falling out of the history of global relations always going to fall out of it was to be completely cv it from russia his current position which i think is very smart is not the trash it should be part of europe russia is too vast for europe it would not adapt what we need he thinks is a model for all asians but for what why does europe yet russia now. or russia is needed because the entire history of international relations is moving away from europe it's played out in asia or even the us a significant role is refocusing its foreign policy on asia where of the huge countries that will play the big roles located here in asia or latin america but that's a different question now what is the current state of european asian relations

europe is of no interest asia view europe as a landmass the tree shoes the pacific ocean with russia and europe are not a whole picture there was an alliance then we can say europe reaches the pacific this is the reason europe flees russia and i'm not sure russia is europe but europe at the moment no need for russia what i want that i ask. for in one of your interviews you spoke about the role of poland and said it could become a great. between europe and russia what kind of bridge and what are the current dynamics of russian polish relations machine door until very recently it seemed like a great idea but now represent between russia and poland has actually happened i think however that some politicians use smart politicians for soldiers even prime minister donald to speak he was bringing poland closer to russian with

a plane crash followed has always been the final frontier of europe russia began after that france here is also in close contact with ukraine the question of ukraine is very delicate given it e.u. accession without exception russia would upset russian europe with poland is a bridge of sorts between russia and europe it's a bridge to russia because it is at the same time a slab it and a european country which could serve for bringing kindness closer russians europe holiday russia and ukraine and russia so poland could play a historical role if it in the stance the situation send us well of course so if my dominant course at one point you predicted the collapse of the soviet union any new forecasts for more than russia. that's the fear no i don't email forgot it's just what i was writing about the salvage union i didn't even see it as

a forecaster i looked at the can tweet and saw so many negative and elements that i couldn't help but ask myself how long will it last i don't make forecasts as a rule historian if 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 it is having some difficulties as countries do it's not easy it is reduced democracy capitalism it to western europe centuries to do that do. it within twenty years isn't so easy i think russia is following the path he chose in one thousand nine hundred ninety one there have been ups and downs but i don't see any disconnection u.-t. so i think we can become a future it started until ignoring the like you know when the country as it was before if somebody asked you to describe modern russian just three what's what would those words be. the frost fund would be mighty which it wasn't ten years ago

and then there's a the second important aspect is that modern russia makes small time nationality actually work multiple nationalities was what killed to solve it union. would be dynamic. by the time time goes thank you very much i thank you. enough that you are i know nothing of it we were not omar oh i'm not trust us to crop up and then spread all over the country.
