second world war, after the beginning of which by a strange coincidence, stanislav shushkevich, leonid kravchukorbachev died one after the other, those who in 1991 tried to destroy the empire peacefully. we continue our families. mr. kola, i think you can correct me there. i was a correspondent of the bbc world service in kyiv and you were covering these events. then we were listening . so that in russia the conditional tsar would leave office like this, i am leaving because someone got together and decided something for me in connection with the signing, i am leaving to present my credentials, these are unique cases, as far as it was a unique case that the collapse of the union took place, well, without much blood, let's say so, yes, good health and i would say that it was not expected, i would not say that it was a unique case because by that time we were all used to gorbachev behaving like imperialism in a limited way. it was right more peaceful than could be expected, but what was unexpected was the position of the ukrainians, it was true that everyone was calling me from the bbc from londo

independence of ukraine can also to some extent be considered a political pre-election project of leonid kravchukych really wanted to become the president of ukraine using the fact that on december 1 they voted for the act of independence and voted for the president of ukraine and he tried in his pre-election campaign to combine these two two events in one, you are not just voting for independence, you are voting for the chairman of the verkhovna rada, under whose chairmanship this independence was proclaimed, even at the time of the proclamation of this independence 24 august 1991. then they told him that it was not a single shot, he had a former friend, the secretary of the central committee of the communist party of ukraine, as the second secretary, this is not a joke, you understand. and you can say that he won in this election campaign of his, which does not mean that we did not need independence, what a cunning kravchuk, he deceived us, even if we agree with the fact that for petro poroshenko, tomos was an important part of his own political image. well, if every ukrainian president has

can be called an amateur to slide between the cable of the first president of the independent leonid kravchukterday's bandera, who at first stopped as an ardent communist, and then again a bandera and who played far from the last role in the collapse of the soviet union, the starting point of the modern square is the beginning of the nineties, on the sixteenth of july, the supreme council of the ussr adopts a declaration on the state sovereignty of ukraine the soviet union is already bursting at the seams, what's next, and then it starts that president leonid kuchma will call ukraine not russia yet from the tv screens on the ears of yesterday's soviet citizens hung noodles about democratic values ​​and promises to turn selves or into a second france, ukraine was turning into something else before our eyes, where the multi-million russian population of the same citizens of ukraine became sort of a national minority ; the state, where the orthodox church was crushed into parts, turns each into a political party ; in the city of kirovograd now skopinsky for me, of course, this is happening. i un

on december 1, 1991, ukrainians also elected the first president, but the leading candidates leonid kravchukeslav chornovil did not so much conduct an election campaign as campaign for independence. the motives of ukrainians to vote for were different. some were ideological supporters of ukraine 's independence. a surprise for ukrainians and the whole world. this is how the british bbc commented on the results of the plebiscite. in ukraine, people voted to leave the soviet union by a margin of nine to one. such a result is a big blow for gorbachev and his efforts to create a union of sovereign states, there is no doubt that the ukrainian representation here in moscow will soon turn into a full-fledged embassy for the first time in 300 years ukraine will deal with russia as an equal state and not as a subject the russian empire on december 1 became for ukrainians on a deeply symbolic date, on the 20th anniversary of the referendum, leading ukrainian intellectuals and moral authorities united in an initiative group on december 1, which included lubomyr huzar yevhen sverstyuk ivan dzyuba myrosl

december 1, 1991, ukrainians also elected the first president, but the leading candidates were leonid kravchuk vyacheslav chornovil they conducted an election campaign, how they campaigned for independence, the motives of ukrainians to vote for were different, some were ideological supporters of the independence of ukraine, some dreamed of a prosperous economic future as early as tomorrow, and some i just voted like everyone else, but the result of 90% in favor of independence was a surprise for ukrainians and the whole world. efforts to create a union of sovereign states, there is no doubt that the ukrainian representation here in moscow will soon turn into a full-fledged embassy for the first time in 300 years ukraine will deal with russia as an equal state and not as a russian subject empire december 1 became a deeply symbolic date for ukrainians on the 20th anniversary of the referendum , leading ukrainian intellectuals and moral authorities united in an initiative group on december 1, it included, in particular, lubomyr huzar yevhen sverstyuk, ivan dzyuba, myroslav popovych bohdan havryly

world war, after the beginning of which, by a strange coincidence, one for stanislav shushkevich, leonid kravchuk and mikhail gorbachev died alone, those who in 1991 tried to destroy the empire peacefully, i would like to thank my colleagues for this interesting educational excursion into history. of our marathon taras stetskiv and the politics of the people's deputy of several convened participants of all ukrainian revolutions and speeches in the opposition against the government, without exception, this is the difficult fate of taras stepanovych glory to ukraine, taras, we congratulate you, we choose you again, a double holiday, so to speak, so today we are bypassing the anniversary of the greatest tragedy for putin, in particular, it is about the final collapse of the soviet union, and we are certain that on the eve of potentially great events in the russian federation, we know that you also participate in on the forum of free peoples, the post of russia well, accordingly , here we understand not the issue of the concept, but the issue of terms, when, roughly, in your opinion, will it start in

are part of the political insult, then the president should in principle put up a monument to leonid kravchuk, that's for sure petro poroshenko is alive, a person can still make a million different mistakes, but i'm just telling you, even though it is obvious that every politician has huge claims. this is the first story. it is obvious that the society did not understand the meaning of this at all, but now the slogan army, language, faith acquired new meanings for everyone , including the current president, then in 2019 we saw volodymyr zelensky surrounded by those closest to him, the congregation of the ukrainian orthodox church of the church of the moscow patriarchate, metropolitan onufriy received the order from the hands of the head of state, the head of the security service of ukraine, at the time he was not a parishioner of the ukrainian orthodox church of moscow patriarchy, i am married to a russian citizen. as you know, i always say that i do not judge people by their passports at all. i do not think that being a citizen of the russian federation is some kind of sentence or diagnosis,

it seems to me that the story is soon place well, unfortunately leonid makarovich kravchuk we will not hear from him again. unfortunately , he died, well, what was the first president of ukraine, who was when it was created? the very idea of ​​the budapest merandum, well, leonid danylovych is alive. thank god the one who signed it, but in any case, it's nothing unfortunately, it will not change. thank you very much for your involvement . oleksandr kraev was with us an expert of the council of foreign policy ukrainian prisma eh. indeed, i talked with shcherbak from my time, he was then the word of the country in the united states of america, we we met somewhere on the air of the marathon when we held the fifth direct tspresso. i asked about this memorandum, and he did not say then that for those 300 million dollars. well, it is again from his words that ukrainian diplomatic missions bought apartments there. i think not only for the mission in washington well, when kuchma came to the united states of america and there were still nuclear weapons in ukraine, then he was met there by orches

look, please, leonid kravchuk, here you are now listen to his two statements, as for the elite, two statementskraine for centuries in peace and friendship, they are united in the locally shed blood of common mountains and common joys. let's be worthy of our wise ancestors, let's build an independent ukraine as a common home for ukrainians and russians of all its nationalities, inhabiting ukraine should be in nato, russia's opinion does not play here. roles are the only way to become a member of nato and in this way protect the opportunity to build ukraine where anyone was. where did you say when. it's already history charming in this is what kind of faces they are with, moreover, here leonid makarovich kravchuk once spoke on the air. i asked him a question. as it seemed to me, the sisters and i speak harshly. well, how is it. you are then a future major functionary of the communist party and so on. how is it, and he even looked at me. i think a little. it's a pity that he says, well, yes, then he says, i was mistaken, and then i saw the light. it's so charming that it disarms putin the other d

alliance agreement and so on and so he put something like that on the table and turned to kravchuk with the words, leonid makarovich, sign anything, but you can sign, you can draw anything , cross out, write down, etc. and so on. and then kravchuk said that i was talking behind my back 90% of the people are for independence and i was elected president, i cannot sign anything that goes against the president's declaration and then they went to the sauna. they are not the gentlemen you show, but their assistants went to the sauna because there was simply no room. it was no longer heated, the entire sauna was just a room like that and there they sat until almost morning and came up with formulas, but because unions never disintegrated, which empires did not disintegrate so easily. and then this phrase geopolitical reality , earlier called the union of soviet socialist republics, is ceasing its existence , that's where the political reality is - it's just invented there where there are a few bubbles, it's the right hand in it at that moment, he later told me what it was if he had this idea in his head opinion

charming in this is what kind of faces they are with, moreover, leonid makarovich kravchuk spoke on the with us. i asked him a question. as it seemed to me, the sisters and i speak harshly. well, how is it? here. you are then a future major functionary of the communist party and so on. how is it, and he even looked at me. i think a little. it's a pity that says, well, yes, then he says, i was mistaken, and then i regained my sight. it's so charming that it disarms putin the other day received his sight, which, it turns out, in the fourteenth year. it was necessary to deal with the ukrainian issue, not to sign the minsk agreements, not to try to shove the donbass back into the nightingale, everyone sees clearly. everyone is mistaken. whether they call it a betrayal or a conscientious delusion that this correct comparison of putin and kravchuk was also compared useful, in what i say, just so that putin does something, he lawyer, he still lives in a paradigm. i understand the responsibility signature documents. yes, he lives in this paradigm, while western people are in this. here, as if a

well, what is interesting is that kravchuk is actually in this memorandum, and physically he signed by leonidt's here. well, first of all, who, anyway , is this memorandum not to blame anyone for this? and who, after all, gave consent, kravchuk or kuchma ? well, how did it happen? what for 300 million dollars actually nuclear potential was sold to the third in the world, could it be otherwise, please well, to be honest, it may be mine, but i don’t primarily blame george bush sr. for everything for the swamps of the memorandum, because it was the fears of the american administration at that time that any country except russia knows how to handle a weapon at that time, however, the american aesthetic is about the fact that no one should be allowed to have a nuclear weapon in everyday life, except for russia, they forced the united states to put pressure on the ukrainian government, because in fact, from the documents that are currently available to us, it is obvious that the americans put a lot of pressure on the ukrainian government to accept the then conditions of nuclear disarmament, and the
