who fought against the bolsheviks were liberators but they in fact were bandits and robbers they have seen documents listing real estate that belong to jews killed in ghettos i think their property should be returned the amount of reparations claimed by latvian jews around sixty five million dollars the country's government says that they will continue to hold talks with religious leaders in order to come up with a solution however those in power draw their support from nationalist groups who are far less diplomatic when it comes to the issue of the lottery an administration is not responsible for the night you're doing and the holocaust began our country was under occupation by definition lightly and i thought at least cannot be responsible for actions of occupants local jewish leaders say that they only want what was stolen to be returned however they realize that this may be difficult with current attitudes in latvia while they wish we need the property to solve our social problems like develop education culture if it meant say no synagogues and cemeteries of course it's hard to fi

and in some revolutions, when the bolsheviks took over, at the revolution in iran -- is that still a concern? >> it is. how many revolutions can we think of starting in december? none, pretty much. there is an amazing sense of springtime rebirth. and france 1848, february, march, and so on. summer is a tough time. the crucial thing to bear in mind -- this cannot be sustained without playing -- paying attention to social and economic issues. a lot of what motivates people right now, especially cents -- lest we missed the point -- there's a huge spike in food prices creating trouble. the revolutionary moment presupposes this wonderful, but unrealistic optimism that votes and liberty will put food on the table. guess what? it does not. when does the disillusionment happened? this euphoria and brotherhood is not making anyone's life materially better. it is a danger when the hard man drives guns and tanks. >> i will come back to that. i want to come back to the question we raised there, which is the surge of media, the new social media. was that really useful for you organizing yourself,

the old bolsheviks. at best, the military officers is the snow were killed. in fact, the great terror was a masculine action, directed at normal soviet citizen. the largest group of people to die for the so-called kulaks. like it was meant a peasant who had somehow survived other forms of soviet repression and might thereby -- therefore oppose the regime. the second largest of the victims in the great care for members of law national minorities and this is the subject of chapter three. the bloodiest national action was the polish action, which took place largely in soviet ukraine and deliveries in which more than 100,000 people were individually shot on this various charges of being spies for poland. that concludes the first period in which the soviets are killing and germans are killing on a much smaller scale. the second. it appeared between 39 and 1941, when the germans and the soviets join together as military allies. germans use the cover of this alliance to invade countries and france as well as some of scandinavia and of britain feared the soviets inva

was it the the bolsheviks system was that lennon was it himself or somebody else i mean these things have to be discussed openly in a fair public debates it's not a question for courts to decide thank you very much for your time. the more people we killed the happier our officers were it got to be like a game like to see who could chill the most people and the different ways you could prove maybe peace killed would be i tell you no here's now if you brought back some serious you know where we have the most years they will get the most fierce in trainers should be reduced overnight human children in five men around the circle open zero zero zero automatically there are sixty. three saying about rape by six or seven people. most of the deliberately. we use special old french an excess recruitment. they are ready for a free place. to turn off warm air became their gravity. in situ than those people who were hurt in the previous life. much to so many in a free flight. world. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've got the future covered. me it is eve e

seven the great terror or in our own country in style and are also well they are taught on our bolsheviks but. the same in libya illicitly. is not so clear because up to my view step by step. two years later five years later ten years later maybe twenty five brothers most will take power in their hands. and absolute it was over the restoration of one of the key because the the the royal family of living here they live in london and they say they're ready to come back to. the knows what would all be for some period maybe there was such a discussion about the afghanistan but we remember what was the was the taliban movement or was pascola moment also some religious and the ultra religious groups in college and was army maybe in college was a local tribal leaders maybe in college and was more maybe a step by step they'll move clue is than a zation of all this and then we'll have the situation where we're. over the last week several hundred russians have been taken home from the turbulence situation in libya spotlights the media has more in. the uprising in libya is during the into the bloodi

the bolshevik party at the mesa on that decision they made karabakh part of as a big john of course the population and people of new gono karabakh did not agree with that decision but the soviet leaders replied that they did not have any borders between the states and they were only territorial administrative borders we all live on one country where the. president asks the conflict of the early hunting and his claim for thousands of alarms but even if after a cease fire was reached down to ninety four the death toll continued to rise last year we heard about several azerbaijani soldiers killed at large border clashes what's going on a global scale. who has led to her version of what's important is that the cease fire signed the ninety ninety four has practically been maintained up to the present day certain incidents you've mentioned to actually take place to avoid them they were suggestions from the international community the o.s.c. aid the cochairman of the miscreant supported by mania on undertaking measures to consolidate the ceasefire pull out the snipers from the line of contacts

though world and they were important and world world -- been world finance and in russia where the bolsheviks would soon take the country out of four and act chaim weizmann subtle prompting the governing elite drew what seemed to them to be the logical conclusion in order to win the war they needed the support of this powerful if subterranean group in order to get their support, they must win over the zionist and to do that they must offer palestine. hence "the balfour declaration" this was chaim weizmann extraordinary achievement based on the absolutely colossal bluff because we all know the jews did not represent a vast and powerful subterranean influence and certainly all jews were not zionist. let's see where we go to now. through the mcmahon and hussain correspondence great britain had one arab support and allowed the leader of the rebellion grand sherif hussain to believe the that britain would support the establishment of the independent carob came down. historians and partisans argued who did not believe from the outset we could leave that alone it is indisputable he will sega but in

that they were important in world finance, that they were it looked as though bolsheviks would soon take that country out of the war. at weizmamn's subtle prompting, the british governing elite drew what seemed to them to be the logical conclusion. in order to win the war, they needed the support of this powerful if subterranean group. in order to get their support, they must win over the zionists. and to do that they must offer them palestine. hence, the balfour declaration. this was weizmann's extraordinary achievement, and it was based on an absolutely colossal bluff because we all know the jews did not represent a vast, powerful, subterranean influence. and certainly all jews were not zionists. so let's see where we've got to now. through the mcmahon/hussein correspondence, great britain had won arab support. they had allowed the leader of the arab rebellion, the grand sharif hussein, to believe that britain would support the establishment of an independent arab kingdom. now, historians and partisans argue over whether or not the arabs believed from the outset that palestine would be

the bolshevik ties. there you go. how does it feel to be talked about like you are not in the room? let's put all options on the table. ok, great. got it. want me to speak slowly so you can transcribe? let's put everything on the table. make sure you put your own name in the quote. we are in sunshine. so i can't go into details regarding the notice of proposal but there will be ample opportunity to mr. levin's deny it -- the like to comment on that. let's work together to try to keep the best results. >> next question. >> i want to ask those the government have the authority to regulate that and if so where does that authority come from? the government does have broadly speaking jurisdiction over the internet and such going on. the antitrust concerns and so on but the fcc has limited authority. on the fifteenth anniversary of the 1996 telecom act, internet is mentioned a few times. not a lot but a few. when congress did not act to give authority to the regulation of network management, that was evident. events of the section 706 is deregulatory. the management order of december 21st

union or with spying against the soviet union for the british because he wanted to bring on the bolshevik regime. that gradually populated all activities to such an extent that he was blinded to the necessity of intelligence gathering, the bigger picture and began mixing politics and intelligence which in his case had fatal consequences. the trust lured him through. this is one of the unfortunates. there was a man in the baltics, slightly detached at this stage when he comes back. he says ok, probably safe for you to go in to this particular moment and he never came back. the trust is an example of a successful soviet operation against penetration by m i 6 which it did not succeed at that moment. >> and under s i s orders was final? >> he was not acting on central as i s orders. in this final period as a spy -- >> he was flying so low. >> in the years between the end of the first world war and between the beginning and middle of the second world war, the mi helped the united states developed and the can to have a early development. what underscored that development? part understand the ge

stalin never let the bolshevik revolution. lenin did.l sees himself as somebody who brought humanity to what he would describe as liberation. mao was the one unlike stalin who fought the americans to stand still in the korean war. after mao's that's a rather rotund and awkward man called liu shaoqi succeeds him and mao has very little respect for that particular person. now when he goes to moscow in 1957 and liu shaoqi openly proclaims that the soviet union has -- is going to overtake the united united states in the production of butter, milk and other dairy products, mao jumps in and says we will overtake england. you may overtake the united states but we will overtake england, still seen as a major power within 50 years. he states his own prestige on the great leap forward from socialism into communism. but most of all of course, what mao really wishes to demonstrate is not the ability of the country to overtake england but to actually outdo the soviets to show that mao or stalin in the past have discovered that bridge to communism. wh

street journal" the reviewer compared the islamic revolution of 1979 in terms of its magnitude to the bolshevik revolution of 1917 and said that is how important, how consequential that event was. the 1917 revolution, we know, brought in lenin, soviet soviet union, the cold war. it's hard to imagine a more important event. and he claims, and i don't think he's off, that the islamic revolution and, thus, the fall of the shah was an event of of equal magnitude. so, in my view, understanding the shah is very much about understanding today. it's about understanding iran today, and it's about understanding why we are where we are today both domestically in iran and in terms of iran's relationships, troubled relationships with the u.s. i think if you ask any book reader in the english-speaking world, i suspect any part of the world, and ask what are the three major or problems about iran, they would point to iran's nuclear program, iran's democratic movement, and they would probably point to events of august 1953 as a turning point in u.s./iran relations. august 1953 is when the government of -- [ina

that's what happened with the bolshevik revolution, that's what happened in the iranian revolution. then it's new regime. >> rose: not so? >> we don't know. we don't know whether the military will side with the people or maybe the military may yet come in and try to bolster up the hosni mubarak/suleiman regime. >> rose: is i it significant that suleiman and foreign minister gheit have suggested that if chaos prevails a coup is a real possibility? i'm interested in those comments but the question is to what extent do they speak for the egyptian military? there's a gap between the top leaders and the uniformed officers before him. at the top they grew up under nassar, they trained in the soviet union. below that they grew up under sadat, they trained in the u.s. at the top... when the regime goes, they go. among the uniformed forces they will probably be around with the next government, be it a suleiman government or protestors government or whatever. they have an institutional interest that's distinct and they also have a variety of economic interests. the army here does a lot of bus

called an age of moral and realism which, of course, eventually opened the door for lenin and the bolsheviksthe breakdown of liberalism that vomited up adolf hitler, and it was the breakdown of the centrist liberal establishment in the former yugoslavia, which i covered for the new york times that gave us the repugnant figures. the failure of the liberal class has grave political and social consequences because that rage, when it has nowhere else to go is expressed through mechanisms that make war on the traditional liberal establishment and are easily coopted, as the tea party is and has been, by the very forces that created this direction and sita wipe away the last remnants of liberalism. and so the question, obviously is what we do? what must be done? there is an interview in the book with daniel berrigan, one of my great heroes. i come out of the religious left. my father was a presbyterian minister and we sort of had a habit of being thrown out of one church after another. first for his stance is on the civil-rights movement and then the anti-war movement and finally the gay rights mov

then the bolsheviks came in. that trumped everything. we know what the result of that was for the next several years. 75 years. i remain optimistic, but it is a scary time. could this be taken over by an islamic group? yes, but i think the people of egypt at this 0.1 -- at this point are doing exactly what they need to do. i do not think they will have the same president a month from now. the question is, who will be their leader? there are a few people who are acceptable to the protesters. they have a shot, but they're going to design a constitution in a country that has no history of democracy, design of parliament. this is a heavy, heavy left. -- heavy lift. i hope that the new majority in congress will really think about what our aid money does. we have been in egypt for a least 10 years and to media for five. -- tunisia 45. we have a dialogue with those people. we have worked with them for a long time. i think there are virtually no parallels a ball with the iranian revolution -- at all with the iranian revolution. we do not know wh
