following the division of czechoslovakia, yes, but again in the division of czechoslovakia, the munichion of czechoslovakia. not only germany participated, which many of us forget, but also poland and hungary, yes, if we talk about the munich conspiracy as a system, we must remember the other participants in this process, without the most active participation of poland, it would have been simply unrealistic for the germans to do this in 1938, this is a very important moment, when in the chain of events, first the munich conspiracy, then the strange war. in czechoslovakia and accordingly in austria and then to start aggression directly in poland, subsequently it ended with germany receiving a fairly large number of european countries and then starting a war with the soviet union. this is a set of whole links, large links of one chain for the development of germany, for its increase in its expansion of scale at the beginning of the second world war. now european historians talk about this much less, naturally, primarily british and french, but the obvious the anti-russian direction of th

the sudetenland was one of the most industrially developed regions of czechoslovakia.e than 3 million people lived in the region. ethnic germans. from the very beginning of his political activity, hitler demanded their reunification with germany, emphasizing the uniqueness of the german nation and speaking about the need for the unification of germany, meaning the return of the territories lost under the treaty of versailles. after the first world war, germany, having suffered defeat, together with its ally austria-hungary, was in a disadvantaged position, this was reflected not only in the weimar republic, not only in those germans who lived within its new borders, but this reflected on the german population in the eastern european countries, the countries of central europe, including those countries that were formerly part of the disintegrated austria-hungary, here the sudeten germans are no exception, in any case, it cannot be said that... these people felt absolutely comfortable in those conditions, they felt that their rights, that their interests were fully taken

and signed the corresponding document, which we always called the munich agreement, and gave czechoslovakiaup to be torn apart, and no matter how pleasant it was. colleagues should not do the same, should not condemn well, why, why shouldn't ours today divide czechoslovakia. the soviet union was generally the last of the major powers that signed a non -aggression pact with germany, before that everyone had signed. this is also a reason to accuse the soviet the union in preparation for the unleashed second world war, german troops attacked our country, on sunday exactly at 3 am our guns opened fire on russian territory, 4:00 minutes after the artillery barrage we crossed the border, at that moment german tanks thundered next to me... 4 o'clock i remember as if it were yesterday i decided to go for a pee like that. swearing over our tents, heavy german bombers and they drop these, we called them potatoes, and all the planes that were at our airfield were destroyed, yesterday we passed by a red airfield in the forest, soviet planes stood in a row, some were burned out, others were badly... in

during the great patriotic war, he liberated czechoslovakia from the fascists. however.ades later, the monument to the famous commander became a victim of the czech authorities' fight against their own history. in prague, it was torn down 4 and a half years ago. in israel, army units brought the readiness. today is the anniversary of the hamas attack, a massive missile strike, the militants' invasion of border areas , the seizure of more than 250 hostages at a music festival. in response, i remind you, israel launched an operation in gaza. the shelling continues today. the idf has launched strikes on military units. virtuoso playing technique and inimitable artistry. lukas shish plays mozart 's piano concerto. at the age of 13, he is often compared to the genius of the viennese classical school. lukas has just returned from a tour in irkutsk, and now he is again inspiration came over me. moscow is outside the window, maestra spevakov is at the conductor's stand. it's just a delight to play with such a conductor, i've known him since i was five, like when i started music,

years, for example, when i studied the roofing technology itself, i found on the internet that in czechoslovakia there is a barn on a mountain, the roof is 200 years old, it still doesn't leak. but again, it is necessary to have good conditions, good ventilation nearby, so that there are no trees, the roofs themselves, made of reeds, they do not heat up in the summer, and a thick layer of reeds keeps the heat in the winter, you can make not only roofs from reeds, it is a universal material in general, studying on the internet all this machines all this cuisine, how... who produces here, the finns found a similar one, here is a vertical pressing, which can be pressed so that the fence does not it will warp, bend, the reed... has a certain thickness that is not translucent, no one will crawl through it, the question is not in the reed itself in terms of durability, but the wire, if you use stainless steel, it can exist in a vertical position for up to 100 years, i saw it on the internet, we studied it empirically, that's what was unclear, i looked closely, i looked closely, my son also looked clos

result of which the defeat of the armed forces of nazi germany was completed, the territory of czechoslovakias completely liberated and with active support. good operational training extensive experience in commanding troops, he was distinguished by high efficiency, exactingness, but sometimes he was too harsh. there is a film dedicated to gorbatov, let's say, yes, it is widely known about him, he is credited there with stalin's phrase that gorbatov's grave will be fixed, leave him alone and so on, this is in films about... then zakharov here is, as it were , less, well, using modern language, promoted, or something in this, although as a commander he coped with his tasks. every soldier who participated in that terrible war, i mean the soviet soldiers, he deserves to be remembered, maybe not in the film, remembered during a speech to schoolchildren in the area where he was born, where he lived or died after the war, unfortunately, in this sense zakharov deserves, of course, all respect, as a person who led such a difficult time for the country, led the fronts, because the front is not entrust

i tried some actress from czechoslovakia and my german ones there, why didn't he like something thenhim fiebner, the director, told me that he was sitting at home with his wife in the evening, watching tv, watching the film "on the seven winds" they showed, he said, i need this one, i need a girl like this, like svetlana, like mine, he was looking for eva like this, yeah, that's why he offered me to star in this film. every day we work to ensure that you receive the latest and most useful information, the twenty-minute format allows us to tell about what is happening in belarus and the world, take a linguistic walk in the company of ours. find a new place on the map of belarus, which is definitely worth seeing, and also offer projects and films that will certainly become your favorites, this and much more awaits you in the project efir 24 on 7, watch on the belarus24 tv channel. who of the children will not be a princess? you can sleep as much as you want, eat delicious food, go to meetings, and no one will say a word to you, how is it possible to have such an admovism, as it was rev

of the strongest in the world, on its account. advantages over the teams of germany, hungary, czechoslovakia and yugoslavia. teams from belarus, russia, kazakhstan and kyrgyzstan took part in the greco-roman wrestling competitions in gomel. why yes, there are no girls among the fans, i am surprised, although it seems to me that this is the very place where , girls should be, in general , heroes, yes, there are belarusian, it is true, a very unique sport. sasha, we know that there is another plot. yes, but before that. i will have for you, well, let's say, not quite an ordinary offer, how about right now to leave the studio and take a walk through our morning belarusian forests, i just wanted to say that in my opinion all the mushrooms should have already been collected in the forest, something is left or something, sasha, what did you forget there, of course, a lot of our belarusian beauty, and we are television, we can do it right now live, the thing is that the gomel region is becoming more and more attractive for tourists, especially popular ... rafting on the river, ecological trails, fi

part of poland, by the way, not only poland, but also the czechoslovaks, by the way, not only czechoslovakiashould switzerland think about this, i understand perfectly well that in switzerland. they have no idea about history, i think, not only europe, the soviet union, but its own, but if such a political decision is made, and this declaration is announced to the whole world, well, it would be possible to clarify at least some facts, a logical question arises, why do not the swiss bring charges of committing an act of genocide against the then leadership of their european partners, their partners now in another vidkur. sophobia. such political engagement of berno confirms the loss of switzerland and neutrality and so actively promoted by its authorities the status of a mediator, an impartial mediator, as they called themselves, an honest broker, a mediator in the settlement of international conflicts, nothing is left of this, they themselves trampled everything there. i wanted to draw your attention to the fact that the website of russia has published a report by the ministry of foreign aff

her family came to this country to escape communism from czechoslovakia. she is a first generation american. managed to get into harvard. get three degrees from harvard. we were on the supreme court. she's one of the most remarkable young women of her generation that i know. she has here today with her, two of her dogs. where are you? there they are. claudia and ann. we say hello? >> wave. >> they are celebrating constitution day with us. >> beautiful. so wonderful to welcome all of you here. maybe say a word of what it is like in front. >> it would not surprise me to get this question. justice, appointed by different political parties, but really, it is exactly the same for them. the job is the same, and they both approached the job from the same standpoint. they love this country, and they are trying to get to the right answer. they believe is the correct and legal answer. this is to help distill the arguments, and talk through it with the justice. this is the same. both have an acute sense of an individual behind the case. initially, this is judge cours

attack us, that is, they pressure us, the poles attack us, well, there even when they annexed czechoslovakiaame, yes they pressure the germans, they speak german there, and we have to protect them, that is, the key thing is to create the conditions when a person feels that he is protecting his own, and then it is not so for them for for for the same way they created for the fascists, the nazis, for the nazis, the same story , why are you going there, and because otherwise we will be attacked, or, well, plus, we still need to create the illusion that you are, after all, by your, i don’t know, birth, origin, you are in... by the way, what is russia explaining to its people in this regard now, why they, we will ask the elite. above, and i am not talking about the regime here, in general, yes, that is, about people from moscow who come to any provincial city in post-soviet russia and explain how one should actually live, so they literally create the same illusion , like hitler during the second world war and created, because that's exactly how it literally happened there the same thing that goeb

that is, we are being pressured , the poles are attacking us, well there, even when they annexed czechoslovakia the same, yes, they put pressure on the germans, they speak german there. and we have to protect them, that is, the key thing is to create the conditions when a person feels that he is protecting his own, and then it is not the same for them as they were created for the fascists, the nazis, for the nazis, the same story, why are you going there, and because otherwise we will be attacked, or, well, plus, you still have to create the illusion that you are, after all, by your, i don’t know, birth, origin, you are higher well, it’s somehow higher, maybe before or before lviv, by the way, and what about russia in this regard is now explaining to its people why they are higher, yes, why higher, and i’m not talking about the regime here, in general, about people from moscow who come to any provincial city in post-soviet russia, and explain how it really should be done to live, so they literally have the same illusion as hitler during the second world war. well, that ’s exactly what happened

the same thing should not happen to ukraine as happened to czechoslovakia after the signing of the munichether we should confront the aggressor, or whether concessions can lead to achieving some result. the munich agreement clearly shows us that concessions did not save the world. at the same time, the czech republic is modestly silent about its role poland in the division of czechoslovakia and collusion with hitler, warsaw accuses the ussr of unleashing the second world war, believes that the molotov-ribbentrop pact led to the war, and poland became a victim of collusion. it is impossible to begin to describe the history of soviet-polish relations, starting from the events of 1945, the german occupation. it must be remembered that the soviet union greatly contributed to the beginning of the second world war, as well as soviet soldiers, together with german ones. on the contrary, it is advantageous for us to remember and highlight the role of poland in the thirty-eighth year, by the way, hungary played a bad role there, but this is just possible, while the hungarians are good, this can be

on the other hand, i'm convinced that if the warsaw pact troops haven't come to czechoslovakia in 68, i'll republic would have been plumbed to 20 years earlier. but that's a different matter. unfortunately, i must say that solar austin, others like him did an excellent job. it is true that if you want to change something, you need to stop with the children and sort of sped, no effort in this regard. i'd like the leadership of the russian federation to quickly realized, though i think they already have that it'd been working against its own objectives . so or else i believe presented everything differently than it actually was. and when we talk about the negative experience of 68, it's also presented differently than it was in reality. another thing is our entry into the european union, which played a negative role. you've probably observed what's happening in the you and the decision making process of its leadership. the unbelievable bizarre things that are happening there have led me to my current opinion. another factor is generational change. my generation has lived on the socialis

so her family came to this country to escape communism from czechoslovakia, too. she's the first generation american and managed to get into harvard and get three degrees from harvard. and then she clerked for both me and for justice sotomayor on the supreme court. and and she's one of the most remarkable young women of her generation that i know. and she has here today with her two of her daughters. where are you? there they are. claudia. and and when you say hello, you guys, we they are. and this is they're celebrating constitution day with us. beautiful. so wonderful to welcome all of you here. janie, maybe say a word about what it's like to clerked for justices gorsuch and sotomayor. it will not surprise you that i often get this question struck to judge says appointed by, you know, presidents of different political parties. but really, it is exactly the same for that job as a same. and they both approach the job from the same standpoint, which is they love this country and they're trying to get to the right answer. they might have different legal tools that t

i saw the fall of communism in czechoslovakia.covered interesting stories i will not bore you with any further but watching the four-person say guilty 34 times, this was high drama in the most significant trial in the 21st century so far. he is a convicted felon, if he loses he will likely be sentenced to at least some jail time. these are dramatic events that unfortunately most americans could not fully understand because there were no cameras in the courtroom. i felt a obligation to bear witness to this. there was so much more going on than the public understood. to give you a couple of quick examples, he was cited for contempt of court 10 times and it was not even the big story of the day. imagine any other president being cited for contempt of court. at another point when trump's witness was giving side i to the judge and trying to's tear him down the judge cleared the courtroom. i talked to lawyers that practiced for decades and they never had seen a courtroom cleared. this was a terribly exciting and colorful trial but only

it goes back to the fact that he married a czechoslovakian woman when czechoslovakia was behind the ironly are they recording those phone calls, as joon said, they have been open to file for him back in the 80s. the time he was trying to open trump tower in moscow, when he brought the miss universe contest to moscow in the 1980s and said, putin loves me. i mean, it is really strange, and someday, you know, when some kgb officer defects, we will find out the true story. >> seven phone calls of vladimir putin. i mean, what are your -- if someone said you can listen all seven of them, what is your theory on it? >> it's funny. what we have heard from calls that he's had with foreign leaders like the zelenksyy phone call, and there was a terrific story in the new york times today about the hamburg conference. in 2017. and what you find about the conversations is that one guy is talking 97% of the time, and that's vladimir putin, and one guy is listening. what was so upsetting as he was coached to go in there to defend ukraine, you have to defend u.s. interests, and he actually asked putin the

the memory of soviet marshal ivan konev in slovakia, under whose command the red army liberated czechoslovakiaccupiers 80 years ago. vladimir putin spoke on the phone today with turkish president recep tayyip erdogan. the head of state discussed bilateral and international issues, including the situation in the middle east, they agreed to hold a separate meeting on the sidelines of the brics summit. the leaders noted that russian-turkish relations are developing constructively and are ready for further close cooperation. erdogan also warmly congratulated vladimir putin on his birthday. a meeting of the cis foreign ministers council was held in moscow today, chaired by russian foreign minister sergey lavrov. his colleagues from eight countries also took part in the meeting: azerbaijan, armenia, belarus, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, uzbekistan, tajikistan. russia, china and india. residents of the border areas of the belgorod, bryansk and kursk regions, who were evacuated from the danger of the ukrainian armed forces militants, will be able to. get a job in a new place under a simplified scheme, the

i mean, you can see them in documents from czechoslovakia to vietnam and has been inspired by our declaration, right? lincoln refer to it all the time during civil war. how are we doing on that equality progress. so did dr. king. all men and women are created equal, they wrote. right? i think we have to ask ourselves individually how are we doing? why are we appealing so much to this law as our solution for everything? i'm not a psychologist or a social scientist but i can't help but think it has something to do with how we view one another. right? if i trust and respect you to make the decisions for yourself and your family, i don't need rules to tell you how to do it. i trust myself to make good decisions. if i trust my local community, if we can make things happen together, we don't need law. those who came into the country in the 1830s marveled that great initiatives would be undertaken by british lords in england or by a government in france. they are being done by ordinary citizens just coming together in this country. hospitals, educational institutions just working together. that was

call it now, zone of influence, zone of influence, yes, poland, germany, yugoslavia, romania, czechoslovakia with the children, so the money was spent correctly, they gave us another apartment later, apartment, because the first child, surgery, second surgery, i said, that's it, i 'm going to die here, i got up at night to air out the eight-meter room, there's nothing to breathe, everyone smokes, everyone who comes before 4 am, it's terrible, abasov doesn't care. i wrote a letter, said: rewrite, write in one, in one column your work, mine go, he went, what do you have, 40 m, apartment, no apartments, we're talking about an aunt, an apartment is an aunt, footage, age, how old is your aunt? aunt, anyuti, probably 60 years old already, what aunt anyuti? oh, i forgot, 40, and the other? business, how many rooms do you have for children, so, two, two, two, yes, betrazh, excuse me, age, 25 and 15, so, the younger ones, perhaps , will be too little, too young, well, that's how it turned out, i understand, but now 15 years is not quoted, everyone wants older, before they gathered, in the mass counci

treaty seventies, then it was said here, the border agreements of the frg with the gdr, poland and czechoslovakiathe tdp, this problem was at the center of not only soviet-american, but also relations, but also of the whole world politics, that is, it was important for stalin to create from the united germany the center of a neutral strip or a second security strip, which would include finland, a united germany and austria, here in the center in the north of europe, here is this second security train, and germany split quite obviously, when, when in in 1948 , trizonia was created in three occupation zones, and a conscious course was taken to split germany and create the frg on the territory of trizonia, well, and the last thing i wanted to say, i want to congratulate the east germans on the seventy-fifth anniversary of the formation of their homeland and pay tribute and congratulate is probably too strong a word when you lose your homeland, how can you not congratulate. it is interesting to talk about this about history, to remember, but my main question is not even the quality of this analogy bu

goes back to the fact he married a czechoslovakian woman when czechoslovakia was behind the iron curtainose phone calls, they have opened a file for him back in the 1980s by the time he was trying to open trump tower in moscow, when he bought the miss universe contest in the 1980s and said putin loves me. it is really strange. someday, when some kgb officer defects, we will find out the true story. >> seven phone calls with vladimir putin, i mean, what are your, if you could listen to all seven of them, what is the theory on it? >> you know, it is funny. we have heard from calls we have known he has had with foreign leaders like vladimir zelenskyy. there was the -- >> yeah, we had that yesterday. >> in 2017. what you find about the conversations is, one guy is talking 97% of the time, vladimir putin and one guy is listening. what was so upsetting, you were encouraged to go in there and encouraged to defend ukraine and u.s. interests and she -- he actually asked putin the question should i be giving aid to ukraine? this is probably the worst presidential negotiation from a guy who claims

i mean, you can see them in documents from czechoslovakia to vietnam. they've been inspired by our declaration. right. lincoln referred to it all the time during the civil war. how are we doing on that equality promise? so did dr. king write? so did the women at seneca falls. all men and women are created equal. they wrote. right. so i do think we have to ask ourselves individually, how are we doing? and one of the questions i have in the book is, why are we appealing so much to these collective impulses? this law? as our solution for every thing? and i think it has something to do. and i'm not a cycle artist or a social scientist, but i can't help. it is i think it has something to do with how we view one another. right. i if i trust and respect you to make good decisions for yourself and your family, i don't need rules to tell you how to do it for trust myself, to make good decisions. if i trust my local community. if we can make things happen together, we don't need law. right. tocqueville, when he came to this country in the 1830s, marveled that gre

and during that here period in time czechoslovakia was on the table. now, ukraine is on the table saying miller type of things happening here. history is not exactly repeating itself, but it's certainly rhyming at this point. >> we don't know. maybe donald trump is giving the greenlight by the cia. you don't know it's gone on behind closed doors in it? in briefings, we don't know so i see it is going to give donald trump the green light to talk to vladimir putin jim, maybe they are, we don't know whatever >> all right. >> guys. i don't know. i don't know. i don't know. agree to disagree. alright. david david colonel leighton, thanks a lot. appreciate it. spirited discussion. thanks a lot. all right. >> coming up, family members of the menendez brothers are holding a press conference today. we're learning about new evidence that could lead to their case getting reheard. that's coming up before election day vice president harris bases voters do pressing questions lie. anderson cooper moderates a cnn presidential town hall. >> kamala harris next wednesday

back then, czechoslovakia. q the same would be true for russia, which was very important to the creation of a russia service. and i will add parenthetically that in the early 1980s, i was head of the russian service of radio liberty. so i actually worked in munich in the building that president eisenhower played such an important role in creating. also ukraine. we now have this vicious war against ukraine. the ukrainians service was created. radio liberty to serve as a free and independent ukrainian radio station. broadcasting to the ukrainian part of the soviet union. these were fundamental whole tools that were supported on many different levels. historically, if you are interested in the radios, i certainly would give a plug from my own book, which is called cold war radio. university of nebraska press, 2022 just came out about a year and a half ago. there are also other books, obviously, on on the radios. if you look at youtube, fb, you will see a familiar some of you actually my my age, my generation. and

as chamberlain said of czechoslovakia?rch a london based iranian journalist was stabbed outside his home, with the suspects fleeing the united kingdom immediately afterwards . it was immediately afterwards. it was also the islamic republic that put a fatwa on the head of british author salman rushdie, which culminated in his near murder in 2022. things come back to britain in addition to instability, having all sorts of risks in the middle east, where, of course we get a great deal of oil from. but iran's desire to harm extends far beyond israel. iran is an enemy of the west and israel is fighting this war on our behalf. it is our proxy. if iran wins, we cannot be so naive to think that it will end with israel. we are all in this war together, which is why we must support israel in its war against the true coloniser of the middle east, the islamic repubuc the middle east, the islamic republic of iran. as always, let me know your views . me know your views. mailmogg@gbnews.com. but i'm pleased now to be joined by the israel

czechoslovakia with the finns with the czechs, there has never been. to fight, to push, that's all theyo be cleaner, i mean, there were fewer clashes, less dirt, no one could specifically hit someone there, you say such things, the seventy-second pops up and bobby clarke hits. he understood his task completely differently, he was given the task to turn off, even at that time the great clarke at that time could not cope with valerka and he, you see, gave him the coach to turn off, and for them the coach is god, if you don’t do it, will you play or not, that’s the question, he... it was such a push for the development of world hockey, it was after the games of 1972, uh, the league, i mean the nhl, began to pay attention to european players, before that they considered us, well, so everyone came there, after that all the teams immediately began to leave europe, the swedes, the finns, the czechs, us, they realized that... decent teams and decent players play in europe, they are due to this, inviting our hockey players, they raised their level. festive concert for teacher's day, broadcast fr

and and i managed to find my way to czechoslovakia and i was on my way to africa.ut was captured by the the fbi was not the fbi. the state department's agents, the state department's arrested me and brought me back to united states in september 1969. i got to. new york. they put me in a federal house, a detention, and at the federal house, a detention met martin sastry, who i know anything about. martin sastry i'd never about him, but he was one of the foremost prison organizers for prisoners rights in the united states. and he was in new york city because he was suing the state officials at the new york state system, where he was located. and he was suing them for the rights for prisoners to receive literature radical and controversial literature receive to actually unorthodox relations to have a social and cultural society inside the prisons and so forth, all of which seemed to the prison officials and even most of the prisoners as outlandish as just impossible to me in. but that impossible would certainly become the inside the prison system. so i'm talking about

it goes back to the 1980s, the fact that he married a czechoslovakia woman.e calls, as jim said. they opened a file from him back in the '80s, trying to open a trump tower in moscow, he brought the miss universe contest to moscow in 1980s, saying putin loves me. it's really strange. some day, i hope, when some kgb officer defects, we'll find out the true story. >> seven phone calls with vladimir putin. i mean, if you -- someone said you can listen to all seven of them, what's the theory on it? >> it's funny. we have heard phone calls that he's had with foreign leaders, like the zelenskyy phone call. there was that terrific story "the new york times" today about the hamburg -- >> yeah. >> in 2017. and what you find about the conversations is one guy is talking 97% of the time. that's vladimir putin. and one guy is listening. so it was so upsetting about the hamburg thing is that he was coached to go in there. you have to defend ukraine. you have to defend u.s. interests. and he actually asked putin the question, do you think i should be giving aid to ukraine?
