I will explain why many people in Ukraine spoke Russian. Russification is the reason. Many Russians in Ukraine hated Ukrainian language and traditions, belittled and discriminated Ukrainian speakers. Therefore many Ukrainians sent their children to Russian speaking schools where hatred towards everything Ukrainians caused their children to be ashamed of their nationality. Many of them tried hard to be Russians. A cousin of mine in Crimea became like that, even told her mother to never speak Ukrainian in Crimea. When my father was visiting her mother, they spoke Ukrainian and her daughter heard it from another room, burst into the living room where they were and yelled at her mother, saying that she didn't want to hear 'that' language ever again. She was the result of Russification...
As an elderly man who lived in Donetsk in the late 70s early 80s (Cuban student) I'm REALLY glad to hear young people like you 2 guys, talking with absolute sense in understanding this world conflict. Excellent interview. Slava Ukraini ❤❤❤
My wife is from Dnipro, can not speak Ukrainian. The city is mainly russian speaking BUT identify with Ukraine. Listening to reports that russia is protecting the russian people in the Donas is pure propaganda.
I’m Swedish. My grandfather was a diplomatic consule of the Estonian Republic. (To the day he died, since there has aleays been an exile Estonian government - even with it’s own gold reserve with the Bank of England!) He also comanded military support transports over the ice beteeen Sweden and Finland, to fight the Russians. (I don’t give a sh*t if they cloaked as ”Soviet” for a while. Thank you for the conversation. And yes, if Ukraine wins (and I have to think it will), there is a small chance that a truly equal federation could replace the Russian federation. Is it likely though?
I'm from India, we have a Crime Minister who was responsible for the slaughter of many Muslims & just a year back in Manipur even Christians and others were targetted. If they get the numbers they want to make India a Hindu Theocracy!!!!!!
If russia allowed republic to separate and was left as a medium-sized state in Europe concentrated around Moscow and Piter - it could be a normal democracy. As a colonial empire striving to keep everything under strict control with force - it will never be normal or successful.
It's the first time I listen to this channel and I am happy that it was not a clickbait, but a REAL discussion! Uriel Epshtein has really good and sober view of the situation. It was also a relief that the discussion was unbiased. Thank you for a better insight of the real problem.
Thank you so much! 💛💙Sadly Democracy needs to live in the minds of the people and those ideas and values just have not been taken up by the people. "We are in a mess and we need a strong man to sort it out." is still the default thought pattern amongst all too many. This is also growing in the West, specially and most disturbingly in the USA.
Moscow sucks resources out of the regions: oil, gas, ore, wheat, gold, oil, and in return throws crumbs from the master's table to the Russian regions, it is enough to just look at the budget of Moscow and its relatively small region, and the budget for the rest of Russia. For example, in Yakutia, where gold and diamonds are mined, people buy equipment to put out fires with their own money, because everything goes to Moscow and its region, and this situation is everywhere in the Russian regions. But this is not the worst thing... In order for Moscow to be able to exercise control over such a huge territory, it constantly reduces the population in the regions with the help of wars and poverty and drunkenness, thus degrading society so that the regions do not resist. In this way, the Muscovite kingdom has been able to maintain power over such a huge piece of the globe.
After the Orange Revolution in Ukraine Moscow didn't get anymore millions from Ukraine. And greed made Putin hate Ukrainians. The fact that he wanted only more money and not to die, proves that he only tried to scare the West with the nukes. He and his propagandist are the same - just talking about it...
Great interview. I particularly like the part where he says, "every country has a Mafia, but Russia is a country where the mafia has a state." I would say this applies to South Africa, where, "every country has a mafia, but the ANC government, which is a mafia, has a state."
Well, Russia is dependent upon China right now. But Chaina will be steadily more dependent upon the Eastern regions of Russia too, for oil, but also for getting clean water and possibly electricity. But China preferably want to own these resources. Therefore Chana is a long term threat to Russia. Chinas plan seems to be a steadily tighter to Russia economically, and then take it all over.
A good point about the Russian language in Ukraine. I keep saying this to people. That even being only a Russian speaker in Ukraine does not make you Russian, even ethnically. And also the argument that they are oppressed for their language is absurd. So much Russian spoken in Kyiv, and Zelensky a Russian speaker, and even the tv series that made him famous primarily (95% at least, I would say), in Russian.
When I was a student a long time ago in Lviv, Ukraine, one of my best gf was Russian from Russia. She lived with her family in Lviv for 8 years because of her father, an army officer. She went to school there for a year and told me that some local Russian speakers didn't want their children to take Ukrainian language and literature classes, because 'as if' such lessons harmed their children's health. Many Russian speakers in Ukraine hated everything Ukrainian and among them there were even children of Ukrainian speaking parents, who sent them to Russian speaking schools, where they became ashamed of their nationality and tried hard to be Russian. A female cousin of mine in Crimea became like that, even told her mother to never speak Ukrainian in Crimea. It was back in the 1970s. Such was the Russification effect...
What the hell are middle Americans doing watching Russia Today? I just can't fathom this.... that, and so many other good points made here, great interview 👏
That New Year video, with Volodymyr Zelensky and Maxim Galkin dancing and singing, Vladimir Solovev introducing (and dancing along a little) also is in a studio full of all sorts of Russian celebrities, with similar contrasts of being on very different ends of the present 'argument' there seen in the mix of participants. People who often not only would not dance and sing and celebrate together, not only wouldn't even speak to each other, but some of whom simply can't be in the same country together. Maxim Galkin is abroad, doing concert tours ridiculing the present Russian regime, and putting out his independent, highly critical statements about and responses to Russian actions and politicians. And then as concerns everyone else, I wouldn't know where to start. Someone could write a good article, or create a good little documentary video, very indicative of the shattering of Russian society, about how each of those people has or hasn't responded, where they are, etc.
Muscovites will have to learn their actual history first, then work to come to terms with their historical crimes against their neighbors. Ukrainians in Ukraine eventually “forgave” after being subjugated mainly because they had to do so to survive. This will not happen again. There will be no “normal relationship” with Muscovy for at least 2 generations. Probably a solid 50 years. And that’s if muscovites actually change and start taking ownership of their crimes and return the children they’ve kidnapped. 😡
@@theglobalgambit Putin has done a lot of harm to the country and turned most of it's people into hateful brutes. A normal relationship impossible in the near future.
@@theglobalgambit There will be a change in regime somehow, this Russia has no future. What are your thoughts about dealing with maffia in the future. Putin is gone but the rest is the same. Is there hope for young people to shape it different?
I would say that antisemitism was never real in Ukraine. It had its declarative form as a soviet legacy. But Ukrainian nation never really had this trait to begin with. Should I remind you that the biggest righteous people of the world were Ukrainians.
A Jewish man told how a nasty Russian teacher in Kharkiv, Ukraine was mean towards Jewish kids. Because it happened in Ukraine, therefore some say that Ukraine was antisemitic. Russians are famous for being aggressive, Ukrainians are not.
It was amazing how quickly the Russian Mafia appeared after the fall of the USSR an police state so the Mafia must have been in existence during the Soviet Union.
OMG! What a great discussion with so many different points worthy of paying attention to. In particular, I’d like to pause a little after the 21st minute of this discussion. Pyotr Kurzin asks Uriel Epstein about a comment John Mearscheimer made regarding what might make the United States and Russia come closer together. Pyotr says Mearscheimer said it would take an increase in the threat of China to bring the two countries closer together. And, very very correctly in my opinion, Uriel dismisses Mearsheimer by saying “I don’t agree with much of what Mearsheimer says.” Bravo, Uriel!! Mearscheimer has disgraced U. Chicago by becoming a shill for Putin. In addition Uriel correctly notes that Putin has chosen to take a subordinate role to China so that he, Putin, can continue pursuing his dream of a revitalized “Russian Empire“. I am compelled to add this comment, the longer Rusdia continues to engage in this war with Ukraine, the weaker Russia becomes and the more China benefits from the trade-offs of cheap oil for China and an expanded market for Chinese automobiles and other items sold to the Russian market, and the more “Chinese” Russia’s eastern provinces become every day. As predicted by the Pentagon over 40 years ago, eventually Russia’s eastern provinces will become China’s northern provinces.
why not? democracy isn't genetic. If Ukraine can Russia also can although it likely will break up into smaller successor states before hand as Russia is not a "country" but an empire that was never dissolved like the other Euro empires were
Meirschimer 😱 22:36 there are Russian "envoys" to China quickly learning fluent Chinese .... that's how THAT'S going. Also, envoys to North Korea learning fluent Korean and memorizing Kim's world ciew and version of history.

Interesting. Americans speak English Americans are NOT British. Language is different to nationality. It is Putin that does not understand this or uses this as an excuse.
Most former Eastern Block countries plus Russia need Putin to lose in order to get rid of its Soviet past and complete their transitions once and for all. This is Russia VS United Europe as they said not NATO. EU made Putin feel too comfortable in the last decades and deem it gullible and weak (I'm not saying his thinking is baseless). I hope this comment stays this time 😉
