[00:00:00] these are the enterprises that are registered in the Department of
[00:00:03] Agricultural Registers, that is, this sphere of agriculture
[00:00:07] that primarily uses diesel,
[00:00:09] it's already like oh no, for
[00:00:12] them, well, fuel constitutes
[00:00:15] a rather serious,
[00:00:18] plays a rather serious role in the final cost of the product, but
[00:00:21] still, not a fundamental one,
[00:00:25] that is, even it won't double in price,
[00:00:29] but it's true, isn't it?
[00:00:42] Here we need to calculate
[00:00:45] what share this fuel constitutes
[00:00:48] in which product, in which final price, and
[00:00:52] how it will affect it. In general, these are rather serious mathematical calculations,
[00:00:56] without a calculator it's quite difficult to do them, and
[00:00:59] for the listener it will be even
[00:01:02] more difficult to perceive them. So, in principle, one can say that all these
[00:01:05] talks, returning, in fact, Andrey Titov, to
[00:01:09] your clarification or your
[00:01:11] explanation, that all these talks about us being so
[00:01:15] bad, we don't lower excise taxes, as
[00:01:18] 94 countries do, this is for
[00:01:21] the fainthearted.
[00:01:24] I don't know, for the fainthearted or not, that's not
[00:01:27] the definition I chose.
[00:02:38] I'll reveal a secret, in the morning, we have the opportunity, if you don't use personal
[00:02:41] transport, there's an opportunity to get to work by taxi at the expense of
[00:02:45] the employer, because it's very early morning.
[00:03:02] Today we already noted such a point,
[00:03:06] that yes, there was a change of defense ministers.
[00:03:09] Against
[00:03:12] this background, the
[00:03:15] news is as follows: the share of Estonian residents who trust
[00:03:19] the defense forces decreased by 3 months
[00:03:22] from 71% to 66%.
[00:03:26] This is not 6% anymore, as with Russian-speaking voters.
[00:03:31] This is evidenced by the fresh results of a public opinion poll
[00:03:35] conducted by the sociological service Emor commissioned
[00:03:37] by the State Chancellery. And here's one very important
[00:03:41] point: trusting the defense forces. The defense forces
[00:03:45] are not the Ministry of Defense, with which the
[00:03:48] well-known scandal was naturally associated. But
[00:03:51] still, what, in your opinion, caused
[00:03:54] this drop in the level
[00:03:58] of trust in the defense forces? Well, the scandal did affect it,
[00:04:01] firstly, and secondly, to draw a clear line between the defense forces
[00:04:05] and the Ministry of Defense, do you want all our
[00:04:09] listeners to figure this out?
[00:04:12] No one is particularly keen to figure it out,
[00:04:16] how it's all interconnected, how one flows into another,
[00:04:20] and who depends on whom, who is whose boss.
[00:04:23] I absolutely agree, I don't want to offend
[00:04:26] our average listener in any way, because this is absolutely normal.
[00:04:30] situation, an ordinary person does not
[00:04:32] distinguish, does not draw this line, what the
[00:04:36] Ministry of Defense does, what the
[00:04:38] State Center for Defense Resources does, how
[00:04:42] it differs from the department,
[00:04:46] what it's called, also defense resources,
[00:04:50] what Kaitseliit does, and what its difference is from the
[00:04:53] defense forces. So here people are clearly mixed up, the
[00:04:57] main thing is why, why any
[00:05:01] listener needs to understand this at all,
[00:05:03] there is absolutely no need, that is, not all our listeners
[00:05:07] are specialists in this military matter. I myself
[00:05:11] have repeatedly participated in various
[00:05:14] sociological surveys, sometimes the questions
[00:05:17] put me in a deadlock, when they start
[00:05:20] delving into such nuances, well, for example, there,
[00:05:23] let's say, the defense sphere may be closer to me from a journalistic point
[00:05:27] of view, the social sphere, it is a little
[00:05:31] further away from the circle of my interests, when
[00:05:35] I come across questions in sociological firm questionnaires,
[00:05:38] like do you know what exactly the department does.
[00:06:13] Here there is, here there is, if anything, a psychological aspect, that
[00:06:16] now the trust in the defense forces has fallen to
[00:06:19] a level below which it hasn't been for
[00:06:22] over 20 years, this is the psychological aspect that
[00:06:26] puts this news in the top, but by and large,
[00:06:29] one needs to again follow the dynamics, see what
[00:06:33] will happen in a month, in two, it's too early to sound the alarm,
[00:06:36] cry "help," from the point of view that we live in
[00:06:40] a sufficiently...
[00:07:12] the defense forces wiped the nose
[00:07:15] of most, and what
[00:07:17] explains the fears of our arms manufacturers
[00:07:21] who believe that the system
[00:07:25] of allocating funds for support,
[00:07:28] military support to Ukraine, is
[00:07:30] opaque. This is a complex question, you know,
[00:07:34] while preparing for the broadcast, I thought a lot about it
[00:07:37] and came to the conclusion
[00:07:40] that we have a certain paradox. That is, on the one hand, we want,
[00:07:44] and this is right, that
[00:07:46] all our state purchases, state orders should be transparent,
[00:07:50] understandable, and so on and so forth, so that money doesn't disappear
[00:07:53] anywhere, doesn't settle anywhere, this is all understandable and reasonable, but
[00:07:57] on the other hand, we also want to maintain
[00:08:01] security, we also want to maintain a certain
[00:08:04] secrecy, it seems to me that these two
[00:08:07] components come into conflict with each other, that is, on
[00:08:11] the one hand, we have transparency, on the other hand, secrecy, so I
[00:08:15] wonder what transparent secrecy or secret transparency is, and maybe
[00:08:18] there's also a third component, which is, let's not forget, that
[00:08:21] arms manufacturers are commercial and there
[00:08:25] is a certain, but there
[00:08:28] is a certain competition, and there's also a fourth component,
[00:08:31] shouldn't we put pressure on the weakened
[00:08:34] Ministry of Defense at this moment in a direction favorable to commercial
[00:08:38] companies? That is also quite possible.
[00:08:41] Absolutely agree with my colleague, there's nothing
[00:08:45] to add, he's laid
[00:08:55] and peace, but is it peace, I don't know.
[00:08:58] The Executive Committee of the Estonian Olympic Committee approved a single set
[00:09:02] of recommendations for athletes, coaches, judges, sports
[00:09:05] federations and national delegations in case
[00:09:08] of participation in international competitions with Russians and Belarusians.
[00:09:11] The IOC states in its declaration that it
[00:09:15] condemns Russian aggression against Ukraine and considers the full
[00:09:18] return of Russia and Belarus to international sports unacceptable as
[00:09:22] long as the war continues. At the same time, Estonian athletes are recommended
[00:09:25] to continue participating in international competitions, even if representatives of Russia
[00:09:29] and Belarus compete in them. But here again there are two
[00:09:33] points, that is, firstly, it is still recommended to continue
[00:09:36] participating, that is, now, as it were, there is no such, well, let's
[00:09:39] say, let's call it such a trigger word...
[00:09:42] a quota for joint participation, it seems, but at the same
[00:09:46] time there are recommendations,
[00:09:49] is this
[00:09:52] normal practice or what? This is absolutely
[00:09:56] normal practice, because an athlete
[00:09:58] must know how to behave in
[00:10:02] one situation or another, athletes are people
[00:10:05] who follow the instructions of coaches, and often in
[00:10:09] some things that go beyond
[00:10:12] the treadmill, stadium, and so on, certain help is required,
[00:10:16] certain consultations, in the case of such recommendations, athletes will
[00:10:19] know how to behave in one situation or another, well, because
[00:10:23] anything can happen,
[00:10:26] any situation can arise during
[00:10:29] competitions, so now an athlete will know that, okay, if on
[00:10:33] the podium a Russian comes up to me with a Russian flag and wants
[00:10:37] to take a picture, I will not take a picture with him, and without these
[00:10:40] recommendations he could have said that I didn't know, I didn't know, he's
[00:10:43] actually my friend, we've been communicating for the last
[00:10:47] 20 years, Vadim, sorry, nothing personal, yes, well, now there
[00:10:50] is, yes, now there is
[00:10:53] this kind of, I don't know, screen, curtain, with which you can
[00:10:56] shield yourself, this is absolutely normal, this is absolutely
[00:11:00] justified, just as it is absolutely justified that our
[00:11:03] athletes participate in these competitions, because otherwise,
[00:11:07] who would be punished then? That is, if the international
[00:11:09] federation, contrary to the opinion of the Estonian
[00:11:13] sports federations, allows Russians and Belarusians with their flag
[00:11:16] and anthem, and this happens in some sports,
[00:11:19] in some it doesn't happen, I'm interested in the difference between these sports,
[00:11:23] well, in some sports it already happens, and what
[00:11:27] now, if Estonians don't participate, they
[00:11:30] will then be punished in this way, that is, for Russian aggression
[00:11:33] against Ukraine, athletes from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and so on and
[00:11:37] so forth are punished, and where is the justice then? Therefore, the fact that we participate
[00:11:41] in these competitions is absolutely normal, and thirdly, it
[00:11:44] seems to me that it is absolutely reasonable to monitor the neutral status
[00:11:48] of Russian athletes, in Russia not everyone supports the war, including
[00:11:52] athletes, yes, Russian athletes receive
[00:11:55] government money in most sports, we are not taking,
[00:11:58] for example, NHL hockey players or, for
[00:12:02] example, professional tennis players, in some sports,
[00:12:05] this is an exception, this is true, but
[00:12:08] nevertheless, even in such a situation, an athlete may
[00:12:12] not support
[00:12:14] the invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, on the contrary, as we see,
[00:12:18] for example, Ovechkin, you can earn millions without
[00:12:22] any support from Roskomsport, and...
[00:13:13] the beach soccer team, which refused
[00:13:16] to play against Belarusians in the Euroleague
[00:13:19] quarter-finals and simply didn't take the field, but again, if we're talking about
[00:13:23] competitive...
[00:13:55] it was accepted, so yes, the EOC has now
[00:13:58] laid everything out clearly, given concrete recommendations, and it's good that these
[00:14:02] recommendations exist, absolutely, but there's also one more point, after all,
[00:14:05] no one has canceled, as far as I understand, the rule that
[00:14:08] Russian athletes without a European
[00:14:12] residence permit cannot participate in competitions in
[00:14:15] Estonia, we've already had several Russian football players not come as part
[00:14:19] of, for example, Armenian clubs and so on and so forth, this
[00:14:23] point remains open for now.
[00:14:55] a sketch, and another one that is more serious. The first one is purely a
[00:14:58] sketch, how do you think, where, where
[00:15:01] this quote was taken from, this quote: I don't even have money
[00:15:05] for a colored poster,
[00:15:07] and this is someone from
[00:15:11] the representatives - Russian refugees living
[00:15:15] in Estonia, came to the Russian embassy when
[00:15:19] there were elections to the State Duma, drew a black and white poster,
[00:15:22] and why no money then, unexpectedly, unexpectedly.
[00:15:37] Tartu students demanded an improvement in their deplorable financial situation,
[00:15:41] Andrey Titov, I wanted to talk about teachers, about this strike, that maybe someone
[00:15:44] took a picture like that, good, and now the quote itself quickly:
[00:15:48] got a five, get a pie, well, are
[00:15:51] they students too? No, well, we had an article by Marina
[00:15:55] Begunkova about a special promotion,
[00:15:58] where, let's say, pies were exchanged for grades, to exaggerate,
[00:16:02] that's absolutely correct,
