raised about u.s. tactics of fighting homegrown terror. but next our must go out team expose the divisive figure joseph stalin discovers the places in the capital say ca to the tate. hello and welcome to the program on this weeks moscow out so we'll be taking a look at one of the most famous figures in russian history joseph stalin and we started here at the museum ot sculpture park next to the famous nine hundred thirty eight granite sculpture of the soviet leader there were many interesting locations

and places connected to the soviet leaders life and death. this sinister monument represents the victims of stalin's purges in the one nine hundred thirty seven million people were held in prison camps by the time his rule was over and the hundreds of thousands still alive if you take a closer look you can see that the nose on the statues face is broken one reason the majority of the controversially distaff she's were removed gradually from the towns and cities across the u.s.s.r. . as one of history's most notorious dictators he was for some a war hero who modernized the country to others he was a mass murderer it was a reign of terror to his people. to use a very bad man i think it was very dangerous and they started. believing he's. a leader that led the country after lenin. you say murdered

a lot of people but three million people. maybe not the best guy. he always destroyed your in your military before. you were after the nazis so. he was a good guy. and he was a good person. but was he able to destroy the nazi regime yes because of his leadership in the world. and was. a great warrior who brought you to. some really really tough time in the war. leaving you did what he had to do to you were busy twice time magazine's person of the year to stay still and still evokes mixed emotions. most modern day russians will continue to respect those who fought the nazis but they can separate this from respect for a vicious ruthless tyrant. we did not believe in his time

many people say he's a terrible tyrant who how can we know who he was or how he removed. the soviet art here the need to trust gallery is well worth seeing it off as a real insight into the creativity of the time this grand pieces called stella and for a show of income and painted by alexander in life in thirty eight he was one of the few mostest courts to officially work on commission ophiuchus and i remember that all work had to celebrate the leader of the state to peyton the myth of a happy country a daunting task for any artist of the time and so the pieces like these have been gaining much more popularity in the world school should houses. was now arrived at red square as burial sites by the kremlin moules many servia leaders military personnel and influential figures were laid to rest here when stalin died in one nine hundred fifty three many openly wept for the man they called father teacher or

god he was old enough still loved by the masses although lenin has a grandiose lame on red square not many people know that stalin is in fact here ok said right behind it next to the kremlin walls or is the embalmed in later arrest next to lenin fate years. after his death it was decided in the late one nine hundred fifty s. due to his controversial reign his body should be removed from public hearings. and pave the way for a wave of liberalization in the arts although no official change in policy took place began to feel free to experiment in the work the next location is the goal he house museum it was built in one thousand nine hundred. a textile air and head of the russian stock exchange featuring a mix of hallways in a spectacular gallery style design this building was one of the main locations associated with soviet literature. well as

a file of literature style and arranged several meetings here with various writers in this building he even later went on to give the house to the writer in nineteen thirty one and as the author was famously known for his love and passion of play in interior design i really wonder what he would have thought of this breathtaking elaborate estonian marble staircase maybe stalin had a sense of humor after all but at the moment. this room the dining room is a perfect example of the stalinist style it can be used as a period piece film set its furniture including the cardboard table chairs and the grand piano come from the nine hundred thirty is the full right to mix in gorky moved into this house several soviet organizations were located here one of them was a kindergarten for top party members and stellan son vassily was one of the kids who spent time here during his childhood the leader was extremely meticulous over who he allowed to write or paint the whole creative world was under his thumb and any

mistake could mean certain death that sent stallin suppression didn't stop other writers from producing famous works. for instance was forced to write his masterpiece the master margarita in secret. so other venues are located. in the capital connected with joseph stallin stallin had several residences outside moscow as they called russia his favorite one was the residence known as bush night that's the house was built in the one nine hundred thirty s. but it had undergone reconstruction in changes many times according to stalin's taste he likes the place not a mostly lived there during the second world war period and beyond stalin famously died at the residence in march nineteenth fifty three sans bunker in the small of a is a branch of the central museum of forces it's an exciting place to visit as it's an authentic military construction from the one nine hundred thirty s. used by style enjoying world war two from nine hundred forty one to nine hundred

forty five it was turned into a museum in one thousand nine hundred six after a major reconstruction origine the bunker was a top secret location and to hide it a large stadium and sports complex with thousands of businesses was built above it the underground chambers were connected to the city center with a seventeen kilometers long tunnel could be handy nowadays to avoid being stuck in traffic. with the wrong cell unpaid in the us all has been studied by scholars and historians for decades from architecture to nature and technology the leader was on a mission to change everything and to discuss the debatable positive steps telling me to watch the country let's meet this week's guest. it is a great to meet you well so you all of the architecture too to hear the struck it. was they were doing research projects well there's no teaching or working

well that but they pose a greater program or oh well this year there are five themes. one there with them is the preservation of heritage regarding architectural heritage style and. architecture is very dominant in the russian capital today and yes you're right well of course telling the stark a picture well has a great impact well to the urban structure of moscow did it to dilute who the it with a c.t. and it only in moscow also in another you know there are cities of russia. well i think in this world because. it's. very serious still to today because we cannot imagine moscow without for example seven sisters we don't still against skyscrapers without metro. as well. but

well i would prefer to well the political regime and architecture and art that's why it seems to me that architecture maybe it's one of the few positive. results of this of this spirit and what you think the average opinion in the streets of moscow today well i'm not a specialist of course i'm not an expert historian. but. while my personality to it is negative of course but i'm not sure that all the all the russian people know are agree. with me it was great to me here thanks for your time and good luck with your work here in this truck institute yes thank you very much thank you. you think you look ations associated with stalin and you most probably think of the moscow kremlin i read a lot about russia in history when i was in school.

the role of russia in the second world war and i wrote a book called mox. to come to the red square to visit the kremlin it's just special it's big with its tall towers imposing red famous pools and sensational history it's the perfect place to visit the capital. you aren't allowed in the administrative buildings he is standing by and entry to the kremlin all together. even the police during stalin's times the kremlin was almost all visitors it was turned into a huge administrative complex which serves not only as offices for the top official . what is going to break into that now i return to our top story a moscow has raised concern over france's admission that its military supplied weapons to rebels in libya well the situation in north africa and russia's

relations with the e.u. and nato have been under the scrutiny of both the country's foreign minister as well and they are now crossing live to their press conference has been see in moscow and as i've been listening as in we. should be ladies and gentlemen we have a very sort of old news relations office was closed. with my colleague mr lynch of pain which ensued in the shoes in which used to. we place very high value in our cooperation in the system and although this is again mr ship a's first visit to russia which as a minister of foreign affairs well if it's you who here is one of the most efficient cultural. refuted and respected french politicians has made a great personal contribution into the strengthening of the russian the french with hardness shaping of news the fronts that include india and his to know as prime minister of france and we value this contribution of mr jabez very much that when you see the war that has been today our bilateral partnership and various you

already and then when the on international and regional affairs when that is developing effectively and anonymously in the country's economic sphere has no value the amount and scope of our show and project is the will for growing rapidly instead earlier especially in high tech areas that we have very intense political contacts in late may not give the views that she would know if this should be the end of another meeting of the presidents mr medvedev and mr sarkozy took place until vaile and quite recently there was a working visit into france but prime minister of russia moved a lot in a protest and in the way of preparing for the g twenty summit in countries to meet the need you've actually pools which mr medvedev will be attending we believe that surely to goodness and i think in november or in limousin early december there will be another session of the intergovernmental commission chaired by the two prime ministers. that you're loosing and we when you implemented early this fall we're

planning another session which is to work of the cooperation council working with so you will use the so-called two plus two councils there in the middle of your friends comprised by ministers of foreign affairs of france and russia and defense ministers of the two states that are the ones who are planning another session of this council in moscow has pneumonia so you see we have quite a few plans for their lives as usual. and all of them are related to implementing existing agreements and preparing new important decisions and resolutions two in all matter long no measures and we have discussed the situation on the global arena that you know which the board has developing quite rapidly you must be able when you look. at the us news in with these two years that i see for instance which calls for more interaction between russia and france since that was the one that it depends on now or the millions of essential coordination and agreement is not a new problem how key global issues are resolved that on with even

the congo recognize and realize the responsibility of both countries on these matters each school of the mind used to that's the issue and with this in mind we have discussed in our political slope aeration for the new year a new peace with us so that we can choose to cause a near future because we have discussed the cooperation that in russia and the european union that we will send with his new movie good in relation to the recent summit in nizhny novgorod grateful to transfer the leading role it has played to new nationalist with a good school but in promoting our strategic partnership in most areas fields including facilitating contacts among people crippling you to go where the people were buzzing and strengthening the legal base and legal framework of the you can loosen the will agree with you you've been floating a crisis cooperation and a whole host of other areas for and so you know that you and russia and france are members of the russian nato council so naturally we had touched

a bit on money in these subjects as well but in special attention to the progress of negotiations about schools and sleep on the implementation of certain decisions of the lisbon summit and your seven years has been russia nato summit on creating a billion which are and missile defense systems we have also talked about intensify and they always see efforts on the exterior first of all in the context of. given. in peter's new showing you prefer the good news to the implementation of the seeds of decisions of last year's summit and thus to not be louis on forming an indivisible system and a big hole in the security system in our common region is just in the because of course we have discussed regional issues strong in the first of all the countries of north africa and middle east. we have discussed the situations and believe they're in syria and the situation there on those countries to you know and the

same applies to yemen but surely and this entire big region in general we have talked about iran's nuclear program just most of them on leash russia and france have been cooperating closely within the three plus three group or the five plus one as it is also known scottish i'm not sure we're interested. in the beginning on the full fledged negotiations with iran but and we have confirmed because our support group for the propositions there's overlap national and skin but in europe who are opposed to iranian partners with but also with the. vast majority of issues we have discussed skewness of what we have very close to whose positions on us these on a number of those issues we have certain sports of the stupidity ations is the first of all wars and serving the ways as the new majority of reaching our objectives the film well in general is so we have no arguments we want to see the world around us and the global community with the macwhich the issues insisting of

stable democratic race use to go to the flourishing states who share this will use that will be able to decide their fate on their own and would be full fledged members that you're welcome in the plug spot of the global life on equal rights so i am very satisfied with the progress of today's negotiations and i want to thank my colleague for this useful conversation and i give the floor to him. betsy. thank you ladies and gentleman i would like to. have been very pleased to work on. several occasions in paris. within the framework of g eight but this is the first time i come to foreign minister i thank. the. reception and also for really very very good

discussions that we had this morning for about two hours will continue during the lunch i am coming at a time when relations between our countries are excellent on the point but it is seen. in very close contact between our presidents and prime ministers and also between ministers of foreign affairs. i have indicated to several of would like to see him as often as possible to exchange information and to warble the building relation between our country. between our countries is excellent article economic relations have been going forward. in the past ten years we have seen the crippling economic changes between our two countries. and. many areas such as transportation and aeronautics not site all of them we have decided to continue to

go forward. grades the project. the development of tourism in russia france. has confirmed its participation and its support we also discussed european issues relations between the european union and russia i assured mr lawlor of. the willingness of friends. to resolve a soon as possible the question of reeses. to have a free travel while so far as the short term travel is concerned we have discussed this for some time but we think that before the end of the year this will be resolved we also discussed the relations between europe and russia in the energy area and i indicated trend says attached to the respect to a long term gas contracts we also discussed security problems of relations between

later and russia. france a very important to make sure that russia should be fully associated to the missile defense project and we have some concern and say here are the common concerns between our countries security also means the continent wide security during the recent summit. we reaffirmed the willingness of creating a common security and prosperity space and france will be making proposals to its partners in order to concretize the good intentions of this project and finally we will also discuss the crisis points crisis situations or gave lavrov has mentioned some of them in syria for example where some other goal we are in agreement that we should in order to put an end date to

all forms of violence and. for a program of real reforms on this score we have somewhat different approaches of. the role of the un security council but will continue to work so far as libya there are differences and. differences in the interpretation. and implementation of u.n. security council resolutions but so far as the means are there are differences. we are fully in agreement want to work together in order to find a political solution. at the moment. be based on the principles. of the g eight put forward to. the middle east. there

will be a quartet meeting in. washington and we want to join our efforts in order to make sure that negotiations restart between the two parties we also discussed iran . sergey has said we want to work together in order to stop the process of militarization we are. threats in the region and beyond of course we discussed a number of other questions in a very good atmosphere and i am very pleased that we have had this very good working session. because. this is the which is going to take a very sorry we cannot satisfy all the applications. of the ministers are on very

tight schedule your websites all their politicians were on the same subject actually fronts this so the first question please to france press. i have a question to. the libyan friends believes. it is working in conformity with the un resolution others think that that's not the case. has said. friends take the decision unilaterally of war or did it consult with its partners. have there also been. supplies to other countries. and i think. that. the overall. well so far as the question about mr lavrov is concerned he can answer but we certainly discussed this to be brief and i would say that the from the standpoint of friends

and it's not our opinion we are working strictly within the framework of the resolutions. resolution one thousand and seventy three and paragraph four. i recall. it says that all means can be used in order to help the civilian population to protect itself so we are working within this framework we informed our partners and our nato partners and the u.n. security council consensus was that. as for whether we might do something similar elsewhere i think that would very surprising because there is no security council resolution so far as i know that would apply to syria or to the german or to any other countries as a. he said we do have differences for this regard. but. this does not prevent us from working together to work for a political solution which is the only way that will permit the libyans to build

their future the future of a democratic libya well. with the little i can only confirm that the history of us has answered my question. and their answer was exactly as he just says these things with you that the resolution one thousand seventy three contains chapter. four which allows anyone to do anything for basically any lane. cells of this very chapter was the cause of our problems with resolution nine hundred seventy three because in all other aspects we support it but if we lose but due to their unwillingness of the co-author co-authors of that the resolution would lead you to decide who can do warts and what are the limits of the force that can be used and we thought we had a legal thing as a request to concretize this resolution that we had to abstain to go to the authors

and willingness to do that and as we have warned now we are facing these rather unpleasant situations. when they can be interpreted in the most different ways france and russia are permanent members of the security council and i think we could use both paris and moscow and other permanent members and nonpermanent members as well as being interested to go. in when you have a school in this organ the students teachers in the making clear will be decisions for misty you will sense since international law tolerates no ambiguity is what you and i hope we will be able to treat this problem within the regular consultations between moscow and paris and among all the four members of the security council and i hope we will reach an agreement on how to know what to do susan of in the future in cases like this as for the situation and use you quickly

in general russia and france will have no arguments on how the new libya should look. still in the us and we were unanimous. and our president said that tendo veil in a documentary to fight their movement that we are convinced of because should misuse that violence should be stopped as soon as possible and on the part of his should agree he leads. one hell libyans themselves are going to decide the fate and the future of their country the political and governmental situation in its q. and we have no doubts or arguments on this ultimate goal is president and it is mostly due to the request of nicolas sarkozy that he voiced end of ill will with the president it's an interim it's head of order to special envoy. says to actively in the efforts to.
