00:00:00refusing to play hockey with Russians after our team returns to world sports,
00:00:04what are they afraid of? They asked the greatest hockey
00:00:07power Canada to follow their example: they bit
00:00:10their tongue, in Russian schools they are confidently shortening foreign language
00:00:14lessons, do we really not need English
00:00:17anymore, and how will we communicate with new friends and
00:00:21partners then? If you speak Russian, it's easier for you, you can ask
00:00:24for directions, and I'm still going in circles, watch
00:00:27our program.
00:00:42Hello, this is the meeting place on NTV, the place where everything
00:00:45becomes clear. I am Andrey Norkin, my colleague Ivan Trushkin, we
00:00:49are live. Usually in our news blocks
00:00:52Vanya talks about crazy refrigerators,
00:00:56definite article "of" was forgotten but today somehow I got this news, the thing is that...
00:01:00European press this morning found
00:01:03the culprit of these cyberattacks on freezers
00:01:06in dozens of EU countries, because of which, because of these
00:01:10attacks, tons of products spoiled there.
00:01:13So, what do they write? The hacker group
00:01:16is called no name 057, associated with
00:01:20the Kremlin. They do not provide evidence, well,
00:01:24as you understand, the free democratic press
00:01:27does not need any evidence.
00:02:30We told you during our previous broadcast that the United
00:02:33States, before the trilateral talks in Abu
00:02:36Dhabi, USA, Russia and Ukraine, intend to meet
00:02:39separately with Europeans in Brussels, we told you, well
00:02:43please, today this meeting is taking place,
00:02:46actually, we presented the participants here on our
00:02:50screen, there are many flags, the World Bank, the European
00:02:53Commission, Germany, France, Great Britain are separately
00:02:56represented, well, in addition to them, actually the USA and Ukraine.
00:03:00TASS agency and its sources in Brussels claim that
00:03:04this series of consultations has not yielded any results
00:03:07yet, what went wrong? As the final
00:03:11statements showed, this Brussels internal meeting is held
00:03:14under the motto "Everyone talks about their own thing". For example,
00:03:18the European Commission, which, as you know, is headed by Euroführer Ursula
00:03:21von der Leyen, is fiercely advocating for finding new funds for
00:03:25Ukraine, and not for the reconstruction of the country, but apparently for
00:03:28the continuation of hostilities. The only thing the so-called
00:03:32President Zelensky could boast about was a conversation with Vitkov and Kushner, where he
00:03:36again tried to beg for missiles for Patriot systems. Well,
00:03:39finally, the hereditary Nazi Kaja Kallas came
00:03:42out into the light of day, who also dragged in the results of the American
00:03:46elections.
00:03:49American voters clearly expressed their choice,
00:03:53I hope that the new composition of Congress will continue to support Ukraine
00:03:57and intensify pressure on Russia. Europe. The USA
00:04:00will be much stronger together and will be able to jointly convey
00:04:03signals to Russia. The terrorist Zelensky himself,
00:04:07seeing these first data, the first figures in
00:04:10support of American oppositionists, in support of Democrats,
00:04:14engaged in his favorite activity, namely interference in the
00:04:17internal affairs of the United States, appearing on the screens of
00:04:20European television channels, he began to fiercely
00:04:23praise the Democrats, who supposedly already promised him
00:04:27a whole host of weapons, well, and new ones.
00:04:34batches of weapons and mountains of missiles for Patriots, but this was only the beginning of dizziness from success. All Ukrainian press is now writing about Kyiv's plans to use
00:04:38Democrats to hold entrepreneur Elon Musk,
00:04:41who is close to Trump, accountable for allegedly personally
00:04:44ordering the slowdown of Ukraine's Starlink satellite communication. According
00:04:48to CNN, opponents of the White House in the Senate have already
00:04:51taken the first steps and demanded that structures close to Musk
00:04:55preserve all documents, all records.
00:04:58документы, все записи.
00:05:12power is dangerous, the concentration of power in one
00:05:16person who doesn't have that much money is also
00:05:19dangerous, this is the meaning of the separation
00:05:22of powers, so that not everything is concentrated in
00:05:25one person. American liberal
00:05:29media are now trying to switch to new, although in reality
00:05:32old rails, here for your attention,
00:05:36a story even cooler than all sorts of Mask adventures,
00:05:39facilitate nasal breathing and a fantastic
00:05:41thriller about insidious Russian satellites
00:05:45that are terrorizing the Western orbital group,
00:05:48it all sounds, of course, interesting, this group
00:05:52works for Ukraine, well, let's figure out how it all
00:05:55really is. The first incident, according to Reuters, happened last
00:05:59month. Then the Russian military satellite
00:06:01Cosmos-2612, according to the agency, suddenly
00:06:05approached a Finnish commercial apparatus, which transmits
00:06:08data to Western intelligence agencies, understandably also to Ukraine. Allegedly.
00:06:12The distance between the satellites decreased from several
00:06:15hundred kilometers to several hundred meters, and
00:06:19then increased again. Western experts immediately started shouting that Russia
00:06:23had practiced an attack in space, that's how they interpreted the maneuvers of our
00:06:26apparatus, now they are watching a couple of other
00:06:30Russian satellites, which, again, according to foreign
00:06:33observers, behave strangely, and allegedly
00:06:36pursue the Western spy
00:07:12spoke for the free democratic press and evidence,
00:07:16whatever it may be, is no longer needed, and apparently, somehow the ability and necessity
00:07:19to analyze any events, that is also generally not
00:07:34ago, I definitely said that most likely the Republicans would lose
00:07:38the elections, in general, many of our guests were even convinced that
00:07:41they would lose.
00:08:42won't be, here with the so-called
00:08:46diesel deal, the Kremlin generally maintains
00:08:49calm, in America some people got so
00:08:52nervous that they say they will cancel this deal now, moreover,
00:08:56there are forces that say it should be canceled, in general, there
00:09:08Congress, Democrats triumphantly regained control of both the Senate and...
00:09:42investigation, sue him use all available
00:09:46legislative tools, to make it difficult
00:09:48for him. Now Trump is a lame duck,
00:09:52as it is customary to call presidents in the USA who are bound hand and
00:09:55foot until the end of their term. Controlling
00:09:58Congress Democrats will be able to enthusiastically cut budgets, block
00:10:02laws proposed by the White House, arrange endless
00:10:06hearings and investigations. Trump
00:10:08himself reacted to the defeat of his party members in his signature
00:10:12style. He published a picture of a red
00:10:15baseball cap with the inscription "Veto" on social networks, and then went on air,
00:10:18praised his opponents and promised to get along with them.
00:10:22I'll probably get along with the Democrats. unless they want to act
00:10:26destructively, but I have the right to veto, so if
00:10:29we don't like what they do, or they,
00:10:32they've already called and want to discuss some things, and
00:10:36that's good. The New York Times noted a sharp change
00:10:40in Trump's rhetoric. The president suddenly announced his readiness
00:10:44to cooperate with Democrats, which was not the case before. This is attributed to
00:10:47the threat of impeachment, the chances of which, according to bookmakers,
00:10:50soared to 79%.
00:11:25strategies leading to victory. While Trump
00:11:28counts the days, Democrats are already anticipating a major revision of his
00:11:31legacy and gleefully rubbing their hands. And first
00:11:35of all, they will probably deal with the return of military and financial aid to
00:11:38Ukraine, which Republicans regularly hindered for the last
00:11:422 years. This means that aid packages
00:11:46to Ukraine will be pushed through not in 9 months, but in 9 days
00:11:50or 9 weeks, the signal to the Kremlin will be completely
00:11:53different. Democrats have already criticized the White House's attempts
00:11:57to discuss with Vladimir Putin the return of American
00:12:00energy companies to Russia and the unfreezing of sovereign
00:12:03funds. And also, according to forecasts, they intend to give Trump
00:12:06a public dressing down for the recent diesel deal with Moscow.
00:12:10The US Treasury's license that temporarily
00:12:13allowed the import of Russian fuel into America
00:12:16will surely be targeted. The fact that this will not be tolerated was clearly
00:12:20demonstrated by New Jersey Governor Mikey
00:12:23Sherrill. She on...
00:14:25in order to overcome a presidential veto, 2/3
00:15:01you, how do you see the future of all these
00:15:04relationships, well, first of all, it must be said that the defeat
00:15:07of Republicans and Trump is partially a foreign policy
00:15:11defeat for Russia, since for the last
00:15:15year and a half we have always exclusively bet on
00:15:18Trump, ignored Europe and thought that Trump
00:15:21would squeeze Ukraine, we can then immediately clarify.
00:15:37especially when some phone calls were discussed.
00:15:39телефону
00:15:41How could one hope for him in such circumstances? No, Vitkov tried to do this regarding, so to speak,
00:15:45Ukraine and regarding Musk, you said in the previous program that he
00:15:49is a loser. You will see that he becomes an even bigger loser
00:15:52in Abu Dhabi next week, especially after
00:15:55this meeting in Brussels, where it became
00:15:58clear that Europe, so to speak, took a tough
00:16:02stance and the Eurotroika will be present
00:16:04in Abu Dhabi, which will not give
00:16:08any, so to speak, chances, the Eurotroika will sit
00:16:12at the negotiating table, she will not be at the negotiating table, but she will be present, she
00:16:15will be present there constantly,
00:16:19she will not allow Vitkov or Kushner to
00:16:22advance anything.
00:16:25I will immediately clarify, this all becomes possible only
00:16:28because Trump has now lost
00:16:31Congress, or would it all be the same, would it be
00:16:35the same, if the houses.
00:16:53Europe waited for their hour, they will just outlast Trump now, so
00:16:57you think that's it, this moment has come, they outlasted him, another 2
00:17:01years is not needed, no, there is still time, Trump has 45 days left to do
00:17:05something, but given that... any of his
00:17:08actions, especially any radical ones, will create even
00:17:11more problems, I don't think he will manage to do anything at all, and even more so
00:17:15regarding Ukraine, well, in general, the position is clear, well, the position is clear, that we
00:17:19are, as always, to blame for everything, so, let's
00:17:22say, if we proceeded from the fact that now
00:17:26Trump, Vitkov, Kushner will come, lift all sanctions,
00:17:30who proceeded from this, I wanted to show
00:17:33someone present, who proceeded from this, no one present,
00:18:07to say that the Americans will remove themselves and generally
00:18:10will try to do nothing, and not just put pressure on
00:18:14Europe, I mean, step aside from all
00:18:18this process, they have not left yet, that is,
00:18:21what Trump can do, as the head of the executive branch, he still has all these
00:18:24powers, Congress,
00:18:28which was and Congress, which will be, it differs little
00:18:31in terms of the Ukrainian issue, because even then a lion's share
00:18:34of Republicans was. Unfortunately,
00:20:09this is real and it's not about tens, but hundreds
00:20:12of billions. Let me remind you that Trump inherited
00:20:15500 billion dollars, and
00:20:17military-industrial corporations were losing money, Trump didn't
00:20:21include him, actually it's about big money, they will
00:20:24push it through, now that there isn't, wait a second, they will push it through when
00:20:27Andrey Vladimirovich said there are 45 days, 27th
00:20:31year, no, well, wait, as far as I understand, the seventh year is being passed
00:20:34already. and these will be additional costs, it will all be additional
00:20:38costs, of course, of course, they will just borrow this money from themselves
00:20:41in a separate payment, yes, it's
00:20:45not about the US budget for their functioning.
00:20:49на их функциони.
00:22:20there, let's say, Romanians say: buy our BMPs, your power will increase,
00:22:23it doesn't fight anymore, robots fight, so we are not waiting for
00:22:27any concessions from Ukraine, because no one will pressure
00:22:31it and is not going to, they themselves, all those who used to pressure, would carry
00:22:34their feet away, unfortunately, unfortunately Zelensky now considers himself
00:22:37on top, he believes that, moreover, he will already squeeze Musk,
00:22:41because problems have arisen for him in Texas and it is a question of him potentially being penalized
00:22:45by tens of billions, well, and most importantly, Trump has now
00:22:48been stripped of the opportunity.
00:24:20levers, besides the veto, that was already
00:24:22said, so, counteracting Congress's attempts
00:24:26to obstruct, this is related to two important aspects: first,
00:24:30it is known that the prerogative of conducting foreign policy primarily
00:24:33belongs to the president, that is, in fact, Congress does not
00:24:37have the right to engage in diplomacy on behalf of the president, Congress does not
00:24:41have the right to withdraw American troops, say, from the Middle
00:24:45East, Congress does not have the right to overturn a presidential order simply by voting
00:24:48against it, a separate law is needed. It has
00:24:50the right to adopt an additional funding package
00:24:56for that very Ukraine, these packages did not exist under Trump.
00:24:59It does, yes. This is the second point,
00:25:03but the President's
00:25:05powers include how to enforce the law. For
00:25:09example, he can do it very slowly. This is the first
00:25:12point. And another very important point is that now we will allocate money, now we
00:25:16will buy weapons, yes, that's right, but to
00:25:18acquire goods, the goods must be available.
00:25:22Only 33-35% of pre-war
00:25:25Patriot stocks are left for the US. They need to replenish their own. And the production cycle for one missile, this
00:25:29P3, which shoots down ballistic missiles, is 42 months,
00:25:33guys, you understand, they are now producing 5, 42
00:25:36months, yes, almost 2 years for one, yes, yes,
00:25:40yes, more than 2 years, yes, yes, this is the production cycle, that
00:25:43is, from order to delivery, absolutely seriously, the same with prisms,
00:25:47yes, well that's how it is.
00:26:32it's complicated, yes, if he fills anything
00:26:36for himself, he filled it under
00:27:02and...
00:32:11becomes clear. We continue. Well, and let's say a couple more words about'.
00:33:15even
00:33:15more significant.
00:33:20And without Germany, it is impossible,
00:33:22impossible. Without you, freedom will certainly
00:33:26suffer defeat. The European press is also rubbing
00:33:29its hands, saying that the already small chances that the White House will force
00:33:33Kyiv to agree to withdraw troops from Donbass are now approaching
00:33:36zero. And the terrorist Zelensky and his European
00:33:40patrons have no more reason to agree even to freeze
00:33:43the conflict. And now. Ukrainian agenda may well return
00:33:47inflated demands from reparations and immediate NATO membership
00:33:51to a return to the 1991 borders. Democrats
00:33:55very clearly speak about supporting Ukraine, about helping
00:33:58Ukraine. They speak about restoring ties between
00:34:01the United States and Europe. Therefore, there is hope that a balance
00:34:05of power will be established and that we will receive more
00:34:08support. And if Congress now speaks about strong
00:34:12financial support or support in the form of,
00:34:15as Europe is doing and demonstrating today, then
00:34:19this will be a positive factor that will influence Putin.
00:34:23In Brussels, they also poorly conceal their jubilation.
00:34:26Diplomats call the defeat of the Republicans the beginning
00:34:29of the end of the entire Trump era. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro
00:34:32Sanchez, in joy, kicked the US president, stating that
00:34:35Americans voted against hatred and populism.
00:34:39German Defense Minister Pistorius calls the defeat of Trump's
00:34:42party historical. The European Parliament, in the person of its
00:34:46vice-president, also perked up, hoping for eternal
00:34:50pro-Ukrainian and green solidarity of the renewed
00:34:52Capitol. However, behind the scenes of this celebration of life,
00:34:56the EU advises not to rush with champagne. Trump can become
00:34:59angry and vindictive, he still has plenty of opportunities,
00:35:02from accelerated withdrawal of US troops from Europe to
00:35:06cutting NATO budgets. And do not forget, Donald Trump has already been impeached
00:35:10twice and it did him no harm. He was re-elected to
00:35:13his post. I think. the combination of words "political deadlock" will become key in
00:35:172027 and 2028,
00:35:20but in Europe, in a state of exhilaration, they are already taking out their own,
00:35:24far from peaceful plan for Ukraine. According to SkyNews,
00:35:27London and Paris are rushing to prepare a multinational mission
00:35:31from eleven countries to send to Ukraine immediately after the end
00:35:35of hostilities. British military, if the document is to be believed, will have the right
00:35:39to return fire on Russian forces. French
00:35:42fighters will patrol the sky, and...
00:36:15This is too much for one country, Ukraine. Ivan
00:36:19Sergeevich, I can't help but, no, did you read Tusk's explanation
00:36:22about people with flashlights? No, so,
00:36:26yesterday, or the day before yesterday. Now well, it doesn't matter, in general, a few days ago
00:36:29troops along the Polish border were put on heightened
00:36:32alert, Tusk made a separate statement about this.
00:36:36He noticed people with flashlights
00:36:38on our side of the border, that's dangerous,
00:36:42yes, then he explains why there
00:36:46was such a reaction, I don't know about people with flashlights, but the Poles
00:36:49took it very seriously. Nevertheless,
00:36:53I will return to the topic, Ivan Sergeevich. Are these
00:36:56all the old, familiar Biden times coming back, right? Well, not exactly
00:37:00Biden's times, let's be honest, Biden was still president, he
00:37:04was a man with extraordinary powers, who at the same time
00:37:07was generally on good terms with the European Union,
00:37:11supported Ukraine, so the current situation,
00:37:14well, when the president remains a Republican, you can't
00:37:18call it that, it won't be like under Biden, I mean
00:37:21billions, up to 100 billions a year
00:37:25are sent.
00:37:57Ukraine, the United States, and we, the Ukrainian delegation
00:38:01says: "And we now generally don't want to discuss anything,
00:38:05we are on top, you Americans, well, how is all this, well, with a high
00:38:08degree of probability, it will be roughly like that, because that Eurotroika will be sitting behind
00:38:12the doors, somewhere there they will be hiding in the toilet, no,
00:38:15indeed Ukraine is now enthusiastic
00:38:19about what is happening, in my opinion not entirely justified, it will be much
00:38:23sharper, much less amenable to the American side,
00:38:26counting on the fact that they will be able to assert their rights to
00:38:29Trump through precisely the new upper and lower houses
00:38:32of the United States of America, and this is the most important thing, in fact, they will
00:38:36demand weapons, money, firstly, they will constantly annoy
00:38:39him, most likely regarding weapons, money and everything
00:38:42else, they will not be able to push Donald Trump, I think for him this is a red
00:38:46line, he will not support Ukraine in this way and will do everything to prevent
00:38:50this from happening, but what concerns sanction pressure on
00:38:54the Russian Federation, and there is, sometimes, maybe the law
00:38:57of terrorist and extremist Graham will begin to work in a minimal
00:39:01dose, comfortable for Trump, but it will begin, because he
00:39:04will have to, he will have to find compromises with the new leadership,
00:39:08he will have to deal with this, for the simple reason that if they,
00:39:12then, if he vetoes the law, they try to override this veto, but
00:39:15it doesn't work out, they will simply come to a shutdown, they will not be able to go anywhere,
00:39:18this is a shutdown in what, a shutdown is done if a
00:39:22budget is adopted, the budget will be adopted now, it's clear, it's clear, but they will have, in any
00:39:26case, this situation... changes,
00:39:39there will be no radical change, they will just have a head-on collision, and that's how it will
00:39:43happen, but there is, for example, we talked about
00:39:47the deal, yes, the diesel deal, it will
00:39:50certainly not be canceled now, the big question is whether it can be extended, but it will work
00:39:53for now, but there's a nuance, there's a nuance, there is.
00:39:57well, there are, for example, states in the United States that still,
00:40:01for example, refuse
00:40:03to buy that very, that very Russian product, because they
00:40:07say, "we signed a document in twenty-two that says we can't
00:40:10buy Russian energy carriers,"
00:40:13yes, well, they signed it, it works, yes, they say that there is this law, we will not
00:40:17do it, we don't care what you have in your licenses,
00:40:21there are more, I would like you to explain what you
00:40:24see regarding Europe and Ukraine, how will
00:40:27they behave there, Mikhail Vladimirovich, 5 cents about the law, it's really
00:40:31from 2022, but the problem is that there's no diesel
00:40:34shortage in the US, it's just expensive, so it's not
00:40:38a fact that these tankers even went to the US. The thing is that they
00:40:41issued a license, Congress, you can really say it contradicts the 2022 law,
00:40:45you can't ship oil to the US, they weren't going to, but the Ministry of
00:40:49Finance issued a license not only for the US market, but for the international
00:40:52market.
00:41:27we really like to reflect on what was said in the West, this is generally, I
00:43:43Ukraine is not even second, not third, it's tenth, and not
00:43:47a single candidate who goes to the 2028
00:43:50elections with the slogan "I will support Ukraine" will win anything there,
00:43:54because Americans are only interested in their own problems, so if
00:43:57the Democrats start seriously playing this story again, the Republicans will bury
00:44:01them there, just as they buried Biden,
00:44:05so here's another question, we are completely faced with the fact that it
00:44:08plays some role. In fact, the story of the excessive
00:44:12in Kyiv and the reaction of the West to this complete absence of
00:44:15reaction played a bigger role in the American elections, on the one hand, on
00:44:19the one hand, they saw inside the Ukrainian regime, which first
00:44:23of all imprisoned those who actually publicly revealed it, and the West,
00:44:26which said that it was a military dormitory, so here's what I, unfortunately,
00:44:30it turns out that I am repeating after Sergey Viktorovich and Dmitry Anatolyevich, but until you
00:44:34break this regime, all talks about you
00:44:37reaching some kind of deal are absolutely useless. They were looking for money,
00:46:10they tried to allocate
00:46:20something new, they didn't find any, the Ukrainians urgently asked for money, they were told,
00:46:23sorry, we already owe you from the last loan, where will they get the money, they are
00:46:27borrowing it, they have money to borrow, they don't have
00:46:31as much money as Zelensky asks for, but they have enough
00:46:34money to keep him afloat, they asked for more than 30
00:46:37billion, so what, did they wait? First,
00:46:41Ukraine's
00:46:45desires were and remain, second, Europe's desires
00:46:49were and remain desires for Europe, what?
00:47:04As for the peace track, the peace track is now being promoted,
00:47:08well, yes, we asked Trump to put pressure on Europe, he couldn't do
00:47:11it then, he won't be able to now, the peace track is now only
00:47:15promoting the decommunization of the Ukrainian economy, which
00:47:18we are engaged in, not Donald Trump, not Europe, and not the American
00:47:22Congress.
00:54:06and this is the meeting place on NTV, a place where everything becomes clear, well, by the way,
00:54:09about predictability, about the expectability of some
00:54:13things, here's a completely expected reaction to
00:54:16the decision of the sports arbitration
00:54:19court, about the return of our hockey
00:54:22team to international competitions, well, the reaction of
00:54:26Western media, Western politicians, well,
00:54:28the tone was set by the International Hockey
00:54:31Federation, which immediately after the decision... in
00:54:35Lausanne, announced that it did not agree with this decision at all, but
00:54:38of course, was forced to comply with it, but then national federations
00:54:42came into play, for whom, apparently, the law is not
00:54:46written, already seven European countries have announced that they will
00:54:48boycott matches with the Russian national team if our athletes
00:54:52are allowed to compete, the Norwegians justified this by saying that
00:54:56playing against Russians threatens, I quote, the psyche and
00:54:59safety of hockey players, here in Latvia they reminded that
00:55:03sports rivalry with our country is
00:55:06illegal, this was decided from 2024,
00:55:09the ban at the state level somehow strengthens their
00:55:13position, that's what they think, the countries
00:55:16hosting tournaments are not waiting for Russians, Canada
00:55:19announced that it will not issue visas for our hockey players in
00:55:23December, and the Germans are even ready to refuse to host the World Championship,
00:55:27just so that Russia is not there.
00:55:30Russia and Belarus support an illegal, unjustified,
00:55:34appalling.
00:56:05This is actually confirmed by the International Hockey Federation. Moreover,
00:56:08if our team is allowed to
00:56:11compete, and some country says: no, we boycott
00:56:15Russians and don't play the match, then our country is awarded
00:56:18a technical victory with a score of 5:0.
00:56:22Of course, this arrangement does not suit Europeans either, because who
00:56:26doesn't like to win? Now they want the European Commission to ban
00:56:29our athletes from coming to Europe
00:56:32at all. It's funny that...
00:56:38it comes from traditional favorites of hockey competitions, Sweden and Finland, they are asking Brussels for permission
00:56:42to refuse to issue visas (quote: based on the
00:56:45applicant's citizenship), that is, Russians will not be able
00:56:49to visit Europe simply because they
00:56:51are Russians. It would seem that discrimination is
00:56:55obvious, but no, here the High Representative,
00:56:58the High Commissioner of the UN for Human
00:57:01Rights, firmly and clearly
00:57:04states: we see no
00:57:06discrimination here, allegedly refusing
00:57:10to play with the Russian team is the exercise of the right
00:57:14to freedom of opinion, and nothing more, at the same time... the
00:57:17UN somehow said that they did not have information
00:57:21about the reasons for the European boycott. I, Andrey Vladinovich, have
00:57:24repeatedly said that I do not share all sorts of delights
00:57:27regarding the return or decisions of some courts, that we are allegedly being
00:57:31returned somewhere. Maybe I am not right, but Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev
00:57:45win in international courts.
00:58:57had a choice, there were two languages, well, there were
00:59:01some exceptions, some schools, where French might
00:59:04suddenly appear, but otherwise it was English and German,
00:59:08mostly everyone chose English, but
00:59:12it doesn't matter, there were still two lessons a week, so
00:59:15lately, as far as I understand...
00:59:47diligently master English grammar, learn words and
00:59:51refine pronunciation, but from this year everything changed.
00:59:54The Ministry of Education cut the total volume of foreign language classes by
00:59:58102 hours. The main blow was taken by fifth and
01:00:01seventh grades, left with two lessons a week,
01:00:05instead of three. The mandatory second language was also removed
01:00:08from the curriculum, the number of teachers decreased, and
01:00:11the number of students per teacher increased. When 30
01:00:14people try to speak English at once in one room.
01:01:25reform. With two hours a week, schoolchildren will forget words
01:01:28faster than they move on to the next topic. Lessons
01:01:31will become a mere formality, and the best teachers are already
01:01:35packing their bags for private
01:01:37tutoring. However, all this has already happened in Soviet
01:01:41times. Then in an ordinary school foreign languages were taught for just
01:01:452 hours a week.
01:02:17our community, the USSR, no one particularly
01:02:21traveled anywhere, did not strive abroad, but
01:02:24then in my time this iron curtain slowly
01:02:28began to crumble, England. we tried, we
01:02:32studied, today there are no more elite language special schools,
01:02:35if you want to study a language in depth, welcome to a private
01:02:39paid school. However, other experts do not see
01:02:43a tragedy in this, because it is the 21st century. Just recently, to translate
01:02:46a foreign text, you had to cram English for hours. Now
01:02:50it's enough to point the camera, and the neural network will translate everything in
01:02:54real time, and it will also write a letter, explain
01:02:57slang, and even say everything for you. Neither teachers,
01:03:01nor children, nor parents clearly understand why
01:03:04English is needed, well, it seems to be needed for general education, well,
01:03:08how so, and if you ask specifically, what is the specific goal, no one will know
01:04:30question, four answer options: yes, this is a sign of an educated
01:04:34person, rather yes, we need to develop tourism and
01:04:37business ties, third, rather no, in life
01:04:40it is rarely useful,
01:04:43useful, also some clumsy word, and fourth,
01:04:47no, we don't need culture, the language
01:05:00why a foreign language is important,
01:05:03why it is important, I don't know, for
01:05:06me, there are so many reasons why it's not
01:05:08important, well, for example, I'm flying to Bashkiria, my
01:05:12constituency,
01:05:14I buy a ticket, for example, from Sheremetyevo and not a single word
01:05:18in Russian, not a single one, what are
01:05:21you, guys, where do we live, in English, what,
01:05:24exactly, everything there is exactly like that, they announce
01:05:27on the plane, in Russian and...
01:05:30English, it feels like we're flying to London, you know, not to
01:05:33Bashkiria, why can't they announce in Bashkir in the end,
01:05:47Voronezh, the same thing in English, is there a
01:05:51Voronezh language or something for you, no, what does that have to do with the Voronezh language,
01:05:54why would I need it there, are there a lot of Englishmen sitting there, I don't know, maybe
01:05:58it's actually.
01:06:09so to speak, a law about signs that should be
01:06:13in Russian there, now, otherwise you walk along Tverskaya and there was not a single word
01:07:39we are now talking about languages, these are normal sciences, naturally. and
01:07:42this is a question of this creeping submission to the West, where
01:07:46they instill in you such soft power, like here, look,
01:09:16a flight to Bashkiria, well, there's one
01:09:19problem, English is not only spoken by
01:09:23Englishmen, and it's not made for Englishmen, for example, I can well
01:09:26imagine that an Indian businessman was on
01:09:29that plane, to negotiate oil supplies with the
01:09:33Bashkir company Bashneft, this is for him, this is for some
01:09:36from Arab countries, and the Chinese also conduct very important
01:09:40negotiations with us.
01:11:12who studied to be a welder, a welder will not deal with such
01:11:16contracts, preparation, these are people who
01:11:19will still learn, I mean, you don't have to
01:11:22do it, it's just with such a logic, a welder doesn't
01:11:25need chemistry or biology, again I repeat, Andrey Vladimirovich, this is
01:12:12and signs in a language he doesn't understand, it's like we walk around
01:12:16Tbilisi or Yerevan, and there are restaurant
01:12:19names written in their alphabet, we wanted to go to
01:13:03just in foreign languages, in English, such a quantity, because again, it was necessary to
01:13:06get foreign currency loans, it was necessary to appease the council, but it
01:13:10was really a political opportunism, the question is different, did it
01:13:13help us much, well, someone can answer, did it
01:13:28general level of cultural development, does it not
01:13:31bother you, as a Russian citizen, that our
01:13:35compatriots, when they go abroad to friendly
01:13:39countries, like Thailand, they can't
01:13:41say anything, they just can't,
01:14:25Chinese relations, it does not prevail today, it is not
01:14:28decisive, and moreover, this is a global trend, because
01:14:31today all world civilizations, if they still remained within their framework, they are
01:14:35afraid of this globalization, which today breaks down frameworks, and
01:14:39specific globalization, with Indians, our number
01:14:42two partner, you know, we will find a common language with Indians, it works
01:15:55what's interesting is that native speakers, i.e. people who live in countries where English is
01:15:58the official language, are only about 390 million, less than
01:16:011/3, which means that English is the language we
01:16:05can use to talk to Latin America, Southeast Asia, with
01:16:08a huge number of trade partners, as we just discussed, another
01:16:12interesting picture, if you look at the number of, for example, scientific
01:16:14publications, then in English there are scientific publications in the world,
01:16:18there are some differences by industry, in some industries, for example, natural sciences,
01:16:22the same engineering and so on and so forth and
01:17:25says, we are talking about reducing the base, well, but if we talk about the political side, then
01:17:28the political side is very simple, all talks about it being the language of the enemy, that this
01:17:32should not be, it's one hundred percent the same talks that were in Ukraine, for example, in
01:17:36eighteen, nineteen, when they talked about banning the Russian language, there should be
01:17:39Ukrainian, it's one hundred percent a copy, maybe they are
01:17:43doing it with good intentions, but they are no different, what this leads to we already
01:17:46see,
01:17:50you don't understand anything, it's completely different, Ukraine and
01:17:54Russia. need to
01:18:53eliminate the problem, everything will be
01:23:33becomes clear. We continue to ask a very simple
01:23:37question today, but in our own language: does a Russian
01:23:40person need to learn English? We offer you four
01:23:43answer options. Yes, this is a sign of an educated
01:23:47person. Rather, yes, we need to develop tourism.
01:24:20Igor has been retired for a long time, but cannot imagine his life without
01:24:24the English
01:24:25language,
01:24:30television, some reviews, articles, communication
01:24:33with young people, just communication, moreover, communication with his daughter,
01:24:37who moved to the United States quite a long time ago, I don't know if he speaks
01:24:41English with his daughter or with his grandchildren already in English, nevertheless, many reproach you, Andrey
01:24:44Vladim, in our comments,
01:24:48that French was taught in many schools, and you just don't know, if
01:24:52you don't know, it's not a fact that it wasn't there, in principle, yes, French was more
01:24:56widespread than German, in schools there was more German than
01:24:59French, when I studied it was like that, so what about me, we are of the same
01:25:03age, let the old-timers continue to argue, and we
01:25:06will continue with the comments, yes Elena writes,
01:25:10a foreign language should be learned by choice, but Elena's grandson
01:25:13finds the language difficult, and his mother does
01:25:16his English for him, well, I found geometry difficult. and
01:25:20physics was even harder for me.
01:25:23Lyolya, learn Chinese, the hegemon
01:25:26has changed. That's how it is. Igor, all
01:25:30science, all scientific articles, technical literature, all of it is in
01:25:33English. Sergey believes that if you are not a sailor
01:25:37or a programmer, you don't need English. And I also
01:25:41had a good comment from Larisa. Larisa
01:25:44writes to us from Surgut, she claims that there are two
01:25:48in the medical college.
01:26:20how will these friendly people navigate, for example, in
01:26:23the subway or in transport, because there was English there anyway,
01:26:27and now there is less
01:26:29of it,
01:26:32we got used to English signs, pointers and audio announcements after the 2018
01:26:35World Cup, but
01:26:39a few years ago they suddenly started quietly disappearing, Moscow was the first sign,
01:26:43Latin script was erased from transport schemes in the subway, and the cheerful
01:26:47English voice was turned off, they explained. then it was about caring for
01:26:51passengers, extra letters overload and interfere, yes, against
01:26:54the background of sanctions, English was moved to the category of an unfriendly
01:26:58language, well, it will be much clearer, for a Russian person,
01:27:02what is written to me, sometimes I just look and think, damn, I don't
01:27:06understand, to be honest, even now, such a trend has begun, that we are moving more towards a
01:27:09traditional,
01:27:13Russian approach and signs are starting to be in Russian, all this
01:27:16Americanization has already gotten so annoying, however... this
01:27:20medal quickly revealed its reverse side. In the capital,
01:27:23tourists from India, Iran and the Emirates found it more difficult
01:27:26to figure out where to go now? And the Moscow
01:27:29subway became more like a labyrinth for them, because it's difficult for
01:27:33a foreigner to understand without outside help which of
01:27:37the five Cyrillic arrows leads to the exit, and which to a transfer.
01:27:41Guests stand frozen in the subway, letter by letter comparing inscriptions with
01:27:44a picture on their phone to get to the hypothetical Park Kultury. In
01:27:48large airports or at... Although
01:28:03I already used the subway last year, you can still
01:28:06get lost, as usual, the most important thing is to know
01:28:09the language, if you can speak Russian, it's much
01:28:13easier for you, you can ask for directions from people, they will tell you the
01:28:17direction, the main thing is to know at least a little Russian
01:28:20and be able to read inscriptions, so we are still going in
01:28:24circles. Even St. Petersburg, which always
01:28:26prided itself on being the European facade, is quietly changing
01:28:29its priorities. In the subway, Latin script is still preserved. but in ground
01:28:33transport, on street signs it has been removed. In tourist
01:28:36Krasnodar, Yaroslavl or Pskov, it was legally
01:28:40mandated to translate all facade signs to the native language, otherwise a fine.
01:28:44Kazan is not far behind, once developing multilingualism. There,
01:28:47after the Universiade and the BRICS summit, signs were duplicated
01:28:51in three languages: Russian, English and Tatar.
01:28:54Now English has been removed. And for a guest from Delhi or Istanbul,
01:28:58the inscription "Bowman u Ramyna Chigu", that is, exit. The city
01:29:41environment repels
01:29:44not only Americans, but also much more friendly Indians, the same
01:29:48story with guests from the Emirates, Saudi Arabia
01:29:51or Qatar, the most desirable clients of expensive hotels
01:29:54in Moscow and St. Petersburg. I
01:29:57left the dormitory, went to the subway, I didn't know
01:30:01where exactly I wanted to go.
01:30:25We need to talk to them somehow, maybe help someone in the subway, well, some knowledge of English
01:30:29is necessary, well, to begin with.
01:31:32Be it known to you that the enemy's language, like the German
01:31:36language in the Great Patriotic War,
01:31:39was a surprise for Hitler's Blitzkrieg
01:31:43planners, because at least
01:31:4620-25%
01:31:49of the Red Army's personnel spoke German.
01:31:52When I was making a film about Vladimir Abramovich Etush, he told me that
01:31:56first he crawled with a Maxim machine gun, and then, as
01:31:59a graduate of a regular Moscow school, he was taken into military intelligence.
01:32:03He took prisoners, interrogated them, Roman Vladimirovich, well,
01:32:06understand, we don't have a war with Germany now,
01:32:09military actions are simply
01:32:11hostile,
01:32:15well, English, because well, pragmatic
01:32:18here, it's about something else, it's about
01:32:21something else, you have a special school, as I understand it, right?
01:32:24Yes, then you built your career, including
01:32:27a creative one, using the
01:32:30knowledge you had.
01:33:02the system is formed on
01:33:05the basis of heard linguistic
01:33:07categories, so up to 3 years, in any
01:33:11case, it develops our neural network, what we
01:33:14hear, bilinguals, people who speak two
01:33:18languages, they are, relatively speaking, smarter, they
01:33:22have a more complex worldview, they are more adaptable,
01:33:25pay attention, Mayakovsky himself, he is bilingual,
01:33:29he knew Georgian perfectly, Pushkin began to learn English.
01:33:32incredibly, terribly he spoke it, but
01:33:36in order to study in the original, and not from a French translation,
01:33:39Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales, it
01:33:43develops the neural network. Knowledge
01:33:45dead weight, it developed our brains, the ability of physics, chemistry and other
01:33:47subjects unnecessary for our future lives, including
01:33:50welders, in the Soviet model, was not for the purpose
01:33:54of these knowledge accumulating as
01:34:00to adapt to life, now in conditions of total
01:34:03uncertainty, this is very difficult, and as for the enemy's
01:34:07language, I will still react to this, colleagues,
01:34:10in Soviet times, in the ninth grade, in German lessons... I quoted
01:34:14what
01:34:17I heard on the enemy's voice, Deutsche Welle. They
01:34:20dragged me to the principal. Question: how could you, a Soviet
01:34:24Komsomol schoolboy, listen to enemy voices? I said: of course,
01:34:27I listen. Why? Because I need to know
01:34:30what our enemies think of us, and Hazenko again got out of it. As a result, this
01:34:34predetermined my military career in German. The promise was,
01:34:38of course, and moreover, I was on an exchange in Cologne
01:34:42at Deutsche Welle, the international broadcaster.
01:35:45and knows it at almost native speaker level, I am watching a very interesting analysis, the native speaker
01:35:48sat and said how cool Putin still speaks German, because he
01:35:52probably continues to interrupt, dear friends,
01:35:55let's learn a foreign or Russian language,
01:35:58what
01:36:13Sber.
01:36:45on Avito, on Avito came
01:36:48Hvatamba. There are many real
01:36:51discounts, everyone gets enough
01:36:53goods, top goods, the price is right, a good story
01:36:57came out, grab headphones and a down jacket on Hvatamba for 99
01:37:01rubles. Joint stiffness is like an iron
01:37:05captivity. Bioactive aid Bebena Hondra
01:37:08acts on the cause of osteoarthritis and promotes
01:37:11joint recovery. Emben preparation, joint health.
01:37:45becomes more, not always keeping up with demand, with
01:37:48support, development does not stop, we are expanding
01:37:51further, support measures, benefits for those whose business is taste, benefit,
01:37:55national projects of Russia,
01:37:57flights are without me, Garant Capital from Sber,
01:38:01I want my life to be insured and my income to continue to

01:40:29This is the meeting place on NTV, a place where everything becomes clear. Should a Russian
01:40:33person learn English, we ask
01:40:36you. Answer the question, please, comment, and
01:40:39in the meantime, let's take a short trip to
01:40:42countries where many
01:40:46people live, and these countries are quite popular in
01:40:50terms of tourism, but your
01:40:54knowledge of English will probably not help
01:40:58you much. What, no, not like that, let's
01:41:02watch the story, let's go, the story, come on, give the story to Ivan
01:41:05Sergeevich. Japan is a technological
01:41:09power, but in the world ranking of English proficiency, it's falling to
01:41:12the very bottom. Although Japanese diligently learn the language in school,
01:41:16the peculiarities of national phonetics deprive them of the gift
01:41:19of speech when meeting foreigners. As a result, Western
01:41:22specialists don't go there, working in an environment where everything is in
01:41:25hieroglyphs, and colleagues are silent. There are few takers, a tourist
01:41:29route outside central Tokyo turns into a quest, explain with
01:41:33gestures or turn on Google Translate. As a result,
01:41:36the country mentally remains the same closed island.
01:41:40Even very educated Japanese may
01:41:43practically not speak English. If you study
01:41:46in Japan, almost all necessary information can be
01:41:50found in Japanese. In a bookstore, almost all books
01:41:52will also be in
01:41:55Japanese. Turkey. Despite the ambitions of a regional leader
01:41:59and a huge population, it also cannot boast mass
01:42:02language proficiency. Outside resort areas, English
01:42:06becomes an exotic language. A similar situation exists in Brazil,
01:42:09the largest economy in South America. Portuguese remains
01:42:13the main language of everyday life, only 5% of the population
01:42:16speaks English. Both have large domestic markets,
01:42:20music, and cinema that allow people to live, study, and work almost without leaving
01:42:24their linguistic space. Here
01:42:27there is practically no acute everyday need for the English
01:42:30language. Brazil has a rich own culture.
01:42:34Music, cinema, television. Most people simply do not need
01:42:37foreign media. A person can live their whole life almost
01:42:41never hearing people speak English naturally.
01:42:44In China, things are, to put it mildly, not
01:42:48very good with English. In the world ranking, the PRC holds its position in the group of countries
01:42:51with a low level, letting almost all of Asia from
01:42:54Malaysia to Vietnam pass ahead. An average Chinese
01:42:58person may never encounter the need to say a single word
01:43:01in English. In the business districts of Shanghai and
01:43:04Beijing, you will certainly meet fluent
01:43:07speakers, but if you step aside and try to talk to
01:43:10a shopkeeper, it's unlikely to work out.
01:43:14China's economy is not built around foreigners, it is oriented towards
01:43:17China itself and Chinese consumers. So why should an ordinary
01:43:21taxi driver or a hotel manager spend years
01:43:24perfecting English, if this language is practically
01:43:27never needed? It would seem logical that the second economy
01:43:31of the world should impose its language, just as
01:43:34the USA promoted English, but if
01:43:37they aggressively give their language to the world for free through
01:43:40applications, YouTube, videos and international grants, then China
01:43:44went its own way, its Confucius Institutes
01:43:48are quite closed, Beijing
01:43:51does not create understandable digital platforms for
01:43:54beginners, cultural export is equal to a statistical error,
01:43:58and local cinema is understood only by the Chinese themselves, if you want
01:44:02to speak Chinese, be kind enough to pay huge money to
01:44:04tutors, surround yourself with books and spend at least
01:44:085 years on it, as a logisticians, buyers and
01:44:18the countries mentioned in the story, only in China it was impossible
01:44:21to communicate in English, absolutely no way, well, maybe you were in other
01:44:25countries in, well, in some such
01:44:27civilizational centers where there is tourism, in civilizational
01:44:31centers, and what is it like if you go off the street, well, mainly capitals,
01:44:35yes, well, if you go off the main avenue somewhere to the side, it's not a fact that
01:44:38there, Alexander Nikolaevich, honestly speaking, your position is a surprise
01:44:42to me today, because I thought that you would be
01:44:46for - learning foreign languages in large
01:44:49volumes, and you are kind of against it, and I am kind
01:44:52of against it, so, as an
01:44:55introduction, one question, for the connoisseurs, as they say:
01:44:58how many hours a week did
01:45:27Spain and practically no one speaks English
01:45:31in Germany except Berlin, proven by personal
01:45:35experience, in Berlin it's easier to find
01:45:38a Russian speaker than...
01:47:40people don't need this in their lives, well, they don't need it,
01:47:43simply physically,
01:47:46and for general development, there is a huge layer
01:47:49of English usage, related to
01:47:53computer technologies, aha,
01:47:57even with knowledge of English,
01:47:59it's not very
01:48:01clear what they're saying to me,
01:57:16On NTV's Meeting Place, now I will carefully
01:57:20connect my unused mathematical
01:57:23knowledge. So, should a Russian person learn English?
01:57:27Look what we got. 36% rather
01:57:29yes, need to develop tourism, business ties, this is the
01:57:32winning option, to which it
01:57:36caught up, added 1%, yes, this is a
01:57:39sign of an educated person, the last
01:57:43option categorically no, about the enemy, it lost
01:57:461% during the discussion, that is, those who are for
01:57:50learning, they won more and more, I will start with a comment from
01:57:54Fedor, Fedor is a participant of the SVO, and he writes to us that
01:57:58he served in a battalion where there were volunteers from different
01:58:02countries, and he writes, of course, English is needed, because otherwise
01:58:43she studied English 2 hours a week, studied
01:58:46fruitlessly, this was still Soviet times, then she started
01:58:50working in a computing center, where all commands
01:58:53everything, everything, everything was in English, and despite the fact that she
01:58:56didn't know it, Zhanna became
01:59:05I would like to, writes our viewer, not wrote down the name, I
01:59:08would really like both myself and
01:59:11my daughter to know English, Arabic and Chinese,
01:59:15but so far only English is working out, because to learn the other languages
01:59:19you need to spend some money. We also
01:59:22have Irina, from Surgut, by the way, I think
01:59:25it's not in the Moscow time zone, if I remember correctly, yes, so they
01:59:29watch us online, that's great, Surgut, Irina writes to
01:59:32us that the announcement
01:59:35in English at the station is twice
01:59:37as long as in Russian. I wonder why
01:59:41specifically in Surgut English,
02:00:08Russians are backward will regret it, we were not talking about Russians, but
02:00:12specific
02:00:12deputies,
02:00:16don't take everything, don't take it personally.
02:00:52They disrupted logistics, stopped a dry cargo ship with military equipment,
02:00:55the results of the Russian army's night work on the enemy's rear and...
