russians many of the local people said they had russian . when the russians came to the lives of the indigenous people changed. many of them began to work for the russian american company jobs involved hunting for sea otters fishing and taking part in the building of new settlements russian priests and monks visited alaska and baptized of the locals into the orthodox faith russian men married local girls. russian men married local women and the children were called creole. creoles who were well educated. in the russian capital to ship as well as in the colonial administration. committed. to. surrender how concerned the lives a life entirely different from his ancestors to him putting out to sea is more like fun than work. and is proud of his traditional bathhouse he sees it as a symbol of successive generations and imbedded russian traditions. when the russians came. the thing that is similar are the rocks and he was steaming to washington inside vanya and that's something that we've been doing for centuries and it's a tradition where they now have a wooden h

the many journalists are trying to avoid like saying there they say russian war russian origin that that nobel prize goes to russians well would you do that if he if you were still russian you are russian version to say so do you like the idea of being proud for somebody who who dumped his own country went to work abroad and became an adult was when did you think this is right something something smells wrong for me in this situation. all i believe in a new category and i call people like them gold gold rush and man's hulett does not matter in a longer way people were born as important that what they do benefits their mankind and to me the russians can live in moscow or san francisco or london when you place in the world russians are not gypsies they do have their own country and the world well i mean when i was glad when they listened to the divs address well a couple days ago when he when he gave the best teacher award he said it's pretty. that these guys actually made the discovery's braun that he would prefer russian scientists to get the possibly not only to get the training but also to do the research here in

russians both russian citizens and american citizens these people are by now our own arrogance that is most as you know the ones that i'm thinking about i know well one of your best friends among russian scientists is mr author of why did you agree to co-chair the skolkovo council because you're friends with author of what do you have any of the reasons why the i was asked by george al for of who i much admire and respect he told me that he thought it would be helpful to the to. his undertaking and. i wished to do what i could to support him. that said then such a project takes on a life of its own it becomes a challenge and i can see many other good reasons why i should try and help it succeed like what first and foremost so that russia will be. more successful as a country and a better force for good in the world as not a fact is that it is a job for you are you paid for that or indeed you are indeed offered payment which i must tell you is not beyond what i receive from anyone else to provide such a consulting service i'm offered by many more than i have the time to do and i've chosen to do this at a comparable level of remuneration because of the reasons that i told you skulk abou

russian bureaucracy that you have faced totally impressed by the cations thankfully not in real life yet but people who have less words in their business cards may face those problems and these russian bureaucracy is a thing that's very frightening for foreigners. the russianparliament has passed a law which facilitates visa procedures for qualified foreign workers in russia earning more than sixty six thousand or more a year do you think this is enough i don't mean the sixty six thousand that lifting their critic. barriers to attract more and more scientists to russia i would think the answer is yes because scientists will go wherever a combination of factors prevails first of all an interesting opportunity in scientists will be attracted by a challenge and they will want to do the most fascinating building thing they may possibly undertake and then suddenly out of what support if both are provided and i understand that may be true then russia should have i think encountered no problem but i didn't think so scientists not like many other people not my business but for example are ready to stand in endless lines to get a visa and papers and stamps and all that thing because like. creative people don't like that they then they like things happen like this t

the ruble is too expensive from the point of view of russian producers that this is one of the explanation of this fact yes because russian russian producers they should compete not in international markets but in domestic market with chinese products for example and i'm with a lot of companies of from oil industry for example gas industry who said ok it's cheaper for us to buy chinese products rather than russian because they're cheaper chinese ear and visa impaired to you door and that's why the prices are stable while believes it was appreciate and seen since march of two thousand and nine ok now if currencies will be devalued eighteen years and they're including the ruble going to go down maybe slightly but it will what's going to go up. the paper shares are strong but you know i don't i think i think if all causes will go down that means that all the world will be in high inflation high for years and that will dear the best and there are for a new one. i believe that it's on the move. dangerous situation of this why ministers of one is try to avoid this situation because if any council is depreciating that musique have to ad

most of them are russians and i know that you even work at the so-called russian floor at the inverse of manchester although about stories now that by russians so you are a british citizen game is a dutch citizen but do consider yourself still to do to be russian or or british or i don't know european a what do you think oh. i definitely consider myself russian . i'm british as well. of a lot to russian education too. and that sounds absolutely. but you chose to go to continue your work in england because what because the university you're in now gives you more research possibilities what else what if you compare well you already said in a couple of interviews that that the russian system of training in physics is the best in the world but after you trained compare russian and european british what are the differences. first of all let me let me tell you that it is absolutely normal practice that scientists grow from one lab to another to learn different techniques and obtain different skills i can tell you that if you got ph d. in holland for instance he was be able to continue as a polls log because you would have to while or you would hav

he certainly is a strange guy and he certainly is is a strange politician but russians russian politics russian political experts many may talk to two european political experts and politicians on different topics and find find grounds of understanding in each of them but not. when they start talking georgian sacrificially so this is at least one thing he did. why why is the figure of this man so important that the even even russian and european expres can't find common grounds of evaluating him or his politics i mean it's interesting you say that because i don't really feel that there is a strong support for mr saakashvili as a person or as a politician in in the west i mean especially in european countries i don't think he is so strongly supported i mean he has been very critical of the european union and european politicians don't appreciate that. i would say that really there's a lot of emotions obviously between the personalities in russia and in georgia but i don't really feel that that has overlapped too much to the european union i also feel that their current us government is also diff
