eliminated 34 forest fires, more than a hundred continue to extinguish the specialists of the aviation protection, so in yakutia there are more than fifty natural fires, and in the komi republic the situation is complicated, hot. weather and squally wind, three dozen forest fires were recorded there and an area of more than 3,000 hectares. the results of the trilateral meeting in tehran from the syrian problem to the conflicts in ukraine turkey volunteered to be a mediator in resolving major world issues, as well as an agreement on the distribution of grain flows in the avoidance of world famine and the resignation of the italian government was a feature of european politics, then and now all the details are in the international review. hello, the international review is on air in the studio of fyodor lukyanov today in the program of the international review the events of the week of chronicles facts comments the fate of ukrainian grain
10:01 am
worries everyone, will the world have enough food materials of our program? turkey's role in world politics trilateral meeting in tehran stories from iran european political extremes memory and modernity reporting from italy this week the focus was on tehran on a visit to the iranian president the head of russia came to turkey held bilateral meetings and talked about the stanin troika assyrian settlement southern direction for russia key first, there is a lot of important going on near and middle east central south asia is a space of change, contrary to stereotypes rooted in consciousness, not only for the worse. secondly, this is a set of countries pursuing a fairly independent course, it does not necessarily in harmony with the russian, but dictated by their own understandable interests. and it's always
10:02 am
easier, after all. thirdly. russia for a decade has strengthened its position in this part of the world by a combination of diplomacy and power potential. well, let's face it, thanks to the anti-american sentiment. they are widespread there, and the ruling elite, catching world changes, are now inclined to listen to the mass ones. the meeting between vladimir putin and recep tayyip erdogan did not bring a sensation, but confirmed the two countries are capable of interacting in a businesslike, despite the obvious contradictions, turkey is noticeable on the world stage erdogan, that those gross-laughing turkish subjects hold a session of simultaneous play on many boards from the caucasus and cancer to greece, ukraine, from nato to libya and so on is impressive. well, is it stable how society perceives this. we asked the turkish commentator khakan, aksai , who is deeply immersed in the politics of his country turkey, of course, many people like it, because
10:03 am
we, too, like many former empires, if you have complexes, after all, a big state should play a certain unique role in the world. and so erdogan began more and more about this. yad after the eleventh year, e.g. after the events of the beginning of events in syria in other and arab countries, but after some time in society. this one received support, but after some time there was a certain amount of support in the society, probably still disappointment, so that there are no big results, but from time to time it is discussed by a part of the society, then all, uh, divided almost in half, the frequency approves part is not at the beginning em events in ukraine after 24 february. uh, again there was such activity, and at
10:04 am
least on some issues. this added erdogan and his party three to four percent. ah, support and more. but now it seems to have disappeared now, as if the society does not pay much attention to it now. in fact, the economic crisis is discussed most of all in turkey, therefore, compared to what it was before 5 years ago 10 years ago, society now pays much less attention to this international activity of the authorities and erdogan. i would say, does this mean that erdogan uses foreign policy activity to solve domestic problems. i would even say, more precisely for the victory in the next elections, because there are, roughly speaking, two factors, firstly, uh, the opposition has not been very
10:05 am
active for the last three or four years. uh rdukan. in power for 20 years. and now, starting from the 19th year, the picture is changing. as you know, in the nineteenth year, in the spring of the opposition, uh, won almost all the major big cities in the local elections of istanbul there, the largest city is ankara - the capital, antalya adana so further and so on. after that, the opposition is largely already. uh, as if the political initiative takes its hands. erdogan doesn’t like this, the second and, apparently, now a much more important factor is turkey’s economic crisis a few years ago turkey was 17th, the economy of the world is now 21st, and inflation is everywhere in the world. they say it's a big problem in the west. there, when 6-7 there are nine
10:06 am
ten percent. this is generally horror for them, but in turkey, according to official data, 78%, and according to some unofficial ones. yes, maybe even two. times more, that is the situation with infiltration. we have, uh, one of the worst in the world and erdogan and his team are doing. some experiments fail. they don't refuse me, so, uh, internal problems are big enough for erdogan. this is almost unsolvable, therefore, foreign policy activity for him for the president of turkey is now much more important whether this situation will save erdogan, i don’t know, but more and more of all of them, at least in recent months, it is in this, plans and ukraine and relations with west with middle east etc elections are about a year away. what is the approximate alignment of forces for today, and polls. uh, the last
10:07 am
year, let's say a year, there are a lot of questions for half a year, and they show not the best conditions, not the best result for erdogan and his party and his allies according to various polls. uh, they get somewhere. 30 to 40-45% when? uh, the united opposition, the so-called national e alliance , again, according to various sources, from 35 to 50 to 45-50. uh, points somewhere uh, that is, they tend to be ahead of the last time. uh, three four seven percent. they have a difference, between these unions the opposition wins, but there is a very important point in these matters are very often
10:08 am
ignored. for some reason, the situation with the kurds. we kurds have a tower of strength. the kursk party gets, uh, about 10-12 percent, and what their position will be in the elections, it’s not hard to guess, because erdogan, who was friends with the kurds 7 8 9 years ago. eh, the last years of the year are getting worse both inside turkey and abroad. as you know, and now the leaders. uh, many leaders many steps kursk cities and so on and the kurdish party. they are in prison and it is not difficult to guess that they, in their majority, will also vote against erdogan and his party. so it is possible, in this way, the gap will be at least 15%. uh, but maybe, and of course, early elections. well, someone talks about sleeping or there at the beginning of the year in the spring, but the fact is that this is also
10:09 am
a difficult question for erdogan, because the economic crisis does not get better over time, but vice versa, so i don’t know how erdogan will choose for uh, some parts of the opposition erdogan will try somehow. no, elections, or come up with some important international conflict. maybe even create, uh, a small, controlling war. but this too. it seems unlikely to me, because society is no longer very responsive to various operations in syria, iraq, and so on. and as for, uh, let's say a small controlled war is possible from greece. this is unlikely to be allowed, uh. the united states. if a change of power is allowed, is it possible to assume a future foreign policy direction? what will be and international? in the machine of this government, the current
10:10 am
position is difficult to guess, because the opposition parties are more preoccupied with internal problems of economic policy and criticize economic situations and political moments, but they very rarely announce external moments, but still, they, too, will probably already be preparing for international relations. how turkey's partners , including russia, will perceive this status, the change in the regime of change of power in turkey is also another matter. it seems to me that many, including russia is not at all ready for this. individuals play an important role, but there is also a public mood. what they are now in relation to russia in general, russian turkish relations are indeed very unique phenomena. if e very briefly about the story to tell, then i remember very well. uh, the very first visit. e putin in turkey at the end of the
10:11 am
fourth year this was talked about a lot, so, starting from this moment from the end of the fourth year to 11, apparently, there were, almost surprisingly good relations between russia and turkey, not only among the leaders, of course, their contribution was very large, but the society also welcomed this. well, after the beginning of the events in syria, uh, relations began to deteriorate a little, especially after russia, uh, participated in the war in syria from the end of september of the fifteenth year. as you remember, uh, some time later november 15, 15, uh november 24, uh, 15 . uh, turkish forces armed forces shot down uh, russian aircraft after that was wow but still, the last six years are unique times
10:12 am
there are a lot of contradictions, a lot of criticism both in seven and among the politicians of russia, and yet russia remains in many ways different from turkey and society is also in many ways, as it were, with an understanding of how it relates to this, and in turkey, england, the american mood is enough stronger and a little bit depending on them. from this. uh, very often a positive assessment, it turns out russia now. true, there are different opinions, after uh, twenty uh, the twenty-fourth of february, but compared to the west. i wouldn't say there is a heightened perception of these events, the turks are more relaxed about russia and strong changes in this regard after the start of, uh, events in ukraine i don’t see thanks to our interlocutor from that part of
10:13 am
turkish society that hopes for political changes, but president erdogan is not only a skillful player . he is also extremely reckless; it is difficult to imagine that he will lose and just put up with it. i wonder what will happen. among other things , putin erdogan spoke about the mechanisms for the export of black sea grain in the world, a food crisis has been declared, it is believed that the reason there is no doubt about the fighting in ukraine, and ukraine and russia are major exporters, but for this reason now they are pushing everything, anything, as always, to whom is the war? and to whom the market situation, be that as it may , there are agreements under the auspices of the un on the export of grain from the black sea ports, and turkey is again in the center, as the guarantor of food delivery, well done. during the second world war, the soviet union received not only weapons, but also
10:14 am
food. according to the norms of calories, there was enough food in the ussr, but the allies helped to expand the diet products by northern sea convoys, and then by trucks through iran they brought him kup wheat. sugar. later, egg powder, milk chocolate concentrates, and, of course, the famous pork stew appeared, it was made in the usa according to a soviet recipe in the soviet union. it was ironically dubbed the second front during the blockade of leningrad, the road of life was laid on the ice of lake ladoga. they walked in convoys of trucks. people were taken back with flour and bread, the track was shelled, many trucks went under the ice, but before ladoga froze, scabs and transports walked along it. it was an extremely dangerous lake famous for its curtains, therefore, even under peter the great, the ladoga canal was dug along the ships. but this territory was occupied by the germans. i had to go through open water with the risk of
10:15 am
sinking a storm and under the blows of german bombers during the war years, regular sea convoys supported the existence of the british base, on the island of malta, frequent raids by the italian and german air force depleted its resources in june forty- second, only two ships reached malta then to save the base as part of a special operation, the pedestal went to the rescue in a special convoy. this prevented the surrender of the island in 1948 to those dissatisfied with the decision. the un partitioned palestine, the arabs blockaded several jewish settlements , including kibbutses. bush etzion for many months, armed convoys kept the besieged commune alive. he had over 100 tons of food, after which it was broken. israeli guards used armored trucks improvised fighting vehicles from improvised
10:16 am
means of the greatest fame. they received in vietnam then armed convoys regularly supplied the us army and often fell into ambushes. partisans began to build dumbbells for their protection on the ground. such machines were also used by the soviet army in afghanistan, but their name was known to be a contract. they got it after the vietnam war. today in ethiopia, the military is escorting a peacetime convoy this april following the announcement of a humanitarian movement between government and militants, the capital of the rebel region. play arrived 500 tons of food according to the un's estimates. the region should be supplied with food by about 100 trucks daily. and the situation in the grain sector, we talked with a man who keeps his finger on the pulse eduard zirnin chairman of the board of the union of grain exporters of russia we hear
10:17 am
every day now for the general public this is a frightening background industries. in fact, more or less everything was basic the crisis was, uh, the times of the pandemic. and, of course, it was the pandemic that seriously crippled those established chain goods that, uh, allowed us to supply countries in need. uh, and uh, the problem starts, of course, a long time ago and will end up back in 2015. the united nations launched a program to combat world hunger. and just a pandemic of the species, only exacerbated the problem, and uh, post-pandemic time. yes, again, it is characterized by the restoration of chains, but taking into account those man-made problems of those invisible barriers that we meet, especially the last six months. uh, the situation is not improving and with great
10:18 am
regret. even the united nations has stated that even by 2030, the goal for which the program was launched will not be solved and the number of hungry people in the world is unlikely to decrease. this is a very disturbing fact. it means that we need to rework the measures that were included in it; we need to look at new solutions. and most importantly, do not stop not stop supplying food to those people who need it. here are the man-made problems you are talking about, understandable. this is a variant of the political crisis in general. this is a review. if you do not take, here is the current moment, how many are subject to the political situation. hey, interested. uh, you see, it depends on the supply of grain. uh, including the stability of society, because this is the basic product there is such a concept of stepan food of its own grain. this is its basis for those bases of products, food that mankind has been eating since time immemorial. and, of course, on the topic
10:19 am
of grain supply, the easiest way to play is, and basic goods. these are big ships. these are large parties and, accordingly, this is food security, well, without exception, of all countries of the world. therefore, of course, we experienced political pressure to one degree or another, but of course, over the past six months, it has become a key risk factor for us, which has never happened before, you hear the comments of public politicians. compare them with what you see in the industry, this coincides with and not in a completely strange way, and the comments of public politicians and the comments of specialists, practically do not meet, respectively. we have our own problem area. uh, and politicians have their own problem. and uh, and maybe that's a good thing, because depending on the rhetoric of the underlying business, it
10:20 am
goes on. and again, i repeat, the reference side of the united nations, no matter how much you talked about the problems of exporting grain from ukraine , the un fau stated that the process did not stop, therefore, trade was not measured. eh, finally, huh? and it's the same with us. whatever she had built, man-made barriers. we are not stopped trading. uh, the last days literally, and there are a lot of, sort of, optimistic reports that make the exception of sanctions now going to be easier with grain fertilizers. you feel it for yourself. you know it is difficult to feel something that officially did not exist, therefore those exceptions of which are now being discussed. let's wait for their implementation. once again, these barriers are invisible. basically, there are no official documents, a simple everyday situation, for example, there is a ship under the european flag, which has profitable fractions for those fort
10:21 am
novorossiysk is loaded with our grain and, let's say, the shipowner in egypt simply refuses to do this, because they say, i don't know, but the grain is not included in the sanctions package. well, what can you guarantee me about what will happen to me later? naturally, no one will guarantee him, and he refuses. and such situations are clean enough , the same with banks, that is, directly none. ah, there is no prohibition on settlements on payments for the lake. uh, compliance, the bank is asking a reasonable question. how can you me to check that there will be problems in it? we cannot guarantee in any way. this must be guaranteed by politicians. this is exactly the part we are counting on. eh, until the last moment their position was. we didn't include it. we have issued a license. it's none of our business. we did our part in such a way that it does not work, and we even see that according to the results of the last grain year. we have delivered over 700,000 tons of wheat and over 700,000 tons of barley to the world market. and for
10:22 am
some countries, this is the annual balance that they necessary. that, in fact, is the price of such detachment that existed until recently , and for us, of course, this is a very positive fact that they started talking about it, that they began to take certain measures and that, again, i repeat, the united nations intervened in this process, because it is really part of her job to ensure the global balance of food consumption, and now it is with their active participation that all the latest positive processes are taking place. to what extent is your industry depends on modern technologies here the same side is the sanctions, because we see that the technological war even before the latest events. she developed. it depends on what to call e modern technologies, if we are talking about agricultural methods and agrotechnical methods, then there are big problems. we do not test for
10:23 am
some items. we are ahead of the rest, if we are talking, for example, about heavy energy- efficient equipment. yes, then, probably, there will be certain problems here, because, uh, some manufacturers of this equipment are global the leaders left our market and just to repeat their success, because we understand how it works and think that it will not be difficult for our machine builders, but it takes time. in our country, season by season, we increased purchases of such equipment, and of course. we now need to think. how to fill this balance, what is there in the alternative markets of friendly sciences and despite the fact that one or another manufacturer has left the market, if no one removes it, the responsibility for warranty service of equipment and the provision of spare parts parts of this process takes several years before the actual manufacturer of such a complex machine costs medical equipment and leaves the market completely. here is our case today. it just happened instantly. and here it is necessary to
10:24 am
call on the families by possible legal methods to fulfill their obligations, which companies accepted at the very moment they entered our market. i mean hi-tech. and for us, the problem is not worth it, because russia is just the very unique case that we have. uh, big stock uh land, that is, as a rule, all high-tech digital technologies work from the lack of this resource. and therefore, they mainly develop in those countries that really suffer from a lack of fertile land. thank you. thank you. more advertising about the features of european politics don't leave pentalgin extrigel against pain in muscles and joints it has the highest dosage of a substance for pain and inflammation and

10:28 am
in any way you are used to from a world map or applications? europe is in political crisis again, now italy is a coalition led by the former head of the european central bank. mario drags. the country's president disbanded, dismissed both houses of parliament and called new elections for september on questions led by the brothers of italy party its leader, georgia miloni, is counting on the premiership in the fall, brothers, the next by no means, not
10:29 am
the first incarnation of the extreme right, which is even considered a distant heir to the classic fascists. it sounds so-so, but italy has its own tradition. unlike germany, the parties are not separated from the era of fascism. here they are possible, although they cause allergies to a significant part of society. after the second world war, as a result of the elections of the forty-sixth year, the christian democratic party came to power in italy for almost half a century, it was the leading political force country, but after the energy crisis of the seventy- third year, as a result of a sharp deterioration in the economic situation, the radical left, as well as the right and new fascist groups, became more active. in connection with the fascist organizations, the most notable were the italian social movement and the sd, founded in the seventy- second year by mussolini supporters artur micherini and giorgio almiranca, along with the essd, the
10:30 am
ultra-right parties of the national vanguard national front acted. and a new order. it was these forces that organized terrorist attacks on state institutions and massive street fights with communists and leftists in january 1995 , the sd party was dissolved, and in september 1997, another ultra-right party emerged. new strength. it is led by former neo-fascist militant roberta feure, who returned from the uk where he was hiding from italian justice for a long time in 2004-2016, the feora party was in a coalition with the social action party of alexander mussolini, the granddaughter of the dictator, and the social national front. adriana tegera alliance was terminated due to the fact that the granddaughter of mussolini trehnula rights of the centrist coalition. silvio berlusconi house of freedom, which included the nationalist league of the north in 2008, the social national front was blocked with the lotestro party of the
10:31 am
right, led by francesco-saraca, who continued the line of giorgio almirata. well, after 5 years, this alliance collapsed, the lodestre party advocates the position of fascism and criticizes the entire political class of italy. europe considers the bureaucracy of the european union and the financial elite to be the main enemy of europe, the united states, as in italy today they perceive the times of mussolini vera shcherbakova from rome gianluca , his grandfather’s roman hereditary named romulo, like the famous founder of rome, was in the forty-fourth year the nazis in germany for forced labor and returned only after 2 years, he was not a member of the fascist party and suffered for the partisan movement. today, his grandson is nostalgic for the order and the times of mussolini when the trains ran on time, but does not want to be labeled, because being a fascist in a country proclaimed by the constitution of anti-fascist
10:32 am
valuables is considered shameful. see what i'm wearing today is a black shirt associated with the nazis. but this is only for the work of politics, nothing to do with it, but the roads were clean then, not that today the law does not protect itself. this is the whole democracy of italy in quotation marks, the fascist party is prohibited any inflammation of fascism is punishable, but it is precisely the italian democratic tolerance that allows political ideas close to it salts, which are being fought this year in october it will be 100 years since the fascists came to power and how reminiscent of the well-known story of k. the author of the books healing paul aground this happened in a completely democratic way and a bonus bonus for two years, power. they shared with other parties, but then a dictatorship was established that lasted until july 25, forty-three, throughout the country and the social republic of solo lasted until april 25, forty-five, for many years said that mussolini
10:33 am
did a lot of good things before the adoption of racial laws in 1938, and other countries took him as an example, but in recent years refused, and fascism eventually developed negative judgments of the vision of the mussols of the ideal city. here it is in time with national pride. turn on the great roman empire, but the classical architecture in the packaging of rationalism, this quarter was designed in the late thirties and was planned as the venue for the world exhibition of the forty-second year, but as you know, the project was implemented a few years after the war in the early fifties and already this determined the incomplete oblivion of musselenie time left a lot architectural monuments of remy fascism, but no one demolished them. they are included in the book on architecture art, as the palace of the italian civilization, which is better known as the square colosseum is now completely eur, a prestigious area with offices and a respectable public, it is tacitly believed that
10:34 am
its inhabitants share legal views. perhaps it is no coincidence that george miloni lives nearby, the leader of the party, the brothers of italy, who are now in the political field to the greatest extent associated with the legacy of fascist ideology, we have no attitudes towards fascism from a political point of view hand out labels. fascist russophile anti-vaxxer. this is a convenient way to not discuss ideas, both the people who are given these labels and those who give them out much easier to say shut up. how to explain the soundness of your opponent's arguments the restoration of fascism in italy is impossible, despite the growing number of incidents involving fascist gestures, symbols and the roman salute, for example, in stadiums. this invariably generates controversy and outrage. but for it is rarely imprisoned mussolini today can not again become a leader, but as a cultural phenomenon, vera shcherbakova has not yet completely become obsolete especially for international review and vision. the doubtful
10:35 am
past worries not only the italians in spain, the times of francoism have long passed, but the memory of them is alive to admit to some open friend. franco, of course, no one will, but some features of his reign, in general of that era, well, sympathizes sympathizes. well, all the more so in the conditions of that, uh, well, a very left-wing course, which, of course the spaniards. now life is more complicated in some ways, the government of the spanish socialists initiated a law on democratic memory. it is intended to replace the law of oblivion, adopted in the seventy-seventh year shortly after the death of the dictator francisco franco, the meaning of the then act to prevent the settling of scores between those who were on opposite sides
10:36 am
of the front line in the civil war of the thirties, a fragile democracy sorted out. that is, if she could not stand it, everyone would agree. following franco's cause, king juan carlos of spain first took a course towards democratization in the seventy-eighth was adopted. the new constitution of the country. none of franco's assistants were repressed, but the topic of the civil war of historical memory turned into an instrument of interport struggle in 2004, the prime minister of spain, the socialist rodrigos zapatara, tried to rebury franco but could not succeed, however, after 3 years his government adopted a law on historical memory. he supposed getting rid of the symbols of francoism in the territory of the valley of the fallen main memorial during the civil war, any political actions were banned. however, the implementation of the law stalled in 2013, the socialists again proposed to move the franco mausoleum and the grave of the founder
10:37 am
of the falangist party, with the fashion of the riviera, from the arena that fell to another place, and call the cemetery itself a memorial. in memory of those who died during the reign of franco, a little more than half of the population of the country spoke out for the transfer of the remains of the dictator, but the right-wing government of marianna rojoya rejected these proposals, citing a lack of funds, the transfer of the remains nevertheless took place when the socialists again came to power on october 24, 1919. the remains of the franks were removed from the basilica and taken to the municipal cemetery. in the eldar region in the north. madrid, a forensic expert, a priest and 22 descendants of franco participated in the procedure in minsk of justice of spain. the last monument to the dictator was dismantled on february 23, 2021, deputies from the right-wing wax party voted against dismantling, stating that franco was immortalized in the world of lilies in no way by the rulers of spain a as commander of the spanish
10:38 am
troops won in 1926 victory over berber emirate. the oblivion prescribed by law did not happen 45 years later the topic is right there the law on the so-called democratic memory, which the government is now implementing within the framework of which there is a ban on the franco foundation and there is an idea to take away the awards that were for police service . here, well, with such security officials, but in those years, well, such a revision, yes, which before that the spaniards well, no way, well, they were not going to do it. this is the demand to investigate the crime of francoism. what are they should be put on trial, and so on. this
10:39 am
violates, but the law of obomnesty of the seventy-seventh year, or the fact of oblivion. yes, it was still legislative acts, respectively, a new law. he is not simple. here something new will be fired, and the current legislation will be repealed. yes , to which in general there was one way or another, then here it is called the post francoist concerto, which began to break down, and we see this, well, the catalan case - this is the most such. here is a pronounced example of the word of this post-francisco consensus. well, coming to the power of the ultra-right loks is also unconditional. just an example. eh, there are many reasons for this whole process, there is a crisis of the national state. yes, in general, the crisis of the european idea and the european process, which was there to dissolve all these ideas in national identity. now such a complex search for new
10:40 am
conditions is new, and national identity and, of course, the politics of memory, symbolic politics is the key process in this. history is an attractive but dangerous subject for politicians situation. it seems that everything has long been overgrown with underwear, but strike a historical match and the old passions flare up again. what role do the stories of the first half of the 20th century play in today's european politics? let's talk about this with professor alexei miller. he heads the center for the study of cultural memory and symbolic politics at the european university in st. petersburg. alexei in spain, the topic of the past civil war is going in circles. it feels like a swinging pendulum, when the socialists are in power, they raise the topic of responsibility, conservatives, it is being canceled, remember 2019. and when frank was reburied, he was also buried
10:41 am
in this memorial complex, where the victims of the civil war are buried, he was reburied in a crypt in one of the madrid cemetery. and if we look at how this decision was made, there were 170-odd votes in favor of reburial. and 160 -something abstentions, and it was a situation in which there was still a certain consensus, yes. we are doing this. we are not delighted, but we agree, in principle, we do not mind. here those who abstained are those who today, in these conditions, when it was adopted, this new law is from memory. yes, they all
10:42 am
voted against. a and this is a completely different situation and it is clear that it is worth the right to win. mm. they will win back in order to pass this law to them, and they needed the support of regional parties, and regional separatism. especially catalan. this is a very painful key question, which, by the way, is directly related to the history of the civil war, because in fact , catalonia suffered very much franco, he was already a man, and not very politically correct, he did not like to say that he could not stand two sounds. just organically, when dogs bark, and when the catalans speak their own language. a decision in which, with regard to the memory of the civil war, some country is declared
10:43 am
guilty and only it, of course, cannot be productive. let us recall that the leftists actually killed about 7,000 catholic priests from them. during the red terror there, that is, it is, as it were , a situation where society is very strongly split to so far and i would say that it is much more sharply and painfully split than our society in relation to the civil war. we don't have any consensus either. well, memory generally seems to be an extremely relevant political tool. right. what is important here is that about 10 15 years ago there was a very distinct mood in europe that it was not necessary to adopt laws regulating memory. by
10:44 am
that time they had already passed such laws. a certain number, but they were mainly related to holocaust denial, but since then there have been many changed, and let's say in our part of europe. here in this post of the communist, all countries adopted, ah, laws regulating memory, and the ukrainians, if i'm not mistaken, have about nine of them. we have either two or three, but not so long ago there wasn’t a single one and we lived somehow in germany in a special case, but if we take the same spain portugal italy for southern europe fascism, as part of history, this is what this is not a complete taboo. no, this is not a complete scoreboard, in general, i would still make a very hard distinction. eh, fascism and on target. on the service list of the nazis
10:45 am
there is a holocaust, frank does not have it, he did not even officially participate in the second world war. and actually, uh , arguing about, uh, to what extent can franco be considered? uh, they are fascists, they have a reason, because after all, fascists are revolutionary ideologies, mobilizing revolutionary ideologies, and people like franco like salazar, like mannerheyan in romania or horthia. uh, in hungary, this is usually, by the way, well, with the exception of salazar's accountant, these are top officers, and, as it were, fragments of the old regime who are trying to preserve some elements of this old regime
10:46 am
against these young scumbags, who then come to power precisely. as fascists, this does not mean that the figures i have listed were by no means attractive. no, a trail of blood trails behind everyone. but and this is all in the context of, as it were, civil wars, either in hungary, or in finland, e.g., as if in spain with the red threat they call it that. and you can imagine the normalization of the practices of the first half of the 20th century, in fact. after all, everyone is listed as nationalists. and now for the nation for nationalism is what is called in the trend? i agree, but there is another aspect, after all, the modern conflict in europe is described as the last or
10:47 am
not the last battle of good, that is, democracy with evil, that is, authoritarianism, and within the framework of this construction, somehow glorify or abelize, actually authoritarian dictars. er, well, not very convenient. well then, for us the most interesting revision of the eastern european attitude to the past is the legitimation of those who were previously tabooed as nazi accomplices. it's a completely separate process. or is it somehow connected with what is happening in the west by the end of the 20th century, after all, in western europe there was such a concentration that the main crimes of the 20th century. this is the holocaust. hmm , the responsibility lies with all europeans. because they all participated to one degree or another, and the role of the main victim belongs to those who
10:48 am
are not with us, that is, the jews killed in the holocaust, respectively, and the entire eastern european memory structure. it directly contradicts, yes, but, because there was glorification of those who participated in the holocaust, and in forty-one forty-two forty third year. just by killing jews in the place of eastern european jews, they were not taken to auschwitz, they were killed in barves and ravines, these people in eastern european standards there are baltic e-ukrainian, and they were perceived as e fighters for national freedom. and they usually perished in the narrative in the national heroic bible in the fight against the communists and eastern european
10:49 am
narratives. uh, hmm, the main victim is us, if the genocide, so this is not about the genocide of the jews, but this is our suffering and our genocide. every eastern european country. there is a genocide. now, by the way, we have too, because a year ago the court. for the first time i made a decision that refers to the genocide of the soviet people, if you think about what happened during the blockade of leningrad, it suddenly turns out that this is the genocide of the soviet people, because the ethnicity of the leningraders was not analyzed. all who teach. in the siege of leningrad, they knew perfectly well what was happening in the city, uh, and everyone perfectly participated in the uh mass killing of millions by hunger, uh,
10:50 am
besieged residents, leningrad genocide took place, and how did this revision of assessments affect the general situation in europe when the eastern european countries entered the uh eu, they uh, began work that has been successfully completed today. and instead of a construction in which the main crime is the holocaust, and the main criminal is nazi, germany the main criminals should have been two totalites. this is the tale of two totalitarianisms that unleashed the second world war that tormented the peoples, and western europe was freed from totalitarianism forty-fifth. and
10:51 am
eastern europe according to this, it remained under totalitarian fifth of the soviets until the ninety-first year. and this tarativ seemed indecent when they began to promote it, and it gradually established itself and today all of europe celebrates the day of remembrance for the victim of totalitarianism on august 23, on the day of the signing of the hmm non-aggression pact between germany of the ussr, as if there were no other parks they attacks what was said about russia and what was considered indecent, as it were, well, today it’s quite decent in this sense now for a person who would try to repeat his criticism. here
10:52 am
such narratives. ah, russophobic uh, which he spoke about five years ago. yes, he would have turned out to be, just, uh, hmm declared accomplices of russian aggression. uh, putin's accomplices and uh, will be cancelled. we know very well that this is now a very fashionable practice. thank you. alexey miller from st. petersburg was with us, her memory, but no one needs to cancel the current one, the problems of the authorities. we have to decide here and now. they have like elections or like, uh, some noticeable problems with the economy in the first place. so they're pardon's literally and figuratively, they exhume the remains of franco, which means that the name somehow distracts the population. after the preventive maintenance, the
10:53 am
nord stream gas pipeline was launched not at full capacity; the turbine from canada is still on the way, but still in germany they exhaled. well, they don’t know what next the european commission requires from the eu countries to reduce gas consumption by 15% and agree to a directive redistribution of toast in response, russia’s energy gap does not sound and is unprofitable for both sides, but in general, the european level will not turn the course clearly on the issue of disengagement, a set of individual states will arise, which, like hungary, for example, will begin to build their own relations with the supplier. and what this will mean for the unity of the atlantic front is intriguing. it was an international review, goodbye.
