She seems very ignorant of Geopolitical Matters.
She has no idea .
Motivated by money? These guys are not businessmen as such but apparatchiks who stole state assets because they had the power and the guns.
Have you tried to watch this on Netflix? I don’t understand how we can live in a free country and not be allowed to watch this??
and she enjoyed this stolen money for years
She's an expert on Putin's psychology because she was in the same room with him a couple of times? Please
She never claimed to be an expert. She merely gave her personal opinion.
You would feel the same if you can see Russian from your back yard 😂😅
Her partner of many years and the father of her three children was in daily contact with Putin, they went on holiday together and he was one of Putin's key advisors as well as a senator. She was extremely close to the world of Putin.
@@katealison6087 thats cool, shes probably just made that Putin pumped her and dumped her then
A woman married and ha e three children with Putans banker, and at that time, she didnt see what they were liked? Only now she seems to have the picture very clear? Maybe because the husband is without money now
I like Alexandra Tolstoy she's very smart and beautiful women .She went through a lot in her life,She deserves happiness and stability.
You need an eye examination
@@alanair7019 Are you OK?
And she wants her children safe, Her ex husband is not safe either, living in France, and she' wants the kids to be away from him while he's hunted by Cremlin. Is that hard to understand ?
I agree - she's the epitomy of resilience and strength. As a fellow single parent I appreciate how challenging it was for her to support and raise her three children all by herself. They have been to hell and back. Kidnap attempts, house raids and then thrown out of their home with two week's notice. She's kept it together amazingly well and she's a huge inspiration to mothers everywhere.
Isn't it amazing how the pandemic has being forgotten..
Just like that the Corona vanished ain’t it? Ironic
Way to try and deflect the topic at hand which is Putin is a malignant narcissist who started an horrendous war in the Ukraine.
What Covid a total scam, lol
Guess again. It's BA-ACK!
Her class and aura is very ‘Diana ish’ ✨
Aristocratic
Except sometimes she mumbles a bit where it's hard to understand what she is saying .
No. Let's go back to some major event- say my " Katyusha's " and William's marriage. Where were the Tolstoys? Were they even invited to the wedding? I mean- Sasha's an aristocrat, by logic alone she should be in " their " inner circle. Yet they're not. So all of her " Putin is not part of our world " is just some more delusional bla bla bla.
Totally agree with you😎
Leo Tolstoy would be ashamed of her.
She has no connection to him. She knows that her grandfather wasn't a cousin to Leo Tolstoy and didn't correct the presenter
@@elenayarishkina5107 She is an ancestor of Leo Tolstoy - they are distant cousins and share an ancestor from the 18th century. The Tolstoy family still gather at his residence for annual get togethers - her father is the head of the Tolstoy family.
If you look at a map of the US bases around the world and compare it to the map of Russian bases...I think he might be right to be concerned, or paranoid or whatever word you want to use.
Of course I don't agree with his method but that's another issue. There is no doubt Russia is surrounded and that the West had been meddling in Ukraine.
What is this woman saying? She must have had a memory loss over the last 120 years of history. The Russian people suffered over 75 years from a terrorist regime that ended up killing over 20 million. Even Winston Churchill admitted to the Bolshevik terror campaign in 1920. No Ms. Tolstoy, Russians have suffered from the economic, psychological and spiritual terror campaign of an evil ideology (communism) that was cooked up in the very country you are living in today. The "Russian" oligarchs that took up residence in the city of London are the perfect examples of the economic pillaging of the country.
The Bolshevik terror did not start in 1920- it started in 1918.
@@tatianalyulkin410 Not disputing that fact. Simply stating that Churchill wrote of it in 1920.
I thought she was saying that the suffering under Putin isn’t new. It’s an extension of the Bolsheviks. But it doesn’t compare now to what Ukrainian people are suffering now because of Putin. Maybe I misunderstood.
This woman was married to a thief, who escaped Russian courts and then English courts. She hardly lived in Russia and doesn't not understand Russian people. In fact, she came to Russia begging Russian people to understand her and in fact help her with money. She did not find much sympathy. Advice to her, try not to give an opinion on what you are not familiar with not to confuse people. Try going to Donbass yourself and then speak about it. Countess? Am I a bot? Am I paid to criticise you? No. Russian people are not stupid and can see through you.
She's obviously using her big Tolstoy name to appear on shows in Russia or UK, but what she says is all UK mainstream media.
She forgot to say about billions of weapons UK is supplying , which are not really directed at Putin and oligarchs but at Ukraine people
I don't quite get if she's delusional or scared to death or a little bit of both. But Uncle Kolya ended up selling his soul as well. So it is what it is.
@@tatianalyulkin410 of course she's scared to say something that disagrees with UK mainstream media, as she's already had her UK bank accounts frozen as a member of russian oligarch family lol)
What a funny, inaccurate comment. She has dual citizenship - Russia and the UK. She wasn't married to Sergei Pugachev they were in a relationships and had three children together. She's also spent years living in Moscow; her father is one of the world's leading Russian historians and most of her friends still live in Russia. Your comment doesn't really add up.
Strange how the oligarchs controling the WEF, big pharma and big tech never get a mention! They are the ones we should be seriously concerned about!!!!
That are our made men, dons and godfathers - which should be ousted.
......and what does Klaus Schwab's world look like?
Russian bot. Topic of the video has nothing to do with Klaus Schwab. Actually it has nothing to do with anything except Putin. Putin is narcissistic and evil and comparing him to Klaus Schwab or whatever (or anything else in the world for that matter, even Hitler) won't make him any less narcissistic or evil. It's that simple. But russian bots were never famous for being smart. All they do is follow primitive stupid script. And no, I'm not talking about the paper.
And what does that say about you, being in that circle of people? 🙄
She was in an abusive relationship - physical and mental abuse. Those kind of relationships are formed through trauma bonds.
I had the pleasure of meeting Alexandra at the Gallery where I worked in London. Delightful, wonderful Lady.
She's got some fascinating insight.
If she have had any russian culture in her veins she would not badmouth Rodina .
Not when that "rodina" is an authoritarian regime.
I saw the documentary last night, and I don’t understand how her husband could let her go. Especially turning completely on her and murder the character of the mother of his children. What he does to her he also does to their children. He must be as cold as Putin, and probably all these oligarchs are along with all the people in their entourage. Alexandra is a strong and smart woman.
He beat her so she left?
@@arnicepernice8656 I don't think he beat her but when she and the children went to visit him in southern France he took her passport and tried to prevent her from going back to England to keep them there in France against her will .
@@arnicepernice8656 No, you better re-watch the video.
@@gardensofthegods he physically attacked her. He also had her handcuffed and sedated when she tried to get help from local police.
@@katealison6087 oh I don't know when I saw this but I don't know if that was mentioned in here or not but I believe you
Her entry on Wikipedia describes her as "British equine adventurer, broadcaster, socialite, and businesswoman."
What is an equine adventurer? She has adventures with horses?
It should just read "married to Russian Billionaire Oligarch"
@@tz-mk1dg I read her complete biography and actually she is the mistress. That oligarch was already married and hadn't even divorced his wife before Countess Tolstoy here shacked up with him. Not quite lady-like behavior, in my opinion.
@@2hot2handle65 For Christ's sake! The interview is about the devastating consequences of Putz Putin's war in Ukraine and the long term fall out for Russia...not to mention the rest of the planet, and your primary concern is her character! 🙄
@@judith3218 She's talking about Putin's character. I like my dictator denouncers to be somewhat clean themselves.
@@2hot2handle65 Oh, I see. So , in your world, the bad deeds of a mistress is comparable to the bad deeds of a mass murderer. Got it.
How did we look with mass graves in Iraq
The hosts are almost wetting themselves with glee at this war and this guest.
Eamon is on a list of medications as long as its own Leg 😆
They were not married. It was her partner
I wonder if she got her bank account back after agreeing to do this?
No. Because it has nothing to do with her as a person and everything with her being Nikolaj Tolstoj's daughter.
Veeeery superficial discussion .
NOT really. They only had 10 minutes. I guess you should watch the program to learn more about these sociopathic oligarchs.
Oh, you mean like my dearest Barack who's being accused of killing his own sous chef? And the answer is no- he had nothing to do with his unfortunate drowning. All I'm trying to say is - with his pedigree and his " connections " Barack is hardly the right person to decide who's accepted into the Blake Association and who's not.
Her mum is English and her dad is too. She's English even though she tries to be Russian.
Her dad is poly Russian. She's an ancestor of Russian writer Leo Tolstoy.
Imagine a much younger Helen Mirren but with more fluent Russian...
Good that Eamon back on the box, top of his game, and always a twinkle in his eye when talkin to wokes without losing his job
Eamon, stop talking about yourself.
Far from being a professional he didn't even do the necessary research
Are you scared? No, I'm British. Love that.
At last, someone points out that Putin is ego-driven and motivated to a large degree by his feeling of having been slighted. Hence his five minute walks down the red carpet, the golden trappings, the gangster/KGB swagger.
@Melody Melody The crazy thing is that it actually works! He’s very popular in Russia, particularly among women.
@@davethebrahman9870 Hitler was popular with germans too in the early days. He promised glory and greatness... look how that turned out for them. People have to start thinking for themselves and create their own destiny's rather than following these demagogue like lambs to the slaughter. But i doubt it'll ever happen.
We can all agree Putin is paranoid but also thin skinned, he is offended by the British version of his alter ego - a Russion dictator in Octopussy.
Speaking up is what's trending these days. She has enjoyed the wealth, power, and prestige for many years being married to A Russian Oligarch (putins banker). Now she speaks ?? Please.
@@tz-mk1dg agreed... they're all POS.
What an interesting insight in to Putin's world. I saw the Netflix documentary with her and when I saw her on here I was very interested to see what she's say. Was not dissapointed at all.
send link))
Yeah,but how can a noone like her know anything about politics😅
If Volodya is such a cold heartless monster why is he protecting my brother and Edward Snowden?
These demonizing conversations do absolutly nothing to help stop the killing and destruction of the war mongers at this point. Please give peace a chance, we need to dialogue and keep having conversations to bring the killing to stop.
Peace can be found, continued hate will not. Peace. 🌸🌻✨💐✨🌻🌸
Pointless conversation and propaganda. Who do you trust? Who do you believe?
I'm sorry but instead of all of this pointless meaningless silly rubbish you could've just said "I'm too afraid of reality, I'm too afraid to accept the fact that evil exists, so I'm just gonna act like a mental patient, be hypocritical and help nobody and let go evil of all responsibility for all of the horrific things it has done and by doing so encourage and emotionally manipulate others to do it too".
I love Volodya and my brothers. Trust? Not a single soul. Never again.
Thanks Alexandra for speaking up and informing us if whats going on in Russia and what Russians are thinking .
Thank you for your work. I'm looking to watch the Countess documentary, alas, in the US, Netflix doesn't allow us to watch it, zoning per country. These interviews sure help to hear your perspective. I appreciate your share.
I want to know what’s going on. We live in a free country. It can’t be our government not allowing us to watch this Netflix show.
I just watched a very good documentary about her and the situation with Pugachav ... and how what Putin set in motion contributed to destroying her marriage .
It was a very good documentary I can't think of the name however but it won't be hard to find
The documentary is called : MARRIED TO A HUNTED RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRE .
It's very good and here for free on UA-cam in the
U. S.
It is a shame that this person does not know Russia at all but she continues to tell so many stereotypic things about Russia.
Эта женщина не имеет никакого отношения к России!
If you are going to interview someone interesting it might just be a good idea to do some research to get the best out of her for viewers. The Countess just might recognise something oligarchical about the BBC
By the same realistic standards, the US make George Orwell's 1984 look like a Pippi Longstockings story.
I'm still waiting to wake up from this nightmare. I'm not Sasha- I have no illusions and I don't live in denial. The monsters are real.
Иногда я вижу в политиках только маску и плохое абсолютно всех стран мы просто люди что думают" а может быть в США лучше государство, может там не такие сволочи как у нас" а они живут за счет нас и им открыты всегда и везде двери во все страны, эта женщина говорит дельные вещи, но что это за видео с ней где она только думает как обустроить свой супер-дом? это что"человеческие чувства" или просто волки дерутся за прибыль пока мы умираем??Там, где большиство умнее и защищают себя там и государство лояльнее. Нас же, русских, намеренно делают глупее останавливая в развитии и дают ложную информацию. Даже на работу в Газпром у нас берут тупее, чтоб легче было управлять. Хотя, думаю так везде.
" The Old America can't come to the phone now. Why? Because she's dead. "

👍I agree 100 per cent !!!!!!
Cab e have an expert talking about the USA instigated 2014 Ukrainian coup and the Victoria Nuland phone call that went viral and exposed the USA red handed.
Can we have some focus on how many US military sites had been building up on the Russian periitor for years. Would the US like North Korea stationed in Mexico....would they feel threatened by that?
Who gives a shit? Russia lost the cold war, there are consequences.
It sucks to be a loser, a fact I'm sure you are well aware of.
Can we have a russian bot that can spell?
@@mondozappa1725 Wasn't Ms Tolstoy just speaking of the bots?
Of course we can. But I'm not a bot- I am General Victoria Bondarenko Tsareva of the Donbass Rebel Alliance. Antifa and AntiMajdan since 2014.
Another day , another analogy 😂😂😂😂
Change the record GB news.... its just one so called expert after another...this isn't really news is it?.....

@@mondozappa1725 Why is everyone who disagrees with you a bot ? Really childish response
" They're not a part of our world..." Sasha, wake up and smell the coffee. We're not part of the Blake Association. You- because of your father and yours truly because of her Oleg Tsarev, Pavel Gubarev and Vanya Prikhod'ko. End of story my dearest. You know as well as I do that as soon as a " Tolstoj " or a " Tsarev " challenges them it's over for the entire clan. Wanna know the real reason Yanukovich ran? Because " they " were coming for his 4 year old grandson!
Awwhh if she doesnt like Putin, clearly she wouldnt like his money would she? When is she going to return it all then?
When Ukraine is ready to return Crimea. 🤣
@@tatianalyulkin410 🙄
Am I the only one who's not sure whether she's confessing or she's bragging? 🤣
This channel is going from bad to worse. I can see right through you...
If you do some research on the internet you will find that Alexandria Tolstoy & Sergei Pugachev were partners and have three children together. They did not marry, but were together for about 8-10 years.
It's not debate ? We don't need to be told repeatedly that these people are nasty selfish highly dangerous irrational creatures ?But we are deferential, & comply with the system that creates them ? Humanity has to suffer these megalomaniac power 'fits' throughout history ?
The UK had one with PM Blair and the US with President Cheney and his VP Bush. We slaughtered a million people for oil.
Putin is small fry by comparison. Yes he is odious and evil - but fractionally compared to us.

I was looking for it as well but could not find it either. I`m from Sweden.
Same, Australia
Interestingly they weren't that much worried about humanity and peace when the West destroyed country after country in the Near East and elsewhere. Hypocrisy is the word
This lady has told us everything needed to understand the problem.
The West needs to be more like Putin
In the end of times Russia is still there but the west as we know it is not
What a sad picture..Alexandra is living in the shadow of her great but verrry distant relative..as a personality is a shallow,poorly educated gold digger,who achievdd nothing in life😄and suddenly having something to say about serious matters😅
The spirit of Russians is very particular. They do like to own western goods, but they do not really know what 'Western' means. They did not experienced knightly courting to women, did not have Renaissance, did not experienced capitalism neither democracy, even if full of flaws
good observation
The Russians did not burn witches like the Europeans. They did not kill 30 million aborigines in Amerika and Australia. The did not exploit their colonies where most of their goods were and are still produced. They did not create the satanic banking system. The did not not create imperialism and fashism. They did not kill millions of jews. They really had only bad history.

Australia 🇦🇺 shi ts all over not so Great Britain.
Everybody lives everywhere these days, and in fact always has _nothing special about the UK with that; and namely as there are plenty of British people running away from the UK themselves, since first the credit crunch and then Brexit. You should perhaps travel more, and perhaps beyond that yearly drunk week in Ibiza or Benidorm, where all you find is other insular, untraveled Brits with deluded ideas of post Empire national greatness. Also Alexandra is only a quarter Russian (her own father is half Russian) and her mother is English. So she’s hardly anything even close to a foreigner, she’s an English woman, with quarter Russian ancestry. How does her ancestry make her anything even close to a foreigner!? Are you a foreigner because you have Roman or Viking ancestry!? People just love to talk stupid! And specially stupid egotistical rubbish. Alexandra is more of a Russian at heart and soul (which I can totally understand) than she will ever be in ancestry. She’s an English woman, which puts your comment in the insular misplaced nonsense category (AKA as the ignorant rubbish bin).
Such a naive point of view. Just think of how this "greatness" was achieved. It's the disgusting part of british history. All it has was robbed from others. Is this what you call greatness?
Lovely intelligent woman who could be a great ambassador for Russia especially with her heritage. Such a shame one of her countries is being ruined by a Saddam Hussein-like dictator. Maybe history will repeat...
I would like to see you clowns try. Go ahead- I'm bored. Amuse me. Try it- see what happens.

All bogoxdd from top to toe😁
Look at the knee-jerk responses,at the bottom of this thread that this interview elicited when first it was aired! What a torrent of nasty, bitchy comments! Having seen now the humanitarian consequences of their support of the regime, will these robots still voice such opinions? Do they still dismiss this prophetic lady, of a courage equivalent to that of her father, whose similar telling of the truth in the face of efforts to silence him has now been vindicated? Will they still diminish her as 'knowing nothing about Russia'?, when the world has now incontrovertibly witnessed the fears which she here articulates brought so horribly to pass? However, my beauty, guard your tongue now. You don't have to say any more: the regime (by which I in a far more modest way and for far less courageous a protest was intimidated) is saying it eloquently enough for you.
The courage of her father is the reason she's being harassed in the first place! I honestly don't think Uncle Kolya even realized he was challenging the Blake Association when he wrote and published " the book ". My father was a monarchist and a rabid Russophile- they can be very sheltered and naive sometimes. But then again- I wasn't prepared for the 2014 coup either. I'm like Sasha- I move between worlds with an incredible ease. And I know White emigres and their descendants. THEY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE BOLSHEVIKS! They would never- unless they were clearly under duress- say something as stupid as " Russia killed my family ". To me ( and I'm sure to the Reb Tolstoys ) it's a huge red flag. No, Russia or Ukraine or America didn't kill anybody. Certain people did. I mean- if I follow Sasha's logic what am I supposed to say? That my family was butchered by...Ukraine???
