gorbachev called him up on the government will collapse within two weeks for the reason gorbachev did that is bush called on his own without anyone asking him to call your friend appear and tell him to get off the stick and open the port up or else. gorbachev did it. there was no famine. there is no famine. the foreign ministry or the state department call gorbachev directly to do it. and then the point is there's a lot of stuff that happened. it's not even in the book yet. >> me switch gears on both of you. i'm starting to take some questions that have been submitted to us. this comes from tom and washington university tomas a good question, did president bush have any regrets about any of his major foreign policy decisions after he left the presidency? so both of you not only served him, but continue to be friends of his. any regrets? any second thoughts on the decision? is not in the white house very much. he was upset with what was happening in afghanistan. we weren't really able to create a climate where they have institutions of government that would not be subjected to the tali

nearby was a photo of gorbachev at the ranch in a stetson, a gift the president in it gorbachev looks clueless. he had put the cowboy on backwards. reagan doubt prayed for him to. in in the recent book and applebaum describes the soviet strategy for seizing totally totalitarian control of eastern europe. after world war two, the soviets had four immediate priorities. they created an extensive secret police that used violence against regime opponents. they took control. the mass media, the radio. they forcibly uprooted minorities and they suppressed or put under communist leadership every of civil society, including and especially churches. they envision the eradication of all organizations. the first government to adopt such a vision soviet religious police relied on surveillance, regulation, co-option and atheistic education. sounds like. the chinese today actually this these tools were used in varying degrees from stalin's reign reign of terror and khrushchev's to the more selective persecute between 1965 and 60 and 85 and straight through to the end of gorbachev's glass nose. initi

here but i believe that i still fulfilled some part of the duty to the country, unlike gorbachev.s. volodya i don't want to drink nato's expansion to poland right now, well, at night physically drunk. yes, he took cancer during the war and surrendered yugoslavia. yes, well, he took crimea when we didn’t take it, of course, that is. well, just listen, we can judge, but i, frankly speaking, i, frankly speaking, am not a court assessor. here yes, i let's appoint you a comrade of the hearing, when i was appointed then, so to speak, and i will, but i 'm not talking about this now, the precedent that they are guided by was formed then, and not now. and by the way, since 2007 putin has become the destroyer of this precedent. uh, against what and we were put under unreasonable pressure. now their greed conquers fear. they saw. this is now the opportunity to solve the almost 800-year-old problem there. the development of russian territory without russians because europe without russian natural resources of water and everything else is doomed to clothe a miserable existence. they know it an

but then i hadar to go back because gorbachev was coming.ll of the t'arrangements. that is very very important i would say to anybody, mine was a peculiar circumstance but it is important to have a time to just cry, just let it all out. otherwise, you'll end up doing what i do in on the study, the tears come when you least expected and something will trigger it. and start to cry. but if you have had a chance to really let it out, you would've been so much better. >> you think it's only because of your own personal nature of the expectations of the reverse like that you had a comeback. >> i had no chance carl, there was not well i came home from the hospital and three days later, mother was gone. >> and gorgeous but gorbachev. >> there was no chance. it was a terrible time the first ladies in ourur own words, they continue south making history tv. >> ronald and nancy reagan's finals chapter together was overshadowed by his alzheimer's disease and on partnership ended with his death in 2004, at the age of 93 in her devoted care led to a shift

and gorbachev himself, is because he trusted bush and the makes a big difference and it is not widely understood. i wanted telloo you a story and you mentioned my favorite story we do not put in the book, we need another book of like what we did in africa and latin america and possibly to write in latin americanic the guy at the last minute we never got it done. which ie regret it anyway there was a famine developing in 1990, because the drought in a civil war and cohen was the secretary of state pressure any i worked closely together in the civil war's we could not get food into ethiopia because this is said humanity food there a blow up all the barges and then another resident - a rebel leader then said if you bring in food all blown up because i don't want any food people because others will get credit for it and we said hundred send a note to the white house said we been trying to get this both sides and i couldn't do it. this interest for now, he called me up and he said valerie a story and i'll message you know, say you just announced for humanitarian reasons he's opening up rep

but then i had to go back because the gorbachev's were coming.rrangements. it's very, very important. and i would say mine a peculiar circumstance. but it is important to have a time to just cry. just let it all out. otherwise you'll end up, up doing what i do and almost did. the tears come when you least expect it and something will trigger it. and you start to cry. but if you had a chance to relate let it out you would have been so much better. >> you think that's because of your own personal nature was it again expectations that you had to come back? >> i had no chance, karl. i mean i came home from the hospital and three days later mother was gone. >> the gorbachev's came? >> there was no chance. it was aor terrible times. first ladies in their own words continued now on american history tv. ronald and nancy reagan's final cancer together it was overshadowed by saul tom's disease along public defendant with this death of 2004 at the age of 93. her devoted care but to a shift in her own public image as americans watch with admiration. in that

gorbachev doesn’t talk like that anymore, of course, with his mistakes, very serious mistakes, mistakesicy, mistakes in domestic policy. for example, i am a serious mistake of the national policy in the eighty-sixth , the first secretary of the communist party of kazakhstan, kunaev, was dismissed, the recognized leader among the asian republics from moscow , gorbachev's friend from the komsomol, kolbin, leave everything as it is or appoint local leaders? if 15 republics make up the soviet union, but the basis of the foundations of this is still the same, but a healthy national policy and on this basis, as a matter of fact, the soviet being - this is the ideology lived. and when it has already become a serious mistake to allow, uh, in relation to one republic to another republic in almaty, riots begin with the demand for self-determination of the troops were not, in addition to the fact that none were published. this was the first blow to the very existence of the soviet union, which at that time. he completely refused to apply it, as they carried him out of the office, so as not to show

then chernenko mikhail gorbachev proclaims a new course for perestroika and glasnost works worse thanrestroika. well , i remember that he said that this is how they took mikhail sergeevich unanimously. me too i voted under pressure, which means i started politics, but i don’t understand my activities, i don’t understand what he does. yes, supporting the need for reforms, aliyev believed that first it was necessary to think over the concept of where the country would move, a long-term, carefully thought-out and calculated reform strategy was needed. that means alcohol policy. after all. i also remember, so with what means so, well, inherent. uh, in the worst times, the command of the administrative system took measures in order to prohibit, uh, the production alcoholic beverages to prohibit their sale cut down the vineyards. including in my native azerbaijan, more than 70,000 dollars of vineyards were cut down, which are ahead of my work. they were planted there. it's like a knife went through my heart like this. well, is it possible to wean people in such an administrative way? from t

and sakharov went, but later it became known that when gorbachev said to sakharov, you, you, you, you are free , you can return to moscow to take your apartment on he has a back apartment big academicians have always had big apartments that's why, instead of saying thank you very much, mr. general secretary or comrade general, well, i'll leave, and many people will remain, among whom, for example, mustafa dzhemilov, and he named this very last name, and several other names of people who were not in exile, but in prisons and will not be imprisoned . prisoners throughout the entire soviet union, and political prisoners told me how it happened in their prisons, and vyacheslav chornovil and levko lukyanenko and serhiy, all who sat on the sidelines and whether and whether exiled or in in the prisons , they told me how it all happened. and it all started precisely from the moment when gorbachev rang rang sakharov and sakharov's birthday today we also celebrate, in addition to the fact that today is the day of remembrance of the victims of political repression and ihor kulyk , director of th

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

in order to avoid arrest, you evaluate gorbachev as the leader of the country. to gather around him? everyone wanted to shake his hand, ask questions and make sure that he returned , the republican authorities were forever in shock at the time, the government, of course, was very afraid of his presence in baku, realizing that before his authority and before the attitude of people towards him. in general, no one can resist he was not given the opportunity to live in baku in his brother's apartment, where he settled, now and then threatening calls are heard. aliyev is given a day to leave the city of taina by mail plane. he flies to his small homeland. here he is back. the people settled. there was no big sister so that the representatives of power who replaced one after another were afraid of aliyev's return to politics. well, if our soviet union is now falling apart but if the party is falling apart. that is , everything that has been created over many decades, and new ones have not yet been created. nobody knows what will be new. 90-93 year, conditionally , eve

talking, listen, gorbachev has long been gone.ich will say when gorbachev was there. i didn't say that, because the question is different there. let's make a point the first is to change the decree first. we need to make a plan for its application, work it out fully, develop it, approve it, and a decree will be reported to it from above. so, based on what was said just now, i listened to you attentively to the end from what they said now, it is necessary to make a supreme plan. and then he will sign it for you. this is how the key word is to convince exactly completely, and therefore it is necessary when the people who, firstly, are developing these weapons, convince. secondly, he knows how to apply it, there is already a nuance here, because somehow it’s not strange, but it is society that at some point in time feels the need for a subtle movement on the body. i think the society after that can then say so. this is how this decree was for us then 3 years ago people people. no, i love people. no, it's just there. i, like, democrat

an important part of this letter is a warning to gorbachev not to fall.says from the alliance with the soviet union, today in the governments along with you, who show their heart for the country and the people, they will never be willing to consume more than these underground and surface resources of their country to prove the success of communism. a superpower of the world, in a quick conclusion, i would like to announce that the islamic republic of iran, as the largest and most powerful base of the islamic world , can easily fill your system's disbelief, and in any case, our country believes in mutual relations and respects it, as in the past. ali 1167 ruhollah al-mousavi al-khomeini page sadr al-din filter citroën c tri, the legendary goalkeeper, later interviewed the reporter of central news agency about this historic letter. in my opinion, ayatollah khomeini's message was for all ages throughout history. when i received this message , i felt that the person who wrote this message he was a thoughtful and compassionate person for the fate of the world.

we will not discuss why mikhail gorbachev did this is not the point now. i wanted to say something else. look today, monuments to banderi are being erected. his streets, avenues, and so on are called squares, and so on in poland, monuments to russian soviet soldiers are being demolished by the liberator, and it seems that it has disappeared from memory that 36,000 poles were exterminated by bandera gangs, and in total more than 6 million poles were destroyed by the germans and all this is forgotten and no one else doesn't want to remember. what wilhelm keith or the head of the high command of the wehrmacht said, the polish intelligentsia, the nobility and the jews should be eliminated, while hans frank , the governor-general of the docked poland , said more should be considered as colony poles will be slaves of the great german world empire. well, as we see it is absolutely unimportant for those who rewrite history for those who turn over. history and everything is done according to the same methodology. then cats today bucha listen to the word katyn comes

what is mikhail gorbachev for? did? look today, monuments to banderi are being erected. his name is given to squares, streets, avenues, and so on in poland, monuments to russian soviet soldiers-liberators are being demolished, and it seems that it has disappeared from memory that 36,000 poles were exterminated by bandera gangs, and in total , more than 6 million poles were destroyed by the germans and that's it. it has been forgotten and no one wants to remember. what did wilhelm keith or, the head of the high command of the wehrmacht, say to the polish intelligentsia, the nobility and the jews should be liquidated, and hans frank the governor-general of the occupied poland spoke more about how a colony of poles would be slaves of the great german world empire. well, as we see it is absolutely not important. for those who rewrite history for those who turn it upside down. history and everything is done according to the same methodology. then cats today bucha , listen to the word katyn comes from the polish root kat wording. this dualism is the study of the entire kadensk

an important part of this letter is a warning to gorbachev not to fall into the trap.after the end of the communist era and the withdrawal of countries from the alliance with the soviet union he says that today in the governments aligned with you, who show their heart for the country and the people, they will never be willing to consume more than these underground and surface resources of their country to prove the success of communism. a historic message to the leader of a world superpower. at the end of the series, i announce that the islamic republic of iran, as the largest and most powerful base in the islamic world , can easily fill your system with unbelief , and in any case, our country believes in mutual relations and respects it. count and hello ali khoda 1167 ruhollah al-mousavi al-khomeini, sadr al-din tab, citroën c-3 filter with sadarat bank, later interviewed the reporter of central khabar unit about this historical letter . in my opinion, ayatollah khomeini's message was for all ages throughout history. when i received this message, i felt i realized tha

in 1987 gorbachev came to america and. i was covering gorbachev and he met with businessmen in new york. so i called the business man afterwards to see what gorbachev said. and i called donald trump and i called him before the meeting and after. so before the meeting he said, we can't trust russians. they're totally untrustworthy. the you know, we can't have anything to do with. and then after the meeting, i called back and he goes, i love the russians. they're so great. i love them. i said, what happened? he goes, they want to build a trump tower in moscow. so then kept in touch with them and he loved do lightning rounds where you just mention things in the news. not so much politics, but just different things that were going on. and he'd give you a one line answer and you know, interviewed him all those decades that never, never occurred to me he won't be president because mostly he would say, like, sadly, heidi klum is no longer a ten. and then this one time he goes howling barry well, her face is a a the upper to the w

left certain consequences in the heads of people , negative in relation to the soviet union and gorbachev's statement that it would be a different soviet union. and we saw that absolutely nothing changes, we all see only empty statements did not affect ukraine. that's why the ukrainian uh, most of the ukrainian people , especially in kyiv, the capital of the revolution , is taking place. as you know, there was such an attitude towards this document in the capitals. my grandson brought the phone, he heard it faster than me, well, i i slept soundly and now i sleep well, but then i slept very soundly younger, i was so sleepy, i say yes, and it was somewhere at half past seven and historically i always get up at 7 o'clock now and so 100 does not know that there is already a coup in moscow no turn on the radio i turn on the radio on the radio is saying that something happened in moscow and so on and so on, i heard it, but i must say it seriously, analyze what they are seriously trying to do here , mr. er, comrade varenikov , he came because of a violation of the kcp and wants to meet with you, i

and engels lenin that the oblivion of their precepts served as the basis for the mass betrayal of gorbachev yeltsin and all these corrupt criminal companies subsequently, an activity that today is obvious to everyone bloody tragic and we owe it it is imperative to correct the man of the soviet world, was formed in the difficult overcoming of the petty-bourgeois lifestyle. first of all , it ensured through education in the collective and through the collective the public interest was the basis for the education of soviet patriotism and socialist and internationalism. the nationalist was a historical nonsense man of the russian world of our historical friendship for the soviet man. he became an unacceptable prince. october of the seventeenth year saved russia from a trajectory disastrous for a multinational country set by big business, when by the beginning of the 20th century there were different relations in europe , nationalists were established all over the planet. here, nationalisms of various stripes entered their heyday, then russian black hundred ukrainian belarusian, georgian appeare

there was a flight meeting at which the first attempt was made to approve gorbachev as general secretary come out the next day with the general opinion of the members, the politburo had already failed in captivity. and it was decided to re-discuss this issue the next day, march 11th. decision that changed history the largest country in the world was adopted the next day, and at the suggestion of andrei, otherwise gromak, mikhail sergeevich was elected to israel. in january 805, when the chernyanka’s health deteriorated sharply, secret negotiations between representatives of gromyko and gorbachev began, and an agreement was reached. that gromaka, as one of the oldest and most authoritative members, the politburo will take the initiative to put forward gorbachev as general secretary, and as a reward for this initiative , gromyko will receive the post of chairman of the president of the ussr, that is, the legal head of the soviet state and for virtually a year. of all the tendents, mikhail sergeevich and the most such long-liver remained. difficult missions, such as in 1986, when the collis

gorbachev called the visit a turning point in bilateral tensions, the cold war was weak, but the processto be a one-way street the us soon set its sights on gaining unilateral advantages and dismantling the entire international security architecture. that was the day in history. it's okay, you'll be fine. yes , you can’t cope, you can’t cope from here, you can’t see the coast, we need to hit the norwegians to them , we’ll cover the antenna with a bucket and we will send other coordinates. normally, the prison is not afraid without a word. there's nowhere to hide here. i didn’t understand what you want, or something, crossed and secured everything with a storm 10 points is coming. everything is the same. and the film by boris khlebnikov i did not understand, are we really discussing surgery right now? song high sabotage danger, how to destroy the enemy in the zaporozhye direction our correspondent is working on the spot. meets with management. this is the eighth country for sergey lavrov in africa in the first year. the first mandatory use and the most massive, how many schoolchildren are

of ministers of the soviet union alievich aliyev precisely because he could compete with the same gorbacheverate strong people, his departure next to him unconditionally weakened the management of the soviet union, and then subsequent decisions similar to those carried out by gorbachev and the betrayal of the political elite of that time led to the destruction of our united country , where we were all together, according to vyacheslav everything for his motherland to become sovereign thanks to him and vladimir putin, a powerful foundation has been laid for the development of relations between russia and in azerbaijan, he raised a wonderful son who carries the same traditions. also strengthening relations with our country and doing everything to ensure that friendship and peace reigned in relations, dida aliyev attached particular importance to the establishment of good neighborly relations with russia, the chairman of the azerbaijani parliament from agiba stressed. gafarov. he managed to effectively use all the potential opportunities for the development of cooperation between our countries

gorbachev called the visit a turning point in bilateral relations as tensions eased, the cold war sethe process turned out to be a one-way street before the us set its sights on gaining unilateral advantage and dismantling the entire international security architecture. that was the day in history. i really want to visit khitrovka khitrovka is not only beggars. hiding there, fugitives like rejection bandits and murderers creepy place, what's wrong with it? i'm thinking who could kill him did not climb. you are an investigator. yes, he is undesirable with me , you will have to forget about that suit, don’t even hope. so easily you will not get rid of me man. we look to learn the world of educational programs and documentaries. look. m. okay, without registration to answer when even the president is directly threatened, the enemy of our people goes by name. is it possible to consider that even now our patience is being tested, but it is not unlimited, when even fighter jets are promised , escalation is unacceptable, we ask questions that concern all people, but also the most important p

left the council of ministers of the soviet union precisely because he could compete to the same gorbachev, who did not tolerate strong people, his departure is unconditional nearby. he weakened the management of the soviet union, and then the subsequent decisions were similar, carried out by gorbachev and the betrayal of the political elite. togo time led to the destruction of our united country, where we were all together, according to vyacheslav volodin, after the collapse of the soviet union, heydar aliyev did everything to make his homeland sovereign thanks to him and vladimir putin, a powerful foundation was laid for the development of relations between russia and azerbaijan raised a wonderful son, who carries the same traditions, also strengthening relations with our country and doing everything to ensure that friendship and peace reign in relations . deidara aliyev attached particular importance to establishing good neighborly relations with sagiba, chairman of the azerbaijani parliament, emphasized russia. gafarov. he managed to effectively use all the potential opportunities for

gorbachev called the visit a turning point in bilateral tensions, the cold war had begun, but this processe a one-way street before the us aimed to gain unilateral advantages and to dismantle the entire architecture of international security. that was the day in history. yakutia is a vast territory of a real natural reserve, 30% of the untouched nature of russia and 10% of the whole world are concentrated here . the republic is the largest subject of our country. and also the key climate regulator of the planet is the area of ​​​​forests, here they exceed 250 million hectares. it is more than four france 38% of the territory of yakutia are specially protected natural areas. in december 22 , the republic took second place in the ranking of sustainable development of the regions of the arctic since 2019 in yakutsk, the northern forum on esg is being held. large business over the past 5 years has allocated 37 billion rubles. for socio-economic projects in the region, most of the e companies are large companies operating in yakutia, they are all in the top 20 companies of russia e by lot, and

have a language you need your conscripts to serve in ukraine, we will come to an agreement with gorbachevpolitics and the creation of your state , but in the end the soviet union collapsed. well, that's why i believe that it will also collapse one day and the russian empire will disintegrate into national states, including a national state of some kind, will moscow have ethnic russians, or i don’t know who else is there in muscovy, or those peoples who came there and work there in various uh by drivers or is it already there or garbage is collected somewhere? well, it seems to you that now half of moscow is not ethnic russians, but in the end the moscow empire must be destroyed and our such hmm ambassador to the politicians to the forest establishment of the political that is the biggest guarantee that we will live in peace and calm and we will be economically developed, this is the mind of the russian empire - this is the return of our ethnic territories that are now in russia, that are actually occupied by russia, this is a decree of the national states that are now uh, from those natio

war , in which gorbachev lost because he did not have popular legitimacy.ular intimacy, and that's why now he is in this regime standby he understands i understand that society as a whole has come to terms with what is happening and says ok let's move on uh and they are not ready now for uh defeat and that's why he can still continue to do what he's doing that 's why if he found it briefly he hopes in your analysis of the situation in belohorodshchyna and with belohorodshchyna, you noted that it is unlikely that this is about some kind of successful military operation, although it should be noted that we spoke in spanish with the guy and he said that with the task of an average raid such as the textbooks are the actual occupation and the capture of certain objects on the territory of the enemy, in addition to everything else, this obviously did not happen, well, don't say that several villages are objects that are important for us in the military plan , but the actual information you write opens up for us excellent prospects, since the information rear of t

in fact, he communicates with gorbachev.erhaps with yeltsin he takes experience, of course, if necessary, let him go for a third term. uh, comrade baidenko, the fund must go, uh, in accordance with your desires and views. uh, future realignment the disconnected states of america will only be safe . not a sesha, yes or a commonwealth of independent states in the future. i i think it's a member of the brix by the way, yes. everyone , individually, will become members. brix here is another international conglomerate. correct good. yes, where our esteemed north american partners can go, including. when you remember, the leagues have certainly become a phantom structure, of course. yes, yes, then it appeared. yes, of course, and by the way, he is. i think so. even fate is waiting for the league of nations in the end. i think there will be some new organization. and it is clear that the apartment will not be in the usa, it will be somewhere in western europe, somewhere with the ending his god as you correctly said, as soon as the

the last of them , gorbachev and yeltsin, then got more khrushchev did not inflict .d cope with the whites, which was much more than bandera not only that, they were also integrated in the forty- first year. how many years have passed since the civil war today? what? well , really, nothing happened 20 years ago , we had a second chechen war. therefore, in general, one must somehow take our history seriously, there is a lot. for example, it’s just that when the country is headed by people with will, everything works out, and when gorbachev and yeltsin then it’s hard for them, of course, she had a lot of federalization in ukraine, including in the nineties it was possible that all the ideas were vicious working ideas were at the grandfather lenin if seriously chistalin, they were working in certain conditions, when there is lenin and there is stalin, this does not mean that these ideas would have worked, with a different structure. it is always necessary to judge on the basis of the historical vladimir vladimirovich does not like, for example, the leninist approach. it

in order to avoid arrest, you evaluate gorbachev as the leader of the country. the president must beeveryone wanted to shake his hand, ask questions and make sure that he returned, forever the republican authorities were in shock at that time, the government, of course, was very afraid of him presence in baku, realizing that before his authority and before the attitude of people towards him. in general, no one can resist he was not given the opportunity to live in baku in an apartment, bro, where he settled, now and then threatening calls are heard. aliyev is given a day to leave the city of taina by mail plane. he flies to his small homeland. here he is back. the people settled. my sister didn't have big brothers. well, if a party is falling apart, that is, everything that has been created over the course of many millennia, and a new one has not yet been created, which there will be a new no one knows. 90-93 , of course, everyone fell into the test. i had to travel most of the countries of the former soviet union republics that the most difficult situation was in azerbaijan the most

back the import of ukrainian nationalism to the historical homeland of ukraine began in the period gorbachev'ska, and every year this process became more and more obvious. in any case, the famous child with three crowns. the symbol of the nazi battalion. the ussr is the size of the traditional parades. nobody was embarrassed anymore. this is for the defense of the nuremberg stands, though a fascist. the participants in such processions did not perceive any objections, even when they were made in the language they understood in pure ukrainian language, but, considering, as of late, i am rewriting history textbooks in mumbo jumbo. maybe there's just more not heard in the stands anna efimova valery savelyev anastasia popova is a typical new russia. about why the spirit of nationalists of the times of the great patriotic and civil war is so in demand today in ukraine. we will talk with our permanent expert political scientist and historian rostislav ishchenko arslan good afternoon astislav. and where does all this craving for paraphernalia come from today, and the ukrainian nationalists of the tim

i have no relationship with gorbachev now. told the forgotten man, a small house with all the amenities on the street lived there. even be surprised at what i will say now, but the former leader herself prosperous soviet republic in man. who was higher than the leadership of the soviet union , neither in moscow nor in baku, did not have their own living space, they did not have their own apartment. september 1994, the contract of the century was signed in baku, an agreement with 11 leading oil companies of the world on the joint development and share distribution of the country's most promising fields, azerbaijan entering the world economic market is very difficult to do, because many large countries did not want azerbaijan to be able to sell its own oil. competitiveness, which is very important, in fact, but this required tough discipline, a tough hand and plus experienced ones, azerbaijan began to quickly gain political weight. if you haven’t seen each other a few hours ago , azerbaijani president heydar aliyev landed on the

i think actually was gorbachev himself. 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 her that chapter because as i said, it's looming large right now the so called not one inch that's for sure. well the open door policy of nato which goes directly against the notion of not expanding it one inch is in fact built into the nato charter of 1949. so structurally nato has had this element of it sweden in finland are probably going to enter the alliance this summer on the basis of this of this policy the open door policy, and that's not 89 shift that's an old policy. that's that's been woven into okay woven into nato. i think that 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 and what they thought about it. that's a legitimate historical conversation the i

and so i was acutely aware as a reporter of the promises that had been made to gorbachev not to extend beyond the borders of a unified germany. indeed, we we all, i think naively thought that we would finally see the peace. they called it after the end of the cold war, gorbachev himself wanted to build a security and alliance with the united states and europe, something, of course, yeltsin picked up on and people forget. so did putin. in the very early years. but the arms industry and the american military establishment was determined to make moscow an enemy. whether they wanted to be or not. and why. i think two reasons. one, we began hear this talk of a unipolar that meant that with the end of the cold war, there was only one superpower, the united states would dominate the globe militarily and economically. the hubris of empire, they felt they could do anything they wanted, and if they wanted to extend naito up to the borders of russia, there was nothing at this point russia could do. and then profit in order to convert soviet military equipment to be empowered. these these militari

when he said, gorbachev was sitting there.residium, popov was talking, the second was the mayor, and then he said that if you don’t lower the prices for us, uh, animal feed, we will gather in the last cage and constantly bring advice against you. and if not then will work, then we will open the cells. and the people somehow immediately took the rooster, because they realized that, of course, he was joking, but not quite. and the fact that my father knocked out money for new circuses, when everything was just in general, and that is, not up to the church, there is nothing for a person. he alone was left of this group created, which went there and as long as they were there in a circle, each time some folk artists lowered them, who had no other choice, and he went for the last time. this is nikolayevich rozhkov, for example, a minister and so on, who plan results and temporary directorates there was a church on petrovsky boulevard then. and so he came, nikulin settled down, he took off his hat , put it on and sits for him. that'

in order to avoid arrest, you evaluate gorbachev as the leader of the country.ow is the president of the country? the president must be fair to objective gorbacheva, this cannot be said. i say what should be president heydar aliyev leaves the party and returns to his homeland. was it worth it to appear on the streets of baku, when crowds of people began to gather around him? everyone wanted to shake his hand, ask questions and make sure that he returned , the republican authorities were forever in shock, the government, of course, was very afraid of his presence in baku, realizing that before his authority and before the attitude of people towards him. in general, no one can resist him given the opportunity. the people settled in the house of his sister. but you and i just couldn’t live with my sister’s brothers, but there wasn’t, as they say now, real estate not in moscow or baku, they didn’t embroider and financial savings for a rainy day, no matter how unbelievable it is for someone now sounded, but also not in the first years. after the return of heydar aliy
