from the book nero or the actor on the throne, the author is valery semenovich durov, a remarkable professor, philologist from st. petersburg, a specialist in roman ancient literature and the father of the most famous prisoner of this autumn, pavel durov. the arrest of paris, the founders messenger telegram, a landmark event. no one embodies globalization as clearly as transnational information giants. they operate outside any sovereignty, their ability to influence people and society is almost limitless. while the erasure of boundaries was considered the norm, from the polyna of communication to applause they paved the way for humanity, but the era of inspired cosmopolitanism is over. states, any consider a threat to stability, what they cannot control their own territory. and the liberal order.

next week in america there is a big event, the debates between presidential candidates kamala harris and donald trump. the outcome of the elections is unpredictable, and some sharp turns are being made. a lot depends on the battle on september 10. the company can be ruined, or it can be saved. harris is not a great speaker. trump is often carried away in a sharp way. from the state of pennsylvania, where the debates will take place, our regular author, dmitry vershinin. one for $25, two for

$40, a little more than two and 3.0 rubles respectively, t-shirts with donald trump are not cheap, quentin from florida, it is expensive to travel for trump, city by city, state by state, to pay for this trip, quentin sells symbols with the face of his idol. the most popular flag today is trump fans. and another one. fight, fight, fight, after the assassination attempt. and of the t-shirts, they most often take the inscription, convicted of serious crimes. trump on flags, vests, t-shirts, stickers , mugs, cars, mobile homes, motorcycles are covered with it. local men see trump as the ideal of masculinity, a strong-willed president with a heavy hand. women idolize him and are ready to kiss him.

image. i love trump, he will give us back the old america. hours-long queue in the heat, hundreds of people.

furnaces in the workshops behind me have not been lit for several decades, the city has failed to rebuild its economy since then has been one of the poorest in pennsylvania: low-wage working class, blue collars, people without a college degree, the core of trump supporters, they opened the way for him to the white house 8 years ago, when pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin, contrary to expectations and traditions , voted for the republican. biden returned these rust belt states to the democrat's piggy bank. thank you very much, thank you all, i love this place, i'm happy to be back here, to this

beautiful commonwealth where thousands of proud, hardworking, true american patriots live. we're going to win pennsylvania, we 're going to win. trump's forte is populist rhetoric, he's promised to solve all the country's problems with a wave of a magic wand before. in his 90-minute speech in jonestown , he promised to lock the border on day one, impose a 200% tariff on everything cars imported into the country, cut electricity bills in half, make the country great again and oblige the government. the only thing harris and trump agree on is that pennsylvania will determine who will be the next president. pennsylvania is a great state, but

it is hard to win and even harder to govern. kamela harris was also in pennsylvania this week for labor day, which is celebrated in america on september 2. harris came to the meeting at the metallurgical. have always been on the side of the democrats, president biden has personally picketed with striking auto workers in the past. unlike trump, harris is counting on union leaders, skilled workers, women and african americans to form a coalition that will be enough to swing pennsylvania. undecided

voters are looking forward to the debate scheduled for september 10, which will be held in philadelphia. dmitry vershinin, for international review, pennsylvania, usa. america's most famous election prophet, alan lichtman, was on our program a couple of times months ago, made his forecast for the november vote, kamala harris will win, well, we'll see, we'll continue the topic of elections after the commercial, now about europe, if everything looks like the wild west, then there is only one law, shoot first.

to fall into a puddle is not a shame, to stain yourself is not a shame. when you go to victory with a pure heart, we will achieve victory together, join your own. so says mayak. the state elections in eastern

germany have stirred up all of europe. polls warned that the parties entering the federal government will experience a failure in thuringia and saxony. and those who are called extreme, alternative for germany on the right flank is a very fresh union of sarah.

paolo lambardi from italy: a very figurative perception of the elections in germany, or in other words, what is on the mind of alice weidel, the chairman of the alternative for germany party. the eastern federal states are a special phenomenon. 35 years after the fall of the berlin wall, the complete unification of the country has not happened. to the amazement of west germans, who until ... believed that the problem simply did not exist, it turned out that there is, and the reason is the unwillingness to recognize

the right of the residents of the former gdr to special status. before the unification, somewhere around 70% of the citizens of the gdr said: no, we are first and foremost germans, and secondly we are east germans. in 1996, more than 80% said: no, we are first and foremost east germans, and only secondly we are citizens of a single country, now. well, the situation is not that big, of course, not 80%, but somewhere around half of the population can say, yes, we are first and foremost axis, and at the same time they don’t want to bring back the wall, it’s just an idea that accept that we are on the axis too dissatisfied with how germany was united, in political terms, this is very important, this identity, but here too there is a subtle point, it is not important that they consider themselves axis, east germans, but whether they consider themselves as this group somehow oppressed, well, not exactly oppressed, but second-class people, second-rate,

because if we look at the voters, it is precisely among the voters of the alternative for germany party, well now it is also the union of sarvo, previously, of course, the left, many of those who believe that the east germans after 30-35 years are still second-class citizens, that they still don't get that respect, recognition.

educate, but it rather gave the opposite effect, because in general people are not very pleased, yes, when their history is explained to them, it is very irritating, and what is interesting is that even this... irritation, discontent, it has already passed on to the younger generation, which did not live in the gdr, that is, they also believe that this country was better than it seems, because they listen to the stories of their grandmothers, grandfathers and so on, and also they come out with some kind of oppositional identity, don't tell us, we know from our parents, grandparents, how it really was, and re-education, in

fact, this is in quotes, it wasn't that well... done, these 40 years that they had, skalina, they weren't very good, yes, you worked for 40 years for an authoritarian state, not a state based on the rule of law, or rather, as they said there, now let's integrate into a state based on the rule of law, and people felt that their past was being erased, they felt that their achievements are not recognized in any way, and naturally , on the contrary, they began to defend the gdr more, and here we get the phenomenon of nostalgia, all these films, museums, where they say that the gdr , in fact, in everyday life was a very interesting, pleasant state and not like it is presented, that is, this re-education was very poorly executed, and it always works poorly when they say from above, sorry, you didn’t think like that, it can happen either from within, or it cannot

happen at all, the result is natural, alienation from systemic parties and attraction.

institute and individual politicians, primarily federal ones, well and for them it is characteristic, of course, to a lesser degree also interesting to participate in political parties, especially in old german ones, that is, i mean the peasant democrats, social democrats, free democrats, finally the greens, here apparently some kind of double situation, on the one hand these parties could not create such stable structures, somehow transfer their yes centers, including to...

worked well, so that with the east germans establish a dialogue. the brightest star of the year is sarah wagenknechit. she announced the creation of a new bloc bearing her name in january. already in the fall, she was being talked about as a likely coalition partner of the largest parties. sarah wagenknechit is one of the most popular politicians in germany, her rating is higher than that of chancellor olaf scholz. having failed to find a place for herself in any political party, she founded her own , which has shaken up german politics with a combination of right-wing nationalism and left-wing socialism, writes the new york times. in less than a year, the fifty-five-year-old wagenknecht has taken off like a rocket in three regions of east germany, where her alliance is gaining between 15 and 20% of the vote, ahead of

each of the three parties in power in berlin. sarah, or rather zagra, inknett was born in the gdr, to an iranian father and a german mother. she studied russian at school and earned money as a tutor as a student. she studied german literature and philosophy. wagenknecht considered the reunification of germany one of the saddest events in history and a personal failure. in 1991, without interrupting her studies, she became the youngest member of the executive committee party of democratic socialism pds, the successor of the sep, the east german analogue of the cpsu, and then joined the so-called marxist platform, an association recognized in germany as the most extremist of all left-wing organizations in the country. ninth, after the european elections, sarah became a representative of the pds in the european parliament, wagendnecht first entered the bundestag in 2009

and soon headed the left faction in the lower house of parliament. an incorrigible stalinist, an iron lady and lady volande mord, as the media calls her, wear vintage, but are sensitive follows trends on her youtube channel, where she explains the political situation in simple terms, more than half a million people are subscribed. in domestic politics, sarah wagentnecht advocates for reforming the german economy and providing high social guarantees for everyone. uncontrolled migration, according to her, worsens the situation in poor areas, blind eco-activism makes life more expensive without helping the climate. like alternative for germany, she is against the outright atlanticism of sanctions against russia. when one of the tv channels invited wagington to debate with the representative of the afd, then instead of disputes there was a peaceful exchange of opinions. because of her position on ukraine, she is called the most hated politician for

kiev. in february last year , the bundestag deputy brought tens of thousands of people to the center of berlin, demanding to stop military aid to ukraine and start peace talks. deal, certainly at the state level, just to prevent an alternative from coming to power now it suddenly turns out that it is possible for germany to deal with her. here the establishment feels a real threat, partly because behind the party one can guess a broader phenomenon, which is usually called the right scene. there is a party, well, in this case an alternative for germany, afd. a-e and there is a right scene - this is a broader concept, and the right scene is not only and not even so much - well, just one party of an alternative for germany, this is what

the germans call forfeld, that is, well , a pre-space, a pre-political space, and these are entire networks of various intellectuals, clubs, circles, organizations, civil activist movements and so on further, because if we talk only about the party, it is one way or another still a bureaucratic structure, which is subject to certain party-political laws - it simply functions accordingly. at the present moment - it is not such a party, not just a party of financial-economic protest, it is a broad party of movement, as the germans say, the vegonks partai, which encompasses, among other things, this space around itself, and this is exactly what... many conservative political activists, intellectuals and so on, dreamed of it back in the 60s, so here in

fact, there is a great depth to this issue, which we often somehow, well, let it go out of sight. alternative for germany is officially suspected of extremism, the abundance of the nazi past, cooperation with it is considered unacceptable by definition, no matter how many... local conditions, some kind of dissolution in the establishment, yes, conditionally such a movement that parodies the cdu of the old format, well,

the christian democratic union, cdu, this is the first tendency, the other, and in general this tendency, in fact, people, representatives of this tendency founded the party initially, another tendency, which, well, it is often called radical, although it seems to me that this does not convey in general. its essence, it is a tendency that opposes this dissolution of entry into the establishment on some compromise conditions, that is, this is a fundamentally oppositional party - a tendency in the party, this does not necessarily mean that the party is a protest, the afd has long been not just a protest party, it is a party with a positive agenda, this is a party, well, of course, a number of some key issues like migration and so on, but these two general trends they set in general, they determine the whole history, and if we look at these 11 years of the party's existence, then there were

at least three major... in the party in 1915, in 1917, in 1920-21, all these three major splits - in general, occurred for the same reason, because there was an attempt to either keep the party from entering the establishment on the one hand, on the other sides to draw it into the establishment, each time this is conditionally, well, let's call it that - an uncompromising position, right? such a fundamental, oppositional position, it has won time and time again - in this internal conflict and it has become stronger and stronger and stronger, and its leader - well, first formal, then informal, is björn höki, who presides over thuringia, in fact, this is the person who has accomplished, well, this is really the first time in the history of the frg, when the right party, it becomes the main force, it

became precisely in thuringia. troublemaker, german donald trump, nazi and open racist. in critical assessments of björn höcke, western media do not restrain themselves. the regional deputy, a native of the state of north rhine westphalia, has repeatedly attracted attention to himself, although he has never held high political posts. fifty-two-year-old höcke is considered the most radical of all the far-right alternatives for germany and its most influential politicians. in 2013, höcke co-founded regional branch of the afd in thuringia, created a right-wing ethno-nationalist wing, in 2022 its supporters took 2/3 of the seats in the federal government. the young man and höcke was fond of scandinavian mythology, was

a member of the youth. organization under the cdu csu bloc , did his military service, studied at the pedagogical faculty. in history lessons at schools in hesson, he quoted banned literature to students and allegedly told about his grandfather's meeting with hitler. he was first noticed on the air of the talk show, when he took a german flag out of his pocket and placed it on a chair, declaring that he was proud to be german. since then, björn höcke has often provoked the public with statements in which. the outraged public hears notes of goebbels propaganda and references to the racial programs of the nazis. for example, at rallies in 2015, he called on germany not only to a thousand-year past, but to a thousand-year future. and in 2017, speaking to the youth wing of the party, he criticized the holocaust memorial, calling it a monument of shame, and said that it was time for germans to stop feeling guilty for

the crimes of the nazis. in the spring, the justice committee thuringia even stripped hökki of his parliamentary immunity, and the court fined him 13,000 euros for using a banned nazi slogan. the politician predicts civil war and disintegration in germany due to migration. he calls for closing european borders to migrants from africa, believing that - quote: their reproductive behavior could lead to overpopulation and become a threat to germany. the father of four children calls on germans to embrace prussian virtues and promotes the idea of ​​social patriotism, state aid only for germans, and proposes to return national currency. as for ukraine, it has the right to self-defense, höcke believes, but anyone who supplies it with weapons is adding fuel to the fire and prolonging the war. the politician advocates establishing a dialogue with moscow, emphasizing that cooperation with russia has great

advantages.
