hello kirill vyshinsky, and this is a typical novorossiya program, our name says it all, we are talking about the territory that has returned to its historical roots about novorossiya with the help of a careful look at history. we will try to reveal the originality of her present day, find both typical features and recognizable

signs of the past. and that's what we'll talk about today. strategic support on the southern flank 240 years of the history of the russian crimea crimea and novorossiya as a factor of russian foreign policy for the sake of exploits, but for the sake of what the fate of the scout svyatogorov begins with. this year marks the 240th anniversary of the annexation of crimea to russia for centuries, the peninsula played a strategic role for each state one way or another, the greeks who possessed it made chersonesus modern sevastopol the main outpost. in the north

sea, the byzantines used the crimea for their influence on eastern europe; later, the ottoman empire used the crimean khanate to influence moscow and the commonwealth, playing on the contradictions of these major european states until 1783. turkey considered the black sea to be its internal lake, but after the peninsula became part of the russian empire, russia already claims dominance in this region. the annexation of crimea , the creation of new russia, became a serious push for russia to the south, even after 240 years - this is a strategic line, the black sea is perfectly visible - this is access to a large geopolitical space to the caucasus and the balkans, the mediterranean sea to the countries of the middle east, according to most historians, access to the southern seas was

much more important for russia than to the baltic, other expanses and prospects opened up here . this seriously worried britain and france, the intervention was inevitable and ended with the crimean war. today, as from a century ago, crimea is still the main bastion of the country's security on the southern flank, uniqueness in its military-strategic position? the one who owns crimea controls the entire black sea with all its coasts the fleet is able to get to any point of the water area in the shortest possible time to intercept any enemy naval expedition to the southern shores of russia , and the appearance of hypersonic missile systems only increased the military importance of crimea from its

territory today you can control the balkans of the transcaucasus near east and everything, the eastern mediterranean was spoken today in the west, crimea is historical and rightfully belongs to russia, one can argue about how correct his assessment is, how unsinkable russian aircraft carrier in the black sea, nevertheless, the peninsula has been and remains a key link in ensuring the national security of russia in this region for civil air traffic , a 37-kilometer

air corridor for central europe with its sky overloaded with airliners is specially closed in case unprecedented in the course of maneuvers , an air offensive operation is being practiced on the territory of donbass and crimea to control these territories, the long-held dream of the fan alliance was preparing and conducting a corresponding event in order to make crimea e its territory. not in the sense of the state, of course, but in terms of control in sevastopol, several uh real estate objects were already being prepared for the uh american intelligence services to start working here. and there was a common goal. oust the black sea fleet and sevastopol, that is, the main thing is that it was literally, but a few days, if not hours , when the events took place in february march and 2014 , then in 2014 russia unexpectedly confused all

the cards crimea returned to the russian federation following a national referendum, but the result of such a democratic expression of will to the collective the west did not like it, because it destroyed a consistent plan that was patiently put into practice for the last three decades after the collapse of the ussr , the creation of a belt of unfriendly states and military bases around a potential adversary, that is, in russia, the so-called anaconda method, first tested in the united states back in the years of the civil war between north and south and which became the basis of the modern anglo-saxon geopolitical strategy, the naval forces of the united states of america, possessing great power, expanding somewhere against the continents. in this case, there is eurasia , this anaconda method was carried out by creating military bases of some other power bases, that is , points, so that everything would compress this one. the enemy has come and his ability to make trades economic operations reduced his military

capabilities, if we look at the current situation, we will see that this method of anaconda is embodied in reality. and the fact that crimea has returned to russia is the most important fact , which, like a system, destroys this chain, but this chain, link by link , continues to build an extra confirmation of this finland officially, which joined nato in april. because of this, the line of our contact with this block has increased by 1,200 km. and of course, longtime members of the alliance estonia latvia or lithuania which is already talking about blocking the gulf of finland and arranging problems with logistics between st. petersburg and kaliningrad poland, which is trying to revive its concept between the seas of a century ago, in fact, a cordon sanitaire from the baltic to the black sea between russia and its most important partner germany finally, turkey which, with all the current treaties' ability, still remains a member of nato, and as it shows. it is sometimes difficult for toriya to maintain constructive relations with russia because of the constant pressure

the biggest success of the west, uh in this region uh in russia uh, was the enker from the kilisian treaty with turkey that is 830, in my opinion, the third or thirty-fourth year. uh, when the two powers without a war, and there were only 2 of them, the black sea turkey and russia agreed on mutual control of the direction and so on, what do you think england france is not a single pound of goods that did not pass through these straits and are thousands of miles away on this coast did not recognize this clause. and that's when the movement began. this is my opinion of the crimean war with the beginning of its turkey which, in accordance with the 1936 mantoux convention, has sovereignty and dardans, closed the straits from the black mediterranean sea for military ships, but for russia having a powerful naval base in the crimea this is more a plus than a minus of our ships on alert, but

the nato way here now actually ordered. this is the deepest part of the oceans that has sunk into the land. so the black sea straits. this is one of them from the black sea , access to the world ocean, and the passage through them is a dead end to the coasts of the black sea powers, therefore, any change in the balance of forces in this e creates a threat to the military security of the black sea powers. possession of crimea is a key element of security in southern russia, but not only a full-fledged naval force in this region - it is also control over the waters of the eastern mediterranean and regions such as the balkans and the middle east. well, and so from practice the ship. came out in the morning the next day. he is happy in a day, he is already in the mediterranean sea, in a day two. he is already the eastern mediterranean in now known to the whole world

tartus, it's not that the ships will go 2-3 weeks from the north or from the baltic in order to reach these points, but the eastern mediterranean sea of ​​​​the middle east is the political kitchen of the world on the pro. heartland or get close to russia russia, and here one point is very important that, uh , the geopolitical borders of a country or civilization must be protected no less, thoroughly, than real borders and in this sense, alternatives to sevastopol. none by depth by relief by wind rose by the length of the water area - this is an ideal basing site that allows ships of large displacement to enter and leave the bay in the most convenient direct course , i must say that since the crimea became russian

, we have significantly increased the ability to ensure our security in southern russia, there is now sufficient to solve the problem of the black sea fleet in ukrainian times. we had only one alros submarine now seven. we have new frigates, new carriages there. not to mention the fact that crimea is a crossroads of civilization and cultures at all times, the most important center in terms of logistics, by the way, a hypothetical project, the so-called forty-fifth parallel road from great britain to india at one time also ran through the peninsula, but remained on paper maps in the upholstered leather offices of british officials. and when they say crimea is ours, it means that in the end, our crimea is not for that, russian sailors, heroically held the first and second defenses of sevastopol in order to ask him later, as they did in their time in belovezhskaya pushcha anna efimova valery savelyev anastasia popova is a typical new russia. on the historical and

strategic significance of the crimea and whether it will change in the near future, we will talk with our permanent expert, historian , political scientist russian ishchenko rostislav good afternoon. good afternoon rostislav in the 18th century, when did catherine get to the crimea after a long journey? uh, then potemkin showed her first of all the oktyabrskaya bay, struck the stopol bay and the fleet today, in the new geopolitical conditions , the meaning of crimea will somehow change large sevastopol to control the black sea for strategic overall control over the southern flank of the russian empire of the rural union of modern russia has always been realized is realized and will be realized from the crimea you can control not only the middle east, with which you can control the entire european part of russia to moscow in that number and place. fleet and if

the enemy controls crimea, then with a photo on the black sea you can say goodbye to him , they will shoot him before he leaves his bases in fact, as far as crimea and its e communications with russia are vulnerable today, how can this affect the role of the island during the war? everything is relatively vulnerable, that is , to cut these communications or cut them for a long time. ukraine is now not in a position to jeopardize movement along them. well , she has already delivered it, because, in principle, ukrainian missile systems are finishing off there. ukrainian drgs operate there. it is clear that this does not interrupt the connection of crimea with russia through the population of the crimean bridge, but again, there is a certain vulnerability. she is not strategic, that is, there is, well, there is a certain psychological pressure, besides until then ha, the border of russia

has not been pushed deep into modern ukrainian and , in principle, these southern russian territories on this border may turn out to be a strong enemy who will threaten to invade tavria and thus, when knitting a land bridge, therefore, it is certainly necessary to move the border further, at least the rear ones are better in general in the area communications under ukraine e did not develop not only the peninsula, but even the naval forces of ukraine, which were based on the peninsula, however, if under poroshenko they did not actively try to return the crimea to the presidential one, it became almost the number one problem for ukraine why is zelensky trying to return the crimean language, but his rhetoric has become definitely more active than under poroshenko, of course. the less you can physically. the more you have to work

rhetorically, poroshenko was to become the main idea to regain control over the tired part of the donbass and crimea didn’t worry him so much, because, in general, for a long time yes , ukrainian nationalists proceeded from the fact that crimea is, in fact, good to break, that it only harms ukraine because there are too strong pro-russian sentiments. it is clear that, uh, if you won poroshenko in donbass , everything would not be limited to donbass. the crimean operation would immediately begin to prepare, because the americans are interested in the strategic crimea, and zelensky has the opportunity to return the crimea and return the lost now, that at the first stage, the word of territory does not have a question for him, how many territories he will lose, during what time ukraine and power will never end at all. is it worth it to be afraid of this rhetoric of zelensky, take it seriously, you should not be afraid of what they don’t say, ukraine, eh?

i realized and i think that ukrainian partners are abroad. they realized that they could not win the war on the battlefield and that the war could not be won economically, and they brought the main efforts. in recent months, the sphere of psychological pressure, everything that happens at the front, all the provocations that take place in our rear , all sabotage terrorist acts. so, they are aimed at, uh, increased psychological pressure on russian society, so that panic and such threats arise. how serious they are and uh, fundamentally for crimea , ukrainian allies go to the bank. here i have it, the united states is distancing itself from this in principle and has actually given it away. here is the escalation of the situation in ukraine over their own great britain. this great britain broke down and now says you will be able to use ukraine's erabolic missiles in fact, the medium range is effective, that is, more than 500 km. and this is equal to practical placement.

the territories of ukraine are beyond the window of medium-range nuclear weapons, because all these missiles are capable of being equipped with nuclear warheads, and no one will believe that ukrainians have been trained and given control of missile systems of such power and such range. this means that western settlements will also be located there. that is, this is actually the beginning of the caribbean crisis the danger is not that it is a rocket. maybe it will fly most of the rocket. in any case , shot down means, and the danger is that it actually means a transition to the brink of a nuclear confrontation. all this leads, uh, to a new round of tension, moreover , russia is already western in relations and brings these relations to the brink of conflict, moreover, direct armed conflict. than immediately not tanks , guns, planes, but missile weapons capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. thank you very much for a very detailed story. the famous song

what the motherland begins, a kind of hymn to patriotism and love for one's land was written to the verses of vladimir matusovsky, a native of lugansk, for the film shield and sword. this is a story about the soviet intelligence officer alexander belov, who during the war years destroyed the adver intelligence school and several senior officers , the song in the film appeared thanks to the consultant and prototype of the main character , the legendary intelligence officer alexander svyatogorov. in search of suitable poems , the director of the film, vladimir basov , asked for the opinion of a consultant svyatogorov suggested that the main most difficult moments. the scout does not think about himself , about who he risks for and accomplishes a feat about the motherland about close people about his home then basov found very subtle and lyrical poems by matusovsky.

scout alexander svetogorov knew perfectly well what he was talking about. there was more than one successful operation on his account, not only during the war years, but even after it, materials on many of them are still kept under the heading top secret, however, historians call his name among the participants liquidation, leader of the ukrainian nationalists stepan bandera in the fifties in munich, and also in connection with a daring operation to seize the secrets of israeli fashion ciphers in prague , the beginning of alexander svyatogorov's professional path was closely connected with novorossia before the war. he worked in zaporozhye, where he was a young komsomol member and was offered to join the people's commissariat of internal affairs about the legendary soviet intelligence officer in the story of olga mokhova on the set of the film shield and

sword arranged a meeting with intelligence officers and only then they said which of them was at one time, basov could not remember for a long time what he looked like. that's when he understood. what should be the main character of his film. here was a very interesting image of a scout, so seemingly inconspicuous, but with such an inner core. eh, as if very intelligent, but at the same time, at first glance, no matter how you determine it, yes, that it is he who is a scout for this inner strength. in alexander svyatogorev himself, perhaps they drew attention to the nkvd at the height of the repression of the thirties of the last century. he refused to slander a colleague, convinced of his decency, and already in the thirty-ninth , when a large-scale reform of the head of the shop, plant, zaporizhzhya began in the authorities, steel was invited to work there, instructing the revision to do, repressed in times and years. yezhov was, especially on the territory of ukraine , a lot of people were repressed. well , by the way, and, of course, the employees who

considered these cases were less biased towards the people who suffered and , for sure, there were people who went to freedom and thanks to svyatogorov with the advent of leadership. the nkvd of lavrentiy beria not only had a purge of personnel, but his policy changed, the people's commissar seriously took up strengthening the potential of soviet intelligence and counterintelligence before alexander svyatogorov got into this secret structure. at the very beginning of the great patriotic war, he, as part of a special group of the nkvd , worked in zaporozhye, the chekists were responsible for the evacuation of residents and mining enterprises of strategic facilities, the fight against marauders, and after the city was occupied by the germans, they carried out sabotage against the nazis, later in the occupied kharkov , the intelligence network created by svyatogorov ensured the operation to undermine the headquarters of the major general. georg wehrmacht. brown has such a point of view that hmm, from the military commanders who most determined the victory, three can be named, which means zhukov

konstantinovich konstantin konstantinovich rokossovsky and uh, ship payments to pavel anatolyevich the whole partisan movement, it did not spontaneously arise. it was precisely purposefully organized in the occupied territory - this is the merit just the fourth department of the nkvd was paid here until the very liberation by the soviet troops. kiev in november 1943, svyatogora carried out the task of conducting reconnaissance sabotage activities against the nazis, trained partizans during the retreat, the germans left a powerful intelligence network in soviet tula, for which training in intelligence at a school in polish lublin was very important. yes, but enemy reconnaissance, uh, to destroy already existed a partisan detachment of rear severity, which acted in that including on the territory of e, poland e and, accordingly, svyatogorov and his e, comrade, valenko, hmm, were parachuted over the front line. they mean they found this partisan

detachment. and they began to prepare the ground for the fulfillment of the task assigned to them, the story of the introduction of a soviet intelligence officer into the lublin intelligence service was included in the film cunning sword. only in it, our hero alexander belov gets there under the name of an ethnic german, johan weiss svyatogora called himself a former fighter of the ss division galicia, such a legend looked quite plausible for contacts with the command. he took the pseudonym majorzorich from yugoslavia, there was some employee with the surname zoric e , who, with whom svyatogorov and zorrovich were friends, apparently died in the forty-second year and svyatogorov. just used his last name like uh, actually a pseudonym. this is gurov for alter falenogauer, personal assistant to the chief of avro-admiral canaris, about fascist slovakia, major zorich svyatogorov participated in the liberation from captivity of the czechoslovak, communists and organizations of the national uprising. in bratislava under

defector legend. he worked for several years in 1961. he was urgently recalled due to the threat of failure in that year chekist bogdan stashinsky, the liquidator of the leaders of the ukrainian nationalists, the lion, the rabbit, and stepan bandera, fled from the gdr to west berlin, and he was an employee, just a holy mountain. here he worked in his department. well, and since, uh, there was a court, and where he stated that he, uh, uh, carried out the liquidation, and almost nothing was made for him, the decision was so unprecedented that no matter how he was guilty, because he carried out the will of the criminal kgb of the criminal soviet union, that is, from now on. by the way, according to this precedent, they began to release nazi criminals, who surrendered to the authorities of the frg, stashinsky received for two murders. in total, and after he was released from prison ahead of schedule and his trace was lost alexander svyatogorova, upon arrival in moscow

, was dismissed in 1967 , yuri andropov became the head of the kgb on the fiftieth anniversary of the formation of state security agencies. he personally initiates the state order for the creation of the work fiction and films that ennoble the image of the soviet chekist. thanks to andropov's initiative , the state security archives for a short period of time opened limited access to some files on the operations of the soviet foreign intelligence , and the facts of the biography of alexander svetogorov were revealed. they entered the plot of the book by vadim kozhevnikov the shield and the sword, and then the script of the film of the same name by vladimir basov . they walked, as if in parallel, then there is one, for example, the session was there the first and second series there, the boys tried to hide there in the cinema somewhere under the chairs to watch, at the same time, the third and fourth series. and in general, i know that they watched eight to 10 times. e quoted.

in general, they were in love with these heroes in the list of leaders of the soviet film distribution. the shield and the sword took eighth place in the year of release , it was watched by 68 million, viewers alexander svetogorov, in civilian life after his resignation, was engaged in security at the institute of cybernetics of the national aka. the demiya of sciences of ukraine passed away in kiev in 2008. in 2023, an outstanding intelligence officer with a colossal track record would have turned 110 years old olga mokhova anastasia popova valery savelyev is a typical novorossiya. that's all we wanted to talk about. kirill vyshinsky was with you today. see you soon.

having abandoned the soviet past, it was necessary

to fill this gap with something . mostly. here in the camp they are given 10 signs of ukrainian nationalists, children who were zombified at school for 14 years. does it translate as murder with meaning?

hello. with you, the senate program, my colleague virakrasova and i, vladimir nesterov , will tell you about the key events in the federation council, about how the work of senators affects the development of the regions of our country . more about everything right now. from brest to vladivostok 10 forum of russian regions of belarus cooperation, which is reaching a qualitatively new level, the number of such documents is already in the hundreds, and the effect from them.
