[00:00:00] control the Arctic. In 1942,
[00:00:03] Nazi Germany conducted Operation
[00:00:06] Wonderland. The enemy sent its
[00:00:09] flagship, the heavy cruiser Admiral
[00:00:12] Scheer, and
[00:00:16] a group of submarines into the Kara Sea. The task was
[00:00:19] similar to the modern one -
[00:00:22] to block the Northern Sea Route.
[00:00:25] At that time, convoys with military cargo for the Red Army were sailing
[00:00:28] along it.
[00:00:31] Despite all its desire, the enemy could not disrupt
[00:00:34] navigation. The cruiser itself, having received
[00:00:37] damage from Soviet coastal batteries on
[00:00:41] Dickson, was forced to return to its home
[00:00:44] port, without completing the assigned
[00:00:48] task. A new, possible campaign into
[00:00:51] the Arctic will also end in ignominious
[00:00:55] failure, now not only for
[00:00:58] Germany, but also for...
[00:01:00] its NATO allies, that's for
[00:01:03] sure. Watch next, another
[00:01:06] rewriting of history after Kyiv, Stockholm
[00:01:10] declares that there was no Battle of the Neva.
[00:01:12] But
[00:01:18] why did Swedish chroniclers remain silent about it, and how
[00:01:22] Alexander Nevsky left his mark on the face of the ruler
[00:01:25] of the Swedes.
[00:01:30] This and much more in the program Hidden Threats with Nikolay
[00:01:33] Chendyaikin. Watch today live:
[00:01:37] disconnect Kyiv from intelligence data, stop selling weapons. Can
[00:01:40] the USA do this? Detailed analysis by Alexander Mikhailov. The Middle
[00:01:44] East is on fire. Houthis are destroying Saudi
[00:01:47] Arabia's infrastructure, supertankers are burning in Hormuz. Everything is leading to
[00:01:51] a big war. Nikolay Sukhov with material: Germans demand
[00:01:55] Merz's resignation. Why today's situation in Germany exactly
[00:01:58] resembles that time.
[00:02:14] What to do if you are blackmailed into committing
[00:02:18] sabotage, and you are afraid to say
[00:07:54] to create food reserves in case of a possible war with
[00:07:58] Russia, the Daily Mail
[00:08:00] wrote.
[00:08:03] Earlier, Russian Ambassador to Sweden Sergey Belyaev stated that in the kingdom there is
[00:08:06] blatant persecution of Russian speakers. Russophobia has become
[00:08:10] mainstream.
[00:08:13] Swedes do not hide their readiness, at the first command of their NATO
[00:08:16] masters, to use their full military potential against
[00:08:19] Russia.
[00:08:21] The Swedish authorities today do not hide that
[00:08:25] the direction of their military activity is exclusively
[00:08:28] anti-Russian. The head of Swedish intelligence stated that
[00:08:32] Russia will undoubtedly attack Sweden. In Sweden,
[00:08:36] the creation of special units
[00:08:39] preparing to fight for the Arctic
[00:08:43] was even announced. After Sweden's accession to NATO, Sweden began actively
[00:08:46] preparing for war. If, according to data from 2022, the Swedish army
[00:08:50] numbered only 14,500 people,
[00:08:54] then today it is 82,500
[00:08:57] people, and by 2030 they plan to increase the army's
[00:09:01] strength to 110-115,000
[00:09:03] people. Moreover, Sweden has even begun to publicly discuss the issue
[00:09:07] of creating nuclear weapons in the country, the
[00:09:10] Times wrote. Since the Russian threat is growing,
[00:09:14] Swedish politicians are discussing whether their country needs its own
[00:09:17] nuclear weapons. In September
[00:09:20] 2025, the Russian Embassy in Sweden was again
[00:09:24] attacked with a drone. A package of paint was
[00:09:27] dropped from it. The incident remained without a reaction
[00:09:30] from the authorities.
[00:09:34] It got to the point where the Minister of Migration of the country accused
[00:09:37] participants of the Immortal Regiment, who took to the streets in honor
[00:09:40] of the 80th anniversary of Victory, of ties with
[00:09:43] extremists. And pseudo-researchers began massively
[00:09:47] distorting history. For example, the author of this publication,
[00:09:50] "Who was Alexander Nevsky, the legendary Russian
[00:09:53] prince," called the merits of the great commander a fabrication. And the most
[00:09:57] famous film about Nevsky, by the renowned director Sergei
[00:10:01] Eisenstein, a quote "propaganda film,"
[00:10:04] shot under the guidance of the
[00:10:05] Politburo.
[00:10:11] And this Stockholm... newspaper denies the historical
[00:10:14] fact itself: the victory in 1240
[00:10:17] of the Russians over the Swedes, which entered the chronicles under the name
[00:10:20] Battle of the Neva. The reliability of the account of Russian
[00:10:24] chronicles.
[00:10:34] The battle is described in the Novgorod First Chronicle of the older and
[00:10:38] younger versions, as well as several versions of the Tale of
[00:10:41] the Life of Alexander Nevsky. Scandals in the matter
[00:10:45] of blackening and rewriting Russian history are also supported by
[00:10:48] figures from the independent, where would we be without
[00:10:50] them? Here, take a look, in
[00:10:54] 2016.
[00:11:25] But chronicles, both Russian and Western, tell us the
[00:11:29] opposite. Nevsky won 12
[00:11:32] battles and did not lose a
[00:11:35] single one. Moreover, in the 15th
[00:11:38] century, Nevsky was canonized as a
[00:11:41] saint. And in our days, in 2008, according
[00:11:44] to a public poll, he was recognized
[00:11:47] as the most iconic figure in Russian
[00:11:51] history.
[00:11:54] year,
[00:12:25] when the Battle of the Neva took place, the goal of the Swedes was to capture the Novgorod land, which was subsequently to become a bridgehead for the further
[00:12:33] advance of the invaders to the
[00:12:34] south.
[00:12:37] It was also planned to convert Rus' to the Western rite, that
[00:12:41] is, to subordinate the Russians to the Vatican, to the Western world,
[00:12:44] as stated in the Tale of the Life of Alexander Nevsky. Drawing analogies with
[00:12:48] modernity, the West tried to do to Novgorod what
[00:12:51] it did not so long ago to Ukraine.
[00:14:25] Kyiv, but if he had prepared for this battle, he
[00:14:28] would undoubtedly have done so.
[00:14:32] Russian historians explain that the prince indeed called no one
[00:14:36] for help, but only because by 1240
[00:14:40] Kyiv had been ravaged by Batu's invasion, and the Suzdal
[00:14:43] druzhina had been destroyed by him, which Nevsky
[00:14:47] undoubtedly knew. But most importantly, the Swedes landed
[00:14:50] only 200 km from Novgorod and would have covered these two.
[00:15:25] already numbered several thousand, the exact number of invaders
[00:15:28] is unknown, but they had a clear
[00:15:31] advantage. So, as chronicles testify,
[00:15:35] the Russians lost only 20 in that battle.
[00:16:08] According to descriptions, four noble Rusyns
[00:16:12] were killed. In 1262,
[00:16:16] during the storming of the city of Yuryev, the Russians
[00:16:19] lost two noble
[00:16:22] warriors, in the Battle of the Neva
[00:16:25] 10 times more. If
[00:16:28] you carefully study the chronicles, you can find
[00:16:31] the answer to the question of how Nevsky managed to defeat
[00:16:35] the superior forces of the Swedes. The Russians approached
[00:16:38] the enemy unnoticed under the cover of the forest, attacked
[00:16:42] from different sides and cut off the camp from
[00:16:44] the Neva, that is, from ships with
[00:16:47] reinforcements. Yes, that's
[00:16:49] why the element of surprise, coordinated
[00:16:53] tactics, is the key to success. There are many
[00:16:56] chronicle sources that describe the Battle of the Neva in detail, but
[00:17:00] they are all exclusively Russian, the Swedes
[00:17:03] note. Among Swedish
[00:17:05] sources,
[00:17:19] in the 13th century in Sweden, chronicles in the usual sense did
[00:17:22] not simply exist. Early
[00:17:25] events of their history were rewritten from other sources
[00:17:29] selectively. During that period, Sweden did not keep chronicle codes
[00:17:33] and did not make chronicle entries. There are official documents, legal
[00:17:36] documents.
[00:18:37] to diminish the significance of Alexander Nevsky, therefore Russia, when
[00:18:41] the Western press, Western historians actively oppose
[00:18:44] the existence, including
[00:18:48] Russian heroes, like, for example, Alexander Yaroslavich
[00:18:51] Nevsky, it naturally pursues a policy
[00:18:54] of organizing exhibitions,
[00:18:57] organizing various scientific discussions that debunk
[00:19:01] myths, including those of foreign
[00:19:02] scholars.
[00:19:05] And I want to remind you of the phrase that has come down to our
[00:19:09] days and become a winged one, from the
[00:19:11] prince himself, with which he
[00:19:14] inspired his retinue before the Battle of the Neva:
[00:19:17] "Brothers, God is not in might, but in
[00:19:20] truth. Let us not fear the multitude
[00:19:23] of warriors, for God is
[00:19:27] with us."
[00:19:30] In general, we are for peace and friendship with
[00:19:34] the Swedes, and in general, but in case
[00:19:37] of anything, in case of anything, we can
[00:19:41] remind them of the results of the Battle of the Neva,
[00:19:44] and of the Battle on Lake Peipus
[00:19:48] too, we will remind
[00:19:51] them, in case of anything,
[00:19:54] yes, and don't deny our victories,
[00:19:58] this was the Hidden Threats program, I'm Nikolay Chendyaikin, see you in
[00:20:02] a week.
[00:20:18] Zelensky said you look weak, he's criticizing. Who said
[00:20:21] that? Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, just said that because of this
[00:20:25] deal, you look weak. Understood, let's
[00:20:27] move on.
[00:20:30] Pay attention to the face of the US President at the moment of these questions, it's already
[00:20:33] clear that Zelensky is in for trouble. Another minute later.
[00:20:47] Nikolay Matveev, well, the diesel deal made him.
[00:21:20] tell your Ukrainian friends not to provoke my president.
[00:21:24] My president can get very angry very quickly, and if that
[00:21:28] happens, his reaction can become completely unpredictable. Can
[00:21:31] you explain to us how ready your Ukrainian friends are for
[00:21:35] compromises? Let's start with this diesel
[00:21:38] fuel deal, it's the most disgusting thing I've seen since
[00:21:42] Trump came to power, if we're talking about relations with Russia and
[00:21:45] Ukraine. Europe will remain on Ukraine's
[00:21:49] side.
[00:22:29] Trump also called for a change of leadership in Ukraine. I
[00:22:32] think it's time for Ukraine to have a new president.
[00:22:36] I suggest they find a new leader who can make
[00:22:39] a deal, because he, Zelensky, could have made many
[00:22:43] agreements, but for some reason he never did. Well,
[00:22:46] the number of rumors and insiders around what happened is, of course,
[00:22:50] off the charts. Now we'll discuss everything, Ramil Zamdykhanov writes about how
[00:22:53] Ukraine, attention, received a resounding slap in the face. We invite him to the chair to
[00:22:57] applause.
[00:23:00] The reason for the urgent departure of the Ukrainian delegation from Miami was a phone
[00:23:04] conversation between Trump and Vladimir Putin, during which an agreement was
[00:23:07] reached on the supply of Russian diesel fuel to
[00:23:11] the US. The discussion was about the immediate supply of more than
[00:23:14] 300,000 tons with the prospect of increasing the volume
[00:23:17] to 5 million tons. Simultaneously, the US Treasury issued
[00:23:21] a license softening sanctions until April 2027.
[00:23:25] All of this looks like a systemic solution designed
[00:23:29] for at least six months. In the current conditions, this is a very long
[00:23:32] planning horizon. For Kyiv, this was a cold
[00:23:36] shower. According to sources, Zelensky learned about the deal approximately
[00:23:39] an hour before its public announcement by Trump. The Financial
[00:23:43] Times reported that negotiations collapsed after Trump's public
[00:23:46] statements. Trump told reporters that...
[00:23:54] Ukraine needs a new leader who can make
[00:23:58] a deal, thereby directly questioning the legitimacy
[00:24:01] of the Ukrainian leadership and its ability to be a negotiating
[00:24:05] partner. Elon Musk, whose influence on the US
[00:24:08] information field is hard to overestimate, supported Trump. First, he
[00:24:12] stated, Zelensky has gone too far, then
[00:24:16] added: "I agree, it's time for Ukraine to find
[00:24:19] a new one." You know how with a teenager, when they're overpraised, they go
[00:24:23] wild. Well, Zelensky, they overpraised him for
[00:24:26] being a good actor, for being a showman. Trump is older, as
[00:24:29] a showman, by age, by experience, he
[00:24:33] probably didn't forgive him for these public outbursts, and when he started
[00:24:37] openly calling him a weakling, it all became personal. I'll pick up
[00:24:41] this topic about the teenager, I remember my childhood years, when
[00:24:44] Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev died, mhm, our class
[00:24:47] teacher kept telling us, children... watch
[00:24:51] TV carefully, remember the event, the Secretary General
[00:24:54] died, Brezhnev died, how this happens. I recommend doing
[00:24:57] the same now, watch carefully
[00:25:01] how Trump buries, or at least deeply buries Zelensky, but
[00:25:05] he really deserved it. How much passion will last, we remember how he got
[00:25:08] into an argument with him in the Oval Office,
[00:25:11] JD Vance joined in, then we thought he would strangle
[00:25:15] him live on air, nothing happened, moreover,
[00:25:19] he started gaining sympathies in...
[00:25:50] Honestly, these statements in social media, when he writes about himself in
[00:25:54] the third person, that here is a person who is the
[00:25:57] national security of the United States, and they throw in his face that he
[00:26:01] is weak, I think that... he won't forgive quickly, and even more so, why
[00:26:04] weak, he is still confident in the rightness of his actions. Well, yes, indeed, he
[00:26:08] faces a problem, he needs to win the congressional elections, and what politician doesn't
[00:26:12] need to win congressional elections, and what's wrong with that, generally speaking? I think in any
[00:26:16] country, politicians fight to win parliamentary elections, well, except
[00:26:20] Ukraine, where parliamentary elections are banned, so there's nothing to
[00:26:23] win. Well, fine, let's say we understand that Trump now, as you
[00:26:26] put it, is our big guy, maybe, but what will the Europeans do,
[00:26:30] because Ursula von der already urgently...
[00:27:02] everyone, all this other camarilla, these are truly globalists, whose frontman
[00:27:06] is Zelensky. In this case, Zelensky is not
[00:27:10] Trump's kind of guy, so we see, despite their embraces
[00:27:13] and quarrels, we see that he is a stranger to him, generally speaking, so between
[00:27:17] them there is always a distance. He understands that Zelensky is not from his stable,
[00:27:21] generally speaking, a horse. So indeed, well,
[00:27:25] who said it would be easy, yes, indeed Europe will object,
[00:27:28] yes, Europe will resist, well, what, here it's important.
[00:27:33] how to understand what, on the Mirotvorets website, will Trump finally
[00:27:36] be included, no, recorded? In our studio is
[00:27:39] Zvezda TV channel producer Vladimir Duyun, he had a big event
[00:27:43] a couple of days ago, he was included in the
[00:27:46] list of the Mirotvorets website. If
[00:27:49] it weren't for the terrorist-extremist Goncharenko, who also recently got there,
[00:27:52] it's quite good company. As Rodion Miroshnik said, he
[00:27:56] says, how could you include Goncharenko in a list of such
[00:27:59] worthy people? include.
[00:28:32] knowledge from the enemy.
[00:28:35] So about whether Trump will be included there or
[00:28:38] not, it's a rather difficult,
[00:28:41] probably, question, because they can include anyone there for absolutely
[00:28:45] any reason.
[00:28:47] In particular, I think I got there
[00:28:51] after, yes, yes, yes, tell us how you got there, how you found out about
[00:28:55] it. I probably got there after
[00:28:58] I appeared several times at briefings
[00:29:01] with... the president's press secretary
[00:29:04] Peskov, because before that, as a producer,
[00:29:07] I usually stayed behind the scenes. So
[00:29:10] I assume that this was the reason
[00:29:14] for the addition. I found out about it because we were just doing a news story about
[00:29:17] Goncharenko, so you are an enemy of Ukraine for asking journalistic
[00:29:21] questions, is that right? That's right, and
[00:29:24] what's most surprising and what became
[00:29:27] such a reason to tease me in
[00:29:30] the newsroom is that... the peacemakers also
[00:29:33] added that I am a nuclear terrorist.
[00:29:36] And why nuclear? I have no idea.
[00:29:40] Maybe you decided to study the psyche of people who
[00:29:44] write formulations in Mirotvorets, but that's
[00:29:47] a thankless task,
[00:29:50] and they added nuclear terrorists, and now colleagues in the information service
[00:30:11] similar situation happened last year. One example is
[00:30:15] the already mentioned Oval Office and the spat with Vance and Trump.
[00:30:18] The second example is Anchorage, where our president met
[00:30:22] Donald Trump in Alaska. Then the same thing happened,
[00:30:26] all the phones in the White House were ringing, European
[00:30:29] leaders just ganged up on
[00:30:32] Trump, started working on him. Then
[00:30:35] delegations came in both cases from Europe, precisely such direct
[00:30:39] EU emissaries, who again poured the necessary
[00:30:42] water into Donald Trump's ears. Already literally a few days later,
[00:30:46] Zelensky arrives there, both times it was like that for an audience,
[00:30:50] they talk to him in a completely different format, promise new
[00:30:54] ZUR for Patriots, new weapons and
[00:30:57] so on. So we shouldn't about what?
