he is not a lawful as a boris yeltsin or what a bunch of sometimes where and she changed. i think fortune that we have now is very different from fortune that we've had between the year to solve. sometimes the to 1000 age is for us to with drums in for. and she is very different from the one who returned to power off to mid vegas presidency in 2012. it's a very symbolic that we have to they, they university. ok, me is the unification with rush, a new one who was in great me at the time. anyone who watch television can testify . the people who are genuinely happy. i mean, read the western press of the nineties and the 2 thousands they will write, you know, people in the crimea, a russians, they want to be with russia. what is that? what is the, the situation as regards this phone? because i've heard you say before, it's more of a possible a plebiscite. exact on an actual at presidential vote. of course we'll have a president at the end of it. what is it a photo as well and how successful people think, flooding or putting has, has done with our lives where we are executive,

probably mikhail zadornov really congratulated the country on the new year instead of president boris yeltsin. in the last days of the existence of the soviet union, people especially needed support, and the head of state, as the humorist ironically noted, worked hard. and the guards kept running to him for additional documents. the past year was rich in events; it is enough to remember the last month, when almost every waking up every day, we asked ourselves in which country we woke up today, the ussr, the cis. it’s interesting that the politicians changed all the letters in the new name except the letter g. if the school had taught the history of humor, i think you would have passed it without any problems. thanks a lot. marina gavrilovna, we understand. that philip kirkorov is our everything, but the entire editorial staff will root for you, you will become better, we will come to visit you, and if you lose, we will settle philip and his family in your house. in the meantime, on march 9, we are glued to the screens watching the most fun battle stars on domestic television. what a joke, suc

he is not to allow for both as a boris yeltsin or what a bunch of sometimes where he is not an extreme is nationalist. indeed, he appeals to a southern part of the liberal incent just the electorate, because he has been advocating market economy for many years. he is not as in a full, she speaks 7, i look forward in the language just, she's russian and at the same time, your opinion, you have a good sense of this word. so i think that's the secret of here's one, give it to me and she changed. i think fortunately that we have now is very different from fortune that we've had between the 2010 the to 1000 eighty's for us to with drums in for. and she is very different from the one who returned to bore off to make vegas presidency. in 2012, but we're still dealing with unique times for him because, and not only is it a new constitution that he's able to possibly come into power for 6, possibly at 12 years. he's also dealing with a public who have seen the ukraine conflicts at cove. it a lot of different issues coming in. what is that, what is the best situation as regards this field? becau

mikhail zadornov actually congratulated the country on the new year instead of president boris yeltsin documents. the past year was rich in events; it is enough to remember the last month, when almost every day i wake up. we asked ourselves what country we woke up in today, ussr, cis, it’s interesting that the politicians changed all the letters in the new name except the letter g. if only there was a history of humor at school.

and turnout was estimated at levels not seen since 1991, when boris yeltsin won the election after theuld show that there is a united country behind putin. ask. you know, vladimir vladimirovich’s victory has many components, very important components. it is clear that this is the unconditional support of the country, an unprecedented result. an outstanding turnout, it’s easy to think that compared to the previous presidential elections, millions more, more than 10 million citizens came out to vote. something prompted them to do this, and this is very important, it is clear that this is the very situation in which the country finds itself, and the need to say yes to vladimir putin, but there is one more important component: for 24 years putin has been healing the country from the sleep of reason in which we found ourselves some time ago, sovereignization is underway... there has never been such a level of consolidation, i generally think , that the factor of stability of the stability of power a... b. its legitimacy and the citizen’s faith in it, faith in the results of choice, this is

putin was withdrawing troops from kyiv when vice president sense boris yeltsin over there to tear upreement. this was not about stopping putin from rampaging across earth it is a war about the extension of nato into ukraine, which we should not be doing. our greatest diplomats have condemned that it was a mistake. president biden did mention one issue that he has not mentioned before that i was very happy about which is the housing crisis in this country the fact that young people can't get into a home, his allusion, however, i think, was, i would say, a cynical solution, which is a $10,000 gift for the next two years, in other words from, now to the election. >> laura: the problem not to interrupt the problem is inflation. rents have been high for some time but they skyrocketed when he -- he could have just opened the economy in january of 2021 and it -- we would have been off to the races. instead he borrowed trillions of dollars more. printed a lot more money, that helped drive inflation. and drove up the cost of everything. so, it's easy for him to say now oh, inflation is high w

the turnout was pointed something not seen since 1991 when boris yeltsin won the election after the sovieton's collapse. it is intended to convey a message putin has a united country behind them, but there are a great deal of doubts about some of the results that have been seen in the country. tom: just expand on that a little. you were giving us the context in terms of how significant or the size of this apparent support in that is historical context going all the way back to 1991. is there any real sense that there is oppositional put back -- pushback? >> in many regions what is called administrative resources were deployed to ensure state workers should have been voted the right way and places like moscow and st. petersburg there were extremely high votes and turnouts in his favor. there is very little actual opposition on the ground since the death of alexei navalny in prison, though there were protest at some polling stations that were quite marginal and opposition to putin has been suppressed by the the kremlin which has been cracking down on dissent. tom: thank you on that important

just need to change the concepts, instead of lenin and stalin creating ukraine, you have to say, boris yeltsinwhich, by the way , is true, because yeltsin created... it, but in for some reasons we are not doing this, it is still possible to get out of this situation by carrying out denazification and demilitarization of the entire ukraine , but we may not be able to get out of it by moving on to the next negotiations and during the negotiations limiting ourselves to very vague ideas of the russian donbass and russian new russia, and not only because , that the boundaries of these formations are variable, but because outside these formations there remain huge russian expanses and millions of russian people. yes, and ukrainians too, if you like, we must think about them, we think about them, we remember about you, relatives, forgive me that not everything works out right away, your mystery. wonderful, you are perfection, i understood this as soon as we met one day, people are constantly moving around you, bright stars from the sky, you receive a gift, i open it. soul, they let you into the heart
