bringing you the top news and commentary from around the world direct from the heart of moscow this is r.t. i'm sean thomas in glad to have you with us moscow has criticized the way the u.n. security council resolution on libya has been interpreted after france admitted it supplied weapons to rebel forces russia has also urged the international community not to seek to enforce regime change in syria but instead to help political dialogue within the country our correspondent natalia has been following the meeting between russian and french foreign ministers in moscow. libya was the key issue discussed during a meeting between two foreign ministers that's following france's deployment of arms to libya france admitted its air dropped its guns in order to help civilians

protect the. selves and according to french foreign minister when it comes to protection of civilians school measures are justified they claim that u.n. security council's resolution allows them to do so russia believes it isn't it is unacceptable that it violates arms embargo to libya and russian foreign minister has said even though two ministers two countries have similar views on libya's future that has to be peaceful and democratic states that's a u.n. security council resolution can be easily misinterpreted to the resolution nine hundred seventy three contains chapter full which allows anyone to do anything this very champ's it was the cause of our problems with the mandate in all of the aspects we supported and as we have warned now we're facing a rather unpleasant situations when it can be interpreted in most different ways i think moscow in paris and other u.n. security council members are interested for the body to release concise documents to the international law does not need to put up with ambiguity meanwhile

representatives of the african union have already spoken out about this saying that they are afraid of proliferation they fear that those guns make and up in the hands of terrorists and that's going to be a threat to the insider region russia's envoy to nato has said at a press conference in moscow that he fears that an on grounds operation is just around the corner and that oppression is only going to prolong this conflict and worsen situation in the whole region in general meanwhile when it comes to syria the two foreign ministers are not quite on the scene between guarding that uprising moscow's stands for or against a u.n. security council resolution towards syria while france has been going on with the council to take action will still believe that only a political solution of this crisis is possible and as foreign minister lavrov has said the opposition can feel we have to sit down and talk with us our government

instead of ignoring the confessions and before that if. which is an italian overcover reporting for us there now meanwhile thousands of libyans defined the nato bombardment of tripoli have taken to the streets to voice their support for colonel gadhafi the largest demonstration since the alliance's attack began one hundred days ago was addressed by the country's leader speaking by telephone apparently for his own safety gadhafi told the crowd that libyans it could take revenge on europe for supporting rebel forces government troops have pushed back insurgent units which had been advancing under the cover of nato airstrikes meanwhile the african union has come up with a road map for peace in libya saying that khadafi has agreed to an inclusive dialogue process without his direct involvement. he has also exclusively spoken to colonel gadhafi son in tripoli saif al islam says that nato is after his country's natural resources but that libyans who support his father will keep

fighting to prevent their nation falling under foreign control this country is a piece of cake rich for the. oil and we have more than one hundred billion dollars deposits abroad so we have to share this cake that it need to focus. on harry we want the principle soon as possible because the hungry. they want to share the cake. slake for them levy is like fast food like mcdonald's fast because if you should be fast fast fast airplanes fast minutes past the kid my brother he young civilian he had nothing to do with the war with politics he was studying in germany because of the war he came back to libya he was there sleeping because. what nato says that we bomb

eighty shares when they were acting as a position. they called it a national crime when the previous government sold chairs now they want to do the same and sell the shares now at a low price we don't think we'll see investment or any development of it to you we think the only thing others will care. abilities profit profit profit. they continue schools from the public to refuse the quest of privatizing asian proposals set forth by the choice to seemingly gone and hurt their presser from the european union is three men who we would talk about blackmail against the greek government critics of anarchy that they thanking and they and acting out to self-interest keeping profits private lets the last is to say she lies nothing you hear is not like greeks have to stretch back into deep history to figure this out we can look at latin american we can look at countries all over the world where the i.m.f. has come in and sacrificed and plundered the nation for corporate consolidation and

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 me is the all hot sculpture park next to the famous one nine hundred thirty eight granite sculpture of the soviet leader there are many interesting locations and places connected to the soviet leaders life and death. this is sinister monuments 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 is 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 to step cheese 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 impaired. believe he's. a leader that led the country after lenin. he was a burden lot of people 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 a world class was. a great warrior. brought through. some really really tough times in the war. leave that he did what he had to do to. visit twice time magazine's person of the year to this day stalin 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. in which engine if we did not believe in his time many people say he's a terrible tyrant but how can we know who he was or how he rules. the soviet art here at the new trough gallery is well worth seeing it off as

a real insight into the creativity of the time this grand piece is called stallin and for a show in kremlin painted by alexander guess i'm off in my thing thirty eight he was one of the few mostest courts to officially work on commission off each cell and i remember that all work had to celebrate the media and the state to paste in the myth of a happy country a daunting task for any artist of the time and serbia pieces like these have been gaining much more popularity in the world school should houses. was now arrived at red square. burial site 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 ugly enough still generally loved by the masses although lennon 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 the embalmed and later arrest next

to lenin fades 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 hearing. 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 for. a textile aaron 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 serbia literature. well as a file of literature around several meetings here with various writers in this building he even later went on to give the house to the writer. hundred 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 marble staircase maybe stalin had a sense of humor after all but at the moment still 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. assume it was one of the kids who spent time here during his childhood that he 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 is forced to write his masterpiece the master margarita in secret. so what other venues or

locations in the capital are connected with joseph stallin stallin had several residences outside moscow or dashes as the cool russia his favorite one was the residents known as the houses built in the one nine hundred thirty s. but it had undergone reconstruction in changes many times according to stalinist haste he likes the place not a mostly lived there during the second world war period and beyond. famously died at the residence in march one hundred fifty three sans bunker in this model is a branch of the central museum of armed forces it's an exciting place to visit as it's an authentic military construction from the one nine hundred thirty s. used by stalin jawing 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 sadia 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. could be handy nowadays to avoid being stuck in traffic. on the road selling played in the u.s.s.r. 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 made to the country. let's meet this week's guest. thank you so great to meet you well oh so you all of the architecture cheetah here the stroke in your young mostly worry doing research research projects well it is not the old teaching or working picture well that but that was a great do it program well and well this year there are five themes well one of them is the preservation of every teacher regarding architectural heritage

stalin's architecture is very dominant in the russian capital today and yes you're right well of course telling the stark a picture of well as a great impact well to the urban structure of moscow did it to dilute the it with a c.t. in it on the way in moscow also in another c.t. so russia. well i think in this world this. its influence is very serious still to today because we cannot imagine moscow without for example seven sisters we don't still against skyscrapers with with metro. as well. but. i would prefer to split 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 and i think historians well. well my personal way to do it is negative of course but i'm not sure that all the all the russian people know are. with me it was great to me here thanks for your time and good luck with your work here that struck 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 russian history when i was in school. and read. the role of russia in the second world war and i read a book called marx lenin stalin. 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 on a sunny day in the capital although 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 minute. of complex which serve not only as offices for the party's top officials and the leader of the state would also their apartments were located inside the kremlin walls. whether tyrant or hero one thing is clear just like peter the great polian or hitler the soviet leader will be forever criticized discussed and evaluated from the ancient. old seven sis's skyscrapers you too can visit many places connected with the most controversial man in russian history. a savior.
