under soviet rule. he also wanted to make it clear to the soviet union that the united states on the west could not be bullied. he supported a build up in which he said the west must for its own protection be an unwell participant. at first you might think that makes understand why we have to be an unwilling participant. but because it was because wanted to create the preconditions for real arms reductions by sending the message to the soviet union that their economy simply couldn't keep up with what the united states. and that's why he supported those real arms control agreement the zero option that led to the iron treaty and his proposal. he says, for a one third reduction in strategic ballistic missile warheads. that was the start treaty and it eventually was more than a two thirds reduction. why was reagan so confident that we were at what he called a turning point. he was confident not because of guns and, bullets, but because of ideas, he says, an early in the speech, optimism comes less easily to

nobody really believed in the soviet ideal ology and soviet approach. people in the soviet union or eastern europe wanted to be part of the bigger world. when i spent my fulbright in leningrad in 81, all people wanted to know from me was how life was in the west, how life was in america, what did my house look like? how did i shop? did i go? i mean, there was a tremendous interest and very genuine only curious about this amazing life in the west. sometimes i think they exaggerated many cases, you know, our life to some, some level of prosperity that that was just in protocol. now, that's not the case. i think now we have a an angrier, more xenophobic, more inwardly oriented, more nationalistic russia that is far more anti-western than the people in the soviet period that i recall the late soviet. so i think today's challenges are are very, very large. and i and i want to sort of leave you more with thinking that, you know, what what we were able to do in the cold war was good. today's generation has to really deal with that. plus, i think many other ver

to live in russia and with russia, oh how our russian post-soviet and at the same time fiercely anti-sovietelligentsia was sick for all these popular fronts in the baltic states at one time for all of these suddenly. former ss nazi collaborators who fell out of their cracks , but how could it be otherwise, because the baltic countries were so eager to reach europe, away away away from dirty russia, our intelligentsia applauded the love of freedom of the baltic states. at the same time, i repeat persistently, in all the listed conflicts there was already a neo-nazi scent. all these conflicts, in addition to the national issue that was playing out , were also based on the revanchist issue. all this was heavily implicated in complete, evil, rabid anti-sovietism, in the revision of the results of the great patriotic war. therefore, it must be said that the red flags in these confrontations did not appear on the russian or pro-russian side until 2022 for the first time, they rose above transnistria for the first time more than 30 years ago, as a symbol of independence and invincibility in the re

as an employee of the soviet embassy in istanbul, volkov ended up in a soviet prison, because of volkovd know this, and i know this, and i answered some things logically and completely, that is, when i realized that there was no evidence. i know of many cases in which the perpetrator was convicted only because of a guilty plea. there might not have been enough evidence, so if he had not confessed, he would never have been brought to trial, and the sentences in such cases, convictions were made only because of an admission of guilt, each interrogation lasts several hours, and so on day after day, week after week, the investigators’ calculation is simple, no one is able to withstand such pressure. he was directly accused of being a russian agent, but he never admitted it. during interrogations , kim is forbidden to smoke, so melmo decided, because an extra second of thought or an awkward movement could give him away, and milmo continues to bombard kim with questions. used the fact of his stuttering to gain time to decide the correct answer several si. for kim to spill the beans himself. i

thousands of soviet women, representatives of dozens of ours, did this. peoples, because soviet peoplewith each other, there is incredible power hidden in this, if you know how to control it, and not repeat, as if under a spell, that we are all different here, any fool can be different, it’s not difficult, you find we have the strength not only to nurture our differences, but also to discover our great commonality, especially since other strong nations also strive to move along this path. sometimes raking everything under himself. these people cannot lose. the american nation has always had resources and reserves in the form of a powerful emigrant corps. and there was always a unique ability to produce a wow effect, to make a show under any circumstances, even from the great depression and their own defeats in the second world war, they made a show, even from the preparation of dropping the atomic bomb. but this is not our way. the soviets had a great and humane superhuman idea. within the majority of citizens this idea burned, it united people, and not the nkvd smersh, and the great s

throughout the world, the soviet union is recognized as the winner.be responsible for everything. march to the defendants' bench, a fascist pack. courtroom in nuremberg. here the freedom-loving peoples of the world judge the main perpetrators of the war. let judgment be done. germany, autumn 1945. the international one begins its work. ussr, usa, great britain and france, in the dock are some of the highest-ranking functionaries of the third reich: giering, hess, rosenberg, ribentrop, keitel, donets, ydel. they will answer for everything, these warmongers are violators of peace. division of the us army. the american command received a colossal number of people who had experience of war with the soviet union. this was the most important thing. that is, this is the center of military history. he, of course, studied military history as such, but that was secondary. essentially, the historical branch of the us army recruits the service of senior wehrmacht officers. they are given the task of writing their own history of world war ii. interest in what happ

for this day we are very grateful to the soviet army. carry wreaths to the monument on the main square, they are not afraid nearby with moisture, the eu raises the soviet red banner and plays the anthem with which the red army marched forward. a holiday with soviet symbols infuriated the slovakian defense minister a couple of years ago. yaroslav nat called his compatriots from one and a half with a ford. yaroslav nat, thank god, the former minister of defense, is head over heels in the rear of america's body, so he insulted us. on the day the city was liberated from nazi germany, he called those present at the celebrations fascists. it’s too bad that politicians are trying to turn history around, they should to be grateful, because they live thanks to the fact that we were liberated by the soviet red army, if the soviets had not come then, yaroslav nas might not have lived today. jaroslav nat, like the entire previous government, resigned; in the fall of 2023 , slovakia has a new leadership that does not abandon the country’s history in

that teaches how to enjoy forgotten or famous films of the soviet period.r first satellite was launched, i naturally don’t remember, as for gagorin’s flight, i have a very vivid impression of it from childhood, of course it was complete delight, but then very few realized that, in general, this space is a kind of side effect from the arms race and from... military rocket science, because if there weren't this, there wouldn't be space. here it must be said, first of all, that a new era began in august of 1945, the nuclear era, the united states had a monopoly on the atomic bomb, and this of course made the world very unstable, and of course, no one in the united states expected that the soviet union would be able to create a nuclear a bomb to go into space in 1949, and on october 4 , 1957, launching the first satellite, that’s how this race is? concerned the spread of leftist ideas, the influence the soviet union, which was truly huge after the victory over germany, there was stalingrad, the battle of stalingrad, all this was known, the soviet union wanted t

that is, the soviet union not only, not only helped restore independence.t these small children from concentration camps, fed them. it would seem that there are irrefutable facts indicating the role of beauty. army in the victory over fascism, how can this be disputed? documents can be corrected, they can be sent there to all sorts of state storage facilities and so on, so on, we have a digital, let’s say, state, people no longer go to libraries to get documents, there is an information confrontation, we have tv, social networks. yes, like opinion leaders who, if they sing to the same, let’s say, historical trumpet, then, well, at first it will seem incredible that the soviet union did not defeat hitler there, but then some will begin to doubt, yes, then they will say, yes, it did not win. the struggle is in general for our souls, for our values, for precisely the purpose of reformatting people, because well , such a great country as russia, and earlier as the soviet union, can still be destroyed only from the inside, otherwise, by influencing the minds, le

the first two-time heroes of the soviet union in history were born in the sky above khalkingol.evets, smushkevich. for example, sergei ivanovich gritsevets single-handedly shot down two. japanese fighters, when his commander's plane crashed behind enemy lines, he sent his i-16 60 km deep into the japanese defense, landed, took a comrade on board and returned to his own. on wall, at the top there are 125 names, and at the foot of the memorial there are 81 unmarked graves. the local authorities promised us that they would be put in order by the upcoming anniversary of the victory in august. gombol dagvadorsh, now 72, has been working on memory preservation for the last 40 years. about the heroes of holhengol. his grandfather, colonel puntsygin chokdon, a hero of mongolia, participated in battles 60 times. in 1939 he was the commander of a border detachment, and after the war he became the only mongolian witness at the takii tribunal, where japanese war criminals were tried. ene gazar bol japan ankhny. on this is where the first japanese bomb fell on the city of choibalsan. they be

the relationship between cinema and fashion, recalling the most iconic images of film stars from soviet films. costume designer natalya konevskaya is with me in the studio. soviet cinema is a treasure trove of cult films. so, you know, with the already beginning glance of a costume designer i scanned every time i admired, was amazed, since childhood, so i had such an incredible opportunity to observe them, who did you like most in your everyday image, so let's say, well, anastasia vertinskaya has always been absolutely incredible, anastasia vertinskaya, they called her the soviet audre hebborn, elegant, sophisticated aristocratic appearance. she conveyed beautiful images not only on the screen, but in everyday life. i was amazed then that she wore flat shoes, which we all love so much now, with long skirts, men's boots, always some interesting headdresses, hats, caps, berets, and there was another amazing moment, she already wore one earring long, oh so yes, she was an absolute trainer, she overtook the fashion, wore these... huge jackets with wide shoulders, a long coat to the floor, s

so unusual for him are the women of the country of the soviets.so much that many belarusians were talked about not only in the ussr; they proved to the world with their achievements. in the soviet union, conditions have been created for the first time in history. for the self-realization of women in politics, creativity, production in science, and many really changed this world? look in the next episode about larisa alexandrovskaya, an outstanding opera singer, the first belarusian artist to be awarded the title of people's artist of the soviet union. it is clear that god will melt away the snow, son. materially. she especially raised the younger generation with love for god and devotion to the homeland. they were in weakness, their needs were helped spiritually and what unique shrines are belarusian churches famous for? in the cathedral of the exaltation of the cross of the monastery there is a copy of the same cross which was created with the blessing of st. euphrasinia. another important shrine of the monastery is its. traveling is not just abo

what the soviets understood what their concern was. they've been innovated twice through eastern europe. mm hm. live germany. what they want that after world war 2 was a buffer zone. and they say, so there security in terms of space and territory and geography. so they wanted a buffer zone and they did not impose lock step quote unquote, communist or soviet style governments. immediately after the war. there was even a relative degree of democracy allowed ace to europe. they had elections, they had a open discussion. it wasn't really until the truman doctrine in early 47, that the soviets began to crack down and impose the kind of dic tutorial governments that we saw in, in eastern europe. but that was after they've given up on the united states. and so that when somebody got that's on, so that's what i was getting at, did they, did they, did they cut down because we pushed them in that direction because we started seeing from what i was just telling and what i read mostly of your materials. it seemed like harry truman didn't even want

on august 20, 1939, the victorious offensive of soviet-mongolian units in all directions.ived from tokyo from richard sorge's group that... they believed false reports that zhukov had given the order to prepare for defense. in 4 days, the enemy forces were cut into several parts, surrounded and completely defeated. of course, the group that tried to prove that the main blow should have been carried out against soviet russia and china, it lost. the most important thing is that this group at that moment controlled the japanese government. that's why. immediately after the molotov-ribbentrop pact, the government in japan changed, when you and i talk about why japan never attacked us during the second world war, we must clearly understand that this happened thanks to the battle on the khalkhengol river and the simultaneous conclusion of the molotov-ribentrop pact . having received rebuff on the mongolian border, the japanese abandoned the idea of ​​entering the war with the soviet union, simultaneously with nazi germany. there is a painting in the museum in nasu city. emperor

didn't agree with churchill regarding the soviets. he kind of like the more least respect to the churchill disliked all of us. by the way, wallace was no fan of church on either. i'll show you a clip now is interesting where wallace all but calls churchill publicly a drunk. i said lovely. the notion of anglo saxon superior or did it in church as approach will be offensive to many treacher. that's quite a bit of whisky said why be apologetic about under sex on seberio, or is it that we were superior? that's right. as i drink by whiskey, i will tell you we are superior to every us. so it was a great thing about church. you didn't like imperialism. he also believes he can work with the soviets. that sounds troubling, too. that makes them popular with people all throughout the americas. for example, live america, where i come from and latin america. this guy visits almost every single country, any celebrated locate the neighborhood, not when the upper part is says i have the good fortune of visiting other pieces other countries, pardon me

the republics of the former soviet union fought the nazis practically alone.ime, almost all of europe worked for the military power of the wehrmacht. well, it actually hit the russians with historical memory, because let's look again, this is the parade on may 1, 1941 in moscow, here is this parade on may 1, 1941, and in this parade, who is in it present, it turns out, officers of the wehrmacht, the same one, are present the german, the nazi, with which the soviet union will literally be in a couple of months, here they are standing calmly, as you can see, walking in the parade, marching there together with the soviet troops, greeting the soviet military leaders, at the moment when europe is already the second year is fighting with the german army, at the moment when london is being bombed, at the moment when england is waging war in general, at this moment, the germans are celebrating together. and the nazis, that is, this is the story, and now they tell that how did they open the second front, the second front was opened in in the year 39, and it lasted from

egypt into the arms of the soviet union.ts of such a traditional colonial policy of great britain to a large extent, on the other hand, this is one of the first such hot conflicts of the cold war, the second, actually after korea. we continue, today our topic is arab-israeli. these relations, after the already six-day war, which we will now talk about, the palestinians, palestinian arabs, their organizations are beginning to actively switch to terrorist methods, and not only territory of israel, but beyond the borders, the most famous is the situation with the olympics in munich and the terrorist attack of the black september organization, yes, but this is how, from what the world learned about palestinian terrorism in general and to a large extent, by the way, learned about the problem of palestine as such, because until this moment the arabs... israeli relations were one thing, and another thing were some palestinian arabs, yes, to whom no one actually paid attention in big politics, this is where the roots of terrorism in

a holiday with soviet symbols infuriated the slovakian defense minister a couple of years ago. yaroslav nagy called his compatriots from potortor a rabble. yaroslav nat, thank god, the former secretary of defense, is head over heels in america's rear end, which is why he insulted us. on the day of the city's liberation from nazi germany, he was present here at the celebrations. they should be grateful because they live thanks to the fact that the soviet red army liberated us. if the advice had not come then, so would yaroslav nat, perhaps today i wouldn't live. jaroslav nat, like the entire previous government, resigned; in the fall of 2023 , slovakia has a new leadership that does not abandon the country’s history in order to please. overseas friends. this applause is for the prime minister, who has been in office for several months. on april 4, robert fica, on the anniversary of the liberation of bratislava , came to the memorial where different generations of slovaks lay flowers every spring. come here every year? yes, from such a young age. warriors of the red army. but we

the soviet command is tactically much weaker than the german one.was very critical of russian tactics. russian. offensive tactics: a three-minute fire raid, then a pause, after which an infantry attack with a shout of hurray in deep -seated battle formations of up to 12 waves, without support from heavy weapons fire, even in cases where attacks are carried out from long distances, hence the incredibly large losses of the russians, in fact it was the other side of the coin, that there is a certain image of the russians, so to speak, as somehow poorly organized, but at least they have no... problems with the manpower of the masses, but on the soviet-german front there, with a colossal superiority in people, the red army acted ineffectively, which is not true, now even the western one. stories within the project. in germany itself , a paradoxical situation has been developing for years: in a divided, defeated country, for many years are silent about the past and listen to the voice of the vanquished, who are interested in this silence. the awakening be

army over the nazis, and specifically for bringing russian and soviet flags and military banners of the red army to the memorials. as well as st. george's ribbon. thousands of people came to treptow park on may 9 to express their respect for the feat of soviet soldiers. from berlin, reporting by mikhail antonov. in the morning, at the entrance to treptow park, the police are aggressively inspects visitors for soviet and russian symbols, as well as other prohibited items. carefully studies the content of the banners. is there anything in support of svo? after all, russia instrumentalizes victory day in order to justify current policies. the berlin authorities are sure that for them, everything that does not fit into the template, they came, laid flowers and left, seems to be a potential threat to public safety, the answer to which is preventive tightening of the screws, so that by the middle of the day there was a half-kilometer queue at the entrance, those prohibitions, which, i think, is not coming from the police, i think that this is a political instruction, the police are genera

for the british leadership , the soviet union, soviet russia, immediately from the moment of its formationepresented an existential threat as a state that, firstly, inherited geopolitical traditions. hitler deceived the british, but the british did not children in politics, england is the largest power, which is a power of the old world, they are excellent and sophisticated politicians, british diplomacy is one of the oldest diplomacy, and to deceive the oldest diplomacy, well, this is probably necessary. therefore, if we talk about my personal opinion, it seems to me that it is quite difficult to deceive such a diplomatic school of such sophisticated politicians, who are representatives of the old world to make the maximum amount of effort, so we can say as much as we like that something it was not agreed or someone’s promises were not fulfilled, but in fact here it is more like a situation from the dialect, despite the fact that the main ... battles of the second world war took place in the land theater of military operations, on the eastern front, the significance fleet for the german w

the us and uk feared the spread of leftist ideas. the influence of the soviet union, which was trulyad, the battle of stalingrad, all this was known, the soviet union wanted to ensure its security with the help creating such a belt of friendly states around it in order to prevent a repetition of the situation on june 22 , 1941, yes, when hostile germany was everywhere on the western borders of the ussr, either she or her allies started the atomic project. in the ussr, he gave a decree of the state defense committee in the forty-second year, but only in august of the forty-fifth year, after kheroshima and nagasaki, they began to allocate truly large funds for this, the deputy chairman of the state defense committee, it is important to say that the state committee defense is during the war the highest authority in the ussr, that is, not the politburo, namely the state defense committee, the state defense committee, and so the deputy chairman of the state defense committee, the chairman was stalin, the deputy was beria, lavrenti pavlovich beria becomes the curator. atomic project, scien

in the seventies of the century, the state border was soviet. the ussr and afghanistan stretched from iran to china, almost 2,500 km through mountain gorges, lakes and rivers, deserts and steppes, along the territory of the turkmen, uzbek and tajik ussr. more than 200 years afghanistan was in the area of ​​interest of the english crown, as a strategic springboard for defense. on july 17, 1973, taking advantage of the absence of the king in the country, his cousin, by the way, the former prime minister of the country muhammad dawood, carried out a coup d'etat, but this government also had many opponents. in search of allies in the struggle for power, daoud concludes an economic agreement. in april 1978 , a revolution breaks out in afghanistan: daoud is killed, and the ussr -backed people's democratic party comes to power. her head nurmahamad tarakiy signs a treaty of friendship and cooperation with the soviet union. assistance is being provided to afghanistan, houses, social and industrial, are being built. western intelligence agencies are promo

first there was the soviet-french leon gorosy druga, then the soviet-hungarian alberegia., by the way, by giuseppa desantis, who knows. approach to to reveal the topic, he had, of course, his main muse, his most famous film bitter rice, silvana mangana, perhaps, having seen samoilova, he saw something in common between them, well, who knows. i remind you that this is a podcast of lisenstein's witnesses, and today there is a special episode dedicated to the anniversary. in these joint productions, there’s a feeling that samoilova is being cast precisely because she’s samoilova, not because she’s an actress, but because she’s an actress from the movie the cranes are flying. that is, on the one hand she is a representative of soviet cinema, on the other on the other hand, she is this sign, she is veronica , the cranes will fly away, in the film leon gorosyushchy friend, she is generally an actress and singer, she plays such a rather eccentric person, who, in principle, the plot is about how a frenchman is looking for his comrade in arms in the soviet union, that is, this the

captain nalepka actively lured his colleagues to the soviet side.s next to one of the red army generals. slovak soldiers conveyed information about the location of the germans, and the soviet partisans behaved neutrally towards the slovak soldiers, pretending not to see each other, and did not shoot at each other. losses, but the advance of the soviet troops was not stopped. the slovak national uprising is, if you like, one of the pillars of the self-identification of the slovak nation. the participants in this uprising went to the mountains and were partisans. these 130,000 people really fought actively. when the war ended, then slovakia was not among those who would have been in the camp of the losers, a satellite of hitler’s germany with all that it entails. hence political, legal, moral, economic consequences. the first settlement in slovakia was liberated by the red army on october 3 , 1944. there were 7 months of continuous, hardest fighting ahead. the red army marched forward, it brought freedom to all of czechoslovakia. it was spring, and it

from the soviet bandera's army fled under the wing of the americans.can occupation zone after the war was in austria, and the shortest route to it was through slovakia. another one. a village in the east of slovakia, there is also a memorial in memory of those who died at the hands of bandera. fallen soldiers of the czechoslovak people's army who died in battles against bandera in 1947. and names. six soldiers, a military operation was needed to stop the terror; they could clear slovakia of bandera’s supporters only by 1949. i was in lutsk. i was in lutsk, crying from despair when i saw a monument to bandera there. bandera, bandera, my god. well, the european union does not condemn this in any way. the european union is bandits. these are bandits. their goal is to destroy the slavic peoples, my brothers, their goal is to destroy the slavic peoples, nothing else, look, they robbed the whole world, they want to chop russia into pieces and profit from it, after the war, more than 400 monuments were erected to soviet soldiers throughout europe, but now ban

and for a former soviet sphere. we're looking at a delegation from law allows, which is as of late to become very, very close with russia in terms of, in terms of economic and political cooperation as well as cuba. the cuban president himself is here attending this year's red square military parade in honor of 79 years of victory over fascism and he and his delegation are here, of course, enjoying this rest, taking parade that's going on behind me. so really, this is an occasion that anyone who receives an invitation, anyone who has the opportunity to see these military parades and on are those who fox news in the great patriotic award to free the world from fascism. anyone who has the opportunity to see something like that. okay, don't. okay, it's on. yeah, listen, it's income. the boys with that big tories right now with that with the ahmed ahmed vehicles, the post and l carriers. other times we're going to be seeing the nuclear try out today. the components of the, of on job system to the i'll be going to see the

the soviet union, all the republics of the former soviet union fought the nazis almost single-handedlyt time, almost all of europe worked for the military power of the wehrmacht. well, this is actually a historical memory. struck a chord with the russians, because let's look again, this is a may 1 , 41 parade in moscow, here it is, this parade, may 1, 41, and in this parade, who it is attended by, it turns out, officers of the wehrmacht, the same german, nazi, with whom the soviet union will fight literally in a couple of months, they are standing calmly here, you see, walking in the parade. they march there together with the soviet troops, greet the soviet military commanders, at the moment when europe is already at war with... the german army for the second year, at the moment when london is being bombed, at the moment when england is waging a war in general, that is germans and nazis celebrate this moment together, that is, this is the story, and now they are telling how the second front was opened, the second front was opened in 1939, and it has been going on since 1939, this is ru
