hello again the world from flu spotlight being to marty and our knowledge and today we continue our election levy. and december fourth russia is electing that doing the lower childbirth. to seven parties that campaigning for the four hundred fifty six under the new laws and peace term in office will be five years instead of four over the course of the campaign spotlight give it up community to hear from all the parties and so they might guess this united visit got the leader of the russian economy. the strongest reminder of russia's soviet past is lenin's mausoleum on red square in moscow while the leader of the revolution rest peacefully here at the very heart of russia's capital the prison there members of the party he founded are working hard getting ready for the parliamentary election the second major party in russia and like all of those standing in the election

race aspired to be the first in one thousand nine hundred one just before the soviet union collapsed economy spikey of them saw the republic of russia almost bound by decreed by president yeltsin a coup years later the party remerge to under the leadership of do not use uganda the painful transition from state run to unlocking to in the one nine hundred ninety s. some millions of russians into poverty many became this knowledge of the times of the soviet union when low prices in this. and wages were guaranteed by the state the communist party grew in popularity on the back of that sentiment throughout the turbulent nineties but the turn of the century so great economic stability in russia and the subsequent song in the party's approval ratings we had despite the ups and downs the party has seen its candidates always been second you know presidential elections since the fall of it was. seven decades israel communist

still the soviet union accepted no rivals now they find themselves in a parliamentary election race with six other bodies including their major one and the ruling united russia party which won six times as many seats in the state duma four years ago. that it's hello mr zyuganov and welcome to the show that. says we have an international audience my first question go to this is the communist party happy with russia's current foreign policy and if not how would you change it but he's. pretty good he's. definitely not happy for one simple reason. russia's plan to following other country's policies and i'm able to resolve many of his problems will affect among other things how russia survives the crisis russia produces approximately five hundred million tons of crude oil which accounts for fifteen percent of global

production at the same time where not convulsed in determining the price of that oil the price is determined by b. wigs in london and new york and since natural gas is packed to oil this basically means they decide gas prices to users it's not really new york a price is a set by opec and russia is not a member of opec anyway the point is we have no say in it secondly we could have pursued own industrial strategy for modernization but instead the government is. taking orders from the w t o they say don't subsidize science don't subsidize agriculture and bring domestic prices for hydrocarbons up to the international level how can our industry compete then one production costs and russia are much higher as two thirds of russia up on a frost you can buy the best machines from germany and bring the best skilled professionals to the euros but still we have to make the walls of your factory in

the urals thicker than in europe and have to lay the pipes deep down in europe and your workers will have to wear your winter clothes your costs will be higher no matter what that's why our foreign policy should help russia develop not just follow uncle sam blindly and at other dictate terms to us as a matter of fact i was going to ask you about the w t o rumor has it russia will join a w t o immediately after the elections. or are you against that's it. it's not that there is nothing wrong with russia joining the w t l the question is on what terms to be joined. this ng we concepts of science but only precisely a third of inventions in the world were coming from russia. look at what bill gates employees fifty percent are mathematicians from russia. how can we develop skolkovo

if we ignore all the science projects. another should be a think the best science park in the world with twenty five world class institutes is now left without financing. how can we develop agriculture if winter's last six to seven months even in our best lands in the combined region of. a hunter compete with britain or france. that's why we need to defend our interests otherwise our entire second do sector and agriculture will vanish without a gain. that moreover russia has forty one million hectares of abandoned land if we invest in those lands and cultivate them we will be able to supply seven hundred million people with natural organic furred. google food prices will only grow in the future. russia is importing harmatz food. which is very unwise and very inefficient. mr zyuganov there is

another thing i would like you to comment on the media you have probably heard about the occupy wall street movement that started in the united states and spread through other countries. now we have had guests on this studio say it was nothing other than a socialist revolution. he said. what do you think of this theory. let's face it the liberal speculative model that the united states has forced upon the world after the war i mean the economic model. yes the financial and economic model it has failed hitting wall street in centuries old banks you can't plug that hole with more money obama's failed to do it and so has europe. it was flourishing only yesterday and they can't even bail out chris and they have crises in portugal and possibly spain and italy coming up this means they need

a different approach government needs to play a bigger role social policies need to be smarter regulation in various areas including the finance market needs to improve. bankers' object to that naturally obama is trying to deal with them but he can't europe can't do anything either speculating and blowing financial bubbles is not only dangerous capitalism has had twelve crises over its one hundred fifty year history the last two global crises resulted in world wars it is still unclear how the current crisis will end with the second wave coming up already sweeping across the u.s. by the way i recently met with steve cohen one of america's best political experts will discuss the situation in detail the protests currying in eighty two countries worldwide their currencies müller a medium sized towns but does it look like

a socialist revolution it looks like a new stage of claws struggle in order for a revolution to happen the lower classes need to be no longer willing to live as before and the upper classes need to be no longer able to control the situation you also need a social force a strong smart well organized party capable of carrying it out we're not quite at that point yet but you have to keep in mind that both the east and the west and not have much time left every fourth person on earth today is suffering from a shortage of bread and water. they will not remain patient for long could write him presently occurred in forty countries of the world mr zyuganov. called me commented i understand your hints about the need for a strong party. but communist and socialist parties are very weak in the countries where the occupy events protests are happening the russian communist party only contrary is the second biggest party in the country. russia parts here it is the

main opposition party the oldest party in russia l. of course it is very influential in the country indeed. right its influence is huge i say that to speak so well of us are you going to vote for us in the elections you see i'm still undecided on what exactly i'm going to do on december the fourth the question is why are people not coming out into the streets in russia where the communist party is so strong it never happens even when prices are raised or the economy breaks down that. it happens in all other countries but not in russia. why is that happening is it because of the russian mentality or because you're not doing your job properly. first of all russia has a very special history of social protests no other country in the world has suffered so many difficulties problems and so much grief related to public protest

the russians remember that and they would rather change the situation by voting than with cons and seriously in that when the subway fare doubles russians can live with it because the civil war would be much worse anyway. it's not just that in many ways it is a question of traditional. but there is also not a tradition i once said that if people don't come out into the street in full force they will not stop until they have dealt with the people who are robbed our country go devalue their savings and shut down seventy five thousand factories who abuses their children who are responsible for all pervasive corruption who ignore the keys of the children women and old men anyone raping our country today should keep this in mind especially those who are trying to score seventy percent of the upcoming elections by stealing and planting ballots instead of organizing decent electoral

debates where the real competition between artie's their leaders and their programs . these people are not just taking a mild risk. they need to take a look at what's happening in north africa and especially egypt barrack's party their gyptian version of united russia has scored eighty percent of the elections prior to his downfall knowledge of should we believe these results given the current crisis if russia has no credible government this will destabilize the situation and mainly to mass riots says good ideas you got the leader of the communist party spotlight voted as should we all feel great self state with that you. are an

actor. well. more and more mouths to feed but where will the food come from can science provide the answers to the future of food under the microscope if we've got the future covered. the a. move. just so. it's just so. just so

pissed some other. female. come up. to british style it's not on the tightness. market finiteness succumbed to find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report on our.

motion would be soo much brighter than if you knew more about someone from feinstein's passions. who for instance on t.v. don't come. let's just say.

welcome back to spotlight i log now and just to remind my guest on the show today is the. leader of the communist party here rich spencer mr zyuganov you have just confirmed something that many foreigners say i mean the people in russia do not fight for their rights but all they can do is riot. he said russians don't protest when prices are is known but if they do take to the streets the consequences will be very serious. on the contrary russian people are born fighters because of the vast expanses of this country out of a thousand years of russian history we spend seven hundred years in battles and wars defending our freedom and our religion our culture and our land our hopes and aspirations of course russians are very tolerant people because it's what we have

fought hard to well we had to overcome numerous difficult is it would have been impossible to develop such a huge continent without hard labor tenacity and patience when i first stepped on sell an island and turned to look at russian territory overlaid by call over the urals over the volga river at most concerned it is barrack i was immediately convinced that impatient and good for nothing people would not have been able to develop such a piece of land a question and susie as a man russian capacity to get over difficulties to do this that's something we are good at getting over our challenges without too much grumbling but there is a limit to our patience and now that it's reaching its limit the situation is becoming dangerous for everyone. let us not talk about modern day communists about your eyes or all. your mention several times that the communist party is not disappears here because here is policy of this so if you near your vision your objectives and your methods are different from those employed by the soviet

communist party which created and eventually destroyed the soviet union who are you these days actually. illiberal zor social democrats. or are you missing the paternalist style in this state. mr goulden always knew that you are a master of some art and to hear questions this is a subject that can only be treated in a big volume curse the communist party of the soviet union was not a political party but a system of administrative and political control a developed in the crucible of two world wars when it was necessary to centralize control over the country as much as possible but originally it was a policy yes it grew out of a political party but then it was betrayed by the socialist revolution it is an express to provocations then the war broke out of chile the communists pursued are extremely flexible policy given lenin adopted a number of consecutive programs while communism surplus requisitioned could tax

and the new economic policy which was a fine balance between public and private property and the girl a plan was the most prevalent on innovation the project inversion history so the policies pursued by the communist party have been quite a verse again dissolute communist party went through some evolution and during the war the official number of communists among the population was just three percent but among those who fell and about zero that figure was forty percent that's because many sold and offices wanted to be remembered as communists and because they were killed since the war the communist party has had many victories it sent the first satellite into space harnessed the atom and achieved a nuclear parity believe us but once some of its leaders namely got a bunch of yeltsin and others exempted betrayed the concept of justice and respect for the working class and uses our began to collapse our party is just one on the list we welcome political competition we want democratic and fair elections and these should be elections not vote rigging elections where they keep rigorous will

engage in an open dialogue and debates i have personally invited president yeltsin put in an inventive for debates today it's the communist party the defense. impractical and they sins and this country while the regime relies on illegal activities and vote rigging now moving on to a different aspect our party decided to guarantee freedom of religion with its ranks about a third of our supporters i believe it is almost work is a vote for us and support our party also we think this should be multiple forms of property public property collective property and private property these three types should compete with each other and there's one thing you need to bear in mind if you want to introduce a free market economy along with the transcend beer and railway you will only be able to do so within the range of fifty kilometers from the railroad beyond this corridor production costs will be so high that you won't survive without government regulation in the russian empire prime minister said gave it introduced takes transport rates for the wages of sabeer in russia's far east was not allowed to

raise the rate east of chalabi and otherwise will never be able to develop siberia and the far east what do you think must be changed in russia's political system. first with urgent the need to change our financial and economic policies things will only get worse a new wave of economic downturn has hit the us and now is sweeping across europe well part of that system the russian budget is based on the assumption that the average oil price will be one hundred dollars a barrel if it falls below the seventy dollars budget will go down to pieces we won't be able to meet our social obligations i mean to pay pensions to it in the now and says our salaries to public workers second put is government should be dismissed immediately it isn't acceptable to have ministers like considered off they're not capable of brushing efficiently in a modern day environment said we need to pass a law that would turn our mineral resources into a source of revenue for the whole nation not just

a small group of people ashleigh as ation of mineral resources it's not just nationalization we had a popular referendum recently and nine million people voted in favor of a plan what is the root cause of the problem in the united arab emirates for example ninety dollars out of the hundred an interim oil production would be placed international coffers to pay for free because in medical insurance and so on in norway eighty two dollars out of one hundred will go to boost the nation's wealth to small countries norway has turned into a winter games champion russia has more snow and ice than anyone else in the world but despite that we barely made it into the top ten countries of the vancouver olympics and it's a point out you're a smart politician. of course you don't need much snow and ice to become a champion of winter games just as you don't need to leave on an island there is the oceans to become a swimming champion. but this facilities must be available to all groups of people including children you're right there is today any sports facility would charge you

a fee that's an outrage therefore one of our future steps would be to make all the facilities that were. once a misappropriated available to children again but again all kinds of property will be allowed they will compete with each other but the government should be a smart and official manager not just a guard protecting someone else's property other ways where do but this option is hard to do but it is acceptable either in the west or in the east much as in russia where we're on for president or at a spring election next year it depends on the outcome of the december vote of course i'm nominated as a presidential hopeful in all russian which in siberia the far east north caucasus the euro's district and the volga district and one of the most experienced and qualified politicians have given lectures in all of the world's best universities and spoke spoken to members of parliament in all major countries i'm familiar with international agenda and i've been working in the council of europe for seventeen

years i studied european experience i've participated in all the assemblies of the international conference of asian political parties we have a strong team our election ballot consists of seventy three groups and more than forty of them are headed by famous scientists among key figures our nobel laureate in physics us all thought of command of russia's black sea fleet admiral come to time here of the soviet union test pilots have known as i've been square was also an excellent expert on defense and security where members in the big business community entrepreneurs who helped develop western siberia and demonstrated their ability to compete in the international market again we have quite a strong and intelligent team which is fit to set up a government of national confidence so you don't rule out running for president no . here's the last question then why do you think russia suffered from a problem of political leadership that you took over a lot only talking about the opposition very often we don't see a leader even in the ruling party do you. know why we do

have this it's just that mediocracy is dominating politics the ruling party. stand smart intelligent and promising people they're afraid of them thank you very much for being with us i just i reminded that my guest on the show today was a good idea who got the leader of the communist party of which and that's the finale for waltz spock life will be back with you tell them to stay on our take and take. place to please.
