preparing for a first strike against the soviet union and of course that ratcheted up the tension and reginald the arms race on the other side which led no small number of u.s. generals to say don't you think with the growing soviet arsenal and early first strike might be just what we need before it is too late? if we wait, we lose the advantage, we have the nuclear advantage now so you could see there was no equilibrium. there was an array of increasingly dangerous views, tripwires, potential for not only accident but ultimate disaster. towards the end of the 1915s, a eisenhower made one more attempt to find some reconciliation with nikita khrushchev, who was now strongly in power and khrushchev also believed and was trying to introduce the doctrine of peaceful coexistence and so there was what looked like a potential partnership and yet come to pass. could not make it t one side eisenhower continued with the nuclear philosophy which looked terrifying from the russian perspective. even more terrifying because eisenhower rather casually floated the idea of what was called nuclear shar

the soviet union had a lot easier time occupying the northern half. because they had a reservoir of koreans who could speak, i'm so, of soviets who could speak korean. the soviet koreans, it's a long fsm history in itself but at the end of the 19th century when korea became colonized by japan, a lot of koreans fled the calling and established themselves in the soviet far east. then in 1937, stalin deported them to places in uzbekistan and kazakhstan where they set up command there. been in 1945, stalin took a lot of members of the committee and brought them back to north korea. it was really the soviet koreans that helped to establish this proto- north korean regime. and so he had his reservoir of soviets loyal soviet citizens who could speak korean. and also began infiltrating into the indigenous, like people's committees began to spring up right after the revolution to the americans, on the other hand, they didn't have koreans who could speak english. so the problem for them is how do you govern a place without any people whom you can communicate wit

>> the prospect of the attack of the red army, they knew very well the soviet union, the soviets of the red army had much to avenge. so everybody was afraid, and not knowing when you're going to come, and suddenly in january this attack started really from poland all the way through to within 60 miles of berlin pics of the people there, particularly the women, it was friday. they heard rumors of the mass rapes in east prussia. and they were not surprisingly absolutely terrified. and, in fact, the behavior of the red army that was somewhat appalled but wasn't just in germany. they were also in hungary and even in poland and yugoslavia. the red army was actually particularly out of control. one thinks of dollars started absolute enrichment but, in fact, there was very little control. when i got drunk they simply couldn't be stopped. >> for most of world war ii, was berlin a safe haven for germans? >> it wasn't a safe haven from the point of view of a rich. berlin was one of the chief targets, particularly of royal air force command led by harris and his rather controversial strategic bomb

i worked with the mujahedin in afghanistan fighting the soviet union.during those days, we were against the soviet union because it had too much control and surveillance over its own people. now many of the same people are claiming what the soviet union was evil about we can see in our own society. snowden was just alerting us to our government getting out of hand. russia accepting him for asylum i think was not as hostile and act as it is being portrayed. >> how would you have responded? would you have responded at all? >> i do not think mr. snowden should have had to basically seek asylum in other countries. he booked a contract with his employer to keep his mouth shut. that he needs to be held accountable. people would have to decide whether or not his alerting the american will to and over surveillance and reaching way beyond what is reasonable was something he should be punished for. what i would have done in that situation, i would not have attacked president putin himself and treated him like the enemy for granting asylum when we needed his help.

, while the soviet union built thousands of their own to point back at us. may not still seem like the most pressing national security priority anymore now that the soviet union does not exist, but we never got rid of these things. and with hundreds of them still around and ready to go, somebody has got to keep them around and ready to go. they have got to be cleaned and maintained and kept track of. and occasionally moved around the country. so we employ u.s. air force personnel to take care of that. on august 29th, 2007, one of the air force's weapons handling team at minot, north dakota, was tasked with the de-commissioned nuclear weapons down to their base in louisiana. the missiles were not supposed to be shipped with their live nuclear war heads, the war head part was supposed to be taken have you the missiles and replaced with dummy weight for balance. but in august, 2007, instead of picking up the missiles with the dummy weights on them, the minot crew did not see what they were supposed to be doing. they didn't follow the procedures they were suppos

he lived quite modestly, but he had enormous numbers of houses all over the soviet union. in fact, one of the interesting things was i went around all the houses that he had, many of them beautiful overlooking the black sea. one of the ladies show me around. very old lady who is about 90 something police said to me, oh, yes. i said to her, i wanted to make sure that no one else had been around there before me. has anyone else spin around these houses? want to be the first to show them in my book. she said to me, no, no one has been around for a long time except there was that arab gentleman who came around. what was his name? said jonassaint. and so of course saddam hussein was an obsessed with stalin. he was being taken by the kgb. i want to see every single house of stalin's. so he is the only other person apart from the who a spin around every one of his houses and seen how he lived. >> host: simon sebag montefiore, what are your current and near future projects? >> a family in russia. a book about love. based on true stories as well. but in history, researching now the

it was a master stroke of soviet strategy that immediately turned the soviet union and later russia into major player of that tinderbox of the middle east, with the soviets have been selling weapons to syria since the 1974 war. so what does russia get today? it has access to a naval maintenance and supply base that the syrian port, russian's only military base outside the former soviet union. lucrative arm sales, 10% of all weapons exported by russia go to syria, net worth, $1.5 billion a year. and lastly, unparalleled access to syria's military and security apparatus. the surprise that hush sha over the last two years has consistently voted down resolutions. but one voice has remained silent. vladimir putin in a calculated display of indifference, was 6,000-kilometers on thursday, independenting flood defenses in the east. >> i don't think that putin has something to say, just now. to come up and to say that this attack will with wrong and a mistake and a crime, and don't do it. while everybody thinks it will. i think he will appear after the strike, and strongly condemn. at the moment

member state and more than 20 years after it left the soviet union the country is still dependent onussia. to this day russia remains the sole supplier of gas and electricity to lithuania. often at prices that are even higher than western europe. but lithuanians hope to change that with the help of e.u. legislation. >> she is at wit's end. she's unemployed and can barely afford to make herself a cup of tea. she gets 202 euros a month, not nearly enough to survive in lithuania, and more than half of that, 115 euros, goes to pay the gas bill. >> i think these high prices are russia's way of getting revenge because we were the first country to declare independence from the former soviet union. now they're punishing us for it. it's terrible. every country should be treated the same. why does lithuania have to pay so much more for gas than elsewhere? >> still relief could be on the horizon for ruta and lithuania's three million resident. they've placed their hopes on a massive floating gas terminal called independence. it was launched from south korea in may. this animation shows just how

it was whether the soviet union would withstand the attack access at that point. the consensus in washington was that the red army would fall to before between one and three months. that's what hopkinss was testing. wasn't a big question can we be allies? will they survive. should we aid them or are we throwing good after bad? and he journeyed to moscow and made a decision based on very few facts, and, by the way, stalin was that trying to manipulate him the whole time. stalin made sure that even though the government was in disarray, and recently returned and there was -- he himself was in turmoil internal turmoil. it was calm, he was silent and did in command. he did everything he could give hopkinss that impression. does that mean he was hoodwinked? i think so. he made the right judgment which was that stalin was so fourous. it was so much so that the red army would hold out until the winter closed in had in. that's really the question. hopkinss made that judgment. and i think, you know, in receipt to spect it was correct. that's not say roosevelt's judgment ab

it's one reason why they supported the act of the powers and supported the soviet union and the united states can get a they were trying to get out from under the british and french yolk. so the american consensus on the part of the iranians and they reciprocated that. believe it or not, in my book i have a chapter about iraq. you may find that they were far more involved in trying to obtain a larger portion of the iraqi oil concession that was previously understood. one of our major driving reasons for even being involved in iraq and the second world war was to change the percentage agreement of the iraqi petroleum company. so in iraq, iran and saudi arabia are important. palestine and transjordan, not so much. there for strategic reasons for the involvement there. >> we have time for one more question. >> it only deals in part with the least but i was impressed with your thought about the political culture in terms of the end of empire decolonization that roosevelt and i assure the state department. but what we see is in southeast asia france and indochina and in iran in 1953 after u
