[00:01:00] they remember that they passed like a knife through butter, [00:01:03] easily, quickly, that is, they started the offensive in [00:01:07] March, and by autumn they had already reached [00:01:10] Rostov, they practically reached the Kuban, they, yes, they [00:01:14] thought that it was all easy, they were, they read [00:01:17] propaganda, Völkischer Beobachter and so on, [00:01:21] constantly proving that Russia, Soviet Russia, [00:01:24] now, is a colossus with feet of clay, that there, [00:01:28] indeed, the entire economy is... [00:01:48] to unity, they thought that now they would shake it, and then, again, [00:01:51] propaganda made itself known, and then everything would start with riots, [00:01:55] uprisings, no one loves this government, none of them, of [00:01:58] the Germans, was ready for this... [00:03:00] cargo at the front, the resilience of people in Donetsk, in Lugansk, [00:03:03] all this is not taken into account, in the inflamed imagination of German mass media and [00:03:07] the political class, already in 2022, Russia was supposed to capitulate, the economy [00:03:11] was supposed to collapse, all the managers [00:03:14] were supposed to flee, and the country was supposed to fall apart, this did not happen, [00:03:18] but the German national character is very straightforward [00:03:22] and inflexible, if it is written down in [00:03:25] guiding documents, whether it is Plan Barbarossa or [00:03:28] current federal documents. [00:03:38] The Urals, but who did they listen to, the generals who, [00:03:41] indeed, in 1918, after the conclusion of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, simply [00:03:44] took and occupied without a fight the territory of present-day Ukraine, parts [00:03:48] of the Baltics, Western Belarus, it was simply given to them, and Hitler and his [00:03:52] generals proceeded from the fact that Stalin would conclude peace on any [00:03:55] German terms, that Germany would seize [00:03:58] Ukraine, part of it. [00:04:30] but there was another, a different Soviet people somehow, that appeared, [00:04:33] anti-Soviet, who had only been Soviet people for 2 years, hadn't even managed to become one yet, [00:04:37] accordingly, there were miscalculations everywhere, the width of the railway track, when [00:04:41] Operation Typhoon started in October 1941, the German leadership [00:04:44] faced a dilemma: what to transport to the front first, [00:04:48] ammunition or warm clothes, which were in [00:04:52] Poland, in Warsaw, in other cities, there were overflowing warehouses, well, simply the throughput [00:04:56] capacity, if you traveled by train, let's say, from Moscow to Berlin and [00:04:59] back. you spend almost an hour replacing wheelsets, [00:05:02] accordingly, they drive it into the depot, replace the wheelsets, only then it goes [00:05:06] further, the same situation remains now, we also still have the track [00:05:10] width difference, and now imagine you have 10 thousand. [00:05:15] And you need to transport them, [00:05:18] figuratively speaking, from Warsaw to near Smolensk, naturally, that's why they actually [00:05:20] froze, the choice was made in favor of ammunition, not warm [00:05:24] clothes, and with all the ensuing consequences, this one factor was already [00:05:27] fatal, that the choice was made in favor of delivering Jews [00:05:31] to concentration camps, they diverted trains for delivery at that moment, [00:05:34] incidentally, it was completely amazing [00:05:36] that [00:05:39] in the General Government, it did not obey the Wehrmacht, they started. right away [00:05:43] sending them to concentration camps, so the idea arose that what to send there? And [00:05:46] he says: no, these trains are reserved, [00:05:50] nothing, we are doing business, by the way, you know, [00:05:54] that there is another nuance, I don't really, well, that [00:05:57] is, I don't know, since Europe is powerful in the economic [00:06:00] sense as before, we are recording, so to speak, that they, so [00:06:04] to speak, are fading and fading and so on, but nevertheless, nevertheless, [00:06:08] this is a serious economic power, the other [00:06:11] thing is that this power. in many ways, well, it was like that, it was very deeply [00:06:15] connected with Russia, precisely in terms of its [00:06:18] strength, yes, well, with China and so on, but nevertheless, it is [00:06:22] clear that they are breaking off there, diversifying or whatever it's called and so [00:06:26] on and so on and so on, but nevertheless, nevertheless, look, [00:06:29] here's a very characteristic news that [00:06:33] Bloomberg gives us, it turns out, but listen [00:06:36] for yourselves, [00:06:39] in July, Belgium was fully dependent on Russia for liquefied [00:06:42] natural gas imports, as the war in the Middle East led to a sharp [00:06:46] reduction in supplies to Europe. EU members were already supposed [00:06:49] to reduce LNG purchases from Russia, as the ban on [00:06:52] short-term deals has been in effect since April, and a full ban [00:06:56] will come into force next year. However, purchase volumes increased [00:06:59] as buyers sought alternatives to Middle [00:07:03] Eastern supplies. As a result, France, Belgium and purchases. How does this [00:07:06] Spain became the leaders in tally with the intention, [00:07:10] so to speak, to wage war with us, not to repeat mistakes. [00:07:16] The last train with ore left Brest a [00:07:19] couple of hours before the start of the Great Patriotic [00:07:22] War, it fits quite well, yes, well, what [00:07:26] can I say, I don't know, is it serious or is it such [00:07:30] a bluff, because what Felix described, for example, [00:07:34] well, all this, all this looks not like an intention [00:07:37] to fight, but an intention to, so to speak, somehow, well, I don't know, [00:07:40] to regroup. So to speak, to gather, I [00:07:44] don't know, society and so on, in some way, well, so [00:07:47] to speak, well, to prevent [00:07:49] some kind of, I don't know, disintegration into small [00:07:53] parts and so on, how do you need some kind of common idea, and in general, of course, ideally, you [00:07:57] know, there is this carrot in front of a donkey, it walks, and the carrot is in front [00:08:00] of it and so on, no, I don't need to, I won't go far, [00:08:04] what I mean is that this carrot in the form of a coming, [00:08:07] terrible, inevitable war with Russia, it certainly brings [00:08:10] together, makes one, so to speak, a little bit [00:08:12] take oneself in hand, perhaps, perhaps that's [00:08:16] the calculation, not that I'm comforting myself and driving these thoughts away from me, [00:08:19] no, one must probably proceed from the worst, indeed, but still something tells me that there is [00:08:23] much more bluff and political game in this than [00:08:26] real intention, well, anyway, if, if there are intentions, then [00:08:30] we will not change the track, in all senses, a short commercial, [00:08:33] we'll be back. [00:08:43] Moscow is among the top five smartest cities on [00:08:46] the planet, this atmosphere of the future, which is [00:08:50] already here. Moscow learns not to take time, [00:08:53] but to give it. Moscow today is ahead [00:08:56] of the whole world. We can manufacture a module in [00:09:00] 2 hours. This is great. Renovation, which [00:09:04] sounds like renovation of the housing stock, in fact, is [00:09:06] renovation of the city as a whole. Residential areas [00:09:10] are no longer sleeping, they are living fully. there are all [00:09:13] opportunities to do something and not stay at home, [00:09:17] not play on phones, [00:09:21] and Moscow is beautiful because it is alive, [00:09:24] this is probably the most difficult challenge in the history of the capital, to return [00:09:28] the city to a human, to recreate a space in which [00:09:32] every person will feel at home. [00:09:35] Premiere, Moscow - the house in which we [00:09:38] live. Sunday on the first channel.

[00:14:01] Boris Johnson and his role, we move to [00:14:05] the 1940s, what we talked about before, [00:14:08] about who pushed whom to what. [00:14:12] and there is an opinion, there is an opinion, [00:14:15] well, at least there is a lot of talk among [00:14:19] historians, that a signal or [00:14:22] a hint or a recommendation. [00:14:55] so he flew there, then he was declared, Hitler I think [00:14:58] declared him insane, yes, he declared him simply insane, he said it was his [00:15:01] initiative, yes, it was him, he is insane, well, [00:15:04] insane or not, he still flew to Britain, talked about something there, apparently they [00:15:08] failed to agree, [00:15:11] they say that he allegedly offered Britain and Germany to delineate spheres [00:15:14] of influence, saying that Germany gets full freedom of action in [00:15:18] continental Europe, Britain retains its empire, [00:15:21] independence, status as a world power and so on. [00:15:27] And what's interesting, what's interesting, [00:15:30] London still keeps the details of this visit [00:15:33] classified, this is such a mysterious story, now in a few [00:15:37] seconds. I will let you listen and watch a fragment from [00:15:40] Winston Churchill's memoirs, he describes in detail, [00:15:43] well, not exactly this story, but his impressions of [00:15:46] it, and then we will talk about whether it makes sense and [00:15:50] is it correct to draw such analogies between those Britons [00:15:54] and their role in that war, in that war, modern [00:15:58] Britons and their role in this war, yes, and so [00:16:01] Churchill writes, we read: [00:16:05] Rudolf Hess was a handsome young man. He dined at the same [00:16:09] table as Hitler and was able to understand his inner world, his [00:16:12] hatred of the Soviet Union, his passionate desire to destroy [00:16:16] Bolshevism, his admiration for England and his sincere desire for friendship with [00:16:20] the British Empire. Hess's view of the European situation was [00:16:23] that the warmongers, whose sentiments were expressed by [00:16:27] Churchill, had alienated England from its true interests [00:16:30] in a policy of friendship with Germany, and above all from an alliance against [00:16:34] Bolshevism. The Soviet government was deeply interested... [00:16:39] Three years later, when I was in Moscow, during my second visit, I realized [00:16:43] how much this topic interested Stalin. At dinner, he asked [00:16:46] me what the truth was about Hess's mission. I briefly [00:16:50] stated what I wrote here. I got the impression [00:16:53] that Stalin believed there were some secret negotiations or a conspiracy between Germany and [00:16:57] Great Britain with the aim of a joint invasion of [00:17:00] Russia. When the interpreter made it clear that he did not believe my words, I [00:17:04] replied: "When I state facts known to me, I expect them [00:17:08] to be accepted." Stalin took this somewhat sharp answer with [00:17:11] a good-natured smile. Even here, in Russia, many things [00:17:15] happen that our secret services do not necessarily tell [00:17:18] me. With this, I stopped. Whatever moral [00:17:21] guilt the German, who was close to Hitler, Hess, [00:17:25] in my opinion, atoned for it with his exceptionally selfless and [00:17:28] desperate act, inspired by delusional [00:17:31] good intentions. He came to us of his own free will, and [00:17:35] although no one authorized him to do so, he represented something [00:17:38] like an envoy, this was a psychopathological, not [00:17:41] a criminal case, and that's how it should be viewed, [00:17:45] it's funny, of course, and interesting, [00:17:49] where, well, Churchill will say what he told Stalin, I told [00:17:52] him, he said, asked me at dinner what the truth about [00:17:56] the mission was, I briefly explained, so to speak, well, the whole [00:17:59] truth, as you know, the British never lie, come on, and he was like [00:18:03] offended, he didn't even , well, [00:18:05] amazing, sweet, of course, already [00:18:16] historically, already symbolically, Britain generally [00:18:19] stands behind us, not at all shy, this time [00:18:22] look, information has appeared that naval drones that attack [00:18:26] the Black Sea Fleet are produced in [00:18:28] Great Britain, moreover, we actually knew this, but this [00:18:32] kind of, how do you say, a sincere confession on the pages of one of the main [00:18:35] newspapers, I don't remember anything like that, [00:18:39] you see, our, our people are striking, say the British [00:18:42] with pride, well, this is my [00:18:46] question, how correct [00:18:49] it is to draw such analogies, you know, not very correct, not [00:18:52] very, why, the whole point is that if we take [00:18:56] 1940, that is, 1940-1941, then Churchill was already in [00:18:59] power in England and England took the position [00:19:03] that it was against both Nazi Germany and against [00:19:06] the Soviet Union. That is, as it was said later, if Nazi Germany [00:19:10] loses, we must help Nazi [00:19:12] Germany, [00:19:14] this was said by an American, [00:19:17] well, if we take [00:19:21] England during the Munich Agreement, [00:19:25] that's right, well, that is, accordingly, not Churchill, there, it was Chamberlain's [00:19:29] group and others that lost, and [00:19:32] Churchill's group came, which actually advocated that Hitler needed to be [00:19:35] reined in, now the situation is not [00:19:38] like that, so to speak, here, so to speak, figuratively speaking, [00:19:42] the lessons of 1938 were [00:19:45] understood, aha, England, it did not [00:19:49] change its policy at the necessary moment, so [00:19:52] that's why if we compare it to 1940, it's not entirely correct, especially since [00:19:56] Churchill declared war on [00:19:58] Germany, they declared it back in 1939, on September 3, [00:20:02] and accordingly he immediately supported [00:20:06] us that same day. [00:20:50] Yes, by the way, it's interesting, thank you, just pay [00:20:54] attention, by the way, for Britain, [00:20:57] the First World War, it's certainly, for us, it's clear that the Second World War is [00:21:01] the main war, the most terrible, the most monstrous, for Britain, no, the First, these [00:21:05] poppies they wear, so to speak, well, it's in honor not just of the First World War, but [00:21:08] of all, so to speak, fallen, all heroes and so on, but it is dedicated, so to [00:21:12] speak, it started precisely with the First World War, regarding the First [00:21:16] World War, for them it is the most terrible, the most terrible. [00:24:28] Hess was a man who devoutly believed in Hitler, and Hitler, in table conversations, told Hess that [00:24:31] the English and the Germans are brothers, they cannot [00:24:35] fight, they must move [00:24:38] forward together, and Hess so believed Hitler that he [00:24:42] said, I will go there now, they don't understand the Fuhrer's words, [00:24:46] I just need to explain it to them, I just need to explain it accurately. [00:25:22] In any case, for the British, the French campaign, one can [00:25:26] say, ended with a slight scare. Yes, there were wolf packs [00:25:29] that dominated the Atlantic in 1941, and [00:25:32] accordingly there was the Battle of Britain in the air, but in any [00:25:36] case, the Fuhrer truly perceived England as [00:25:39] a natural, close ally, almost like [00:25:43] us, and accordingly, Hess was friends with [00:25:47] Lord Hamilton, whom he very much expected to meet then, as... he flew in, and [00:25:50] accordingly, instead of that, the British, one can say, did not meet his [00:25:53] expectations, moreover, there is a version that he was even strangled in Spandau prison [00:25:57] in 1987 by order of the British, there are [00:26:00] memoirs. from Tunisia, he even wrote a whole book [00:26:04] called "I Looked into the Eyes of His Killers." A murky [00:26:07] story, indeed there are still many undisclosed documents, but in [00:26:11] any case, it was a signal from Nazi Germany to Great Britain, [00:26:15] that we are friends, we don't want to fight you, let's conclude a separate [00:26:18] peace and throw all our forces to the east. [00:26:22] Felix, it's interesting, now, well, it's clear what it is, it's clear that, [00:26:26] so to speak, this attitude somewhat clouded the war, this [00:26:29] internal, organic feeling of the Germans towards the British. [00:27:02] Yes, that is, if in percentage [00:27:04] terms, [00:27:07] yes, I think that this is one of the reasons, because they so sharply, well, yes, [00:27:11] Saxons, they always sharply [00:27:15] want, no, I meant that, I understand, so to speak, this [00:27:18] genesis, I'm interested in how much it has survived at the everyday [00:27:21] level, yes, of course, it has survived, I think that [00:27:24] deep down, of course, everything on the continent [00:27:28] is uncultured, these are people [00:27:31] who can be slightly... directed, yes, that is, the British [00:27:35] were always very much to themselves and [00:27:38] felt themselves separate, I think [00:27:41] that for this reason they correctly left [00:27:44] Europe, because they precisely in this madness did not want [00:27:48] to participate as participants, but as [00:27:50] directors, to direct madness, to participate in [00:27:54] their own madness, understood, understood, well, [00:27:57] returning, it's clear that it's not just, well, not just such [00:28:00] conversations, you know, for, so to speak, [00:28:02] interesting, speculative ones, no, this is all history, this is, [00:28:06] this is terribly important, in fact, it repeats itself, and the general [00:28:10] principles and general features, well, I didn't just ask [00:28:13] about this everyday notion, and [00:28:17] it's clear, that it's clear that in [00:28:20] fact, some participants in those [00:28:24] processes of the 1940s are trying to erase the memory of the end, of [00:28:28] how it all ended, who won, well, some... This is what we are actually [00:28:32] doing, on the contrary, trying to [00:28:35] preserve this memory at all costs and doing everything [00:28:38] for it. Well, by the way, it's interesting, these days, from [00:28:42] August 3 to 6, in 1940, the process of joining the Baltic states to [00:28:45] the Soviet Union took place. This, of course, [00:28:49] we talked about a few minutes ago, remember, this did not prevent them from subsequently [00:28:53] supporting the Nazis, meeting them with bread and salt, as expected, my God, the liberators [00:28:56] arrived, and so on, well, it's a fact, what can I say, [00:28:59] this was then, now... nothing [00:29:03] has changed, because now demonstrably, with [00:29:06] honors, in Latvia, a 102-year-old Nazi [00:29:10] criminal, Laimons Ezergais, was buried, from [00:29:13] the age of 19, he served in the Latvian SS Legion, [00:29:17] faithfully, members of the legion, as you [00:29:20] know, burned villages with civilians, brutally killed [00:29:23] prisoners, had fun as they could and as they wanted, with honors, the 102-year-old [00:29:26] hero, Latvian hero, [00:29:30] this, of course, is our oversight. Because, well, after so many years, although [00:29:33] maybe, I don't know, maybe it was impossible [00:29:37] to completely eradicate ideas, ideas are generally difficult to eradicate [00:29:40] unlike people, so after so many [00:29:44] years, the ideas of Nazism in Europe are becoming popular [00:29:47] again, this forces us to fight them [00:29:50] again, we are doing it in all possible ways, by the way, recently this [00:29:53] story, it's so fair and good news, [00:29:57] and at the same time strange for me. So, recently, the Tverskoy District Court of [00:30:01] Moscow officially recognized. [00:30:32] but nevertheless, they are war criminals, well, well, no, [00:30:36] it's clear, they were war criminals, you just need to understand that now [00:30:39] Ukraine has actualized this topic, the heroization of these very [00:30:43] Banderites, Bandera, Shukhevych, Zelensky [00:30:46] actualized it by creating his own pantheon, it became [00:30:49] accordingly a topic, including international disputes, it's quite [00:30:52] logical that we, here, the relevant [00:30:55] authorities applied to the court with [00:30:59] the goal of dotting the i's here as well.
