can't be, and they actually decided to stop it militarily, and on august 21, the troops of the warsaw pactntries added that poland, east germany, hungary, the ussr invaded the territory of the czech republic, and actually, here in the center of prague, there were tanks soviet tanks, soviet military, which, according to eyewitnesses, some of them did not even understand what they were doing there, and it is clear that when this day is remembered in the czech republic, a lot of parallels are drawn with ukraine, because at that time, the military units of czechoslovakia were also attacked by the military the airfield, yes, the same people, civilians. people protested against the border, they basically went to the tanks and armored personnel carriers with their bare hands, and many people died. at that time, large and heavy people died. such battles were near the czechoslovak radio station, which was one of those places. when the military of the warsaw pact wanted to buy e in order to interrupt the broadcasting of this radio and e not to allow this information to spread over the airwaves thank

i mean, poland point had more security cover at all after the abolition of the warsaw pact. warsaw was alone in the world with 30,000 soviet troops still on its soil that was negotiating for their departure but poland had every interest in a good relationship with the united states and this intelligence part of it really was a spearhead. in the aftermath of the exfiltration we had visits from the head of the cia, judge webster and head of the fbi bill sessions and i can remember the polls gave the dinner, the wwelcoming dinner to judge webster in a low which was quite near my residence and which was notorious as polish intelligence villa that had in 1964 they had died mysteriously in that villa. my wife and i walked past it every day so we had a dinner for george webster there and the next night my wife and i gave a dinner down the street in our residents and igor pinsky i said to him going back to the earlier traits he said well, that was a treat for you, imagine what kind of a treat it is for me because i know every note and cranny of my residence but i've never been inside

their cities on the night of august 20 to august 21, 1968 , the troops of the five countries of the warsaw pact invaded czechoslovakia to suppress the prague spring . union and its allies of poland, east germany , bulgaria and hungary invaded czechoslovakia with the aim of suppressing the democratic transformations initiated by the local party leader oleksandr dubczyk, in a few hours the country was occupied in street protests began in prague and other cities for several days in the czech republic, they tried to fight the invaders as hard as they could, threw stones , molotov cocktails with sticks and even fists, soviet soldiers used weapons, according to the estimates of czech historians, up to 130 citizens died, more than half a thousand were injured, the invasion forced the leadership of czechoslovakia to curtail the reforms of the prague spring was suppressed, the occupying soviet troops remained in the country until 1991, first president yeltsin and then putin asked the czechs and slovaks apologies for the self-incrimination, however, after 2014, moscow's position changed dramatically, now

but now we've moved that line 1200 miles to the east and incorporated all these former warsaw pact states into our alliance and in fact we've even from the russian point of view by bringing the baltic into naito, we've left the russian mini province, kaliningrad behind, nato's lines between, the baltic sea, lithuania and poland. and we've seen the controversy over lithuania. you inspecting and closing the railway between russia. are really belarus and kaliningrad. to the russians and could see how that could lead to a major conflict right there right on the border with our nato's ally, poland. and conflict with our nato allies in the baltic. now and then, of course in ukraine. major part of the controversy. america, first of all, promising official aid to bring ukraine into naito, which biden reiterated in september and october of last year, helping lead to the russian build up and then the but also as said in the new york times explicitly, the de facto integration of naito, the normalization of their military and integration of its systems in with the united states and the rest of naito.

warring camps the frg entered the western bloc and joined nato, and the gdr became a member of the warsaw pact. the ussr proposed to recreate a united but neutral germany; this did not suit the united states of their allies, but in the late eighties, moscow, on the wave of perestroika and the collapse of the international socialist the commonwealth surrendered its positions during the negotiations, there was every chance to guarantee germany's non-bloc status and the expansion of the east , as well as to observe the interests of the gdr. however, this was not done and it was not reunification that occurred, but the absorption of east germany by west on the basis of article 23 of the constitution of the frg here. there was this day in history. every human being is born with five souls and every soul is a bird on all sides of me now crushing me like never before. and i don't know who my wife is. how much longer do we live? i do not care. lord daddy heart hello, the main legal events of the day will be told by correspondents directly to the duty of the unit. i maxim movchan in st. petersburg anno

but what was happening inside the warsaw pact general command. gerally recognized as one of the great if not the greatest asset that the ignited states ever had and all of the former soviet control. poland begins to move towards pushing for nato extension, there is significant lobbying within the cia for the government to make thela exoneration in poland almost a part of poland transition. but while poland was applyingnd for nato if you will the cia and the u.s. administration in thisl case the clinton administration, basically arguing you have to exonerate this guy. it is important for you to recognize his service. there is significant pushback in poland against this. military officers most prominent was a poster boy to make communism in the 1980s. his argument was, if the got this guy is a hero what is that make us? likes to portray his activities in poland in the 1980s with instituting martial law seems to be a patriotic activity that stopped the soviet union from invading poland like it had in prague in 1968 are hungary in 1956. so this whole

the liberation of the warsaw pact countries, i'm doing a book on the people on the other side. right like, for instance, picking george bush. he did not want to pick george bush but he made the most sense at the time. at the detroit convention, to produce a unified ticket. the republican party has been more or less divided since the 1940s. with liberals or moderates and conservatives. we had eisenhower the moderate. next in the conservative. or, lodge the moderate and nixon in the conservative. >> it continued that program, where they had to reach across, to pick up the unified convention which tends to win with a fall, and conventions tend to lose the vile. they tried to pick richard swinger, then a senator from pennsylvania, as his running mate in 1976 for the nomination over ford. there is a chapter on this. it tells you about the suppleness and sophistication t. there's an amendment in california called proposition 6, which the brinks of men and the proposition prohibited gays from teaching the public schools or advocating a gay lifestyle. now reagan needs the support of fa

intelligence dimension of us polish relations after 1989 poland was officially a member of the warsaw pact until mid 1991, but the facto it had already changed its ties it had already decided to align itself with the west with nato and with the united states early on after 1989. so this this book expands on that and looks at the travails and achievements after 1989 covering 30 years or so and because this entire dimension is important in polish politics especially in the 1990s but even after as well, it deals quite a bit with the ups and downs with the political polish political scene. all the intelligence that manipulated in some way. i won't say more about the book not accept to urge people who want to read a riveting story. it brief but extremely well written to you will find almost any interest in it even if you may not know much about poland. o speakers today. the first is john palm fred. who is the author of the book and was long while a rapport or an editor at the washington post one of the greatest newspapers in the world, and he is writer is this book in the earlier books on china

intelligence dimension of us polish relations after 1989 poland was officially a member of the warsaw pact until mid 1991, but the facto it had already changed its ties it had already decided to align itself with the west with nato and with the united states early on after 1989. so this book expands on that and looks at the travails and achievements of poland after 1989 covering almost 30 years or actually 30 years or so, and because the intelligence dimension is was important in polish politics, especially in the 1990s, but even afterward as well the book inevitably deals quite a bit with some of the ups and downs of polish political scene and again fascinating details about how the intelligence services got embroiled that way and god manipulated in some ways for the political ends of being politician. i won't say more about the book now except to urge people who want to really read a riveting story. the book is relatively brief, but extremely well written and so you will find almost anyone will find something of great interest in it. even those who may not know much about poland or about

union and believe that we were an evil empire merit gorbachev west writes that he dissolved the warsaw pactat he took the path of destruction and in general dreamed that the world would become nuclear-free. forgetting that these decisions of mikhail sergeevich allowed the rear to move nato to our borders and feed the neighbors. now independent states, neo-nazism and russophobia. much later, mikhail sergeevich himself understood that he had been deceived. in particular , did the americans point out their arrogance when they talk about some kind of victory in the cold war, did mikhail sergeevich read that this was not so? as the americans write, mikhail sergeevich naively believed that the promise given by one us president is obligatory for another and what is the word of american politicians? just as reliably as the word of an american businessman represented to us in old soviet films, it turned out, of course, nothing of the kind. nothing like this. i was especially surprised by the reaction of the baltic politicians. who managed to spit just spit. i feel like there's going to be a lot, yes

fdr did allow stalin to gobble up parts of eastern europe in the warsaw pact countries, and yalta. he also was interesting, i always wondered why they went along with it -- yalta was a falling down vacation home for the russian tsars. and when the communists came to power, they chose it as the site of this important meeting, to decide what to do with the world after the war. how do we divide the world? how do we handle the world? how do we manage the world? they had this area to really run, this country, that country, whatever. but yalta had bad food, it was cold, it was bad, it was falling down, the beading was bad, all of this. fdr has to travel 12,000 miles, churchill has to travel -- travel a few thousand miles. but it was just a few thousand -- it was just down the street from stalin. and he was the junior member. when you have the big three, why don't you have this in miami beach, you know? why they had it in yalta, no one has ever explained that to me. and it took a toll. that traveling took a toll on fdr, as well. >> how do you think president truman handled the end of the

yes, also the former participants in the warsaw pact, the church in this regard, their loyalty to theirwill never change and so i think, i hope that the country will support if our leadership decides serbia's indications for strong assistance. in this case, the need for delivery. some kind of weapons, well, i hope it won’t come to that, because kosovo is such a nuisance. in those or serbia that are periodically called there, problems appear, then, as it were, everything calms down. tell me, why do we need peacekeepers who have been there for 22 years. yes, they were introduced there with the aim that the situation would calm down, that both sides would like to live peacefully. no, they didn't start living peacefully. unfortunately, the kosovars are constantly heating up the situation. but now it seems that they have clearly received a command from washington to take action. but i hope that this temporary agreement will be suspended for a month. this is a crazy requirement for samovars according to the documents. i hope that some positive decision will be found this month, vladimir mikha

now we know that one of the most important elements of the cold war, of the warsaw pact, soviet unionthe berlin wall, was the inability of citizens of the eastern bloc to leave the country. you need an exit visa. so with this return to, in many ways, we're returning to the soviet union. look at the rhetoric. look at that... ..there are almost no relationship between east and west. no communications, almost no communications by air. visas have become extremely difficult to get. not only do you say visas have become more difficult to get, but we now know the russian government is pushing to shut down the activities of thejewish agency inside russia. the agency, of course, being the main vehicle for helping jews make the journey to a new life in israel. you have said that that represents the jewish community being held hostage in what is becoming a diplomatic war between russia and israel. the rhetoric you're using surely risks inflaming the situation? thejewish agency for israel is a hybrid organisation. it is not 100% governmental and not 100% nongovernmental. it is a hybrid organisati
