deals a minute through it signals that small thing doesn't get hoarded unionised. not all of. them emotion poured it. on the door of your. great britain july 17th 949 the son is born to young. polish immigrant and his english wife free to marjorie chumley even though the family was already multinational the parents could never have foreseen that one day their child would become a russian. russian i'm an immigrant to this country but i'm. and it's my home and

no one can something bad about it they should firstly look at themselves. john lives here in the village of kuta a region that's not his house it's not hotel john built for tourists he designed it to take up residence in an old couch it today i'm living here in russian it's called the perry hall decoded door between to cut off next to cut sheds in this room a natural fact is where the milking operating. equipment was this is where we started . farming life more now than 26 years ago if you look at the roof it's the roof of a normal corona nic that this is a home. used to sell steel and he's lived and worked in 12 countries rich handsome and successful seeking to russia for the 1st time in december 1991 on a 3 day business trip those were tough times the sivia union had dissolved and the

long queues outside grocery store all in all he wasn't expecting a lot of good to come out of that trip. i came here expecting will save us to have a neck that came from the areas to the shoulders and being drunk it was that kind of image it was interesting and people after paris troika everybody was very hospitable because it was a new life capitalism hadn't arrived so people had more free time went to a couple of bars went back and resigned it said i want to go to russia i jumped at this opportunity i jumped at it so quickly up because i was frightened of losing it i was 42 at the time i just felt at home. today john could his he owns one of the biggest farms in russia. and produces 50 tons of milk.

but all of. you know it took it all but you did he need to buy it of was to. give him enough money to be thief is not see through. the book but for most they just got over me put into a bolshevist it's the. same in good netiquette not to the war hero. but the most the war bolshoi the minimum. it's a. sick joke. on you capri isn't it with some they grow up and die in comfort or die in court or die him her or she spawn him yes yes the i need nobody me i'm so. bored. but.

it took john a while to become a farmer when he 1st lived in russia he sold steel and coal and even part of the coal mine for that free and rich british man life was relaxed and easy until one day he decided to give it all up and buy one abandoned collective farm and then another in fact john might never have become a farmer if it wasn't for. i was a free man but i think god decided that this man is no good to be free so within 3 months i was in a bar on to a sky free man i was looking across and there was a tall blonde lady and i think i was going to buy her a drink i took one step back in the one you saw chairman of the building on august i'll forward you know me a dozen new details about the dock at north for the start this over to us and i said oh i'm very sorry do you speak english and he also was of course not so i'm

sorry can i buy you a drink in the guest of course as the only 2 words she knows. me a clue yet 10 years and in the last night alone i said well well but i thought i knew i don't know about a lot that that's ocean with that of the clotilde you know i just not go out at the . plough her. once in the hope she'll phone is so wonderful i wish me this away because the does that inst i thought. the talk now what's that i'll lie was the prose style it would only go yes brasil you which is you need to some way not to adore me. don't. you dog mrs devout 3. we got to know each other very quickly there are lots of questions but my questions

are mainly what did you do when you were young what it was because i had this image and here i am an international business guy well i heard about these bloody russians. that's what i stroll in the grave no less what and you go i asked a little scuse ancient chinese about that anthem as i doing young adult don't know but again yes my little boy because i didn't go there what the russians ancient and he's given us he would begin you know that. it's like shit that i wouldn't like to nina's flat one day if i opened a photograph album and there i found photographs of a normal person 13. going to the north with the dogs going down to the cuff skiing and having parties with their friends i virtually cried out of shape because this horrible image of newnham will go out it is the yeah. those of. us that were in the upstairs and you can go idea yeah i don't know i guess you could go and be a good one i think. our ship. it's just us what it's sometimes deviant he

truly. does indeed. you do most all of us up in each other a. little go to mind your mind. by by. second oh yes. i'm when you showed me serve no voter or. will mean you're. just i'm a groupie coffees the small drink feel many times oh yes. i did share with. you was he was comes to the new. year yeah it was the other i've just. got no. i don't know just goes on just so. here i was. dead outside. my deal.

at the. time. and i just built a new porch i have a new. chum to step up on though i just along as the. moment i just looked up and i was gone yes it gets me i set you free will but don't . know how pops up don't. feel. go to the border and you go with us but what. we say is that you know stuff that you're whining hurts over here with them is that. but it's some little got some mumble should stay on the go out in. the arctic a shit if i wish someone else likes and i'm going to. go in there what i have to go on with success because i know our. children help out on the farm but the daughters

go to school so they only help during the weekends and holidays the sons on the other hand are always working. there's not enough. bread in these old is not you know the oldest son step on on the tube but he hasn't always spent a long time in exile in his father's homeland. so you would see a little god go i don't. i did just get i gave him a certain amount of money took him to a country town called both and said you don't like russia live here i took it russian postpones said see you and when i see you you have the most of you have but it's good. to have pride to spend. some of with. what i want to thought i was doing and i just went. along with the what he did

why do you still pick up the park i would not so was key would be. way off the field at the court it was that it was i should get into it you don't see that much at the bar we're not. racist you're not so old but it's pretty seedy a problem with along the line you. must see him putting it over to the butts of. the problem with. response i see it. schools i see have a problem with a problem with a lot so you will sol because those people did not understand him or joked about him and after 3 years he cried to his mother i'll join the army i'll go to siberia i want to come home his choice. was a pandemic no certainly no borders to nationalities. as

american people to be we don't have the facts in world peace to. judge a. commentary prices. until. we can do better we should. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been masked so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. world is driven by drugs shaped by.

the day or thinks. we dare to ask. you cannot be involved with yeah you're right. johnny is happy that his son chose russia and makes no secret of it john made the

same choice back in 1901 it took him 6 years to become a russian citizen at that time the russian security agency was suspicious of an englishman wanting a russian passport in 1907 of course it was everybody was wanting to leave and this he did came along and wanted to live here when i was interviewed by the federal the printer k.g.b. in those days they came to me and said well why do you want to live in russia i said fine but i'm fine that entre fraid of the maffia i said i've got the best creation it could who are single spitball. for quite some time now john has spoken of russia with terms like our people and my country he really visits the u.k. he gets a bald then too quickly and relations with his british family have become. complicated to i've got brothers and sisters in the u.k. and i think it annoyed them when i spoke last spoke to them some years ago that i

said well our children will meet at the border with is a conflict to come to the border maybe my sister's son there and maybe my daughters on the other side of it they don't understand that as an englishman. i have no loyalty is there i have lots of anger and disappointment i like it here i mean it is difficult for people to understand they have democracy and freedom but what freedom is doing today is close to and freedom is a right to say what you want but not to destroy anything. why the way they deface winston churchill a book no idea i think it's stupid i think it's baseless emotions history is history a maybe these memorials a tremendous what not to do i mean ok we know there was slavery if there wasn't any slavery they wouldn't be in america it's a bit hypocritical to me what was what was you can't change it history is

a lesson but you must understand it you must study any person that wants to be cultural must understand history not just of their company of the world as a whole. in those closely with local. interest new year's in the source of perugia but the most or you know elite 3 teaching to me is the bill of you to go in ball park dome what i see it but don't call it install the norm or should be should be optimistic as dialing in thank you for that but it doesn't it. but i'm going with that what you know about cloud atlas store but you want it when you get away i will what you got on that with your winning in you in the way that there is 91 or 2 in this occupy 3 on your number one issue because upload productive but i see you. when you started nya nya. own universe.

but you wanted to do when you bought your version it. the red zone is actually did it catered to the history of the collective the john and you know bullshit but stalin is such a controversial figure that a lot of the attention and arguing is about him and the complicity family is no exception. which of us forest i was alone watching it with you were with. us on when you were. trying to start a little. bit. of. the job as i know it's a. horrible thought of the question that you should. be enriching that's why i want

to bring out what's cool. about the show. before we go though that this it's a business for. syria . noting companies need this might not just be because the shark. joins other passion is cheese making. making cheese with milk from his own farm it's a liberal. beat. john started making cheese 6 years ago when europe and the u.s. imposed sanctions on russia in response russia bans the new imports which was good

news but. i think the embargo for us was very good i think it firstly allowed. the people to gain back their pride to be russian before we were kind of losing it and today i think in my opinion we have the embargo against them they don't sanctions against us because they lost much more. john makes a variety of cheeses he's about to show some of them interestingly he named one after himself john as an aide to john as they do is your local a p r c m is it's a it was a peach what. should the. italians. sweeney's you want her or sleepless in the restaurant keeper is to us or for you to post to see you know moira it to see you know is a very it's a type but then wish don't you know you have this because i mean it of course study soviets it experiment know it and if it was just even the cause of the promise i.

figured you'd go eat their own to get off. at work johnny's only ever referred to as johnny on which to find his english name a long time ago i don't like mr john i don't like uncle joe my real middle name is max well where it came from i have no idea you know in the west in the u.k. you name your son's middle name after a football team it has no meaning and also to me this is important about here it's the respect of your parents i think it's very this continuation where did you come from here the middle name you take of your father so i'm john young which means i am the son of young and i'm very proud of it it will delay its uniqueness as well this is the numbers not stored on a small t.v. provision you want to stop when you meet him you also because he just really knew even the most treasured possession that he appointed there when she. was you know

greeting a lot of little snippets to anyone because i knew i had to reply to him you would need the role and own daughter. john is a tough manager who even conducts random checks at night control in the bush. on newsnight does he not you are just so many of. us go i need to make sure the biggest nabila who disappeared. the poor like. you. did to be what. it had to be dug out here the pipe his sons who tend to be on the receiving end their dad isn't an easy boss but apparently it's better than sitting in england. so if you're just not your. business. just play what a pity it is not important what's worse to me but i want to see him. on no serious

. just in the service not you know sort of. door. quality of not just because a vote vote vote vote vote daily misperceive i don't mean me i'm so bored me actually lead of those would be. good to have you know. but you. don't know anybody so. that's the source of. home. is crucial thing. when you go well if you steal.

another family hobby is horses. the russian breeds of course they run a riding school along with an equine assisted therapy facility the zone's jones only source of income. it doesn't look poor. it does. they also own traditional russian troops because driving one is a really tool skill these days it's very complicated and not a tool popular but the computer skills are resurrecting this old tradition. but i didn't expect the rolls royce it to not be about it. but yes he's after saudi

arabia sniffed because of us see a b. is near ft me more. than not. when i asked nina to marry me she said i'll think about it i need to talk to my priest. the other were pissed of with. one of the last. so i said i believe in god i don't have a problem i'm just looking for god so i'll be christians and he went to the church of envoy. i was stripped given a white shirt and baptized. 15 years ago we started building this judge. in the name of the lady is found

christ and we joke about that because in russian is made on all sets and when i heard this i thought it was jong. was it what the hell is johnny miller and also what does this mean by the natural fact is the ladies of. i've always believed in god but the catholic church honesty frightened me. and in russian we have this what struck most of the fear of god and when i was a catholic i she feared going to church oh shit every time i was going to church aside done something wrong to be struck down by lightning. and i like the russian confession here i like like many things in russia the lack of hypocrisy. i don't think i should justify why i believe i believe that even if you know the believe of the 10 commandments are not bad laws by which everybody

should live particularly today. i love my home here and i think that anybody that wants to come here. will be welcomed honestly it is not propaganda not paid for this fortunately or unfortunately it's a great country that has huge horizons i like the huge horizons and where there's a huge arise and there's always potential. i was a robot when i came here i was a typical. international businessman traveling 9 months a year sleeping 4 hours a night so this is created a much nicer man i think. i'm happy of course i'm happy and it was photo of become 70 years old i never thought to see my youngest daughter reach 15 so russia's give me a long life as well. i've got everything i want but my one dream is that all my children

find the same kind of happiness i did. oh eat.

the. ground. a short time ago an american airplane. hiroshima. stake a claim then we. go. our own. chin it's. like most americans growing up after the war the bombs were a great thing they ended the war they say hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides and that's what my grandfather always said was his reason for the decision. truman was hoping for a dual strategy one was to drop the bombs and hope that japan would surrender and number 2 the americans were trying to send

a message to the soviet union there was american poor planning in october 145 and had chosen 20 targets and russia. join me every week on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. just. when customers go. well we do some our. best undercutting but what's good for food markets it's not good for the global economy.
