name says it all, we are talking about the territory that has returned to its historical roots - novorossiya. we will continue to follow the ukrainian processes. we will analyze them. and yet today, in our opinion, it is much more interesting to observe how life is changing in the donbas zaporozhye and kherson regions in the new russian regions with the help of a close look at the history of novorossia. we will try to reveal the originality of her present day, to find in it typical features and recognizable signs of the past. and that's what we'll talk about today. defenders of novorossia yesterday's hard workers today's warriors, how miners and metallurgy have become a combat-ready army a conversation with an expert of the program, when they say the guns of the muses

are still not silent, theatrical life of donbass these days the country celebrates the day defender of the fatherland in a special atmosphere. today, from the traditional and even somewhat ritual men's day of the professional military holiday and those who have ever served in the army, it has again become the day of warriors. all those who stood up to protect our fellow citizens and compatriots , their near and dear borders of the fatherland and its sovereignty , their hundreds of thousands of professional contract soldiers , volunteers, mobilized infantrymen , tankers, special forces , artillerymen, signalmen, pilots, and fighters of many other specialties, they are courageous and skillful disciplined and know what they are fighting for at the front, or as they say now on the line

of contact. there are tens of thousands who are fighting for their homeland because of our common fatherland for more than a year. these are fighters. and then the people's militia of the donetsk and luhansk people's republics, those who in 2014 became the core of the army of novorossia, then in the spring of 2014 - these were ordinary men who were indignant at the lawlessness of the euromaidan, left their machines and mines and practically with their bare hands. let's go stop armored personnel carriers and tanks of the armed forces ukraine then they took up arms, because they did not want to forget their history, they wanted to speak and teach their children in their native language , they were not ready to become part of anti-russia. they quickly became disciplined and skilled military men, ordinary people with civilian professions turned into

real warriors. a soldier is discipline, subordination, order and duty of soldiers are part of a large and highly organized warrior machine - this is courage and strength. skill initiative. this is a soldier with great experience and high motivation, whose character has been tempered in difficult conditions of war, speaking about these people , the president of russia and the supreme commander-in-chief highly appreciated the quality of the defenders of donbass and novorossiya. first of all, i want to say that your man is very worthy simply and very effectively. on december 202, the first and second army corps of the donetsk people's republic and the lugansk

republic, as well as the donetsk higher general military command school, were included in the armed forces of the russian federation , russian president vladimir putin handed over the battle flags to this formation. and those who courageously and selflessly defends novorossiya in 2014 in the story of marinka , the nearest suburb of donetsk, fighting in this area has been going on since 2015. it is nice here. we dug in. all these years from here. shelling of residential areas of donetsk was carried out, because of which civilians died. today , our artillery tanks are actively working in the fortified areas. in essence, in the trenches of the soldiers, our direction is such that we have, in essence, only trenches and industrial

buildings. it is clear that before the fight anxiety. there are a lot of emotions before the fight. all these are here are the experiences. they accumulate inside you, accumulate accumulate and you go out into the field and complete calmness, detachment, and only just the other day we recorded the work on the most advanced donation of the front, only a few hundred meters during the interview, now and then you can hear the sounds of arrivals and exploding shells. well, i'm a driver, 72. and before that i served on a bramy and evacuated equipment in the battlefield, when marinki knocked us out . the commander and the gunner were left without communication, they lost consciousness, and i decided to take the tank to the battlefield. through a minefield. here everyone has already managed to gain combat experience. among the fighters, those who once formed the backbone of the militia participated in the battles near debaltsev and took control of ilovaisk. donetsk

airport before the war came to the donbass these people worked as rescuers, tractor drivers, miners, whoever and everyone had their own reason to go to war. my son was born, the war started, they started shelling donetsk, and i made a decision for myself that i could protect my family. only i myself will not take care of anyone, since i can do it to do in any case, if we had not gone on the offensive, they would have come to us. you just took the first step ukraine and the collective west supporting it constantly crossed the red line of the disruption of the minsk agreements, the time that, instead of resolving the conflict, was used by kiev to prepare for a large-scale war against the inhabitants of donbass today , former the leaders of france germany and the most independent and, of course, endless. pumping ukraine weapons. we are heavy machinery. after long disputes, the countries of the west, nevertheless , agreed on the rate of tanks of american abrams and german leopards. however, our

fighters are ready to give them a warm welcome, what can i say, abrams leopards, challengers. everyone says everyone is burning the same way the tower will fly off. everything and the earth will burn and the metal will burn. we are not afraid of them. we will burn them all, let them come, we will show them. donbass, character militia volunteers mobilized contract soldiers all in the same trenches dynamo military brotherhood, and after the entry of the liberated territories of donbass into russia , it is, in principle, inappropriate to separate its fighters. well, there is nothing to say about the motivational component. everyone is fighting and already understands the real goal, the real threat, which, uh, which concerns not only the donbass, it now concerns russia, our common motherland . that is why many volunteers from different regions

of russia began to come here even before the start of mobilization. far east siberia urals and , of course, the neighboring kuban, the one about which ukrainian nationalists shouted from ukraine today, the opponent's formation has changed to a quieter one in a more aggressive one with them. countries. they felt that there was some kind of confidence behind them. uh, some power. now this is no longer the case. initiative. uh, today u are in the hands of our units russian units. we see a steady and confident progress of our divisions forward. we see, uh, every week we see reports on the liberation of the territory, uh, as if the morale of our units uh, rises and apparently, the opposite results. just about everything, while shells are exploding at the front , the hearts of anastasia, a paradise student from st. she

communicates with him regularly. my dad left on contract last year. he is a talented mechanic to life and at the front. he has now found himself. ah, his tasks include transporting the wounded , transporting the dead, and he also takes fighters to the front line after talking with his father anastasia writes poems, publishes them in the internet. she says that this is her way to support and hug each fighter, and while days with a bloody dawn you bring the smell of a wild beast to your shoes and warm yourself, mariupol anastasia says that sometimes especially brave opponents criticize her on the net, however. never in the eyes well, the significance of such support for the fighters who are now on the front line is difficult to overestimate it is important to receive news from home it is important not to forget about peaceful life to return to which is the main goal of a special military operation

possible promotion. forward. well, we see support from people all the time. that is, we have correspondents. they constantly bring letters from cities and schools. eh, normal. uh, the toys are usually origami by kids who are just trying to put up their support for us. that is, it is also very touching and evokes just such a feeling, cool here in the trenches of the donbass in victory, no one doubts, as well as that they are right. in the end, what was called svo in russia became a response to another kiev abbreviation, otherwise the so-called anti-terrorist operation in the course of which kiev has been killing people in the donbas for years anna and again valeriy savelievna anastasia popova typical novorossiya we will talk with our permanent

expert to historians, political scientist alexander vasiliev, about how yesterday's miners and metallurgists became a combat-ready army. sasha good afternoon. hello ukrainian propaganda since 2014 literally from the first days. uh, the beginning of the anti-terrorist campaign. it was called in ukraine this operation in the donbass when they began to use the armed forces against unarmed people all the time, ukrainian propaganda told that they were actually fighting not with the militias, but with the russian army. it really was so really the backbone and the basis of the personnel who fought against the ukrainian army these years, and the ukrainian so-called volunteer battalions were, of course, the natives of donbass already at certain critical moments, and there really was combat support, and from russia i assure you that here, as it were, in the front ranks, but they were walking. here are the guys, at which even at that time everyone had formally, and blue passports yes, ukrainian as

in a short time, uh, the acquisition of donbass could become a very combat-ready armed forces. that's what brought these people together, what organized them. let's look at uh, even prominent uh, there commanders, for example, the majority militia, who are no longer with us and commanders. ah, the first waves. and here we can givi and mikhail tolstykh yes, and alexei mozgovoy alexander zakharchenko and none of them directly worked at the moment when he took up arms, uh, not in mine. e not in there at the rolling mill. yes, these were people often, uh, from small businesses and the service sector. that is, just those who find it easier, but make a decision for a radical change. e your life, relatively speaking, if you are a taxi driver there or if you have, for example, a small coffee shop of your own. and if you are an it specialist, yes, because it is considered as if all it specialists are for some reason yes, they are not creative, e, up to

a few creative class, of course, but in the first wave, after all, if we talk specifically about the proletarians, it was not this way a lot, as they say about it, and when they began to turn it into e, in the fifteenth year, two corps, yes, which, according to the staff list, it was actually a kind of model, and the russian army transferred to the donbass and staffed by these people. and just then, many enterprises stopped. yes, and many. here are people like this, so to speak, proletarians. yes, they already, but began to pour into these buildings. and, on the contrary, many are such passionaries. yes, they began to leave them for and, for example, in donetsk, i can say this to anyone who has been there these years there is nothing surprising and there, let's say you call a taxi, you go with a driver. he will tell you, and here i was in the fourteenth year, here we fought. here we are a tank, well, such a story and absolutely. that is, this person does not brag about it, not somehow trying to present himself, so to speak. uh, it's just part of his biography. yes, because when we are talking about this military sphere. we must clearly understand that

there are two fundamental things, and fighting and serving in the army are not the same thing. and donbass has proved, when we say now that these are the donetsk corps, which well, that's how i'll be honest. yes, in order to cover reality, there were a lot of problems in them. during these 8 years. you suddenly started fighting. these are intense ones along the entire huge front, and they showed themselves perfectly, what is it about yourself? well, the president said it. yes, why is that, because this is a fighting army, yes, and this experience of war it is impossible to replace it with any training, but to replace we see that the war is not very maneuverable. yes, in fact. from the same donetsk here is the front front next to the neck with denis. he practically didn't move. that is, absolutely the same war is going on there now, to which people are already accustomed, which they have been waging for these years. it’s just that now we have more diverse hands with them, because we know these agreements. such agreements really tried to fulfill them, yes, and this, again, was not popular with the donbas military, many left,

because, well, they became part of the armed forces again in the twenty-second year. yes, because well, under the terms of the minsk agreements, it looked completely different. here, uh, these are. well, the main factors in this sense, and the main thing, of course, is motivation, that is, people literally fight on their own land. and in the donbass it is for obvious reasons. er, well, above average. so he said today, uh, the corps of the people's militia of the dpr lc became part of the armed forces of the russian federation. what does this mean for yesterday's militias, and how will it affect? what experience will this give the armed forces of the russian federation? so here i am very i would like it to happen, well, as it were, all the best was taken from one system from another , and by uniting we would get even more results on the one hand. hey, i'll start talking. from the side yes, here is the donbass yes on the one hand, of course, there are social guarantees and social standards for

military personnel, because our viewers must understand this huge difference that is adjacent between a volunteer and between a person who was mobilized and either served on a contract and takes part military actions. when are you go volunteers, no one will receive any payments in the event of your death or disability there. and no one, no matter how you are, is better than no pension there. i worked in donetsk in 1915. alexander zakharchenkov and i made such a direct line, that is, citizens addressed him and a significant part of the appeals. it was people. they were widows. these were orphans, their fathers died, and fighting in the ranks of the famous battalions. yes, in fact. these people could not even document properly, but confirm, because just imagine there is some there, i don’t know the cossack unit in the summer of the fourteenth year, what documents does he have, how can you confirm this? what did you actually fight, and people were already dying, and so on. and now it’s very important that we

already in the russian federation all this needs to be introduced legally and right now in new york where it goes, where in fact, he is discussing ukraine , mr. special session of the un general assembly then many of its member countries turned out to be disoriented and went on about the collective west, which appealed to the fact that nothing more terrible in the history of mankind had ever supposedly happened, and therefore, in response, therefore, an unprecedented response to russia's actions is needed. since then , many of you have better understood the reasons for what happened and what is happening. and it has become much more difficult for the western camp to mobilize

member countries, it is evidence of this support for its crusade against russia and the draft resolution submitted for voting, which nevertheless remains anti-russian malware. it's just that the chances of getting support for something more substantive in conditions of better informed member countries are much less. so, let me sum up what's up, members not involved in the conflict strangely learned this year about the ideas of western states and how much our world has changed during this time. first of all , it became obvious that the main element of the anti-russian propaganda campaign of our former western partners. is to to accuse russia of not being provoked by aggression against its neighbor are dictated by some

imperial ambitions of striving to seize foreign territory and destroy ukraine. as such, believe in these absurd allegations. is it possible so much, if we forget about the eight years preceding the start of our special military operation that is how long the criminal nationalist regime that came to power kiev in kiev as a result of an anti-constitutional coup supported by the west waged a bloody war against the inhabitants donbass, their only fault was that they wanted to remain russian and saw their children as russian, honored the memory of their ancestors and despised the nazi henchmen heroized by the new authorities. start counting history from february 24, 2022, ignoring everything that happened before. this is a deliberate attempt by the collective west to

mislead and hide the real causes of the conflict, which are key to understanding the prospects for its peaceful resolution. thanks to well-known revelations, a number of retired western leaders today are not there is no doubt that under the cover of the minsk agreements approved by the security council, the west purposefully prepared ukraine for a war against our country. connivance and complicity of european americans, a truly authoritarian despotic regime was formed and consistently armed in kiev, which systematically destroyed everything oppositional and everything that could somehow be linked with russia in a country where the russian language is native for most of the population and which for many centuries it was in cultural unity with our such a policy meant, in fact, the undermining

of the artificial paradigm of ukraine as anti-russians that binds societies and plantings. all these years, the kiev regime continued inhuman shelling of peaceful cities of the donetsk and lugansk people 's republics, civilians were killed, including children. we regularly informed the security council and the general assembly about this at the site. he was a meeting of the meeting, which attracted themselves, donbass let them speak out and talk about their tragedy. those who followed these meetings well understand that we had no other choice but to protect the population of donbass and ensure the security of our country by military means, in other words. we launched a special military operation in order to stop

the eight-year war of the kiev authorities against this honchan. we warned them of the admissibility of the military development of the collective west of the territory of neighboring ukraine, which created a direct threat to our national security. but the west has demonstrated over and over again, causing disdain for russian concerns continues to bring nato's military infrastructure closer to our borders. the statement of a number of countries that russia is to blame for the destruction of the regional and global security system is hypocritical now our western colleagues prefer not to recall this, but at the end of 2021 russia put forward a number of specific initiatives to de-escalate and build confidence in the euro-atlantic area, we suggested that the us and nato sign

security agreements. thus, we gave diplomacy a chance. but this chance was arrogantly rejected by the us and allies. they flatly refused to even discuss our initiatives, which, if implemented, would allow us to avoid what we are seeing today. now we understand why this happened when we proposed to agree on a security guarantee. the west was already at full speed turning ukraine into a full-fledged military foothold in the immediate vicinity. i remember this backstory, if we have the slightest reason to trust today's statements by western representatives that they want peace. i think that today, a year after the start of the active phase of the ukrainian crisis, there is little

there is no doubt that it is not ukraine that is at war with russia, which, in fact, squandered its military potential of the first week of a special military operation, but the collective west represented by the united states and its nato ally the european union, they not only supply kiev with weapons and ammunition, but also supply vsu. is it information and agree on targets for missile strikes. at the same time, the west, which used to read us lulling tales about some kind of partnership and cooperation, is now in full measure. bared his true discarded any propriety set a goal arming ukraine inflict a strategic defeat on our country , dismember and destroy it. such schemes are being openly discussed in a number of eastern european capitals and in the european parliament, the relevant slogans are being promoted by current american european politicians. for the sake of this goal, in the west they have closed

and are closing their eyes to the revival of neo-nazism of criminals. it becomes quite obvious that the ukrainian crisis has become only a catalyst for the emergence of this cave russophobia, which is now indiscriminately infected by the american and european elite, competing in the number of sanctions against our country, which in fact these sanctions hit more precisely on the developing world. in this, in this desire to defeat russia at any cost, and they are ready to sacrifice, sacrifice not only ukraine, but also return the whole world to the abyss of war. after all, at stake is the preservation of the hegemony of the united states and its allies, who never want to allow anyone to control the planet. after all, they consider it their own and only their turn. they are

, as it were, mr. borel, this is a beautiful garden, and the rest is just a jungle. at the same time, on calls to stop from extremely concerned developing states , the collective west does not respond to any peace plan in quotation marks that are thrown into the media space by kiev or its western backers. in fact, everything boils down to the same capitulation of russia, this has long become obvious to everyone, and the real attitude of the kiev regime to negotiations is eloquently evidenced by the law adopted by the ukrainian president last september, which prohibits negotiations with the russian leadership. thanks to the revelations of the former israeli prime minister naftale ben is gone. there is no doubt that in march last year, when our special military operations were still at the very initial stage

, the zelensky regime, under pressure from the western masters, withdrew its own ideas transmitted to us during the negotiations on a long-term peace with russia allowing us to eliminate the causes that forced us to start our peaceful path. it was not for this that washington , london and brussels armed and strengthened the kiev regime, made ukraine anti-russian, that in russia and ukraine could again live in peace and good-neighbourliness and security , our african and asian partners are well aware of this colonial logic set by neighbors with each other. nothing new in the arsenal. the west did not appear during this time. so what do we have today, as a result of all this, we have a blazing ukrainian crisis, which the west is fueling with new deliveries of weapons video left the hybrid war to the last ukrainians. behind such decisions are no longer so much politics or

even vain fantasies that cause - they apply russia will be defeated on the field. how many greedy weapons lobbies, receiving super profits and an excellent testing ground for testing new types of weapons in combat conditions. meanwhile, the involvement of the west in the conflict and from the indirect ones is increasingly outgrowing the direct one, and the consequences of this are becoming noticeable everywhere from the food and energy crisis provoked by western sanctions to the undermining of the nord stream, for which, of course, one will have to answer in any case. we also have those suffering from the criminal kiev regime the population of ukraine used as cannon fodder for the sake of western geopolitical ambitions those of the ukrainians. whoever gets to the west becomes powerless laborers serving the western, the masters are subjected to violence and

exploitation. that is why most and most of them . as for our country, we perceive all this as a war with the west for survival for the future of our country and our children for our identity, a war in which 80 years ago we were challenged by an insidious and powerful enemy who wanted to take our lands and repair them from themselves. calls to break through russophobia to dismember our country, german tanks again, sent to kill russians, calls to hang red stars on clothes for those who do not want to give up russian identity only reinforces this impression and this plan.
