one time that chechnya comes up with that, is when he is speaking. what happens? in strobe talbott's book, on page 55, he says in the beginning of the of administration, people are concerned. people around clinton were concerned, you are becoming too personally committed to yeltsin. you should be more committed to principles and processes. clinton shows he is very indeed committed to yeltsin. he indeed sees this as black against white. game.s it is a zero-sum democracy cannot be a zero-sum game, it is a compromise. if you support democracy, you should encourage interaction between the president and the parliament. i am not saying it was the u.s'' fault, i am saying there is something the united states, with their leverage, could have done. russia has itself to lose, it did not need somebody to lose it. coming back to the priorities, this priority was support for democratic development in russia. there were many priorities, as always, in the u.s. russia relations. i think a very important priority was to make sure the nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons were

and the one time that chechnya comes up in that is when he's speaking about fred kuni. so what happens? and actually in strobe talbott's book, on page 55 -- [ laughter ] he says that in the beginning of yeltsin's administration, they were concerned, people around clinton were concerned to say, you are becoming too personally committed to yeltsin. you should be more committed to -- you should be more serious about principles and processes, and clinton shows them very clearly, indeed, committed to yeltsin and he, indeed, sees this as black against white. he says it's a zero sum game. there. democracy cannot be a zero sum game, it's a compromise, so if you support democracy, you should encourage interaction between the president and the parliament. i'm not saying that was the u.s. thought -- fault, i'm saying that there was something that the united states with a lot of their leverage could have done. but russia -- russia has itself to lose. russia did not need somebody to lose it. now, coming back to the priorities. so the priority, announced priority, was support for dem

that's how they call the national republic in russia like chechnya and so it goes. in 2012 i believe putin got in a couple of places in chechnya 106% and they were unable to understand why we were all laughing at this, that was just great, 106%, right? so they have territories that are under firm control under president of the administration, they do give from 10% to 15% added to the work. however as it was obvious in 2012 when putin didn't get the majority, he got less than 50% in moscow and less than 50% almost less than 50% in st. petersburg. in order for him to be a legitimate president, in order for him not to be called the president of periphery but the president of the country he has to get votes from the people in the russian industrial cities. and that's precisely why the kreml kremlin chose the seniors as a substitution, as a vehicle to get the desirable turnout. the idea was very easy. the idea was that at the when the kremlin -- not kremlin, you know, the central election committee, commission, but, of course, you understand that all of them are just par
