everyone got out of the core structure of history and humanity is one of the secretary of the french science academy and the woman who predicted the breakup of the soviet union in ninety or seventy eight in her book pickle laps of an empire is here with us today by superbugs. thank you very much my dumbed down course for your time in your recent book between two walls you talk of russia can we presume from the title that you think russia still hasn't found its place in the world. of sims 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 is what i've been trying to explain is that others saw it in disintegrated russia rushed to europe but as you have did not offer a woman since the beginning of this century a russia's foreign policy has been focusing on two directions rather than on one on

the one hand the fall courses on the west on the other hand because it was joe graphical position and decided to position itself as an asian country it gives it greater prestigious and influence in the world it's been pursuing this policy for more than ten years now and has broad great success as they're 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 a wreck and voters 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 boys. 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. to think that gave

up on the not only in europe the collapse of the soviet union was not interested baited 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 showed a few years and passed 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 has always been saying that it wants to save itself for 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 breakup of the

soviet union because it was so sudden no one could adjust themselves to immediately all the european and pires have collapsed but they collapsed after decades of preparation you were in russia itself was not ready but there was no you don't believe in russia's imperial ambitions to write i don't believe it or i druther 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 it for a still russian people and specifically is those in power have common sense and they're to 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 taking us not only with what are the main areas to retype salt

russia places today. and that's the next it's because russia has the legacy of the solve it here in n.c. and it will be marred by the stigma for a long time i come from a country in which the collapse of the empire was a difficult bloodshed in the fifty's and sixty's. and so i had to take as much into thousands as you can swallow it another day he said you're free get out of here many things about russia for gardening people for godly subjects has to was dominating under still fear of it and then got scared of the country or what it was or how or not ability to speak is positively with other country as all this was forgotten it and these new russia was not interested i see it what her engine your country our people suspicious of russia i don't know what to say to that boy the thoughts of her go without your current president nicolas sarkozy said in his election campaign it's better to shake hands with my bush than with putin who would

you shake hands with. and you have to all i feel uncomfortable talking about my president is changed a great deal in he was in love with america it was an example of where a believer would that he did not know russia has a hunger an origin and hungary it was a factor but the soviet union to a certain extent and even by russia again this is come a long way that he chose russia and i agree with him 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 you realize what's right he's a very smart guy really i should not be calling my president a guy well he's a very smart person or chairman he's very active and he thinks something over he goes to. 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 country it was a country to be spoken to not let the georgian president help him to his stylish to close relations with the russian president and prime minister he realized the dialo our 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 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 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 even as a u.s. city country 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 i'm not a hole but if a picture there was an alliance then we can say europe reaches the pacific if this is the reason europe needs russia and i'm not sure russian is europe but europe at the moment needs for russia one that appears. 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. door until very recently it seemed like a great idea but now represent between russia and poland has actually happened and i think however that some politician who's smart politicians foresaw this even prime minister donald to ski he was bringing poland closer to russia before the plane crash the fall and 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 the e.u. accession without exception russia would have sat russian you know with poland is a bridge of sorts between russia and europe it's a bridge to russia because it is at the same time as live it and a european country which could serve for bringing its kind was closer russia and 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 time is on 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 soviet union i didn't see it as a forecast i looked at the can tweet and saw so many negative elements but i couldn't help but ask myself how long will it last i don't make forecasts as a rule historial 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 to use democracy capitalism it didn't bust in europe centuries to do that or do. it within twenty years isn't so easy i think russia is

falling the past he chose in one thousand nine hundred ninety one there have been ups and downs but i don't see any discontinuities so i think we can be calm about russia's future it's tardy until ignoring the like you know when the country as it was before if somebody asked you to describe more than russia in just three words what would those words be. the frost one would be mighty which it wasn't ten years ago and that was a the second important aspect is that modern russia make small time nationality actually work multiple nationalities was what killed to solve it union on this. that it. would be dynamic. by the time time goes thank you very much thank you.
