broader than this narrow definition, let's try to figure it out, hello, this is a historical podcast, russia west on the swings of history. with you peter romanov. and sergei solovyov. today in the center of our attention is potemkin tavrichesky. grigory alexandrovich potemkin, tavrichesky he received later for the conquest of crimea. he is actually from the smolensk nobles, his father rose only to the rank of major, and died early, he was raised by his mother, but in general from the very beginning he was in... to a large extent lucky, in any case he received his primary education at a school that existed in the german sloboda, jaagan litka, well, at that time, he was probably the most important germanist, so to speak, in russian pedagogy, because he was invited, at first he worked at the st. petersburg gymnasium, then he taught at moscow state university, and he even taught at the page corps, so this, well , indirectly, can testify to the fact that potemkin had a primary education was not bad at all, then he entered the moscow state university, in the first year he showed absolutely excellent k

what can russia threaten the west? see that now she is pulling all her strength, showing determination, but ryabkov's words are direct speech, but there are also appropriate actions, i.e. this is an increase in russia's military budget for the 25th year, this is a demonstrative increase in the number of armed forces, this is changes to the concept of applications. nuclear weapons, in a word, russia demonstrates with all its might the readiness to stand to the end, and what, on the other hand, can the west threaten russia, so to speak? we understand that this russian-ukrainian war has shown a huge technological, resource, and all other superiority of the west over russia, and the west is very dosed and very, so to speak , calculated, strategically, uh, showing its trump cards and their leverage. at the moment, he can increase or decrease military support for ukraine. here are these, so to speak, hesitations, which we regard as the west will not dare, the west is afraid of russia and so on. i think it follows from my ana

the west is afraid of russia and so on. i think it follows from my analysis of the situation that the west is simply trading with russia. and so to speak, it's such a game that someone is weaker, someone flinches, someone blinks so on. that is, in the west it is still very much in america, including, we are talking about america, there are elections and so on. regardless of the results of the elections, our western partners have serious levers that only they sometimes hint at, well, for example, the admission of ukraine to nato, the increase of military aid to ukraine, president macron even hinted at the deployment of some armed forces, soldiers there , parts, in ukraine, not necessarily at the front, but in ukraine, that is... it is already straining to the last strength, so to speak, the hand is reaching for the nuclear button, and the west, in the person of america, in particular, is still, so to speak, on the verge of using its main levers to influence the situation, so the situation does not seem to me to be hopeless or

russia of the west, we see that it is now pulling all its forces, demonstrates determination, ryabkov'sords are direct speech, but there are also corresponding actions, i.e. this is an increase in russia's military budget for the 25th year, this is a demonstrative increase in the number of armed forces, these are changes to the concept of using nuclear weapons, in a word, russia... willingness to stand to the end with all our might, and how can the west, so to speak, threaten russia on the other hand? we understand that this russian-ukrainian war showed a huge technological, resource, and other advantage of the west over russia. and, the west is very dosed and very, so to speak, calculated. strategically shows his trump cards and his leverage, at the moment he can increase or decrease military support for ukraine. here are these, so to speak, hesitations, which we regard as the west will not dare, the west is afraid of russia and so on. i think it follows from my analysis of the situation that from...

he's basically saying when it comes to ukraine, does not ukraine, but as russia, it's the west and they tow versus russia. you said they are well, it mentality the, the west of trying to use the key of regime to inflict a strategic defeat on russia is a key of is basically black. marrying the world saying is trying to get a nuclear weapon and west and colleagues basically say nothing. 25000 ukrainians killed encoder. and for wat depends your thing. key of london in washington or brussels have no plans and no interest in getting out of his conflict. he said the russian army is winning across the board and ukraine and even western military experts con, deny this and just performed a bands. here was a georgia is on the wiley, who is a frequent guest here on this channel. jeremy wiley saying when it comes to the coffee and ukraine, the role of the company they could have been prevented is the responsibility of western countries. had nato not continued to expand, so russia's board is ultimately breaking an age old promise from the west of the hot george that nobody said of russia's proposals

the west is simply trading with russia, and so to speak, this is a game of ee, who is weaker, who will flinch, who will blink and so on, that is, in the west, america is still very much , including that we are talking about america, there are elections and so on, regardless of the election results, our western partners have serious leverage, which only they sometimes hint at, well... for example, the admission of ukraine to nato, the increase of the military aid to ukraine, president macron even hinted at the deployment of some armed forces, there are soldiers, units in ukraine, not necessarily at the front, but in ukraine, that is, russia is already straining to the last strength already, so to speak, the hand is reaching for the nuclear button, and the west in the person of america, just , so to speak, is on the verge of using its main levers to influence the situation, so the situation does not seem to me to be hopeless or losing for the event, but our role in this is quite, so to speak, sacrificial, i would call it that, and unfortunately , passive, that is, we can only encourage t

west. once to exhaust ukraine, once to fight against russia to the last possible days that this is how it looks like. there is no chance for victoria and ukraine from the very beginning, but they are fighting and the west west of once it is to go on. so they can do this really have to the russian side of the border of portland, if they don't stuff, i don't know it's, it's the question, what's the rest, what, what, what you will decide at the end of the dates, set them up here is still savanski is talking about if i just about switching to have them, although it has no chance to because the whole west was against it so that you can use the lease. i think they, they don't know what to do on the they can, they can code on the compromises with russia. the west doesn't do that, doesn't get them. and i think they don't want it. and on the other hand, they can, when do the problem is really crushing down and i think it's the situation that's just that whole desperate also and keep in mind, maybe even in the west, i think that nobody hasn't really the idea of what to do right. so to all the news that m

the russians, with their culture, with their behavior, with people who believe that russia is fighting with the west with ukraine, russia, russians are deeply convinced and believe that they are fighting with the west, do you really want to sit in the same pizzeria with people who believe that they won the war with the west, it will blow over, in 10-15 years, not today you had yushchenko, we had sevlinsky, koshturnitsa, somewhere saakashvili appeared, they were trained there for decades in special universities, they were foisted on them wives, so to speak, so that there would also be some special attachment, it's just that a russian wife will marry a ukrainian woman, look, he will become a patriot again, and through a foreigner you can tie him a little and the main thing is a good exit, you can go to your wife's place of residence, something happens, don't you understand that they are doing it on purpose, so that yushchenko could not marry a ukrainian woman, on purpose... it sounds like this: no, point number six: some stinking kiev dunda suggested moving the war to belarus, but then alexander grigo

but this month's newspaper reports you talk about russia needs to be weaker if, if the west is to avoid a boy much weak from its will with ukraine. this month's newspaper report say russia had already received more than 200 ballistic missiles from iran, a report on the s, b and c. and there was a risk of it more would be provided. um, if that was massage, keep coming from iran and from other members of that so called access to about people, russia isn't going to emerge week a is coming much, much stronger, isn't that if this trend continues to the russian. so kind of to try and to boost up. it's made it 30 strength. and of course, based on that means that his drink, they are conducting graduation on wolf a be the ukraine. so all the task is to make sure that the creation that aisha is using a beneficial but the mom buddies beneficial on the for a potent print. it is also i would assess that the russia cannot keep this position rate up for coming. yes and yes. so we have to make sure that the ukrainians have the power to at 3 the russians as, as much as possible. and the question is, how

a considering the current opportunity add ports russia in the west. can you tell us why you are here and what you're doing in russia? i have to offer a hand of friendship between myself and the russian people, for it's only through a peace between the west in russia and breaks that the world can live in some sort of harmony without the constant fear of destruction by atomic weapons. let me come to you on this new era. now john arrived in moscow on to your invitation. can you tell us why this is so important? file, as john said, it's important to show that the world is not divided, that the russia is not canceled. the country was canceled the culture, how the west us trying to show to the rest of the world, our country. and this is a good example. uh, john is here to show that there is friendship exist between west and the east, and there is peaceful inventions, but you on the special drop it to a new males uh full years said that the way julian was being treated amounted to touch or both physical and psychological, and i did the julian himself share wi

so a lot of the question was, is russia willing to accept, for example, if this reaches a never ending stale names rights. if the west pushes russia and ukraine, and so that will, of russia accept the current demarkation lines, is that something that a russell would find acceptable? this is what led them to put them, have to say about that. and also about the piece deals that were on the table button. you have just said no last minute any outcome must be in russia's favor. i say this frankly, without any embarrassment, and must proceed from the realities that are developing on the battlefield. and without any doubts here, we are not going to make any concessions here. there will be no exchanges. we are ready to see compromises. we are ready to make reasonable compromises. but i do not want to go into details now because there are no substantive negotiations out therapies. partners have repeatedly approached us with proposals on some initiatives. but when we agreed, it turned out that the ukranian side had already managed to refuse. this happened twice. for example, in new york, that would have been under the auspices

consider so easy way to take this sort of to blame on us. russia, of course, has been using these narrative for, for a just stuff. it's the west to, you know, edge to close on a to was, was always coming to close to close to his board. but at the same time, we haven't been threatening russia. nato certainly does not taking you countries by force, but it's, it's countries who democratically just wants to join. and at the same time that we obviously we have seen that. so. so doing this for a now, especially in a well recently, in the past weeks and, and even days um, some of 5 rushes material has landed basically in, in nature conference. so this is extremely important that we take the seriously, we investigated these mattress and then we react to decisively. let's talk a little bit more about that reaction because there are calls for nato to act and jointly to counter such air in persians. i'd like to take it to something that poland has previously said, that in other countries bordering ukraine, have a duty to shoot down incoming russian missiles before they enter their space. so nato has rejected this proposal. it is said, it

the only guilty party in this situation is russia, since it is on... the west been subversive in ukraine for decades, the first, it is now clear, the coup d'etat in favor of nationalist forces took place back in 2004-2005, the orange revolution was openly anti-russian, anti-russian, almost 20 years ago, but it turns out that it was then. the legitimate government in kiev was overthrown by the us with the hands of the nazis much more harshly, bloodily, treacherously. they went to the russian donbass with tanks. crimea was saved, the real war began. whose responsibility is it? putin's? but no. and then, under the pretext of that war, the nato alliance began to develop ukraine militarily, striving literally swallow. genfeknato rutto talks about the illegal war on the part of russia. and the bloody coup d'etat in kiev with the american. boris johnson. his main word is - urgently, we urgently need to accept ukraine into nato, i emphasize, urgently, because we could extend the security guarantee under article 5 to all ukrainian territory controlled by us. we need to

russia and china seemed to be teaming up more and more especially in this region. to what extent are you seeing this as a flash point, a site for intensifying well, for right now, between the west, russia and china. yes. you know, the optic is becoming more and more important by the day. um, unfortunately with a, with the climate change which is extremely uh, well visible up and up in the north. um, so we appreciate it and well come with very, very much that to and that nato is taking a very active approach in these matters as well. because the optic will play a significant role, not only for trade routes, but, but also for military activity. unfortunately, and we do have seen that russia and china have increased their corporation over the course of the past years and especially months. we were very strongly cool on china to do everything in the power to have russia in the war in ukraine because effectively, china could achieve that if russia could not trained to so actively with china, especially in key components on technology. they couldn't, they couldn't be waging this war any longer. but what incentive does china have to do that? because i mean, it's reported, for example,

i don't you know, we can't place the blame on the west entirely that there were domestic forces in russia. but i do make the point in the book that i don't think that the west rose to the challenge, the collapse of the soviet union and in the end of the cold war. and it really struck me with hindsight, obviously, as a reporter a young reporter in russia in the 1990s, i traveled and spoke to lots of and did a lot of reporting and spoke to lots of people coal miners who were unpaid textile workers who were also unpaid. i mean, the trauma of that period. with hindsight, i mean, was really striking to me as i tried to recount that period. and i think it did it did strike me as a lost opportunity that the west did not provide more economic assistance, particularly in those very early years. i'm talking, you know, early 1990s when there really was a moment, i think, to step in. and i think political considerations elections in the united states got in the way to some extent i mean you can argue both ways that if the west had stepped up and provided more economic assistance to, russia during tha

the west as a whole will be a weakening of the union of russia and china. victory for ukraine will be an agreement that is supported by the interests of the united states of america. an agreement that provides a greater level of security and sovereignty for ukraine. and that will stop the current bloodshed. and, in my opinion, this is a victory for russia, which will restore economic relations with the west and receive some guarantees regarding the scale of nato expansion. there is no such rule that says that if one side. at least until a full-scale world war begins, there is an option in which each country wins, and not in such a way that our gain is a loss for russia, or that any plus for russia is a minus for the united states and ukraine. i want to add something else that putin may not like, but about which we can negotiate. this is the entry of ukraine into the european union, but not into nato. this is to establish economic relations, as well as. mutual payment, but so that there are guarantees that both russia and united states. one of the challenges

we can't placed the blame on the west entirely that there were domestic forces in russia. make the point in the book that i don't think the west rose to the challenge of the collapse of the soviet union and end of the cold war. it struck me with hindsight as a young reporter in the 1990s in russia, i traveled around and did a lot of reporting and spoke to a lot of people. textile workers who were unpaid. the trauma of that period with hindsight was really striking to me as i tried to recount that period. it did strike me as a lost opportunity the west did not provide more economic assistance particularly in those early years. i'm talking early 1990s when there was a moment i think to step in political considerations and elections in the united states got in the way to some extent you can argue it both ways. if the west stepped up and provided more economic assistance to russia during that period, maybe some of that money would have been stolen because of the corruption that ensued we saw unfold over the rest of the 1990s. i think it was such a huge moment and there wasn't a

russia. it is possible to create a legal basis here so that we can move towards uniform standards. the union state is expanding its direction. sanctions imposed by the west against russia and belarus have been pushed towards closer cooperation, deadly gas, how teenagers deliberately poison themselves, are you a drug addict, no, why do you sniff gas, it's harmful, cool, about a hundred children die from sniffing every year, first of all, the cells of the cerebral cortex die, what solutions does the state duma propose, we will be able to solve a difficult problem, and the children will live. save children from values ​​alien to us. over the past 7 years , foreigners have adopted about 700 russian children, the child's life is ruined and distorted, against his will. who will the state duma prohibit from adopting children from russia? we, colleagues, must protect our children. and also the development of water transport, international cooperation, drug supply and other topics of the week, further in our program. the delegation of the state duma headed by the chairman vyacheslav volodin worked in mogilev this week. there was a meeting of the council of the pa

importantly, that weakens the russia-china alliance, which is a real threat to us, all participants in this debate. ukraine. i think that reopening economic relations with the west would be a big win for russia, and also the carrot that would take them out of their military alliance with china. i really think that the top brass of our foreign ministry has historically had a poor imagination in terms of the tools available for our use. earlier in our discussion i criticized nixon for his role in the growth of the legal and regulatory function of the state, but now i want to praise nixon for something else. he had the imagination to pull red china out of the ussr's sphere of influence. he broke up the russian-chinese alliance back then, which was an important step toward bringing the end of the cold war closer. if ukraine had agreed back then, it is already certain that they would have received better conditions for themselves than they have now. after of how hundreds of billions of dollars were spent, tens of thousands of ukrainian lives were lost. so the idea that ukraine benefited from not agreeing back then is a lie. a greater level of security and sovereignty

is, they cannot answer this question, i will help in what, this is a confrontation between the west and russiad not remain neutral, you took the side of the west, in this, this is despite the fact that we have historical roots, ties and all that. you know, i will tell you more, if ukraine had stood firm on its positions and defended its interests, sovereignty and independence, there would have been no war, the problem is that the raguli who came to power loaded this sovereignty and independence onto a cart and took it to the western market to sell, you see, here they are, they took it to sell this sovereignty and independence, the west actually, well, said, okay, do you agree? lies and more lies, there are no countries that would invest billions of dollars in another country and say: you know, well, go negotiate, it doesn’t work like that, they bought it, they financed it, so any date, time, place, the terms of the negotiations will be determined with the west, all these promises of zelensky, nothing about ukraine without ukraine, it's all a lie, a lie, another lie, because it's all fake, in f

i don't you know, we can't place the blame on the west entirely that there were domestic forces in russia. but i do make the point in the book that i don't think that the west rose to the challenge, the collapse of the soviet union and in the end of the cold war. and it really struck me with hindsight, obviously, as a reporter a young reporter in russia in the 1990s, i traveled and spoke to lots of and did a lot of reporting and spoke to lots of people coal miners who were unpaid textile workers who were also unpaid. i mean, the trauma of that period. with hindsight, i mean, was really striking to me as i tried to recount that period. and i think it did it did strike me as a lost opportunity that the west did not provide more economic assistance, particularly in those very early years. i'm talking, you know, early 1990s when there really was a moment, i think, to step in. and i think political considerations elections in the united states got in the way to some extent i mean you can argue both ways that if the west had stepped up and provided more economic assistance to, russia during tha

it is beneficial for china to have russia as an ally. against the west, that is why cathay helps russia and continues to help russia. trump has illusions that he will somehow or other manage to win over russia to his side, that if trump gives ukraine away, and ukraine can become a trading card under the influence of russia in one way or another, then russia will become an enemy of china. but this is an absolutely unrealistic, impossible and unrealistic scenario. because of that, even in the event of trump's victory, when trump will see the impossibility his scenario when... trump will see that putin's wishes and russia's wishes are completely unrealistic, that these wishes extend not only to ukraine, but also to the rest of europe, that in general russia, like china, wants to destroy the influence of the united states , the european union and nato in the world, trump will have no choice but to support ukraine. therefore, ukraine will be supported by every administration that comes to power. obviously, one is more pessimistic about ukraine and has some illusions. the other is configured

russia has invited north korean soldiers to go into the country to train them up, to send them to ukraine, that that would be an escalation of the ukraine conflict. well, president putin today accused the westothing is his fault, nothing is russia's fault. he points the finger at america, at nato, at the west in general. thanks to steve for that. still to come... the stars would be coming out in the us election campaign, but we will look at what could really sway voters. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. next to the us, where there are just 12 days to go until the presidential election. the democratic candidate kamala harris will visit the battleground state of georgia laterfor a rally with some well—known names. celebrity endorsements are a part of elections in the us. recently, musicians usher and lizzo have both said they're backing kamala harris. hulk hogan and elon musk are among those supporting donald trump. in the next few hours, the harris campaign is expected to bejoined by rock legend bruce springsteen, entertainer tyler perry and former president barack obama. meanwhile, former president trump will head to arizona and nevada. both states presented tough chall

if if russia wins, then for china it is generally a winning option, it means the loss of the west andtory of china's ally. does china think that russia should become... its satellite there, or does china want to conquer russia? no, first of all, russia is a nuclear power, but at the same time it does not threaten china, it is just much, much smaller and technologically much less developed. it is beneficial for china to have russia as an ally against the west, which is why china helps russia and continues to help russia. trump has illusions that he will somehow succeed some way to sway russia to his side, that if trump gives ukraine, and ukraine can become a trading card under the influence of russia in one way or another, then russia will become an enemy of china. but this is an absolutely unrealistic, impossible and unrealistic scenario. because, even in the case of trump's victory, when trump will see the impossibility of his scenario, when trump will see that putin's wishes and russia's wishes are completely unrealistic, that these wishes, they spread not only to ukraine, but also

from the one sun area to vladivostok, and then on board to multiple training sites in eastern russia. the west fierce they will join the fight against ukraine is definitely be the case. if they would be sending troops to or you can get watermark a significant escalation, definitely be important to significant escalation. the soldier is deployed to russia or a lead force as well that then conventional troops, military analysts more. we now move on. tell us dw, we're talking about and ministry in special forces and they are the best trained amongst the korean miller tree. and, and what's korea has some, $200000.00 of so, so it's, it's just the fraction of a 4th. most korea could potentially send to russia, and these forces could liberate the russians in the rear, according to ukraine's intelligence agency. the 1st north korean troops already arrived in the russian course region, partly held by ukraine since august. russian president vladimir putin doesn't seem to see the need to deny their presence anymore. when ask about satellite images apparently showing those korean troop movements. putting
