is a ticket, my pristine orthodox tradition is all about forgiveness. i heard about forgiveness but had no idea how it was enough. when you get to experience something like this and you get to feel all your rage and then realize that unless you find it, you to work through it and the right way to get used to each other in the end and get the same energy that can healthy, happy in i mean history channel the right way. so that doesn't destroy you in situations when you're so full of it and it's looking for a way out really what were the mel. hm. gary and most terrifying thing that would that look up to experience them made you angle of what was black? i was angry and these freshman, what were the most scary veins? i'm sorry for making a really that was the hardest thing to he just is hard to say. now, what was the hardest on probably the hardest thing was being unable to talk to my family for a long time. i had one cold per month. they were hard times with the lawyers too, but not getting enough time with friends and family as the hardest thing that ever happened to me. yes. then quite a lot of time and solitary confinement the sounds right?

yes. about 3 years. how is that even possible? what helped you get through the age of when it was the hardest thing for me, i spend in solitary, only full months. you know, maria, i got my hands in a book once that had this interesting idea that the environment is actually neutral from it's only up to us to view it in a very negative or very positive light. well, there is an english saying it's either tormentor or your mental issue is up there was to learn to see the environment is complete or neutral, spoke guilty. how did you survive in desoto, butch, i'll tell you. no problem to best of you know, they brought me to the cell, locked me out of, you know, i did talk to a creature and i still remember the sound of that door locking up and then the ringing silence and the blinding fluorescent light. for example, in mc lane, new york so called tend the south ward, or that only has 6 cells, or they even the tiniest of windows sealed, so that you can't see any thank you. it's much more than just sensory deprivation. it's got that color, they paid everything inside the of white. they cool. they buy food. i think we could have white nights in russia. it's

a pretty grey too. and they make it all bleak on the policy. because if you know the created the u. s. prison system, so but the nazis delivered it to america as part of the operations made the claim that it was damn. who said, that is how you break people. couple making will do what you want, based on their experience. and when the door closed, my food and then silence, i panic, it was tough. so you're now i thought it hung and the only way out was to say okay, or what would change if i panic? am i going to bang my head on the door with a scream at the top of my voice trying to prove i am innocent. this won't help us when we have something in our dna, our blood tradition. i don't know how, but it just came to me. i just let my heart do what it wanted out. i didn't crawl into bed. do you know how i started my every day? i laughed fell 1st. 5 minutes after i woke up below 1st and i was hysterical cuz he was so hard to make myself laugh under those circumstances. and then i started to understand what was going on. first, it warms you up, then it works as hormonal stimulation, and just want to let you feel depressed for the rest of your day. but when you start each day with 5 minute laughter laughing at yourself at the situation,

you are in new york, you start to realize that life is again, 2 years nolly in doing good. his idea of when you treat it like that, it changes everything. when you have visitors, you're smiling, you're laughing, and they hate to see that you don't pull your hair out, scratch your face right on the walls with your own blood thumb. you know how it is in prison if you applies even though they sometimes keep the lights on in yourself or for lead you hungry for a day and then the lieutenant comes with open your cell. can you imagine he's the only one with a cane? of gods cannot even give you food without help is a so he's busy, so you stop. and then at night they bring you all 3 meals shopping, 3 dishes through that whole cook with their apologies peers. and i wish i could call that food. but then again, it's from the nazi playbook. it's called calculated and everything is done on purpose that maria, it's all by design, quite well food did they get the, the menu a standard at the b o. p. and it didn't change. can you imagine almost 12 years i spent it stayed almost the same. on wednesdays. we had hamburgers with fries burned to crystal, sorta on say chicken,

what you call it. bush later killed out giant unmatched chip. legs. got the absolutely. they smell like, well, i won't say this on camera. i talked to prison managers and they didn't understand what was the matter or have you ever tasted it? i asked them, well, what's wrong with that food? they asked me in return for. it's inevitable. it's inhuman that i had to spend 2 years in tie prison, and despite it being horrible, dirty and overcrowded, they allowed any food. you can order that. my wife asked me what i wanted and had it delivered that to me. while in the u. s. maria, just imagine what it feels like to never taste garlic and 10 years, or fennel, parsley, or strawberries, and it all adds out double up when i was in solitary confinement, i lost interest in food for a while. i began to rapidly lose weight and you lose appetite. when you're treated by this, i had to force myself to eat. can you imagine? i knew i would have ended up now nourished. if i didn't. but it almost lost a lot of weight. my muscles had been shrinking. why did you force yourself to eat? but almost i realized i just had to do it. otherwise i told him what fool. sorry, what fool from what was you per cancel. i worry not desperate and i did not despair

. us. i had to do it because in my mom that i knew i could knock on her mucous veined in her doorstep of malnutrition, the same. here's what i told myself. if i'm sick one week or broken down is not going to help anyone. my mom kept crying for the 1st couple of years, mostly whenever i called her on the phone. we cannot even have a proper conversation where she would just start crying. so i realized that the only option was to be a man. you want yourself to be autumn. attention will work. just be yourself surprising me. there were times on i didn't have enough time for everything. really hope i had my entire existence mapped out before i did this and, and read books. i took the languages where they were great textbooks and i was able to use my time for a good purpose that laddie to learn. i thought i used to learn language to write it so good that you're awesome. what did you want from the average? boy, he decided along the challenging question was i thought a lot about him while the circus. that's what an ordinary person would think. among the truth of the matter. it was that there was no substance there. accusation, boy,

just one thing. if i ever involved in some schedule, but even the judge says, i've not seen any evidence vegas obese, normal business medical for many businessmen do the same causal is not done anything really illegal, but our conspiracy laws do not allow me to convict him of that master you have like a different level and you ship good that it was really all the necessary documents, right? god. but the flights would take off for european cities where the goods would have been changed by the police and the costumes and land in an african country where the local authorities would inspect the goods, as well as the same as trying to arrest old taxi drivers accusing them of giving the lift to drug smugglers to put him up while the patrick stan wasn't. there was no reason. here is why marie health. what happened to me is happening to our country right now. just i was like a guinea pig in a lab that they will not used as a testing ground. back in 2016, the russian newspaper comments that the recited, the u. s. department of state and just saying that bout would serve his full sentence because he proved to be too stubborn and i did not agree to a plea deal. those case would be a start warning to all other russians who again,

to capture so that they would quickly agree to a plea deal before the court. was the plea deal it back to the office 30 years instead of a life sentence 30 years 30 years after what meeting want from the family. although i rejected it straight away, i was initially assigned a court appointed attorney who is well known in the circles. whenever she came to visit me, she was start to kind of shuffling her breasts, tried to establish some report, make you buy into this plea, dale fly. at some point i realized we had to replace the lawyer and were ready to announce it to the quarter. so that woman brought an interpreter and in the hold room before the proceeding, she told me my wife alice asked me not to make that statement at the judge than yet that you say, they're not just lying through that g, then no lines. they went cross for i know there is the great game there were political, gave me, and even i have respect for those agents who arrested me. we tried to tell me, makes a, it's nothing personal. it's just business. i can understand everyone. half your client type is tell what and has it's mine after client, but then you at least,

but that crossed all the lines, you know, teacher when and she told me victim, don't make any statements. they told me that they found a solution. they've reached an agreement that everything's going to be fine. like, don't find me. and then allan looks at me in court like, what's going on by you and i was like want some of them. we found out that she was just, you know, manipulating me like that. and can you trust this system when even the lawyers who represents you stopped working against joe, you said, what happened to you is what is happening till the country. now at the say, if you find the needs, right, of course look, i've been on the sanctions since 2000. i see you are a trail playoff through the yes they did it all to me. they band money transfer, shut down all my company's of the contracts, arrest my for that. i mean, i went through all of this and over the last 30 years for at least 22 years. what i was under the sanction boring, you know, so there's nothing new in what's happening to us now. but on the undeclared war that they've started on may my family, you know, they went on and on with it slowly but surely. and finally, in 2014,

they saw the spreading it to the whole country to all the russian people at this in 2014. as i greg, i pointed out the sanctions were imposed as a now russia began with special military operations. for sure. what is your take on back? like any russian to be honest, i couldn't understand why we didn't do it earlier. why in 2014, you know, take how cough people were protesting there. i saw it on c n, n and fox news. we've, we're carrying a huge russian flag chanting russia, russia, russia, don't basset desa? you know, i understand we weren't ready just yet. we weren't ready. well, i fully supportive. if there was way i would certainly and if i had the skills that i would have joined as a volunteer when there was a jury trial that you knew you were going to be convicted, didn't she? well yeah. oh, and i can't i see how it was. i could feel that he probably knew that you were going to spend many, many years behind bod escape, or there was no such feeling. you know, was her health and, you know, i thought there's no turning back. you know what i mean? the only way out to break out is to change. that was my work to do something i

could work on within myself. i mean, i couldn't, for example, and you see i could banged my head against the wall. i could have cracked my head opened or acted like a fool trying to exploit it. but i realized this is not who we are, but we have to present something completely different of what i wanted to be who i was for, who i felt i was just a veteran. what was your relationship with the other prisoners, like the coach on 1st of all, put on who serves the time there or what nations races? i don't know. okay, mr. any that is the interesting thing is that my case stood out so, so i was with the general public only for a very short period from october 2016 to january 2020. you know, i mean i basically hadn't seen a real prison before that i was either in the 10 south in the m. c. c, which is considered as they said themselves, the 80 x on steroids, 80 x, i do what fat? 80 x. dansville administrative maximum security in colorado springs. what does it look lacking? bear you fretting to sell all day? they take you out for a walk and you don't get to see other people. you never see any one. you're allowed

. a phone call home. once a matter of once a month, right, full again, noni, they lieutenant has the key to open his actual serve. you food. when they take you somewhere they don't just hancock you. i put you in leg items with a chain on you and then tied altogether. and there's a big red sign above yourself, 3 man hole. so when they take you somewhere, 3 people hold you like some rabbit dog, least jokingly say, but thanks for not using a color with a pole. you know that the tell us about the short periods when you were in contact with other n lee, how did he treat me? who wore they and my case, they were mainly african american recovery or cited in making this but black, latino in my facility and marion, they were all kinds of inmates, but mainly african american. there were a lot of latino admail to fewer but still muscle and they were very few caucasian men. i mean white americans who we even had some indigenous people there. but since the prison has a special status is may be used for sex offenders or those who transferred from other facilities because it wasn't st kate than them. yes, no,

i'm talking about those. you ratted out other inmate's law of, you know, snitching on others is a national sport in the u. s. a. phone is what everyone does. came out with a new name for their country. i told them they should change it to snatch a stab. everyone snatches on others, not only inmates, but also prison guards, and they're all snitches. all right, and are you talking about ru 35 snitch on your friend and get your central is released right? they all into which was wrong. how did a treaty at the day say your name correctly or did you get it wrong? you at least the 1st the often mispronounce it at 1st, but i carefully corrected them every time. and after a while they started saying it the right way, but boot instead of bout, was it a sign of respect? i wouldn't call it exactly a sign of respect. it's more of your habits. when someone mispronounced your name, you can't help wanting to point out their mistake and applying manner to low. don't push an offer while everyone in the facility said my name correctly. if i heard it mispronounced, i knew it was a new inmate, but you know, they kept correcting. whoever made that mistake, my mental math noticed that after some time, even the sea and,

and another media stop mispronouncing my name, the, and man gloves my soon we have the at that only see to watch the money. yes. that you undoubtedly an expert in africa, and you can see today confrontation between the police and the west of is returning to africa. yes. can you give me your assessment of the situation? it's a very interesting situation, but i think this particular topic my calls for a 2nd interview. i have lots of those remarks and observations to share. i made sure to read everything of interest that i could have delivered to the prison of some very nice people help me, but that's and sent me books for free. can you imagine? i had around 400 books in my cell at one side, while i was only allowed to have 5 over 4. i know i know many people who were standing books. ah, there's my honor started the campaign to collect political utilities took on rights and i got the books, not any from russia. you left. i had some funds from other countries to florida. one person sent me 30024000 books. all in all. can you imagine balls? now i understand what you say. you didn't have time to read them. well,

was there anything about african delicate? there was so much information about everything. what is your vision since they're really going to build a new round of confrontation between the u. s. and russian africans, both of the weight was between the u. s. and the soviet union. i don't think there will be a confrontation between russia and the u. s. there we see africa waking up today and trying to take the lead. we no longer offer the models to follow no longer tell them what they should do. we're here just to listen to them now and try to help us . it's clear that what's happening in the west is the suicide of civilization. and if we don't start with this suicide, at least outside of the west, in the territories that are not controlled by the anglo saxons for the entire planet will eventually commit suicide. you see, i gather the same is happening in all areas of life is the spread of drugs, l g, b t q plus i don't know the russian for that as he between with the legislature for me. can you imagine that 1st year school kids in the u. s. a taught that they were 72 genders. were talking about 6 to 7 year olds here. not just gaze of straight

people, but as i'm looking to genders, voice in their school curriculums to educate small kids on it. they tell that even if you're a boy, you can still be a go and just put on a dress. what can you do that in prism to transition to end of the gender? i mean yet, how about i give you an example? if there was an inmate who was serving a life sentence for a quadruple homicide, 68 years old teeth knocked out belly and he had tattoos all over the man murdered for people. can you imagine? before that he served in vietnam, but a tough guy, and then one day he shows up as a woman, he's got a heck with either his remaining hair makeup on his face and some permanent makeup lipstick abroad under his shirt for him. so i say to him that way you, jeff, what's up with that graph? and he's like, don't call me jeff, and he bought it from now want. my name is jessica all when i 1st saw him like that . i thought it was some kind of a frank ball, but that was just the beginning because one day i go to the prison shop and then the list of available items. i see that we can now buy ladies, panties, women's wrists, watches, all sorts of makeup lipstick. i shadows, can you imagine, and the gods there was this confused look on their faces of the one. now,

why does this happen? the moment you jump on the bandwagon made it made as an entire community supporting it. they start sending you money coding, you get visits. i mean, you know how it works in america, right. i put the high basel and 3 or 4 years later, you've got no family, no home, and no friends. there were 1200 people in all prison and for about a 100 of them. their life depended on whenever they could get a job that pays pay nuts is essentially slave labor. but off skippable paval, did he award that? yes, i do in the occupational health and safety officer, but i went for a different race on uba. and what did you do there? oh, it's a small department and it deals with labor safety that includes handing out various protective equipment and disinfectants, making sure everything has proper paperwork with doing all sorts of checks, fire extinguisher inspections, et cetera. i like the job because there was a separate office with all kinds of documents. so you could read a lot and figure out how everything works. this was truly a unique experience of what about the pay of what's about $40.00 a month,

but to me, the important part was that i could work several hours a day. it was a fascinating job, very educational, in a way to me. it was an opportunity to see the entire prison once a month i had to go through the whole facility including restricted areas. and despite all the fire extinguishes, for example, i liked that a lot. were there any accidents? oh, well, this wasn't your standard prisoner. hardly any fights, bigger than the ones that did happen were weight. you can check in as they call it, to get to a special housing unit in effect of you ever been in solitary confinement. thankfully, no, somehow i was always able to anticipate the situation and avoid it. although on occasion i did get punished for making my mushroom take, for example, they took away my leisure time and my phone calls for 4 to 5 days. the call that receiving a shot. but bryson yes. in fact, his whole prison terminology is fascinating to like, you know, i had a black friend who used to serve in the army one day in a conversation. he told me that the whole prison slang tradition co spect, elementary school form. he is the same turns shakedown, locked down,

short call out to cetera. i couldn't believe it at 1st. you also told me that american schools prisons and the military all have hamburgers, chicken, et cetera. senate on the same days. i'm curious, isn't it? reform believable? yes. or take the locker system as they call it, americans all have their small lockers. so you put your things inside to make sure you lock it with your tiny cake. i've never one of the charges against you that the american needs a lot to bring up even today. ah, your alleged ties with the taliban? were there any? no, no toys whatsoever. in fact, when our guys made their escape from kandahar on the growing escape, they were brilliant. those guys had been my role models. i was sidney. as for the taliban, they put a boundary on my head after that's how can any one claim that i had ties with the taliban. but that's just ridiculous. and yet, the american political to thought he about, you know, having some connection with and shipping weapons from toppling machines and who had finding terrorist consider like, were as if the usa doesn't ship weapons any way to topple regimes. they went as far

as accusing me of supplying 290 tanks down for taliban shipping. 200 tanks takes 200 cargo plays fine for afghanistan's air space and hughes. i was any proof of that, but it's clearly the case of just trumping up. some charges were in and throwing in under the carpet. the american made it no longer has any regard for its own audience. see, i grew up in the soviet union and i'm proud of it. and that's because i know that even the hard core, soviet propagandist knew that they can't go too far. they have to tell people the truth might, although they can leave some things out. do you think they went to fine? you take the full nash? imagine that's a my ward out of 35 inmates. not a single one. believes what they say on the scene and, and other channels on the subject than the crane or the presidential election of everyone knows it's open, raked in fake and buying and even in prisons of thought prisons in retirement. i'm so the main audience foreseeing and my because if you look at all the ads they run on scene and all day, they're all about diapers and catheters, but assisted living facilities, home care. and it's very clear who that what,

what he and so that i just left after you by to know trump, which one possessed. i'd say, normally done, russia has only 2 reliable friends and allies, the russian army and the russian navy for i'll accept what sir taken by general and by this policy versus com. so are they just to stay under that were, is there some real struggle hit? might as they have to do, you see, as i always said, well give you an example as the diet pepsi, carla bar, and the coke 0. i was the difference curve, but not at all to rush any move and that about sums it up. but when we need to start worry it all in russia are about who said what we pay too much attention to the american politicians call guys, we need to focus on our internal offense and we have to report on america. we need to report on its real problems such as drug abuse of this, such a huge amount of drug circulating and prisons, especially the cannabis oil like k to be smarter than mon. oh, no, well this drug is known detectable. it doesn't come up on any tests that what they do is they use something to light it up

a battery or why they inhale the smoking. it knocked them out for 50 minutes, so they just pass out or freeze or start screaming from like i've never heard before in my life screaming for help like someone is killing them. and when it stops working this shaking all over and saying, oh goddess i waffle. is like, can't do this any more than they get high again, 50 minutes later. you see, and that's in prison. so what people can do, who are free, what is a look at what's going on now? san francisco, chicago, new york city, the crime is on the rise. and when i tell people that am russia one can be safe in any part of the city or town. but unless you start to trouble yourself, they find it unbelievable. that theory, the lucian in the usa says a 40, i don't think there will be a revolution over the past 30 years. they've managed, say, well, to, you know, even this drug epidemic in the country is part of a big plan be, do you know why? because as soon as the young generation gets on drugs, they will never make a revolution. no, it won't be on their mind. while fat people don't pro to hold close that no, not that they just become zone basically. and even hollywood does the propaganda mouthpiece. every washington d. c. go on a mass produce of movies,

about zombies and mad max and so on. it is programming the future. they show you pretty pitches and he just settles down your brains. neurolinguistic programming works. when you say the american nation is perhaps even to a large extent, the victim of its own regime than any other nation, or the most worrisome thing is what's going on in the recent years. i should just look at what they've done to those who took part in the so called capital attack, wave him prisoner from 12021300 people are just like, well and, and for watch. they just the low stapleton kill anybody. and he threw a few punches before they can decide anything on fire. i don't just run that. bish kac, they been down that parliament several times over and nobody's going to prison there . but in the u. s. solely arrest ones will be charged with 15 to 20 years minimum. have you seen the lot of wound? what can i have come to you thing. look your hollywood victim does that? you know, during the hearings, the judge asked one of the agents who arrested me. what did you know about victor boots? and he said, i've watched the movie and read the book about it. and then she asked,

or do you have russian translated so no tame of bernard, we only had spanish translates and that was enough for that that level of preparation. but that's not the most amusing thing. my mother who visited me at the mc c was late to remove from the list under the pretext, but she was not my mother. but how come i all she, what we have report here that says your parents are the am of oars. come again, i'm a voice about that. oh right. that's from the lord of wall. you mean vain ticket from the movie after my prison garcia? my parents are still quoted as if from the lord of wall. that's how professional the agency carried out the investigation were. will had the evidence in you the truth. what are you planning to do next? what to have warned now, you know, for now i'm just enjoying being home with my loved ones family herself, but i'm enjoying the snow and the air of freedom with in the u. s, now life is like racism in reverse of all to be a normal white man who was love, a family in kids is not easy there. okay. man, is that all you will hear what i that's what i want to suffer. victor. i wish you to recover and your family will certainly help me with bag. what of course they

certain issues i must address it. but overall i'm extremely happy and feeling well even though i need some medical attention. i need dentist help, for example, i missing 6 teeth, the any read them out there, even if there's any, a small whole help us. we had a really good dr sometime, but she was fired quickly for treating t considered pulling them out with water. and speaking of the dry, now have you heard there was an exchange on the place that she had you heard anything about her? i heard rumors and when the news of her rest came in, so might my companion in misery clapped me on the back saying that's my ticket to freedom i. he didn't know anything about her otherwise nor. yeah, i knew she was a basketball player. i read something in the rosy sky gazette as it is for you, you have a feeling those change was about to happen. again, my life and this experience taught me not to expect anything for when you don't have expectations. every happy occurrence is a gift. when your expectations don't come true, you feel old? pardon my french. disappointed. yes, disappointed. and that's not fun. so i decided for myself to get rid of

expectations to live in the moment and talk it out and then consider this. did they treat you badly during the relent of flesh? it is an amazing story. when the u. s. marshal came, he was very considerate. true. they put me in handcuffs in a car and i had to sit with the hands behind my back. but they told me to wait a bit and promised they would re cough military by 30 minutes later, they re cuffed me so that my hands would be in the front. and we started talking. i asked them if i could go to the bathroom for sure. they told me his water if you're thirsty, like we waited for the flight from marian to dallas airport, the dc. we got on the flight. we landed at dallas o. and they put me in a room where they lock up the criminals, but they did not lock me. they just put me on a chair. and the agent sat down to study readings because he didn't address me for my 1st name, victor, a to, for my release, they did not give me my belongings, same as with the irish handkerchief, although the marshal told me to bring everything along with all the st. the prison official got a different order, so i left everything behind including the photo history and we're now trying to get my things from them. but i had some newspapers with me got us and my favorite

magazine redated, we will home bertha. i read it clear at the capital, it helps me spend those 3 hours in the comp way for them. they said they were very polite. what is the walk of the moreover, when we got to the gulf stream plane and they told me everything, the asian uncover me, the agent was sitting close and that sent us back to fit a show that he walking really close to britain greiner did you exchange a few words with her, i wish her luck and she even extended a hand to me despite everything our tradition is to wish everybody good luck and happiness. it series bond, sorry. did she say anything about? yes, i could feel her positive attitude with trinity. he kept putins portraits under sal . absolutely. it was there all the time. why, why not? i'm proud that on a russian citizen and putin as our president for and when they challenge me, citing some stuff like that alleged palace that novelty showed in his video, which i just told those people that you simply do not know who put in is will one my personal trust when his process in 2001 began to materialize, step by step. that's true for every statement he's made in history,

is our best guide. come, we'll get the credit for your relief as well. but i guess it's every one dairy sitting services, all of russia lows, who have supported me. those who love me, though, she sent me letters. i'd received so many letters from across the country. these were letters from complete strangers or from my old classmates, even from germany. they charged me to hang on and stay strong, homer, they sent me postcards somewhere, complete strangers. often i got letters from ukraine whenever i had a chance to reply. i did. in any case, i would like to thank those who sent me letters. i got so many letters from russians who live in the u. s. for my bible from canada, bought books for me and offered to any other assistance. i am proud that i am russia was deep down in my heart. i know we will prevail and everything will be 5. we have been waiting for ye for so long. i would like to thank our rody and so i am sure there will be many more interviews about politics. like i said, most importantly, like we're still about family to get back to normal. i am positive, there was so much energy,

but they won't take long. thank you. oh, [000:00:00;00] a does these are the fee, i don't to sweden, steve, or hold on a mission, fund out washington for that. i've shown on house police, be fun, claudia,
