that he did not believe intelligence reports that nazi germany was preparing an attack on the soviet union was a miscalculation. as for diplomatic ones. actions of soviet diplomacy, then, in my opinion, there were no miscalculations. soviet diplomacy acted within the framework that was given to it, and it acted quite successfully. on june 22, 1941, the entire soviet foreign policy again turned 180°. yesterday's friends, allies and partners have become enemies. yesterday's enemies should have been made allies. molotov's new task was to organize an anti-hitler coalition. in this situation , the soviet government turned its policy 180°, taking the path of closest cooperation with great britain, therefore with the united states and, consequently, with all the governments that were already in london at that time. at that time, it was not yet the anti-hitler coalition, but those countries that were blockading around great britain. and thus this very one arose. who included the soviet union in the lend-lease company, the anti-hiller coalition had already begun to cross itself, after some very sho

, the soviet union over there . the remaining soviet union is the russian federation, and indeedutin really wanted to conduct real negotiations, he would obviously find ways to conduct them, because he is the head of a nuclear power, he is somehow counted on, he is somehow feared, if he wants to sit down at the transition table, as the west says, for a constructive conversation, he will be talked to, the question is whether they will talk to us in russia, even if we want the so- called constructive... if from the point of view of the russian leadership, we are not the soviet union, but simply some small separatist territory of this soviet union, the task of which is simply to say what they say, to carry out what they say, just some kind of ukrainian ssr, well, this is altogether strange, if i consider myself the president of the soviet union to pay attention to this union republic, well, remember lithuania in 1900 there in the 90th year. announced the restoration of its independence, and the first thing the soviet union did was to impose an economic blockade on lithuania and then

and then it would be circulated around the soviet union so people could understand what were the conditions of the gulag what was it like to be in siberia? and so that people in soviet in the soviet union would better what was actually going on in their own country and. when you say can just an audience free food can or household can correct. the great thing about intelligence work is you try to be ordinary. you to make everything look like nothing is out of place. so if you're going to smuggle something in, you want to use something like an ordinary can to put your control band, your books that can't be produced in that country, in that can, and then get it into the country also on display are bags and disguises how are those used during the cold war so one of the hardest things about operating in the soviet union is a constant surveillance. the kgb is everywhere they know everyone, they're looking at everything. and so when our officers are going out to meet with our assets it is a very dangerous proposition. and so if their photograph together that could mean a disaster for that that ass

the soviet union, the soviet union remained over there on the other side of the border.oviet union is the russian federation, and indeed, if vladimir putin really wanted to hold real negotiations, he would obviously find ways to hold them, because he is the head of the nuclear states, they count on him one way or another, they fear him one way or another, if he wants to sit down at the transition table, as the west says, for a constructive conversation, they will talk to him, the question is whether they will talk to... us in russia , even if we want a so-called constructive conversation, if from the point of view of the russian leadership we are not the soviet union, but just some small separatist territory of this soviet union, the task of which is simply to say what they say, to carry out what they say, just some the ukrainian ssr, well, it is generally strange, if i consider myself the president of the soviet union, to pay attention to this union republic, well, remember. in 1900, in the 90th year, lithuania announced the restoration of its independence, and the firs

the soviet union. well, by the way, this is part of it the political elite still perceives that if we want something, we will certainly achieve it. we don't hold talks simply because we don't want to, but we should want to, but now we don't want to talk with putin, but if we want to, he will immediately. will be ready to talk about anything and agree on everything with us, because you can't not talk to us, but the problem is that we are not the soviet union, the soviet union remained over there on the other side of the border, the soviet union is the russian federation, and indeed, if vladimir putin really wanted to to conduct real negotiations, he would obviously find ways to conduct them, because he is the head of a nuclear state, he is counted on one way or another, he is feared one way or another if he wants to sit down at the table. negotiations, as the west says, for a constructive conversation, they will talk to him, the question is whether they will talk to us in russia, even if we want a so-ca

we're not going out the soviet union, there are enemies. and then died when soviet union ended and a yeltsin is economic team asked me to help. i said the same thing about russia, again 0. i thought that's pretty weird because what i'm recommending for russia is exactly what i recommended for poland and it worked for poland and the white house support and what i recommended for for one. but in the same conditions, it doesn't do it for russia. 5 is a little now you've, i have to say because as an economist, i was making economic recommendations how to help. but i don't think the mood of rumsfeld and cheney and others in 1992 was the help. it was, hey, when they heard the social world superpower, we get to change everything right now. and then i waited for with clinton coming in . no real change. and then on and on, and i began to see that and, and understand better. quite frankly, i, you know, as you grow up in, in this because i've really worked all over the world and i quite extensively and well over a 100 countries i had visited good for

the soviet union understood that belarus was a little ahead of science, including the soviet union. coped with the difficult task of building a production facility that was fundamentally new for the republic, in reports from the central belarusian television of that period. all the most significant events that took place in the bssr. before the program, they were behind-the-scenes, we sat upstairs in the studio with headphones and, without looking, read story after story, and the commands, faster, stop, continue, tune in, they were just watching the behind-the-scenes film story, this was the very first release of the program at the time. but how the construction of a fundamentally new production facility, an oil refinery, began in the republic in 1958 was first reported by belarusian television. tv crews not only covered the construction of this plant, but also the development of this young city itself, from the moment of creation of the plant, from the moment of construction to its commissioning to the creation of the first first products. in its news programs, it covered its main

sanctions against part of the soviet union? well, we don't think so, but you think, you think, that we are part of the soviet union, mykola ivanovich says, yes, i'm sure, the lithuanian ssr is part of the soviet union, and how do you oppose you introduce economic sanctions on the citizens of the soviet union so that they live worse, and he says, well, how do we punish, we have the right, we punish you, we are the leadership and we know better what is up to us, it is not up to you to decide, we, why should you... you can't live if you don't obey, that is, this attitude is like children, not citizens, and he was absolutely convinced that this is how it all works, you can give candy to good children, and you can ban candy from bad children eat and stop all the trains with candy there or with oil or something else borders of this union republic, to understand how in this union republic without the soviet union, and remember, all the years of our independence. before this war, the russian federation always blackmailed us with gas, i

the soviet union in the eighties, and he mentioned that then the soviet union spent 13% of its national8.5%, that is, while 8.5% is definitely not being spent, and i’m not sure that there are plans to spend such amounts, but at the same time it is obvious that... there are opportunities to spend more on defense, and , given the price structure in russia for the same money, russia can acquire more weapons than the united states. so i want to understand, when they think, when they talk about victory over russia, do they say this at the level of rhetoric, or do they really believe in the possibility of such a victory, if it is as they imagine? when they talk about victory, i think this is done at the level of rhetoric, because it is impossible to imagine any other explanation, only if the person has completely gone crazy, so of course i don’t know. in my head that this is rhetoric or already insanity, i hope that it’s just rhetoric, but to understand what's going on here, you can go back to the time of the vietnam war, one of the best articles on this topic was written by daniel ellsberg,

for the soviet union this was a fateful decision.eriod. general chemicalization, the country was in dire need not only of fundamentally new products, its food security was at stake. bet on expansion of sown areas, development of new lands, including cylindrical lands, did not bring the expected result, it became clear that it was necessary to increase soil fertility. agriculture was in dire need of fertilizers. virgin lands proved that even with an increase in these cultivated lands, the expansion of areas, it cannot lead to an intensive improvement of agriculture, first of all, this was proven by the fact that there was not enough water for irrigation, so to speak, of these new areas, and not there was enough fertilizer. in front of everyone measures taken in the bssr in agriculture, soil fertility was... even the lands of neighboring republics. the work to improve them is extremely important for belarus, and this is much -needed fertilizer. the right decision was made to focus on the state of soil fertility and the use of fertilize

hemanguy loved the soviet union very much, although he had never been to the soviet union, since it wastatorship, of the proletariat. hemanguy perfectly understood the role of the soviet. the union played in the defeat of nazi germany and the idea of ​​collectivism of hemingway, who suffered terribly from loneliness, were to some extent close, although he also understood some of the danger that totalitarian collectivism carried. khamengue never visited russia, although... even today , khamengue’s name is not in major american anthologies, as if this was retribution for his lifetime fame, although his poetics, subtext and ability to remove everything superfluous, what changed world literature, without which you can’t imagine her. we are in position one of the most unusual units, about which there have been a lot of misunderstandings recently. and how much did you receive? 10 years of bookmarking, i will believe in easy money. even about... i would have remained for 2 years the same drug addict who was put in prison, now i came out as a holder of the st. george's cross, the state gave us

people arrived here every day and from all over the soviet union.onstruction department contacted polotsk by radio; additional construction materials were needed. right next to the next one. there was a personnel department, which was responsible for the registration of new arrivals at the construction site. the komsomol committee was located in the farthest corner. for now it consisted of the komsomol organizer and his two assistants, but the work was didn't stop. particular attention to visual propaganda, ready-made posters calling on komsomol members to join the all-union construction project and a newspaper. the first issue of a future circulation with a catchy title. new construction banner. it was then, years later, that the first tent monument would appear on this site in novopolotsk. at the same time, the first issue of the newspaper reported that on august 6, 1958, the predvinsky wasteland was solemnly packed up by construction workers. the first peg, it is at this place that the construction of the first oil refinery in the republic will b

well, just like in europe in order to defeat the soviet union.e people's commissariat of foreign affairs, come on. sign. stalin's personal assistant po skrebyshev alexander nikolaevich had never been so worried before reporting to the leader. he once again scanned the cover letter from the people's commissariat of foreign affairs signed by molotov. hand over the envelope in person. this was churchel's response to comrade stalin's letter, addressed to him on july 18, 1941, which was so awaited in the kremlin in which the supreme commander-in-chief... described the difficult situation at the front, he further writes: “it seems to me that the military situation of the soviet union, as well as great britain, would be significantly improved “if a front were created against hitler in the west, northern france in the northern arctic. it would be easiest to create such a front now, when hitler’s forces are diverted to the east, and hitler has not yet managed to consolidate his positions in the east.” secretary translator to me, soon the secretary was alr

that syria would like to establish diplomatic relations with the soviet union, this was acceptedde, but this presupposed a meeting at a higher level, not just at the level of a member of parliament, at the level of the minister of foreign affairs of the then syria, or one of the members of the government. it was agreed that nikolai vasilyevich would make a trip to syria, the then people's commissar molotov gave a positive answer, and upon receipt of this answer on july 26 , diplomatic relations between syria and the soviet union are considered established. it must be said that the middle east region during the cold years wars now, and in general, from a historical perspective, have always played a very important strategic significance, therefore the middle east during the cold war was a place of rivalry between various forces, and the united states of america, as part of its leadership policy, sought to project power into this region very harshly opposed those states that were not ready to let in militarily. contingents or support israel, which is friendly to the united states, f

, but in general, as putin said not so long ago, he says, there is no longer a soviet union, ithat it was not only directed against the soviet union, probably against that so that the russian question can be finally resolved. now they are trying to fight a war in ukraine through a proxy, but they never hid it, this is not a question for them, a question for us, this is a question for us , that we regularly came up with everything about them, their kistish character has never been. in ukraine, in ukraine, today it’s very interesting, yes, besides speaking about ukraine, i’ll say a few more words, you know, after the soviet union was destroyed, that means nato, in the last 30 years only, about three thirty different military operations, provil, and what methods, again phosphorus methods, which means cluster shells, any, photographing at the base. in the early days, no, when people lived a little differently, but already in the russian empire there, well, it’s always been in all countries, probably this creature, we have it, but we it was drawn out from this cultural layer in the m

a story of the failures of the soviet union and then post-soviet russia in east asia, the dreams or the the fantasies, but the failure to realize those dreams. and today, as i said, we have to run the world. as you can see, the kremlin's cold war bid for global. so the three earlier books in many ways set up this monumental task of history. we're very lucky to have here today part of an initiative that is predominantly tomorrow conference on the cold war organized by our senior fellow colleague neil ferguson. if those of you who know what scotsman look like, will know that neil is us right behind sergei and we all pass around the books so that people can get acquainted with it. but we're going take i'm going to take it home because. it's inscribed to me. okay. i could tell you many other things. sergei rodchenko. he has a named chair at the johns hopkins school of advanced international studies, the kissinger center, his happens to be in bologna. that's where based the site school of advanced international studies is based in washington. so he goes and forth. he knows multiple languages

mikhailov was awarded the high title of hero of the soviet union. belarus celebrates independence day and the eightieth anniversary of its liberation from the nazi invaders. july 3 is a holy holiday for every belarusian who thinks otherwise is not ours, not ours in the spirit of blood, because the country died during the great patriotic war, every third person was killed, at least 3 million civilians and prisoners of war. almost every family lost a husband, son, brother, father, their heroic women, if every mother, wife or daughter who lost a loved one after the liberation of belarus, after the great victory if i had tied a black scarf, then the end of the region would not have been for this funeral procession; the belarusian soil contains the remains of millions of people who not only died on the battlefields, but also were killed in cold blood... during the great patriotic war , over 260 concentration camps were organized on the territory of belarus and other similar places where our people were forcibly held, where our people died in inhuman cond

kimanguy loved the soviet union very much, although he... had never been to the soviet union, since ittly understood the role that the soviet union played in the defeat of nazi germany, the ideas of collectivism of khimenguy, who suffered terribly from loneliness, were to some extent close, although he also understood... some of the danger that it carries, well totalitarian collectivism. khamingui never visited russia, although he planned to come in 1935 and before the war in 1960, during the years of suicide, in cuba he met with the soviet diplomat anastas mikayan and also promised to come as soon as finish a new novel. in the seventies, interest in his works faded. even today , khamengue's name does not appear in major american anthologies. as if this is retribution for his lifetime fame, although his poetics, subtext and ability to remove all unnecessary things are what changed world literature, without which it cannot be imagined. vladimir putin signed changes in the field of individual housing construction and the development of children's and youth sports.

a remain the soviet union, since the alternative was not to enter into globalism and the soviet union amazing, it ended with that globalism died, either it was choked by the soviet union, or something else happened to it, but globalism is gone, we no longer live in a global world and... following the collapse of the globalism process, the collapse of the globalism project occurred, now the demarcation of the borders of new pan-regions is taking place, the most important border that remains to be demarcated is the border between east and west, and military operations in ukraine, this is an attempt to determine where this border between east and west will be, and this border will be much, well, let’s just say , more serious than the notorious iron curtain, these... two ice floes, they are diverging before our eyes, and there will be no, no common field, i’ll just remind you that the earth is round, so if they toast with theirs, with its edges behind, yes, that’s true, that’s true, but the point is that now at the moment this kind of discrepancy will lead to the fact that this olympic fi

2 days there has been a historical breakthrough, which we have not had since the times of the soviet uniony? i think that's what i mean, right? i think logic, i think the logic of development, yes, but who are we anyway? what if? look from the perspective of western political economic thought 4.5% yes we are in terms of level gdp, hello, you are hard to see, we are , with all due respect , less than 10% in population than these countries, at the same time, these countries communicate with us not just as equals, but sometimes even almost just shoulder to shoulder, back to back back, but also a completely different level of relations, while we... countries to answer the question of what is the significance of our india and for china, in addition to the traditional reference history to philosophy, the significance is that... we are not afraid to take take responsibility, resources, warheads, well, we are not afraid to take responsibility, but we were not afraid to betray, we betrayed everyone in the nineties, well, objectively, of course, i also always argue that it was not us, well , excuse

there are targets for you in all parts of the soviet union.second, very well -thought-out option of escaping abroad, well , of course, i would run in, what will choose the moles, that’s the question, be careful, i’m always careful, major, find the head of the security service, have him urgently report to the control room, and mobilize all our employees, everyone you can, the version is going to hell, the man was a stutterer and suddenly he speaks like cicero. i really hope that you don’t have to blame yourself for not wanting to help us. you are a very good shooter. hello, colonel kostenko. confrontation premier according to the legendary book. all the tragedies of the century began with a shot fired on june 28, 1914 in a bosnian barn. the desired goal of the serbian high school student was the death of the heir to the austro-hungarian throne, franz ferdinand. and the unexpected result was the first world war. a new cursed era of unprecedented cruelty of global wars, revolutions, concentration camps, the fall of empires and the reshaping of th

for the soviet union, this was a fateful decision.ussr, during the period of general chemicalization, the country was in dire need of not only fundamentally new products. lead to a kind of intensive improvement of agriculture, first of all this was proven by the fact that there was not enough water to irrigate, so to speak, these new areas, and there was not enough fertilizer. with all the measures taken in agriculture in the bssr, soil fertility was not comparable with the lands of even neighboring republics. work to improve them is extremely important for belarus. and this is much needed fertilizer, the right decision was made to focus on the state of soil fertility for the use of fertilizers. 8-10 centers of grain was what was collected at that time. the problem was also the types of fertilizers, especially nitrogen ones, there were not enough of them, and the highly acidic belarusian soils required constant liming, the only way... this could solve the problem. nitrogen fertilizer is the most important element for literally all cro

the luch, vympil, and zarya watches, popular in the soviet union, are associated with an entire era, th several generations of soviet watches. people who could hardly imagine their lives without the main brand of the country, products of the luch trademark. they remain a brand today, still recognizable, also popular and also interesting for their design and variety of models. and this despite the fact that watch production in the bssr started from scratch. the republic of belarus was not typical for the country, because, as we all know, the republic is well developed and has extensive experience in the industry of some kind of large mechanical engineering, and watches. what is small, very precise. the republic as a whole began to develop new, unusual industries. and, as time has shown, in many areas belarus quickly became a leader. in the showroom of the minsk watch factory at the beginning of march 1974, a private display of a new watch collection. belarusian watchmakers presented it to the high moscow commission ; a traditional spring fair opened in leipzig in the gdr. the elegant-l

generation, it was born in 1991 by accident. it began back in 1991 , at the time of the fall of the soviet unionall, the two countries that stalin occupied the baltic states became part of the european union, therefore nato and the eu entered the former space of the soviet union. but for sure , the orange revolution is like that, it was very european, in the 14th it was about stopping putin's actions on blocking a very specific road, so... the union, the commission speak perfectly, and then it refers to 27 countries through each parliament , cyprus, malta, italy, hungary, poland, slovakia, and each country must have a parliamentary majority. and i don't know what it looks like, because putin. china can buy everything change everything. maybe one country will say no. let's see how it was now with the expansion of nato to the western neutral countries, sweden and finland. without full security, full military protection. therefore, it will be something completely new, to combine the classic issues of expansion, trade, exchange of people, along with a certain military provision of that part of ukrai

the soviet union still did not have enough gold, the situation was radically changed by kolyma.st of the country were predicted to be. our gold miners are also super socially responsible, due to the fact that they are in their own closed circuit, they all build gyms and children's schools in their towns, because they create, well, not just closed communities, but in order to attract workers , they need to create this social infrastructure.

the real darling of the ussr was indira gandhi, who visited the soviet union nine times. monuments were opened in her honor, and city squares were named for children. in july 1966, already the future prime minister on soviet television, she stated that friendship between india and the ussr was not just a fact, but an important international factor. is of such a strategic nature because long-term directions are outlined cooperation and economic, in the field of energy security and, very importantly, in the field of science and technology, education, there are simply breakthrough things here, long-term goals of interaction have been outlined on a number of global problems, i believe that this is a big step forward. india has only one approach: we always protect our own interests, relations with russia are as important as relations with other major partners, the west must accept that... the problem today is that there are too many russian assets in indian banks, it was it would be advisable to invest them in indian objects so that they do not just lie there, but advance the i

will begin there, although we already went through all this in 1991 after the collapse of the soviet uniond nothing terrible happened, at that time they were also afraid of the then president of the usa bush, the elder was coming to kyiv, told the verkhovna rada that ukraine should not secede from the soviet union, because it would be chaos and disaster. nevertheless, this chaos happened and nothing terrible happened. i think we also need to convince our diplomats, our politicians, our leaders, our western partners that there is nothing wrong with the collapse of russia, because with the country that is today called the russian federation, uh, i don't see any prospects, no negotiations, no agreement, well, you know what i mean, that is, this people with whom there is simply nothing to talk about, if there is someone left in the west who thinks... that you can agree on something with them, i will never agree with such a person, and believe me, this is my own experience, my political, diplomatic experience, i know many people in the russian federation with whom i communicated, well, i have n
