00:00:00fund, where people deposited vouchers in exchange for
00:00:03shares. Almost all of them disappeared, leaving
00:00:06nothing. Kashpirovsky is a small
00:00:09fish. Now, the dry accounting
00:00:13of the catastrophe. January 2, 1992.
00:00:17Price liberalization, shock therapy. Within a year,
00:00:20inflation reached approximately 2,600%.
00:00:24Savings accumulated
00:00:27over decades burned up in
00:00:30months. 1993,
00:00:34inflation 840%.
00:00:371994 -
00:00:40214%. By the mid-nineties,
00:00:44salaries were delayed for
00:00:4660% of workers. At some
00:00:50enterprises for up to 6 months. Tires need to be
00:00:53sold. I'm not going to carry tires home.
00:00:57Wheels. But you need to eat, you need to eat.
00:01:00Barter offsets, according to
00:01:03the reformers themselves, withdrew from monetary circulation
00:01:06up to 40-45%
00:01:09of the economy. This is no longer a misfortune, it is the collapse
00:01:12of the state. August 17,
00:01:151998, default.
00:01:18GKO - a pyramid, and these are state
00:01:21treasury bonds,
00:01:25choked, half the banks collapsed.
00:01:28Inflation for the year 84.5%.
00:01:30The default, by the way, completed
00:01:33what the pyramids started, the last
00:01:36deposits burned.
00:01:38A detail that is shameful to recall: the army
00:01:42following victory did not receive monetary
00:01:46allowances for years, officers' wives traded in markets to
00:01:50feed their children, garrisons survived on
00:01:53subsidiary farms and alms from neighboring
00:01:56villages. Shortages,
00:02:32a lack of everyday goods by
00:02:351985. Items of permanent
00:02:38deficit in the USSR for a long time became
00:02:42meat, butter, fish, beer,
00:02:46candy, toothpaste, dishes, furniture, refrigerators,
00:02:49suits, cars, shoes, building materials, toilet
00:02:53paper, and so on everywhere. From February 1989,
00:02:57mass strikes and hunger strikes began.
00:04:30regardless of Moscow, to conclude international
00:04:33treaties, and even to deploy foreign troops on its territory.
00:04:37Mordovia rejected the Russian constitution and
00:04:40went for a complete break in relations with the Kremlin. The map
00:04:44of Russia, like a torn rag.
00:04:47The first millionaires and billionaires, some
00:04:50oligarchs, for whom everything is allowed. The first
00:04:53president of Russia does not appear in public for
00:04:57a long time, and these absences, in Russian
00:05:00sickness, are called "working with
00:05:03documents." Suddenly, in the
00:05:061996 elections, the dancing Yeltsin
00:05:10was strong, and the numbers...
00:05:44the scourge of abortions. In 1995,
00:05:47for example, only 2,766 registered abortions
00:05:50for state statistics were performed.
00:05:53The number of children born
00:05:56in 1995 was half that
00:06:00- 1,363.
00:06:03But then came freedom, borders opened,
00:06:07and brains moved west, and to the east
00:06:10went shuttle traders.
00:06:42the most correct and almost the only way to
00:06:46overcome the devastation was to find oneself in
00:06:49a completely different, non-Soviet life, where
00:06:53there was no cursed deficit, where you were
00:06:56respected, where there was democracy, and therefore
00:06:59freedom. For the sake of completeness, a couple
00:07:02of coups: August 1991,
00:07:06the self-proclaimed State Committee for the State of Emergency
00:07:09(GKChP), which, in addition to the speaker of the Soviet
00:07:12parliament, also included the heads of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and
00:07:16the KGB. The GKChP brought tanks
00:07:19into Moscow, and the President of the USSR,
00:07:22who was on vacation in Crimea, was placed under
00:07:26house arrest, with his communications
00:07:34the USSR, but at the same time, there was no real plan,
00:07:37and the people followed the recently
00:07:40elected President of Russia, Yeltsin, for whom
00:07:44the Soviet Union represented no
00:07:48value. The GKChP dissolved in a couple
00:07:51of days. In the street clashes, three
00:07:54people died. Anatoly Kashpirovsky, meanwhile, traveled
00:07:57around the country and gave the masses hypnotic
00:08:00commands. Only
00:08:04your presence
00:08:07is required.
00:08:12there was no harmony. There was no time
00:08:15or place for anyone in power to learn the laws
00:08:18of democracy and the laws of the market, and they were already
00:08:22at the helm. The abscess burst in October
00:08:261993, when the President of Russia, the Russian
00:08:29parliament, the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, declared
00:08:33each other outlawed. Our parliament,
00:08:35headed by Ruslan Khasbulatov,
00:08:39met in the current government residence, which
00:08:42the people called the White House, in
00:08:45Moscow. Yeltsin cut the Gordian knot
00:08:49by shelling the White House with
00:08:51tanks.
00:08:57The parliament was shot at point-blank range from the bridge across
00:09:00the Moscow River near the Hotel Ukraine. The White
00:09:04House was stormed by special forces. During the
00:09:07events, officially 158
00:09:10people died. The US was for Yeltsin, he suited
00:09:14them, so at the international level, no one
00:09:17particularly condemned the shooting of the parliament.
00:09:21In general, if we talk about Kashpirovsky's time, about what
00:09:24influenced the psychological state of society,
00:09:28why and what we were like then,
00:09:32then, of course, we cannot overlook the shocking capture
00:09:36of Basayev's terrorists of the hospital in Budyonnovsk, in
00:09:39Stavropol Krai, June.
00:09:43In 1995, 1,200
00:09:46people were held hostage. It must
00:09:49be acknowledged that State Duma deputy Anatoly Kashpirovsky
00:09:53participated in negotiations with the terrorists and spent
00:09:56some time in the captured hospital. We
00:09:59walk, walk, walk, we reach the exit, I think what should I do,
00:10:03I need to stay, I was a deputy, so they probably can't shoot
00:10:07me, but in the end I have fame, that's
00:10:10the second thing, I... guys, I'm staying,
00:10:14it's a big risk.
00:10:17Well, and about us further, the general
00:10:20basic philosophy that was professed in
00:10:23the Kremlin was...
00:10:39We don't need an army, since no one threatens us and
00:10:43there's no one to fight. The police, in general, are also
00:10:46unnecessary, because this is a Soviet repressive apparatus. Now
00:10:49there is democracy and no repressions.
00:10:53Freedom seemed absolute to the
00:10:56point of ugliness. Again, with the help of television,
00:11:00various sorcerers and magicians spread. The loophole here
00:11:03was folk healing, non-traditional
00:11:06medicine. The state even issued
00:11:10licenses for this. In Kashpirovsky's era, a woman
00:11:13of a fatal image, Dzhuna Davitashvili, gained immense
00:11:17popularity. Intrigue was maintained by active
00:11:20rumors that the Georgian healer's services
00:11:24were sought by... General Secretary Leonid
00:11:27Brezhnev, film directors Andrei Tarkovsky and Federico
00:11:30Fellini, actor Robert De Niro, and other
00:11:33celebrities. There was no confirmation of this, however,
00:11:37but in 1997,
00:11:41Dzhuna declared herself queen
00:11:50Longo, presenting himself as a master of white magic,
00:11:54Longo appeared on television all in white with many
00:11:57chains, conducting magical sessions,
00:12:01practicing love spells, bringing people back
00:12:05from the dead.
00:12:07The era of Kashpirovsky would not be complete without
00:12:11a screen star like Grigory Grabovoy, who in
00:12:141991 declared himself
00:12:17a clairvoyant. He engaged in all sorts of activities, from
00:12:21resurrecting children (money first) to distant...
00:13:15Russia is a paradise for
00:13:19sects.
00:13:21So Kashpirovsky operated in such a context, and in such
00:13:25an environment. While we are talking here,
00:13:29Kashpirovsky's body in a lacquered
00:13:32coffin, packed in a plywood box, is moving somewhere
00:13:36through transit countries to Ukraine for
00:13:39burial in his native Vinnytsia, next to
00:13:42his mother. So, that's essentially the technical
00:13:46point of that era, which, fortunately,
00:13:49has long passed.
00:13:52And if we're talking about wonders,
00:13:55the biggest wonder of the late nineties was the appearance in the country
00:13:59of a team that proved capable of systematically
00:14:02overcoming this entire nightmare.
00:14:06We won't mention names; we all know everything anyway,
00:14:09living, fortunately, in a completely
00:14:13different era.
00:14:15With that, we say goodbye until next week. Immediately after
00:14:18us, the program Moscow, Kremlin-Putin,
00:14:22where my colleague Pavel Zarubin, as
00:14:25usual, will tell about big politics
00:14:28more interestingly than others.
00:14:40Again, we will surprise you with new,
00:14:42vivid footage. Great
00:14:46topic.
00:14:49Good evening, a conversation with Donald Trump, presenting awards
00:14:52to educators, two international summits. in
00:14:55Turkmenistan. The President's week was busy,
00:14:58vivid, and widely discussed in the world media. A special resonance
00:15:02was caused by the telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and
00:15:05Donald Trump. For an hour and a half, the leaders discussed
00:15:08Ukraine, Iran, bilateral relations, and supplies
00:15:11of oil and petroleum products to American and world
00:15:14markets. Teacher's Day was a very important and warm meeting at
00:15:18the Kremlin for the President. Vladimir Putin presented
00:15:21state awards to educators who raised
00:15:25our heroes, participants in the SVO. Also this week, the President
00:15:29celebrated his birthday with close family and friends. Among the guests was former German Chancellor Gerhard
00:15:32Schröder, which caused a storm of emotions among some
00:15:35Western politicians.
00:16:37from the USA. A few hours before the leaders' conversation, a special
00:16:41plane took off from Turkmenistan. And the last question, since we've already started,
00:16:45President Trump said that he would like to call Putin, but it seems
00:16:49he didn't. But that doesn't mean he won't. Sometimes,
00:16:53from some statements by Trump, it seemed
00:16:56that they had calls that we didn't know about.
00:17:00Could a call have already taken place that we don't
00:17:03know about? One that you don't know about, maybe it could have?
00:17:08it turned out that our assumptions were correct. On October
00:17:117, the American side, in addition to congratulating Putin on his birthday,
00:17:15initiated new telephone conversations. It's understandable that after
00:17:18returning from the CIS summit, it would be most convenient. Trump
00:17:21postponed some of his previously scheduled
00:17:24events for today, and
00:17:27such a telephone conversation took place. Just a few hours before
00:17:31the conversation, presidential aide Ushakov shows Putin some
00:17:34folder.
00:17:45and a few minutes later, the presidential aide
00:17:47approached
00:17:52his boss again, and soon Ushakov himself
00:17:55told journalists that Putin and Trump were so
00:17:58engrossed in the phone call that it lasted an hour and a half, and
00:18:02Trump, quote, is ready to continue communication
00:18:06with Vladimir Putin today, and in the evening,
00:18:09today, and at night, the next
00:18:12day. Who eventually hung up, if no one wanted to,
00:18:16simultaneously, right simultaneously.
00:18:33The Russian side confirmed its readiness to supply
00:18:37oil and petroleum products to the American and world markets,
00:18:40confident that this will positively affect the entire global
00:18:44economy. The USA lifts sanctions on Russian
00:18:47diesel supplies until at least April, which makes it even more interesting to recall Putin's recent
00:18:51statements at the Valdai Club meeting. Or they
00:18:55tell us: let them stop striking your
00:18:58refineries, and you stop striking their ships, and let
00:19:02them export civilian cargo of agricultural products. But what about
00:19:05our other civilian cargo, such as oil and petroleum products?
00:19:09They will stop the strikes, so there will be
00:19:13more diesel, which is so needed, let's say, in the United States. We
00:19:16will have more, we already have enough diesel, but it will
00:19:20not reach the world market because there are prohibitions, sanctions
00:19:23against our oil and petroleum products, sanctions
00:19:27against insurance, freight prices are rising. How will
00:19:30our diesel reach the world market while sanctions remain?
00:19:34No way. But in Washington, as they say, new opportunities
00:20:37arose, more money, access to infrastructure,
00:20:41a mask to strike deep into Russia. He demands
00:20:44money for air defense, he demands money for long-range
00:20:48weapons, and so on.
00:21:20A few hours before his conversation with Trump, Putin met personally with
00:21:23Iranian President Pezeshkian. Of course, the most
00:21:26acute problem today is the situation in the region. We know that
00:21:30Iran is making real attempts
00:21:32to end the conflict that broke out in the region, not through
00:21:36its fault, not through Iran's fault. He again came up with new proposals for
00:21:40resolving the situation, and by peaceful means. We are ready to do
00:21:43everything in our power to help you in resolving
00:21:46this situation.
00:21:50participated in the negotiations, the USA always attacked us in the middle of negotiations,
00:21:54but we never left the negotiating table. I would like to thank
00:21:57you for your position in the region and at the UN level. Thanks to
00:22:01your help, they failed to impose their unilateral
00:22:05approach on us. European media have been in shock for 3 days, both from the diesel
00:22:08agreements and from this photo,
00:22:11taken on Putin's birthday. The Kremlin reported that
00:22:15the President, seeing the media report about Gerhard
00:22:18Schröder, saw the media report as if he had turned on the TV.
00:22:22I'll tell you honestly, yesterday I met with the President,
00:22:26and he said that he "turned
00:22:29on the TV on his birthday morning, and saw Schröder walking
00:22:33in Moscow in a supermarket." He said, "I
00:22:35didn't understand what was happening at all, but I asked to contact him and invite him,"
00:22:39and in the evening, he was one of the few participants
00:22:42in the celebration of the President's
00:22:45birthday.
00:22:47I was very pleased to come here to convey congratulations on
00:22:51the occasion of the Russian President's birthday. Yes, we are
00:22:54friends, is that
00:22:55bad?
00:23:05As for Schröder, Germany should be proud
00:23:09of people like him. He is a true son of his people,
00:23:12he primarily thinks about the interests of the German people. I assure
00:23:16you, with every decision, always.
00:24:50How do you deal with each other? The President speaks German well, which
00:24:53helps him express his thoughts more clearly and distinctly. For
00:24:57me, Mr. Bunaas, the Chancellor,
00:25:00is the only one of my colleagues, Western
00:25:03politicians, and Eastern ones too, with whom I can truly
00:25:07speak the same language, both literally and figuratively.
00:25:11This, of course, contributes
00:25:14to better mutual understanding,
00:25:17it seems to me, on a universal human level, but...
00:25:50and trust between Russia and Germany certainly reached its peak.
00:25:53It's hard to imagine now, but in the early 2000s, at the Piskaryovskoye
00:25:57Cemetery in St. Petersburg, where the victims of the blockade are buried,
00:26:00the FRG anthem was played.
00:26:09Putin and Schröder, leaders of countries that once fought,
00:26:12together laid flowers. We were indeed together at
00:26:15the Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery, and with us there was a group
00:26:18of veterans, both from Germany and from Russia. We paid
00:26:22tribute and respect
00:26:24to the victims of World War II. This is a very important gesture.
00:26:28After this ceremony, a group of veterans, German and Russian
00:26:31veterans of World War II, together went
00:26:35to the cemetery of German servicemen
00:26:38here near St. Petersburg. I think this is a very good signal
00:26:42given to us by the older generation, who fought
00:26:45each other. At the same time, in the early 2000s, these
00:26:48words were also heard. The FRG Chancellor said that he was ashamed of this
00:26:51past, and I understand that, but that
00:26:55is the past, and today I want
00:26:59to say that many of us should be ashamed of today.
00:27:02We recently saw a disgraceful outburst in the Canadian parliament, where a Nazi was applauded. So I want to say,
00:27:13these spores, the spores of these diseases, unfortunately, are not destroyed.
00:27:20the further away from Schröder, the
00:27:24closer to Enton
00:27:27Roth Clave
00:27:29of the Canadian Parliament.
00:28:03Russian presidential press secretary. Where is the Russian stove?
00:28:06The Russian
00:28:08stove, as it were, is the residence of the President of the Russian Federation.
00:28:12So, in the morning Schröder was in a Russian store, and in the evening he was
00:28:15at Putin's place for his birthday, with a very small
00:28:19circle. Very few people, very few. I want to remind
00:28:22you that on his birthday, Putin had almost a dozen international
00:28:26phone calls. Only in the evening could his family, friends,
00:28:30and loved ones congratulate him on his birthday. But Gerhard Schröder is about
00:28:33to face another wave of indignation, most likely in
00:28:36Europe. Yes, yes, and the President asked
00:28:39him, "How do you feel about this, if
00:28:43it happens, if we make it public?" Because, well,
00:28:47it's quite a story, I don't even know how to characterize it. It's sweet,
00:28:51yes, human. And Schroeder
00:28:55said, "No problem, de Gaulle,"
00:28:58then further, Mitterrand, in modern times.
00:29:03Chirac in Germany, Brandt,
00:29:07Kohl, and Schröder, by the way, I would put
00:29:11in this category. These are people who had their own opinions and
00:29:13the courage to fight for that own
00:29:17opinion, to express it and to talk about it, to try to
00:29:20implement it in practical work. As for
00:29:24NATO, this is a very sensitive issue. And Germany has always
00:29:27maintained that Russia's interests must
00:29:30be taken into account.
00:30:04The opening of the Nord Stream at that time was celebrated with beer,
00:30:06do not delay,
00:30:09oh-oh-oh, and such footage in big politics speaks
00:30:13volumes. The volume of energy that will be supplied to
00:30:16Germany is comparable to
00:30:19the operation of eleven nuclear power plants. We did it and
00:30:22achieved it, despite active opposition. Here sits
00:30:26the former Chancellor of Germany, Mr. Schröder. He
00:30:29knows that during the construction of the first project,
00:30:34it was exactly the same as now. The United States was categorically
00:30:37against it, mobilizing all forces in Europe, and in
00:30:40Germany itself, so that this project would not be implemented. We did it, and now
00:30:44everyone is happy that
00:30:46it works so reliably and stably.
00:30:50Let a German citizen open their wallet and see. Let them answer
00:30:53the question: are they ready to pay three to five times more? If
00:30:57they don't want to do that, let them thank Mr.
00:31:00Schröder, because this is his result.
