[00:01:39] Keep 100 som, no need for a dacha,
[00:01:51] the earned money is barely enough for food, Eldar has no
[00:01:55] cart of his own, so he rents it from the market administration, for a day
[00:01:59] he pays... Half a dollar.
[00:02:30] warehouse: garage for
[00:02:31] carts,
[00:02:36] what happened, what kind of filming, shoot me, here's the money, no need to pay,
[00:03:30] Aina gul overworked at her previous job got a hernia, now she sits
[00:03:34] at home, the only payments for children she stopped receiving from
[00:03:37] the state after she moved out from her husband. We
[00:03:41] lived in Alay, after my husband and I divorced, I moved out with the children
[00:03:44] from there, in search of some work we came to
[00:03:47] Karasu. First we rented an apartment near the market, last
[00:03:51] year we moved here. As soon as we moved from Alay, they
[00:03:54] stopped giving us benefits, it turns out we were removed from
[00:03:57] the register.
[00:05:00] if they live better, it's not by much. This area, although
[00:05:03] located next to the second capital Osh, is not considered
[00:05:06] very prosperous. Around are small, gray and
[00:05:09] depressing houses. Against their background in...
[00:05:23] This person's name in Kyrgyzstan is on everyone's lips, Raim
[00:05:27] Matraimov, known as Raim Million, was called
[00:05:30] the most influential smuggler. Recently he was
[00:05:34] found guilty of corruption schemes at customs, and he bought his way out of
[00:05:38] prison with 25 million
[00:05:39] dollars.
[00:05:52] Raim Matraimov is not the only one who got rich at the Karasu market.
[00:05:55] There are many legends here about the first local millionaires who bought up
[00:05:59] trading containers and rented them out.
[00:06:01] in
[00:06:06] addition, dozens of thousands of sellers, loaders, cafe workers
[00:06:09] and hawkers are fed by the market.
[00:06:42] such lemonade, I caught a little bit of it in Soviet
[00:06:46] times, well something like that,
[00:06:49] yes,
[00:06:54] buratina, buratina,
[00:06:55] yes,
[00:07:03] why do people like everything Soviet here, we
[00:07:06] mainly have elderly people buying, who saw those times,
[00:07:10] they like this taste.
[00:07:45] Karasuu market today is a city within a city, although once everything here
[00:07:49] started spontaneously, they traded on tables or directly from the trunks
[00:07:53] of their cars. The market occupies a special place in
[00:07:56] the re-export of Chinese goods to neighboring Uzbekistan, but with the beginning
[00:07:59] of the pandemic, trade significantly
[00:08:01] decreased.
[00:08:06] Trade decreased, due to closed borders, goods began
[00:08:09] to arrive late, plus prices jumped.
[00:08:57] the market is conditionally divided into Chinese, Turkish and Muslim
[00:09:01] rows, the latter are gaining great popularity, more and more
[00:09:04] covered women
[00:09:07] can be found on the streets.
[00:10:25] we started working together, since then many years have passed, the cart still
[00:10:29] serves me, when needed I change the wheels, lubricate
[00:10:32] the bearings,
[00:10:39] during my time at the market I built two houses, for myself and my son, married
[00:10:42] off two daughters, married my son, in a week together with
[00:10:45] my son we earn up to 100 dollars, that's enough for us to
[00:10:49] live, we even save something, and that's taking into account that I don't receive
[00:10:53] a pension.
[00:12:25] People here have worked for so long that almost everyone knows each other, but
[00:12:29] among thousands of pushers there is their own competition, you need to be the first to
[00:12:33] find and please the client, orders must be executed
[00:12:36] quickly to return to your place and wait for a new
[00:12:39] client.
[00:12:49] The roads here are very busy and in bad condition, any pothole
[00:12:53] or obstacle and you can.
[00:13:25] this is zataylavadı too. basically
[00:13:48] it's a product.
[00:13:55] Of course, but there are people I forgive, there are different kinds, sometimes I paid.
[00:14:12] We have road problems, potholes everywhere,
[00:14:14] ямы,
[00:14:19] it's hard for us to work, because of these potholes we drop goods, break them, then
[00:14:22] we pay our entire salary, we are here.
[00:14:57] whose goods does Eldar carry, it doesn't matter, over the weekend he needs to
[00:15:00] earn as much money as possible to feed his
[00:15:03] family.
[00:15:12] The peak of work begins in the heat, when the main buyers pick up
[00:15:15] goods and go
[00:15:17] home.
[00:15:27] In such a frantic rhythm, everyone earns as best they can, for
[00:15:31] more than a quarter of a century the market has not stopped working for a single day,
[00:15:34] giving people the opportunity to feed themselves.
[00:16:12] here the grass was all sand covered
[00:16:15] it, last year there was water, not much, but
[00:16:19] there was, for this year, as of today we
[00:16:22] see the picture, besides salt we have nothing, the earth
[00:16:26] recovers, the grass recovers, you just need to
[00:16:29] give the earth a chance to rest, for the earth to
[00:16:32] recover.
[00:18:08] I am Andrey Ziders, born in
[00:18:10] 1937 in Latvia
[00:18:14] to farmers,
[00:18:17] no one thought it would be like it
[00:18:20] turned out,
[00:18:24] that one fine day in the morning a car
[00:18:28] drives into the yard
[00:18:31] and they said:
[00:18:33] get ready.
[00:18:37] mother, father three children,
[00:18:41] families were separated, fathers separately, since
[00:18:44] then they never saw their father again, only in
[00:18:47] pictures,
[00:18:56] the first thing was that
[00:18:59] whatever was taken with them, that was exchanged, in fact, everything
[00:19:03] for food, for food, but because there was nothing
[00:19:06] at all. that year, when they brought it, in
[00:19:09] July month,
[00:19:13] you can't plant anything anymore, you can't sow anything, nothing, so
[00:19:17] we were left with nothing, what
[00:19:20] did we eat, oh my god, everything,
[00:19:23] especially in spring, as soon as the grass turned
[00:19:26] green, and the first
[00:19:28] orach,
[00:19:30] nettle,
[00:19:33] what else, maybe only nettle,
[00:20:08] meet, talk,
[00:20:11] be with
[00:20:13] everyone, no one pressures you, no one
[00:20:17] suppresses you, you are a free
[00:20:19] person,
[00:20:23] therefore, we gather in such companies,
[00:20:27] because maybe someone
[00:20:30] is going for the last time, next time he won't
[00:20:34] be there.
[00:20:45] destroyed, why, yes, why,
[00:20:48] especially, how much I...
[00:22:20] Sofia and I have
[00:22:23] books
[00:22:25] called my book
[00:22:28] of remembrance, this is all
[00:22:31] very, it was not easy for me to talk about
[00:22:34] it, the worst thing is that it was
[00:22:38] suicide,
[00:22:42] we were all
[00:22:43] mother's.
[00:22:58] Iran, if historically they were primarily interested in missile and nuclear
[00:23:02] technologies, then, judging by recent years, they are interested in things
[00:23:05] related to the realities of modern warfare, for example, satellite navigation, the same
[00:23:09] GPS spoofing, artificial intelligence, and so on. That is, yes, we know well
[00:23:13] that Iran provided Russia with the design
[00:23:16] of Shaheds, which Russia then supplemented, there were Shaheds.
[00:23:50] or on reverse engineering, that is, some North Korean missile is taken, which in turn
[00:23:53] is a copy of a Soviet missile, then either technical documentation is bought or
[00:23:57] obtained by other means, and then either reverse engineering is performed
[00:24:01] to create their own missiles, but in order to then
[00:24:03] support this industry, to create new variants, there must also be a corresponding
[00:24:07] scientific school. Why is Russia now capable of creating new weapons
[00:24:11] even under sanctions? Because Russia has not
[00:24:15] just production, but also scientific schools, there are specialists who have been doing this for
[00:24:18] generations, this is actually a lot, that is, it is expensive,
[00:24:22] few people have it. Iran certainly strives to have such scientific schools,
[00:24:25] they cannot buy everything forever. Recently, as the
[00:24:29] Financial Times investigated, they received from Russia
[00:24:31] a method
[00:24:34] for creating an engine for supersonic
[00:24:38] missiles, but it's not enough to just get the blueprints and set up production,
[00:24:42] you need specialists to support all this. And in order to
[00:24:45] understand how this works in the context of Iran and Russia, we started looking for
[00:24:49] what students or graduate students or researchers come to
[00:24:52] Russian universities that are connected with the defense industry, for example, MAI
[00:24:56] or Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and what they do there, this can be
[00:25:00] determined by scientific papers, because usually when a student or graduate student comes, especially
[00:25:03] a graduate student, he publishes joint scientific papers with his supervisor, with
[00:25:07] other graduate students, with other researchers from the laboratory, then returns to Iran and
[00:25:11] continues to publish, perhaps with Iranian researchers and so on. We were
[00:25:15] interested in cases when the topics
[00:25:17] clearly concerned some military things. and especially when people who returned to
[00:25:21] Iran worked in universities that are directly connected, say, with
[00:25:25] the Iranian Ministry of Defense or with the IRGC, there are such, they are well
[00:25:28] known. And we actually found, just from open
[00:25:32] publications, several, I would call them clusters, several
[00:25:35] clusters related to certain scientific topics,
[00:25:39] which most likely have, well, that is, which can certainly be described as dual-use
[00:25:42] technologies. The fact is that Iran does not produce civilian
[00:25:46] aviation gas turbine engines at all, but it does produce quite a lot of
[00:25:51] gas turbine engines for cruise missiles and another engine they produce for their own
[00:25:54] fighters, that is, they do not have a civilian industry in this area, so any
[00:25:58] research related to GTG, as they call it in short, is certainly
[00:26:02] military, and we found a whole group of Iranian students, graduate students,
[00:26:06] who regularly in recent years studied or were associated with
[00:26:09] one of the departments of MAI and several other Russian
[00:26:13] researchers, this is one of the examples, other examples are
[00:26:16] nuclear area, for example, which certainly interests everyone, in fact no one
[00:26:20] has proof that Russia in any way helps Iran create nuclear
[00:26:23] weapons, in open publications this could not be found for sure, but
[00:26:27] there are so-called gas centrifuges, which are used for
[00:26:31] uranium enrichment. It is known that the IAEA was very concerned that
[00:26:34] Iran was able to enrich uranium to 60%. This is not yet
[00:26:37] weapons-grade level, but it is a level that is too high to
[00:26:41] be used as fuel for a nuclear power plant, so this
[00:26:44] caused great suspicion, and as you know,
[00:26:48] both Israel and the United States during the current war made great
[00:26:52] efforts to destroy these centrifuges in Iran. They were
[00:26:56] part of the nuclear deal 10 years ago. So we
[00:27:00] found that Iranian researchers indeed... are quite actively
[00:27:03] cooperating with several Russian institutes, universities precisely
[00:27:07] in the field of gas centrifuges, again this may be purely
[00:27:10] civilian work from the point of view of Russian researchers,
[00:27:13] it is certainly civilian work, but it obviously has a dual
[00:27:16] purpose, for many years Iranian
[00:27:19] researchers traveled to Samara, then it was called
[00:27:23] the Samara Aerospace University named after Korolev, where
[00:27:26] a strong, strangely enough, Danish researcher Kaibora worked, he died in
[00:27:30] 2017, he was an invited
[00:27:32] professor, we didn't study Iranians, then they returned to Iran, and then wrote a large
[00:27:36] number of papers on GPS spoofing, this is when
[00:27:38] the GPS signal is replaced in order to confuse
[00:27:42] enemy drones or planes or ships,
[00:27:46] which most likely had an applied meaning, because some of these works
[00:27:50] were in military journals or were also related to military-affiliated
[00:27:53] universities. It is known that Iran has quite strong expertise in this
[00:27:57] area,
[00:27:59] and well, world-class expertise that is recognized by the expert
[00:28:03] community, they very actively apply GPS
[00:28:05] spoofing during the current war and applied it before
[00:28:08] that. At Bauman Moscow State Technical University there is very good
[00:28:11] expertise in creating artificial intelligence systems for
[00:28:15] various drones, not only flying ones but
[00:28:19] also floating and ground-based ones, they at least consult Russian military personnel in
[00:28:22] this area, but Bauman Moscow State Technical University simply has basic departments, many people work there
[00:28:26] who simultaneously work in the Russian defense industry, and we also
[00:28:29] found that in one of the departments that
[00:28:33] deals with artificial intelligence, there is a fairly large number of
[00:28:36] Iranian students, and some of them, one of them even
[00:28:40] gave an interview to the Iranian Sputnik, where he said that I came to study,
[00:28:44] because relations between Iran and Russia are good,
[00:28:47] I would not go to the West, well, and the fact that sanctions against us, that is, against Iran, have been imposed -
[00:28:51] this is unfair, we cannot prove that his work is connected with military matters, but it is clear that
[00:28:55] the exchange itself, the very basis of such scientific exchange in this area,
[00:28:59] it will train personnel who will then help the Iranian
[00:29:03] industry develop in this direction.
[00:29:06] направлении.
