but then i had to come back because the gorbachevs were coming. and i had to make all those arrangements. and it'very, very, important -- and i would say to anybody -- mine was a peculiar circumstance -- but it is important to have time to just cry, just let it all out. otherwise, you will end up doing what i do and just almost did, the tears come when you least expect it and something will trigger it -- you will start to cry. if you had had a chance to really let it out, it would've been so much better. >> do you think that's just because of your own personal nature? or was it because, again, the expectations aofnd the role of first lady, that you had to come back? >> i had no chance, carl. i mean, i came home from the hospital, and three days later, mother was gone. >> theen the gorbachevs came -- >> there was no chance. it was a terrible time. >> first ladies in their own words continues now on american history tv. ronald and nancy reagan's final chapter together was overshadowed by his alzheimer's disease. their long partnership ended with his

dear comrade, gorbachev everything was fine, then in 1988 , when power in the localities seized the hands of his nationalism became frantic. the enemy of the muscovites in general and the communists have already been found, in particular, ukrainian fascism may be born in ukraine, it needs to be extinguished more embryos. he came he gathered all those he knew all the experience they had have. it’s just that clowns, pr comedians, you can take more for yourself, and because if you tell the truth, it will collapse, all some schemes of his environment will emerge. he puts everything on the hood, you turn your head on. why do you communicate like this? they already understand by smell, not only they also understand the old people in tomsk. he does not particularly bother with the topic of where and how he earns money. he has those who bring him money. what is ukraine turned into a fairy tale of crooked mirrors, so these are the characters. on today ukraine needs a special report guys from the premiere quarter today at the first pentalgin extragel against pain in muscles and joints it contains

couple mchale and raisa gorbachev. join me in a round of applause for nancy reagan. okay, once in water. thank you. well, here we are carl. austin a few friends i was thinking something that nobody i know has as ever asked you at least i've never seen it written or published anywhere or were on television. your mother was a very strong democrat and your father a republican. yes. well, yes, my mother was a very strong democrat. my father really wasn't too interested in politics, but lent lean more to republicans when you were younger. what were your politics or was it something that even interested? you didn't know one thing about it. not a thing and when we got married, i didn't know anything about it. everything i learned. i learned during our courtship and and after we were married obviously, so were you were you first were you a democrat when you i was nothing? i don't say that with pride because that was wrong and i you know. but young people in those days weren't as involved politically and and you should be but truth it was i wasn't. well if your husband had no

which is completely irresponsible and completely contrary to the obligations that were given to gorbachev and yeltsin. i was there in those days. these were clear commitments against nato expansion to the east, certainly not towards ukraine or georgia, so our own recklessness is at the root of unprecedented instability now. meanwhile, a new conflict is brewing in the world and

well, mikhail gorbachev was signed unspoken.hink our people still don’t understand that they are losing their country. after all, there will be no country, all participants in those events, until their last days, insisted that they amounted to an ingenious document, thanks to which allegedly managed to avoid the bloody redistribution of the soviet inheritance according to the yugoslav scenario, and all those interethnic conflicts that broke out in the former soviet republics do not count against the chechen companies, the war in tajikistan in nagorno- karabakh ossetian. the georgian conflict, transnistrian, donbass in the end, because the current situation in ukraine is all from there, and the signatories of the belavezha, and some of its pride and genius, communism died, with the help of the lord america won the cold war. and today , 30 years later, america, through the hands of ukrainians, continues its destructive path, the us government commission on security and cooperation in europe absolutely, without hesitation, holds a

so can you touch how both men reagan and gorbachev were the right man fornt the moment and nancy workedehind the scenes for peace. >>r i don't think it was a great strategic sense on her part she feltt so deeply there were a number of things. she wanted her husband to go down in history as a great president and peacemaker and really believed and also made political sense those who liked ronald reagan were afraid he was to close on the trigger. which she also understood something that many people did not about ronald reagan that along with his harsh cold war anti-communist rhetoric there was idealism. he was a believer in the biblical prophecy of armageddon. he was enough of the idealist to envision the world of new their weapons. that's what not a lot of people understood so this truly was a marriage and they would have an argument where to tone down the rhetoric and was especially disturbed referring to the soviet union as the evil empire and there is a funny scene with the two of them arguing about it over dinner one night but she does understand with gorbachev has a partner who can w

but she does understand that with gorbachev he potentially has a partner who could work with him on this and was absolutely relentless and pushing for this cabinet. over the reservations with these hardliners and her husband's own administration as caspar weinberger says one of the world histories she really had a lot more willingness to trust the soviets and a lot more because she had a lot of faith in her husband's ability as a negotiator. revealing the diagnosis with alzheimer's you talk about nancy and barking on the final chapter of their story and write even her harshest critics would acknowledge the grace and determination she would show when her devotion was put to its greatest test. she would gain a new appreciation never again would anyone doubt that she had fixed on her ronnie for all those years was anything but genuine. she would become one of the most admired women in the country. i think a lot of us watched the way she cared for him as the sort of ultimate expression of their marriage vows and devotion. share a little bit more about that chapter and how difficult it was fo

gorbachev flew to cuba as a treacherous entity. the ussr, uh fedeli caster, i understood a long time ago and therefore the photographer is very clearly fixed. you can find a photo of this relationship on the net, in which gorbachev, with his stupid smile, says something about freedom. you understand his perestroika and fidel castro is looking at him from the side with surprise and contempt. but when i analyze the activities of western leaders and other political pygmies today, i often remember the fire, in general, cubes are a separate, my love. and here, but, but surprise, i don’t have feelings of contempt, disgust and rage, including noble ones, if we remember lines from lebedev kumach's holy war about the rage that boils up, this is connected with that satanic yes cruelty and joy that not only the ukrahunta, but also the fascist experience. under the bombardment of mirny cities of ukraine while destroying the population of ukraine and its infrastructure, uh, social and cultural facilities. well, at the same time, i understand pe

gorbachev gave orders near vilnius near the tv tower to kill people in georgia who killed he is the same as all of them just circumstances have changed just weakness forced him to leave germany weakness forced them to withdraw, and then they placed bets on energy carriers, put the energy country and the west on the hook, and in this way earned money for the war, and now the funds are being used, that is, in principle, the scheme is clear, they are going the way of the soviet union, it’s just that now no one wants to collapse them, like the usa then in the cold war, they wanted to destroy the soviet union. valeria, we have already mentioned lavrov, who is on a tour of africa . in the middle east and africa, maksym sup said that african countries should avoid participating in this summit. first of all, in africa, russia wanted and wants to have a position there, because, first of all, every country in africa is a voice in the same un or in the un security council when african countries occupy this place. then there is the issue of the supply of weapons i think lavrov eh rather, an explanat

gorbachev gave orders near vilnius near the tv tower they are killing people in georgia, who was killinghe is the same as all of them, just the circumstances have changed, it’s just that weakness forced germany to leave, weakness forced it to go back, and then they made a bet on energy carriers, put the energy country and the west on the hook, and thus earned money for the war, and now here they are using funds , that is, in principle, the scheme is clear, they are going the way of the soviet union, it’s just that now no one wants to break them up, just as the usa wanted to break up the soviet union during the cold war, we have already mentioned valery about lavrov, who is on a tour of africa. there is to be a summit between russia, africa and ukrainian representatives, in particular, the special representative of ukraine in the middle east and africa, maksym sup said that african countries should, after all, avoid participating in this summit, what what is pushing come on, by initiating this summit, and is moscow going to use african countries in the fight against a conditional collecti

uh, the last gorbachev was 27 under gorbachev. how much he was simply stunned by this figure. seemed to me that this was all the more so because russia was still a cold war. still, the house had to know all this somehow. this one, from my point of view, reproached for this. he was very sincere. he didn't pretend. what he knew, he said. stunned was just stunned. sorry i did n't know this. these two would catch love goals. we are friends then. moscow, we lived in fourth place, dad, mom and i in a small two-story house, from where i saw how the germans saw the captured germans under stalingrad and this is one of those strongest memories. so, when the russian women, who were separated by a barrier for any occasion from the german officers and soldiers, were obviously afraid that they would attack all these and everything happened differently, but because the generals and officers walked first, and i saw the manocle for the first time. here is this one proudly walking. so in front there are such higher officers, and then the soldiers walked, of course, it looks very unsightly, so t

each other so she does push reagan to deal with gorbachev. finally. they have a soviet leader who hasn't died in office because they had a bunch of them that kept dying and she said they changed premieres like i changed shoes. yes. yeah. he was a personal thing they were doing to you. that's right. so as part of the first summit she writes to raise that and she says when our husbands and i think it's on when our husbands meet in geneva the snowman i'm sure they will have the support of the people in both countries in their effort to put our relations on in more cable stable and constructive footing. i know that we both want to do all we can to improve understanding between people in our two countries and raise a response very positively now what's so funny, is that gorbachev and reagan really liked each other but raise and nancy it was well nancy said, you know it was she born with it because daytime was much more important, but she was glad when she didn't have to deal with race, but just what's wrong with that broad. she was actually about socialism

gorbachev, open this gate. mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. >> i can hear you, the rest of the world hears you. and the people who tore down these buildings down will hear all of us soon. >> last night the united states brought the world's number one terrorist leader to justice. abuakar al-baghdadi is dead. you don't have to agree with everything those three men did. you don't have to agree with their politics, you don't have to agree with them getting elected. at least it was the strong what they did. what's the opposite of strength? obviously weakness. what happens when american leaders constantly show their weakness to their enemies. they watched, they can smell fare. remember when joe biden made this promise? >> america can no longer afford to be absent any longer on the world stage. we are a country that does big things. american diplomacy makes it happen. our administration is ready to take up the mantel and lead once again. dan: that's what he says, but he's always begging. when he only has a weakness he

signs and western europe in the ussr, the runias returned in 1990 with the permission of mikhail gorbachevter his meeting with john paul ii, then the peaceful process of returning the temples seized from the church in the forty- sixth year olga mokhova anastasia popova valery savelyev is typical, ukraine that's all, what we wanted to say. kirill vyshinsky was with you today. good luck to you. we watch to explore the world of educational programs and documentaries we watch for free without registration. ukrainian troops again shelled dokuchaevsk and petrovsky district in the west of donetsk is being hit with 122 and 152 mm caliber shells , more than ten shells were fired in just 5 minutes, according to the representative office of the republic in the joint center for control and coordination of the ceasefire regime. fire today vsu, they have already fired at donetsk three times

i found something at home depot, but this is obviously gorbachev. his visits because no, and i remember that so many people had gathered a long gorbachev, its roots here and stood by the road passage ton. and he had the car stopped and often shook hands with people. you know, he was a beacon of hope for many hostings kreger feler 4 years later in early 1990 there were bananas in potsdam coca cola. freshly ground coffee and the 1st free east german elections. ah, also in 1990 the potsdam memorial with the red star was discussed openly and its future was even put into question among the stuff done. there were also efforts at that time to not only take away the staff zone, but also to redesign the rudeness would include leaving only the conference whole with the rest of the furniture returned to other policies. i talked to few and they wanted to limit the cmc the conference, so often contra inside the crisis. ah, there were national reflections once the wall fell. germans from west and east were bothered by this room. and the juxtaposition of stars and

i think, actually, it was gorbachev absolve. we know that president george h. w.bush and his cabinet ultimately decided that not only would a unified germany remain part of nato, but that nato would have the freedom to potentially expand in the future. what are your thoughts on that chapter? because as i said, it's looming large now, the so-called not one inch. >> the open door policy of nato, which goes directly against the notion of not expanding at one inch, is in fact built into the nato charter of 1949. so, structurally, nato has had this element of it, so we didn't finland are probably going to enter the alliance with the summer on the basis of this policy, the open door policy. that is not a 1989, shift that it is an old policy that has been woven into nato. i think it's perfectly legitimate to talk about the historical record and to go over those discussions and see what was said and what people felt that what they thought about, it that's a legitimate historical conversation. the idea that anything james baker would have said in private is binding or is s

to one of those present at that time at this meeting, was looking at the back of the retreating gorbachev, bob we made it. the abandonment of eastern europe from the allies of the soviet union led to the destruction of the security belt that was and which now we are trying to restore leading. a military special operation in ukraine for examples . you don’t have to look far. take the baltic states, it was a showcase of the ussr with a hugely powerful industry from factories to nuclear power plants. i remember my amazement, when i first came to vilnius to shoot and saw with my own eyes the word bar written in latin letters was delight and pride in my native country, what do you know now? what is the decline in population from 1991 to 2020, lithuania's population decline of 24.5%. latvia at 28 and 3/10% of the outflow of the population, they occupy the first two places in the european union, the country seeks independence for what? in order for the inhabitants of this country to flee from it in search of a better life of earnings. well, well, it's normal, pay attention, before joining the eu

i see gorbachev smogtunovsky sitting in the hall and at that moment i understand that i have gone crazygo out now and do not remember a single word, not a single note, and nothing will work out for me. my throat was tight. i was incredibly scared, but the music began to play. i got out and started. it was a jerk for me some other outer space, because i have become independent i am not in the role. and i am irina miroshnichenko christ , after me, she does not understand how it is possible, she prefers to go with the flow and take everything into her own hands. perhaps that is why she loves to drive a car always herself behind the wheel. once i could not drive through the center of moscow due to the fact that the road was blocked by a truck. it was narrow there and the driver was afraid to say, go away, let me try. he looks at me with horror. i'm a little back and so quietly quietly once with a paw, i drive onto the sidewalk, i put it on and off i go down he stands, such an awesome episode is easy to imagine in a movie, and this is the whole meshnichenko actress her life is a game, and th

and his multiple summits with gorbachev, where the man who had talked about the evil empire reached an agreement and they're in reykjavÍk, gorbachev and -- they get out and shake hands on connecticut avenue. unheard of for a soviet leader. and finally, in red square, where a reporter asked reagan, is this still the evil empire? and he said, no. that was then. this is now. that was another time and another place. and with that, the cold war is effectively over. the next president thought i covered, as you know, was as brilliant and hardworking and produced a handshake on the south lawn between -- i will tell just one little short story behind that greeting. clinton got the two of them -- he told us that later. he got the two of them and the diplomatic reception room, just about to come out the south side of the white house for this event. and he said to both of them, i will ask you to shake hands in front of thousands of people. so, he says, no problem. i'll do it. -- says, finally, okay. but no kissing! >> [laughs] >> true story. ask bill clinton. >> [laughs] >> he will tell you that,

to one of those present at that time at this meeting, was looking at the back of the retreating gorbachevid it. the abandonment of eastern europe from the allies of the soviet union led to the destruction of the security belt that was and which we are now trying to restore leading. military special operation in ukraine for examples you don’t have to look far, take the baltic states, it was a showcase of the ussr, an industry with enormous power from factories to nuclear power plants. i remember my amazement, when i first came to vilnius to shoot and saw with my own eyes the word bar written in latin letters was delight and pride in my native country, what do you know now? what is the decline in population from 1991 to 2020, lithuania 's population decline of 24.5%. latvia at 28 and 3/10% of the outflow of the population, they occupy the first two places in the european union, the country seeks independence for what? in order for the inhabitants of this country to flee from it in search of a better life earnings. well, well, it's normal, pay attention, before joining the eu you should have

but she does understand that with gorbachev, he potentially has a partner who can work with him on this. and she is just absolutely relentless in pushing for this to happen. and over, by the way, the reservations of a lot of the sort of hawkish hard liners in her husband's own administration, casper weinberger said in one of the oral histories i read, you know, she really had-- was a lot more willing to trust the soviets than a lot of us were because she had a lot of faith in her husband's abilities as a negotiator. >> after president reagan wrote his letter to the american people revealing his diagnosis with alzheimer's, you talk about nancy embarking onle on the final chapter. and even her harshest critics would look at the devotion she showed, nation would see another character. and no one would doubt the adoring gaze she affixed on her ronnie on all these years was anything, but genuine. she would become in the country, their marriage vows and devotion and i remember how fiercely protective she was of him in those final years. share a little more about that chapter and how difficult

it was gorbachev yeltsin who turned multinationality into a point of disassembly in russia, and after all , as in the ussr, it can be our strength. and this strategy is to develop the country. it means to combine industry with science and education. this is also the strategy of the communist party of bewilderment. why be rude to the alferov complex, even joining a highly respected university with us, what a lot of such a legacy, how alferov's can be squandered. and this is just a strategy for the global world to defend itself, which means not to pupate, but to attack. we need an alliance strategy. he is afraid of heading the intergovernmental commission with cuba from above. it's all just gibberish. we would like to hear your opinion. thanks for the question. you have touched on an important topic. i believe that the first part of the question was devoted specifically to staffing and the interaction of industry with science. we really got a gap 30 years ago fundamental applied educational science, which is today. a-a spliced ​​returns specialized applied institutes are created by engi

first crime that was committed before yeltsin destroyed the soviet union was committed by mikhail gorbachevern europe for nothing, giving it to be torn to pieces by this hawk. well, this is another proof of the neglect of the fact that there is a feeling of power, a feeling of a person who has won the feeling of a person who at the moment has managed to hit the jackpot to deceive a partner. there is one evidence is the point put by the secretary of state beiger, who, according to one of those present at that time at this meeting, looking at the back of the retreating gorbachev. quietly said, god, we did it. the abandonment of eastern europe from the allies of the soviet union led to the destruction of the security belt that was and which we are now trying to restore leading. military special operation in ukraine for examples no need to go far. excuse the baltic states, it was the showcase of the ussr with a huge industry power from factories to nuclear power plants. i remember my amazement, when i first came to vilnius to shoot and saw with my own eyes the word bar, written in latin letters

we're going to give you a private picture upstairs and it obviously told mrs gorbachev because when i and the russian photographer came in she looked at me and she said what you think we changed in 10 minutes and it's oh, no, you're lovely. but this is a new angle and the head of mrs. reagan's detail tim mccarthy. it's said to me just check and make sure she's okay because they won't let us upstairs. and so i just kind of looked at she winked at me and i knew she knew exactly what my second job was and all was fine. but she was tough. she certainly did want to control what mrs. reagan sawan did and i think we have a picture somewhere where we show that nancy reagan got the last word. oh, so this next picture that you chose kind of from the sublime to the ridiculous. yes. what is this that was part of her just saying no trip down to disney world and it must have been mickey's birthday. and so she's cutting the cake for him, but we really were on the road. i mean several people have asked me if i enjoyed this much traveling and i said, you know, it's not bad, but the air force doesn't g

he was in the screen actors guild and both with tip o'neill and mccaleb gorbachev. he was underappreciated for many regards and one of them was as a negotiator. it's been a fun ride. they are a number of good storiesf that i am proud to be part of the ranks. >> host: craig shirley when you talk about when you talk about israel ideology? >> guest: that's a good question, peter. reagan was never as conservative as conservatives wanted him to be. he was much more pragmatic and much more temperate in his outlook on the world than a lot of conservatives wanted him to be. he negotiated treaties with mchale gorbachev including the elimination of thousands of nuclear warheads and when he ran on the missile in the 1980 part of this campaign was was that we were behind the soviets and we need to t catch up and we needed to catch up to the negotiating table and to agree to reduce nuclear armaments. he was proven right of course and it only took eight years really before we saw the winnins of the cold war and the destruction of the soviet union. >> host: craig shirley in year l

how is gorbachev where did he go said larisa in general so, of course, everything said that it never me that larisa was buttoned up or she was afraid of something, the letter continues to receive a message in the performance of a worker. took the state plans and socialist commitments. well, we continue to fly with us people leading the russian illusionist rafael with this lashvili. good morning. good morning. good morning everybody. who greets this day with the first channel of the studio larisa verbitskaya on the calendar for the week of march 18 , i sincerely congratulate you, vladimir nikolayevich, and you have grown up to come and all the weights, who are celebrating their birthday today. i have my own version of the program. good morning. it started at 30 minutes. and it was such a pilot project within the framework of the directorate of the morning in the directorate of the directorate of the program. that's what it was called, uh, it's a structure. sorry you can. i’ll add you all for a second now speak and such beauty of sound your voice has the purity of russian speech. can i

i see sitting in the hall, gorbachev smogtunovsky and at that moment i understand that i've lost my mindmber a single word, not a single note, and nothing will work out for me. i have a throat intercepted. i was incredibly scared, but the music began to play. i got out and started. it was a jerk for me to some other outer space, because i became independent. i'm not in the role. and i'm irina miroshnichenko and the auditorium and look, you look, you look something. after me, she does not understand how it is possible, she prefers to go with the flow and take everything into her own hands. perhaps that is why she loves to drive a car always herself behind the wheel. once i could not drive through the center of moscow due to the fact that the road was blocked by a truck. it was narrow and the driver was afraid. he looks at me with horror. i’m a little back and so quietly quietly once with a paw, i drive onto the sidewalk, i put it on and off, it’s worth going down, such an awesome episode is easy to imagine in a movie, and this is the whole meshnichenko actress her life is a game, and the

he admitted that he wanted to bring these plans to life back in the days of gorbachev, but then his westernners allegedly did not allow him to do this, while he is sure that washington brussels, unlike moscow, is expanding its influence legally. now news of the economy maria grigorieva masha is joining me good morning. canada nevertheless decided to return to the turbine for the northern stream, 1 rum good morning, the german authorities called for this, fearing the shutdown of nord stream 1. i’ll tell you more about this a little later, but for now, here’s what the nord stream gas pipeline is about today from 7:00 am moscow time stopped for scheduled maintenance until july 21, an official message about the upcoming maintenance appeared on the website of the nordstream operator company ag at the beginning of the month. but in general, the terms of this repair were published back in september and since then the maintenance performed by the shutdown of work is carried out at the facilities of the gas industry, as as a rule, once a year, synchronization throughout the gas logistics production

gorbachev tear down this wall. and and i don't think anyone really knew until he got up on the podium if he was going to say it or not. and and he did and he felt he felt very comfortable saying it i mean ronald reagan when i say that the two halves made a whole he was like the big picture guy, you know communism bad. democracy good and and mrs. reagan was always you know, this is trying to strategically make all work and and he really believed that communism was was really bad. i mean he believed in the evil empire and and and it was great that at the end of the day and before he died and and i know jim said he got his diagnosis in 1974 and it was 1994. but before he got his diagnosis he was able to see the wall come down. he went to the wall and i think that meant a great deal to him. yes, thank you. thank you. so we just have about five more minutes. so who wants to go first? i'd love just to have a last thought about really the the personal side of your relationship with mrs. reagan. it may be a a quick story o
