he is a, to this point devastation, not so much of ukraine. i. this is largely at the behest of the united states. because when an agreement between russia and ukraine was tempted to believe reached in ankara in march 2022, based on one principle that will end this war, ukraine's neutrality. the us swooped in boys, johnson swooped it and said, don't take it your own way. well, this was a, a terrible, terrible advice, but a piece of advice, but it was also a dreadful, awful miscalculate. i'm sorry to address this very breeding 600000 killed hundreds of thousands killed because of this several 100000 more debts in ukraine of ukrainians because of that decision without question. of course, it's a auto tragedy. ukraine is often losing more than a 1000 people to get

a wounded every day right now on the battlefield. i rushes military superiority in the air and artillery is very clear. it's, it's the us that keeps pushing them to, to fight to the last few crania knows that a dreadful ironic, good phrase. so puts it, but there's accuracy to it. it's the us now take arms, can't fight, and keep fighting, keep dying the all the us as we expanded this add to russians functions targeting entities in china. so i've got the u. a. e and ticket that washington is fist helping moscow's war efforts. but the moves provoked and angry response from the g. it may fall from us, has been pouring weapons and ammunition into ukraine. well, also shifting the blame for undermining peace and dragging other countries into the crisis. it has even been using the crisis as an opportunity to impose sanctions and

suppress other countries that is extremely scheming, hypocritical, and hedge a monic. the us is abusing it's unilateral sanctions around the world, causing endless harm. seriously, undermining the sovereignty and security of other countries causing humanitarian tragedies and undermining the stability of production and supply chains. a washington state and wrapping up its restrictions against moscow over the past 2 years. the us insist if measures are alternately designed to weaken roches mandatory one is trying to make it difficult or impossible for russia to get the military equipment or materials it needs to build its own military supplies. we want to make that as difficult as possible. and 2nd, we want to try to reduce forces riffing, new political analyst,

and co founder of the dental institute in indonesia, font them assembling. it doesn't see sense in the sanctions package. us, as i said, we already already mentioned that they are putting $300.00 individuals problems over the country is into there's a sort of backlist last i think it is a 5 point less i guess they will just find another guy to do their intended business in himself, it fading those sanctions, if uh, uh, do you guys have misplaced and especially the, from the advisory themself, wants to expand a sanction packaged to china and then trying to a little bit hurting the chinese economy. because as we all know, and china recently adjusting their economy uh, activities by driving up more into the domestic consumption rather than export.

we've don't actually into that, you know, a deal. but if you've got to go to the news, right. and then uh, yeah, again, it is really pipe less if the binding of the administration which they already know they, they only have like a couple of minds to, to rule out, to do a half a whitening of sanctions pertaining to why you can't guess all the details of all the stories were following on r t dot com. i'll be right back with more rob bates at the top of the i'll see you again the, [000:00:00;00]

the for more than 200 years before moscow was the seat of power. saint petersburg was larisse plugged into the capital of the russian empire, and it was here that the roman, our family established a tradition of luxury high end items like imperial porcelain and sabri. say the we are in the show of all of tell us one of the most sophisticated architectural monuments of st. petersburg. it has witnessed numerous milestone events and hosted countless historic personalities within its walls. now it is home to the largest private collection of the fabricate east directs in the world.

the thank you for taking the time to meet us here. it's beautiful, beautiful setting. so february, he actually was known for making jewelry and exclusive interior items, but he really became famous because of these imperial eggs. can you tell me how that all got started this on the traditionally easter was the main religious holiday and easter eggs were a traditional guess one. it was karl cyber j. however, who was the 1st to offer a precious jewelry egg as an easter surprise you had like the idea was so novel and became so popular that many aristocrats snatched them up and people began to buy their easters. surprise, gifts from fibers, j. each egg is its own unique creation of so can you talk to me a little bit about the process of how they were created uh was covers a given free reign to do anything that he wants it or whether basic guidelines or

rules. but he had to follow that it took about a year to create one ag, sometimes up to 3 years, with average a had free reign to pursue his creativity. so the process would begin at the round table and fibers shay's office where artists and designers would discuss their ideas for a new eastern masterpiece. goldsmith, silver smith, gemstone cutters, and 9 molars joined the discussions later here we know for a fact that it was teamwork, and each east or creation was completed under the supervision of one master jeweler who was responsible for every step of the process. however, carl fabricate remained the chief jeweler. he always had the last word. yes, over. mm hm. now, many people think of chevrolet as the man who did all of the work, but he was more of a business man like tiffany in the united states. he brought a lot of artists under one roof. why do we know the name fibers a but we do not know any of the individual craftsman. so it has only interview responding to a journalist to compare,

attempted tiffany and car to carl savage. i said, they're only salesman, not artists and jewelers. it's true that calls, i appreciate, was a gifted entrepreneur and capable manager. but at the same time, she was no less talented as an artist, jeweler and even psychologists where she died. collection of personal traits helped him gather a team of brilliant craftsmen at the time, such as eric colon, me fail, bear him, henry, equipped, strum, etc. we see there hallmarks on fibers, a jewelry next to the company's own martin. so we know about those masters. we are well aware of the famous artist and your appeal item when she came up with a design known as the snowflake theme and is credited with the designing the winter . and the mosaic eggs spectrum is. we also know the names of many, many tr painters such as was cds. we ask for your hon. then with us. how many crossman would it take to work on one individual leg, which i can't tell you the exact number of craftsmen who worked on each individual

easter eggs? what we do know that it was a team effort involved in dozens of people, starting from designers and artist, down to 9 molars, goldsmiths and silver smith. i'm as well because he'll be in a good deal. mm hm. now we had an egg is maybe the most modest, the most simple of the eggs. it was the one that started everything. can you telling me the story about the specific i had a good inspired by similar jewelry masterpiece, the so called wilhelmina ag, which was created in the early 17 hundreds and friends of sunset. it belonged to the parents of empress. maria showed that i was not king christian, the 9th of denmark, and queen louise louisa. when ember alexander the 3rd ordered the hen egg from fibers. a. she was trying to give the empress something that would remind her of her home country, which she missed. a lot. fibers, jay didn't make an exact replica, of course, he created his own elegant variation on the theme of an easter surprise. gardner

was now issued after that, increasingly became more coordinate, more fantastic. how did it become a tradition of just a simple egg into a jewel encrusted fantasy worlds each and of themselves. empress, maria showed that i've not loved to the hen eggs so much that a tradition of annual easter surprises from fibers j emerged in $1885.00 would make . it's true that over time the eggs became more sophisticated and more ornate. however, you can't say that fibers, a eggs are diamond encrusted. the amount of gemstones or precious materials used for an easter egg, didn't matter to fibers. a cause main objective was always to showcase the skills of his jewelers, an artist. so now what's the most expensive exit you have in your collection here? i mean, they're all priceless objects of russian cultural heritage. it's impossible to

single out any one piece. now, officially, there were 50, as you were telling me earlier of these eggs. so some of them have been lost. is there any chance of them being recovered? is there any hope that they will some day be found? yes, researchers are still hopeful that one day they'll be able to recover those last easter creations. it has become a lifelong endeavor for some of them. now. if they are ever found, we know that the fabric a logo is the 2 headed eagles, much like russia. that is used for authenticity but in a day and age where anything can be fabricated or faked. how can we know that a fabricate egg is really of average the eggs? yes, the 2 headed eagle is a hallmark that you can see on fibers a pieces. however, it was used by all suppliers of the imperial court and fibers, a was one of them from 1885 to glow. apart from the 2 headed eagle establish

a creation should also feature the seal of the company as well. as other hallmarks, such as the material used, the year of manufacture and even the place where the jewelry piece was crafted and you live at different times. there were different rules for jewelry marketing games . they evolved over time sheets. today experts can distinguish between fix and originals by looking for a specific set of hallmarks. experts also use archives and documents in their work . so we know that there are 10 eggs in moscow. they're 9 xx here, one of the hermitage, um, and some private collections as well. is there any hope that you have to bring them all into one place under one roof in the same collection, collect the fabricated museum collection is self sufficient. so the link of times foundation, which is in charge of the museum, does not pursue the objective to scanned,

is collection of easter eggs right now. the when porcelain 1st arrived in europe, some china people desperately trying to work out how it was so durable. they came up with all sorts of concoctions like mixing egg shells which crushed the barnacles and burying it under ground for almost a century. the we're at the legendary imperial porcelain factories, which is going to share some of its centuries own secrets with us. the cement, thank you for taking the time for showing us what you do here is believed that fine bone china was actually invented here,

specifically at this place. what makes your recipe so special? a sick and a secret of bone china is the use of cattle, bone powder as one of the ingredients. how many steps does it take to like make this cup right here? how many steps in the process does it take? no voice mail to 80. really, can you talk to me about some of the steps? no, we're going to try 1st. we make a model which has done used to create a jip, some old. we poor force went into the mold and let it sit for the for the right city. while states that us could have done, we open it this is a part of the complete piece of what makes our work so complex is that we make each part separately. the handle here is cast separately and glued onto the piece later to it. it is comprised of 2 parts. what's the after that the piece has left to dry

up. this is followed by the 1st firing, glazing, the 2nd firing, and transportation for you, which is another stage of the process. then there's different types of decorating and finally polishing. so many different steps in the entire process, many different stages. so basically it's also intricately connected. i know that it has to be fired at a high temperature. why do we need such high temperatures for this to come out this way? but he was this high temperature is crucial for china, for every additional piece that's needed can only be fixed and placed by firing stores, and each firing serves the distinct purpose. i go over that this is a dry piece. gotcha. it must be done during the 1st firing before it can be glazed, and that's what over them. that's the are we with temperature at the stage is about $900.00 degrees. it makes the piece harder and opens up its pores vision of life, which makes it possible to apply glaze or do under glaze painting. you would. there are many nuances here. a little bit of firing,

mixed china wider and stronger. so it is literally born in the coma rights of speech. you mm hm. so i know that that is fine. porcelain has to be white. it has actually has to be a little bit translucent. how do you get that quality in your china, where it's of us now, and you can achieve that by adding more colon and by using a specific firing technique, you over to them. what these are the 2 components. if you have the right colon content and the right firing process, you're trying to where will be white and translucent. you can see it here if you hold it against a light. interesting difference there. now i also hear that um, real porcelain sings. can you tell me what that means uh is just let me show you guys the rest for each piece has its own tone and shirts, and then it's like the porcelain things definitely has that unique sound. i've also

heard that this type of porcelain is really the most eco friendly. is that true? that yes, that's true. i'll explain why. said the 5th, it's because we use natural components, an extreme heat coaching, but i thought no, everything is very eco friendly, especially if you use under glaze pay because it just because you. mm hm. so natural elements that are in here, what kind of illness do you have or the mixer includes 40 ingredients, i can't list them all, but they include colon silica, magna side, and others. there are many of them and each should be used in the right amount. like i'm just a little bit of bone in there as well. 40 percent of the phone, but i'm sure once something has been poured taken from the moles and then it's fired. it's called a biscuit. why is it called a biscuit? what exactly is that? oh, the biscuit piece is a finished product to some of it's just that it's matted and not glazed with who would like this bird, for example, which what we typically use this finished for sculptures. we store this says here

you can clearly see each other and every detail customer. it's like marble compared with this piece. this one is glazed at the google and this one is a biscuit piece. so there are many legends that surround porcelain, for example, it's believed that if you put poison into a porcelain a cup that it will actually break and it won't hold the poison. um, is this true and did you have any special love legends or stories about porcelain that are your favorites? oh, if it's true, if you pour poison in the china, the piece will change color is mean. so it's best to use it for coffee and tea. it will taste better and the, the,

the, if we get right to it, i have to ask you have this white piece of porcelain in front of you. it's a blanket kansas. are you allowed to just do whatever you want as an artist, or is there a set form that you have to follow or do you know in advance what you're going to paint by part of it depends. porcelain is a unique magical material. there's a reason people coolant white gold, it really looks great when it's white, and that's also when its shape has the most striking effect to base the whiteness and the outline of the piece make the statement. the however, it also works great with different painting techniques. sometimes you're given a specific task, that's when your job is to help expand the product range and you need to follow the

specific construction sent by the marketing team. they're also pieces which you decorate according to your own preferences and inspiration. ssl is nothing at all, but the list exhibition for instance, took me a long time to put together so that all of planning went into it and my designs and much as i was trying to imagine the collection as a whole, would you send that to really it's hard to have a marketing plan for such freeform whole, so not the present. it is unlikely that someone would want to order something like that to the easy it is because well, now i know that cobalt net is a very popular pattern. why is it so popular? because it just doesn't seem to decrease and it's a popularity cool. but the way she lost the call, with net design replicates to move types of and press select the best best rule service. it was called substitute in the the and present zone because it was made specially for her. it was the 1st imperial sub is produced by us during the lifetime of the founder of the manufactory and pressed elizabeth equal with the original design was

a cold mash with pink flowers at the intersections villa thought, hey, we use cobalt and that's the 2nd reason. this cold is a tradition of the recognized material for the imperial postal in manufacturing with them, the blue and gold of the signature colors of st. peter's back and all symbols tie it to the water that now porcelain is it actually a good medium for you as an artist? is it inspire creativity? is nice. you know, i've worked for the imperial poster then manufactory for a long time, and porcelain has never been an easy material for media the but it's become my own the media. i even have a free bus poem where i write that i work with postman and postman works with me. we have a mutual in breaching relationship, is become the only constant in my a to stick career. and look, i'm grateful for the limit this opportunity speaking give me as an artist, is terminated for those new. com. mm hm. now i understand that you have master classes here. do you mind if i give it a try? the way to perhaps give it

a try for the so as i understand it, and as i'm getting the feel of this, it's very difficult to work with. and i've heard that working with porcelain requires a certain skill set. why is it so difficult to work with floors and what makes it difficult is that you need a certain level of precision and feel for the texture of the page on the one hand postal in

a smooth and it allows for corrections. you can wipe something off as we did just then make you correction uninstalled again. but that's talking about a police declaration which we had doing right now. when you do on degrees painting that you need to have extra road. are you skills? because when porcelain does not have a layer of liaison, is very porous and absorbs paint immediately. what do you need to be in accomplish smallest, or in order to apply paint with precision, with the right sickness at exactly the right spot? according to the design i'm making looks nice as well. you do need a lot of experience to work with pool. so then i have to ask kind of an esoteric question. um, artificial intelligence computers. they're taking all of the attention from artist these days. do you see in the future maybe artificial intelligence taking over your work as an artist here? yeah. hey, that's not going to happen. this handy. charleston. oh that a no. it just feels when working with full. so then all irreplaceable. that's what

i believe and what you do here, it's a part of history. it's a part of the well, it's part of russian culture. are you part of what you do? does it bring your joy? they've does, of course, otherwise i wouldn't have worked for the imperial porcelain manufactory for so long when i bring guess to him you say, which is now we bronchial the hand to touch me. see, it's always a breathtaking experience for me because i know that i'll post and then has captured the whole of portion history sort of being a part of this history and culture is a great responsibility. but it's also something to be proud of and got to be it's thank you for taking the time to show me how to do this. and it's been a fascinating day. thank you very much. i see below thank you for your interest and willingness to give it closer to making

a try or the i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except we're so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to make a trust rather than to the area. i mean with the artificial intelligence, we have somebody in the payment, the robot must protect this phone. existence was on

the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as 1st? can you see through their illusion going underground, can the water was 3. i mean, we thought on, i mean i was trying to meet you, which i your ship was traveling since the mid august, a hair dresser, a bus driver, a sales person. anyone could become

a victim. that sail private negotiators faster pen looking for the best assist you remove them and go to see we started this summer. ok no no no. ready yes, that's the reason why you'll be up by the name on that on those over those. i mean, it is only the feasible missing. i'm from the yes to the studies boys took over the serious me he does. he has a little that they say, which was in the luminous equipment, the known in vietnam, american war, the vietnam war, lost it for almost 2 decades and dragged in numerous countries.

not any time now. and then you didn't jumps with now, why did all i'm empty? hundreds of thousands of american troops was sent to the country to back the south vietnamese on me and all of that. not but the american soldiers. miller did resist as most solicitation to down entire villages and spread dangerous chemicals. and even lee by all right, did the americans ever fully acknowledge what they did on the vietnamese veterans ready to forgive? yes, yes. yes. and that's a ways to put yeah,

one year into the to attempt to become active to fix that amount. apache the show and then it will be a job to last negotiate and all of it is uh, international stuff is the template to separate the setup button and not to mention it. i thought someone did you lose. it asked me if i said the media and let it be focused on the 2 reasons. can you say with the city the new country company? me said it was working monday morning to work it on stimulus and just get a little less money before the sales dealer. sure, sure. william farmer shots, my goodness we have called gosh, door to door or decision to my name. and what was that man? was elizabeth nikki lo funds, i put in the best one today and but you know, so that's what it is that you want to set. i'm sure those are pretty short journals

on patient data for she's getting those on the best. do what i mean. there's a, there's a problem chef. the breaking news at best time. we didn't says piece is possible, leave your grand leaves for new russia regions, rules out joining later and the west lips all assumptions on moscow. 3 and 3 of them a bit later today, we're making another concrete really piece proposal, if and given in the wisdom capitals, they also refuse it as before. and in the end, it is their business, their political and moral responsibility for the continuation of, let's say, if it wants to negotiate a peaceful solution to the columns fixed in ukraine, the way to get there is to provide mentor support to ukraine. meanwhile, in the west, the need to achieve stresses,

the only way to stop the war is pumping key with ever more weapons for us is
