. one of the things he's most known for is cheats. so today, hoping that we can see some change production and get to meet some animals on his farm the tobacco it's good to meet another american to various idea who is come. yeah and the another yang. a story real to go. all right, awesome. it's hard to believe now the j was a famous shift to even to, to the rolling stones. he used to run several restaurants and moscow. he was also a dear double biker and radio host, but he gave it all up sort of submarine, which he had more in france and bought land in the countryside. then he built a house and moved here. go for the city limits good a. the 2 calves, one boil in 3 years will have lead to milk. i agreed and there we go. 3 years later in the real upstarts. and what are you going to do? which are related to mil?

that's how j starting making cheese. and would you believe it? he became one of the most famous keys makers in russia. although when he 1st came here, you couldn't imagine anything of the sort. i got here 93 things, shooting at the white house and it was there was little money for us was in the hospitals following the board and everything was really bad. you mean i couldn't imagine that. another country surviving. i think americans wouldn't die hungry. i didn't leave here right away. i came for 10 days and 20 days and 40 days and was 6, was senior, go going more like home. i would start to go to other countries and i just want to get back home to russian. so it's home. i say and people, hey, if you could leave a rush, you can leave it anywhere in the world. it's not easy here. i mean, of course it's hard and some of the language, some of the alphabet of culture,

several shake hands under a doorway. the boxes solves on the table. man is thousands of i don't believe in the life of the divine judge wouldn't because it's like a habit. i asked jay if he's afraid to stay in russia after all, our countries have a very troubled relationship. the us embassy regularly urges people to leave, but this is what happened before when birth or the 15th june was probably reasonable garcey. there was not k c a to a communist of info draining the americans on the tv. they were the ones writing the programs right. better that there was a lot of people say to anybody you a long here was economy. anybody out of different idea was economy, news like this, river stuff. the russians are guilty. they made a trump for president or hillary clinton family. they linked or e mails installed or watches for how many elections have we got in june,

right. how many sessions ations of elected officials have we actually done 3 grade war against the paper because they weren't lynch regular. just think that the russians available right when really rich and really like the biggest brands. i don't understand that at all. jay's business is going well and things have been going particularly well since a europe imposed sanctions banning in ports of cheese into rush and j isn't suffering from the new sanctions either or so it's all changes as possible. i've seen where seem to fax you weight, tabasco sauce made in the us. the sanctions are failed. ok. what's the drum? yeah. well i think the same colors. same ice cream. you know,

the oil you made in the usa, even j will confirm sanctions and russia have failed. he ordered this on as on, which is why i'm always ordering things. a j had to take his car to the garage today for an oil change, and i've decided to go with them. i want us to car services like in the russian hinterland, the release of russian states never as one of the most sense community. not getting hold of all sun set up the speed. the one else calls question about this. even though we will fan in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on rochester de s r t sports net keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube.

the question, did you see stephen twist, which is the, in the 2nd half of the 1940, the powerful european armies were losing their color one of the 1st to start collaborating. what's the dutch empire? on august 17, 1945. the declaration of independence of indonesia, a former judge, colony was proclaimed the liberation movement 1st led by the national hero of the indonesian people to carnis. however, amsterdam had his own plan,

which was to defeat the revolution. moreover, they were supported by great britain. the colonial troops setup control over the main cities in the country, but the countryside remained in the hands of the rebels. and the resistance continued growing in 1946, the british last indonesia. whereas the dutch did not want to lose power and switch to the tactics of total terror. in december 1947, the royal troops committed the massacre of the inhabitants in the village of robert got a 431 civilians were killed. all in all the lives of 100000 indian agents were on the conscience of the dutch colonialists and their allies, mass executions, and regular bombing did not help the netherlands. their troops got blocked in the cities. the world community demanded to put an end to violence, and the empire started negotiations. in 1949, the head round table conference was held in the kingdom of the netherlands was forced to recognize the independence of indonesia. a sovereign muslim state

appeared on the world map and became one of the most powerful countries in the islamic world. the. oh, i sort of get sold, sold on the road. salt milk. uh yeah. so the milk now guys really? me right of here. yeah. the guys have to push, push. no, that should list. um you got it. you got it. all right, let's see if we can push the james car. well, track it for sure to stop. by. it looks like we're good to look at that. a look at this beautiful village too. wow.

what's the key up? the hill is amazing place here. this is a beautiful village. by the way. a lot of people in america think these villages are just like falling apart. so a lot of your neighbors coming. they buy choose from, you still have to come by chains or master class. they learn how to make g o, they come and learn how to make the james dropping his car off for an oil change. this is a russian brides. look at that and really look too much different than an american garage. they find out the middle of the country. so he'll bring home 3 years. we're really not. sure. ok. is there any upgrades or warning rooms for you? that's it. so what do you pay for an oil change today? and like 10 dollars, 10 dollars, 10 dollars. oh, maybe 5 dollars,

5 dollars. is it a good? let's go. the time is coming to try jay's cheese. he has a small shop and many kinds of different cheese j says there are 50 varieties in total, so it's just part of the natural process every day. turn it over the rubber down or talk to good morning you next week. this is romano like was really good. this is this is called to tell you and guard so dried tomatoes. bell peppers, the metal metal. coffee with rush. shockley. yes. i'm a sick man, but you know, don't hold it against the i'm heading to the northern capital of st. petersburg and american lives there whom the f. b. i

has been hunting for 18 years. he's on interpose a red list. they tried to extradite him to the united states from different countries, 4 times now lives in russia. i've been following his story for a while, and i can finally, personally ask why the f b i as after him. i'm in st. petersburg, russia right now. my 1st time and it's probably the coldest day since i've arrived in russia. i am feeling it to my bones right now. the pills are due to it's a how you doing for more years old or was it frozen as well? you can feel anything. oh no you came. i think you brought this weather with you man. yeah, i'm not good. it is so i don't know. perfect. so tell me a little bit about yourself like, ah, well what, what made you decide to come to russia?

i received the asylum and so far as i know, and the next man after is known to get it. and that's american, us embassies. and for countries that come after me is wild. and so we have a couple of theories, the one that most people come to me 1st like, oh, there's just a bunch of bureaucratic mistakes, but there's no way they ran at our house in 2002 in cyprus. they have a huge fall on my wife. uh, they interrogated me, they visited me and bought here in prison. personally the i came, they tried to make deals. and also whenever, from microsoft, i covered the middle east and africa and i had several intelligence agency trying to recruit me to work for them. and when i kept saying no, they wanted to make an offer. i couldn't refuse and have a history that to and is approvable, know because when they try and recruiters not like they leave behind a business card and say, hey, you know, i'm from the intelligence agency, but very clearly there are 3 recruitment of drums. why is it that the f b i is looking for you on the website? they say that i legally retain my son, which is not because i had custody of my son anyways. here lived in europe the and

you can prove this. yeah. you all there and then they said they told the newspaper, the indictment, they said that i physically kidnapped him with the problem was, i was in the united states and neither was he the just 2 months prior. the same judge who set this whole thing up, put him on a plane using police to return to me because he was visiting his mother for the summer in the us and she didn't want to return them. and the judge said, nope, he said the police take them, why put them on a plane? and then he the same judge, basically the foundation for get up and that whole thing's been dismissed, but the feds weren't dismissed there in the and he's, he's your strongest witness. in this case, and he is, he's 27 now. yeah. he's done news interviews on american television saying that he was never kidnapped and as all the fires because when the guy does the sort of things, the only thing is ever fixed is massive publicity. i work the social media sometimes thing again. so you're gonna have to do is you're literally thinking, yeah, i'm a 49 year old dog man, but that's our social media works. right?

yeah, i have you know, 150 to these by now and that's how it works. i had to order 2 police officers to physically movies my mother and put me on a plane back to my dad hollis. and i'm not this is actual insanity. chad son now lives in the caribbean and he's still on the missing childrens list. and chat is still on the wanted list. were you ever contracted by the government? no, never. do you think maybe and this is just me being curious. do you think that perhaps uh, something that you may have worked on for one of these companies might be a reason for any of this. i, i never worked on anything that was secretive or anything sort of that i have built software that's been in the space station is used by the government. right. but it, it's communication software. when i moved to russia in early 2001, i married into a family and lived with a family who worked in

a military aviation factory. and they didn't like suite the forest or the thing. and it's not like they could possibly get access to military technology. they were engineers, they had a good range. so these were close family members, and we lived in the same house phone for many years. and they had basically, i guess, wouldn't america be called top secretary ok. and it became pretty evident that somebody in the american halogens agency had some kind of white dream that thought i could somehow blackmail my family and get me information. okay. it was never going to happen. we never discuss this stuff. my family would never give me information about that. i would never ask rush, i may have and i don't have to if this, but maybe they offer me the asylum because i believe russian as far about more case my case than i do. right. and maybe it was a thank you for you know, hey, you had the chance to turn on us and you didn't, i don't know. do you feel safe, ever returning to the united states of america? no. and you feel safe here so absolutely. it is extremely search here for americans asked me all the time if that covers the choice to be safe and americans to be more

safe in the cities here than they are at home. i say this a lot of people like back home i had a concealed weapons permit. i had to carry, hang on with me everywhere i went. and since i've been here, people ask you, what about your gun rights now? what's the need for it? you don't need a gun. there is an american to say that that's really amazing. the driver expected . i have a friend from new york and he lives here. and he says he got marked on average 3 times a year in new york. it's just, it's really crazy and i filled the metro's here and people like where the people who yeah, where's the feet? yes. a drug. i see the videos that all the time and they always ask the same thing . like me, chat has passed a lot of strange questions on tick tock. recently he was asked if it's true that russia had run out of tomato. the american media often writes nonsense stories about russian and people believe them. so we decided to drive to the market and see for our center supposed month. oh wow. look at this place.

funny. on the fish a pill next to the fisher and 5. yeah. yeah, i think i used to be really nice people. yeah. yeah, yeah. i've come to spy on your friends without everybody as a they have to man is here or not. they said russian. okay, just a minute and let's take a look. i think there's okay, so tell me does that look like it's a main audio? the tomato, i like, yeah, tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, all the way down to me is tomatoes, tomatoes. that all the way down command estimate estimate is. yeah. so it's all, 1st of all, look at these because i've seen this based on uh on already was a good look chose look right over
