Sergey Victorovich, are you the person
0:02
with whom our citizens certainly do not
0:05
need to be introduced? Well, I know what
0:07
to surprise in your Sinhala language.
0:09
Say hello in Sinhala.
0:13
I sing boo sit yourself down on
0:15
Kahamada.
0:16
We visited there on two occasions. The
0:19
five federal, five united Russia
0:22
pre-election. Is that what this is for
0:24
you? Well, of course, teamwork. Of
0:26
course, someone probably want answers.
0:29
You probably know exactly who is for
0:31
you. Trust, assessment or load,
0:33
additional or reward.
0:38
Well, trust is exactly this. It probably
0:40
doesn't even need to be discussed here
0:42
for a long time. But the main thing for
0:44
me is the management's decision to
0:46
recommend me to this five which was
0:49
approved at the United Russia Congress.
0:55
I have good relations with the leaders
0:57
of all parliamentary parties without
1:00
exception having relations with all Duma
1:04
factions and parties that are
1:06
represented in the Duma. Of course, we
1:08
are interested in them helping to make
1:12
decisions, approving decisions,
1:15
enacting laws to strengthen our foreign
1:17
policies impact is crucial, ensuring it
1:21
gains widespread support. My inclusion
1:24
in the five aligns with leadership's
1:26
decision for this objective.
1:30
It also reflects the circumstances that
1:33
are connected with the very difficult
1:35
period that the country is currently
1:37
experiencing
1:39
and a period that of course depends
1:41
crucially on how we conduct a special
1:44
military operation against it.
1:49
those who unleashed the war against
1:51
Russia, meaning our fighters on the
1:53
front and rear in all their senses and
1:57
on the other hand of course foreign
1:59
policy, diplomacy.
2:04
It is also designed to play a very large
2:07
accompanying role given how they are
2:09
trying to divorce us. By and large, all
2:12
our western interlocutors promise one
2:15
thing and do another. Well, we're
2:17
already there.
2:21
We are used to it. We should be used to
2:23
it. But every time we want to find the
2:25
state of the Russian soul to believe in
2:28
the best. But patience sometimes bursts
2:31
and not in vain. The president shortly
2:34
after the start of a special military
2:36
operation.
2:39
Commenting on one of the events, he
2:41
summed up our relationship with the
2:43
Western Europe as it was before February
2:46
2022. It will never be again.
2:50
The west is here.
2:53
The issue is over. But no one is going
2:55
to follow any agreement, any decades old
2:58
agreements that have worked. And of
3:00
course, everything is falling apart. And
3:03
we know it and feel it. In this
3:05
situation, do we have an alternative to
3:07
offer the world?
3:10
Well, first of all, you must first
3:12
defend your legitimate interests in
3:15
order to offer them to the world. We
3:18
must conquer the world with great
3:19
attention, with a faint heart. Some look
3:22
at how this war imposed on us by the
3:25
West will end
3:29
by the West in response to which the
3:32
president announced at the beginning of
3:34
a special military operation. It's not
3:38
that unprincipled people surround us on
3:40
this planet, but this is life. Everyone
3:43
wants to understand what strength
3:46
brother is and where strength brother
3:49
is. To paraphrase Sergey Bodro,
3:53
but you are absolutely right when you
3:55
say that now they are not even trying to
3:58
hide, disguise, make up anything. They
4:02
openly announced first a strategic
4:05
defeat which Russia needs to inflict
4:07
later.
4:10
observing the situation on the line of
4:12
combat contact and in fact at the front.
4:16
They have moved away from this rhetoric
4:18
now when Zalinski is constantly
4:21
retreating in the Donbas and in other
4:23
areas of the front when he has moved
4:25
from hopelessness
4:30
to outright terrorist activity and they
4:33
see many of its long range means
4:36
achieving their goals. They began to
4:39
publicize this phase of what is
4:42
happening as a turning point
4:46
like the fact that it is still possible
4:49
to defeat Russia with such a Ukrainian
4:52
character which is the aggressor and
4:54
following Ukraine wanted to conquer all
4:57
of Europe. So the slogan of inflicting a
4:59
strategic defeat on Russia appeared
5:02
again.
5:04
The slogan of decolonization of Russia
5:08
appeared. What does the dismemberment of
5:11
our country frankly mean? Once again,
5:14
the revival of those hopes that are at
5:16
the stage.
5:20
The West also experienced the
5:22
disappearance of the Soviet Union,
5:25
watching how separatist movements
5:27
appeared in the Far East in the Eurals,
5:30
not to mention the Caucuses, and
5:32
cherishing the hope that all this will
5:34
now fall apart and could be picked up
5:37
piece by piece.
5:39
And even there, in my opinion, even they
5:41
figured out who should get what. On the
5:44
verge of another era, truth confronts
5:46
reality. The eural Franks went well of
5:48
course yes everything is there so called
5:51
the republic was on the verge of Boris
5:53
Nikolich yelen
5:58
I have found the courage to hand over
6:00
power ahead of schedule. This is also
6:04
the fact that he handed over power to
6:06
the person who was the only one who was
6:09
able to save Russia at that time. You
6:11
see this historic turn
6:15
which probably means that Russia is
6:18
still marked by God and even when it is
6:21
very difficult they help us from above.
6:24
But now that they are talking about
6:26
strategic defeat again and that they are
6:28
actively supporting ours,
6:34
I went around L count organizing all
6:37
sorts of anti-Russian societies in
6:39
Europe, collecting funds to continue
6:42
some kind of underground struggle for
6:44
the split of the Russian Federation.
6:49
They don't hide it at all anymore. Our
6:51
central channels show everything that
6:54
the west is plotting and probably it is
6:57
important to see everyone to understand
6:59
that the situation is serious. The
7:01
president is not hiding it. The whole
7:04
thing turned against us.
7:09
Civilized so to speak. The world that
7:11
calls itself so until 2007 before the
7:15
Munich speech. They loved us in their
7:17
arms. Well, now at least everything is
7:20
more honest. They thought we were in the
7:22
pocket. And President Putin when he came
7:25
to power was absolutely open
7:29
to an equal strategic partnership with
7:31
the West is that now our former allies
7:35
namely the Anglo-Saxons with varying
7:37
degrees of ferocity. London is more with
7:41
shish and a little less are fighting
7:43
against us
7:47
through Ukraine pumping it with the most
7:50
modern weapons announcing that they will
7:53
produce new deadly and high-tech
7:55
anti-missile systems specifically for
7:58
Ukraine. Well, this
8:05
it's just that this has never happened.
8:07
We started a special military operation
8:09
in conditions when society in general
8:12
was calmly comfortable, satisfied in
8:15
general with its standard of living etc.
8:24
The fact that this also did not suit the
8:26
west is a fact. They did not want
8:28
society to be calm. They wanted society
8:32
to incight against the authorities and
8:34
were preparing provocations. They can't
8:37
compete fairly. They are afraid of fair
8:40
fair competition in everything
8:43
including sanctions to hold positions
8:46
that are irretrievably slipping away
8:49
after five centuries of western
8:51
dominance.
8:52
Therefore, once again about our state
8:55
and the state of our society, this is
8:57
important to me. How
9:02
Well, a citizen as the minister of
9:05
foreign affairs conducting the foreign
9:08
policy of the president which should
9:10
reflect the mood of the people. Of
9:12
course, they want to create trouble
9:14
here. Putin mentioned this recently.
9:17
What are we?
9:21
Progress daily is not as fast as we
9:24
would like. But saving people on the
9:26
front line, they make up for their
9:27
failures on that very line of contact
9:30
Bolo are trying to undermine with
9:32
terrorist acts.
9:38
The way of life to which people are
9:41
accustomed. If you are in Moscow, these
9:44
unmanned attacks are already being felt
9:46
in St. Petersburg and what is happening
9:49
in the border areas in the border
9:52
regions of the Russian Federation.
9:56
There they are simply experiencing all
9:59
the hardships of martial law and I am
10:02
very proud to be honest because the
10:05
people perceive this. they perceive it
10:07
correctly as it should.
10:11
As history told us and as those who
10:14
defeated Nazism told us, especially
10:17
since we are now at war with the direct
10:19
followers and descendants of those
10:22
Nazis.
10:28
In the same composition, Merz openly
10:30
says, "We will again be the main ones in
10:33
Europe. If you are so frank, well, be
10:36
prepared.
10:39
So you said that before offering the
10:41
world an alternative world order.
10:45
We must protect our national interests.
10:47
You have to win for this. What are our
10:49
national interests in the international
10:51
arena?
10:53
So that we are an independent power, an
10:55
independent civilization, so that our
10:58
borders are reliably secured.
11:04
so that no one even tries to think about
11:06
advising us on how to arrange our lives
11:08
inside Russia and that all peoples of
11:12
the Russian Federation continue to have
11:14
rights guaranteed by the constitution
11:21
on education on preserving the cultural
11:24
traditions of its religious beliefs and
11:26
in this capacity Russia will not only be
11:30
interested in cooperating ing on equal
11:32
terms with other large centers.
11:36
Both China and India are forming. So
11:39
these major players of course together
11:42
with us will defend justice in the hope
11:45
that the west will also one day come to
11:48
its senses. Europe in particular
11:54
and will be ready to integrate honestly
11:57
on equal terms into these new systems of
12:01
relationships until he is ready for it.
12:04
The United States is also absolutely not
12:07
ready for this and so far this wait is
12:09
prolonged.
12:13
These new centers of power are forming
12:16
their bricks network structures. One of
12:19
them where the leading economies of the
12:22
world majority gather and solve issues
12:25
differently than is done in the same n
12:28
where
12:31
America is in charge and everyone is
12:33
trying. So is it subservient to somehow
12:37
please the hegeimon? And this is
12:40
certainly not the European Union where
12:42
the Brussels bureaucracy has usurped the
12:44
rights of national governments in
12:47
neither the bricks nor the SEO.
12:50
In the Eurasian Economic Union, no one
12:54
can give a single example when Russia or
12:57
China, if we talk about the bricks
13:00
highway, anyone else began to demand
13:03
something,
13:08
mutually respectful negotiations with a
13:10
view to compromise.
13:14
35,000 sanctions probably in general a
13:17
historical record for the entire
13:19
existence of humanity in the state. How
13:21
do we how do we manage to survive thanks
13:24
to what?
13:25
Well, of course, thanks first of all to
13:28
our ancestors who created such a
13:30
country.
13:31
The richest country in the world is the
13:34
largest country in the world bordering
13:37
the oceans which allows us to develop
13:40
and trade to ensure our security.
13:43
connection of the navy.
13:48
Of course, industrialization, which
13:51
after all began in the Russian Empire,
13:54
now the railways that connected the
13:56
whole country talk a lot about this and
13:59
many foundations of ferris mythology and
14:02
of course industrialization already
14:05
under the Soviet Union were laid
14:09
in the shortest possible time. For what
14:12
decade, 15 years before the outbreak of
14:15
the Great Patriotic War, colossal
14:18
successes were achieved. And this in
14:21
many ways also helped prevent a
14:23
catastrophe. But still,
14:28
our main national quality is something
14:30
that is not in the West, but in our
14:33
civilization. Respect for those who
14:35
created it. respect for those who are
14:46
who built cities, who conquered enemies.
14:49
We had our times and Gorchakov after the
14:52
Crimean War when he said Russia is not
14:55
angry. Russia is concentrating when we
14:59
were defeated.
15:04
for reasons that don't make sense to
15:06
talk about right now. But we also need
15:08
not to get angry right now. This is the
15:11
worst quality. To get angry is nerves.
15:14
To spend, you need to concentrate and
15:16
but healthy anger is quite appropriate.
15:23
Not angry to find healthy anger. anger
15:26
including from the point of view of
15:27
necessity will accelerate in everything
15:31
in the direction of a technological
15:33
breakthrough. There's a lot of talk
15:35
about this now
15:39
and it's just evil to decide that we
15:42
have to do this to ourselves to get
15:44
angry. I want to achieve all this
15:47
quickly and we need the same healthy
15:49
anger on the external front. Don't fall
15:52
into any hysterics but simply draw a
15:54
conclusion within yourself. Now
15:59
that just check this then we'll see
16:02
first check and most importantly rot
16:04
your line. Now again our Turkish
16:07
neighbors say that they are ready to
16:09
help Ukraine again.
16:15
But at the same time they immediately
16:17
signed NATO documents which say it is
16:20
necessary to restore the territorial
16:23
integrity of the Kiev regime. There are
16:25
other suggestions the same American
16:28
administration.
16:31
The current one again says that now we
16:34
will only deal with Iran and then we
16:36
will help you. We have an army and navy
16:39
and now it's still air. We have had
16:41
space forces for a long time and the
16:44
forces of unmanned systems and people
16:50
and therefore when they say to talk well
16:52
let's decide somewhere there well let
16:54
everything remain as it is. Let's freeze
16:56
on the line of contact and then let's
16:59
think about how to find a compromise. We
17:02
have sensations at first.
17:07
The historical continuity of our
17:10
historical identity and national pride
17:13
has a lot of national pride. So when the
17:15
west now tells us well we will think
17:18
about when we the west decide
17:24
to resume negotiations with you. But
17:26
these will be negotiations so that
17:28
America sits, Europe sits, Zalinski,
17:31
Putin. Before that a ceasefire must be
17:35
declared. After the ceasefire, we will
17:37
introduce the Westerners.
17:42
Multinational forces led by France and
17:45
England. And then let's sit down and
17:47
talk about what this means. This is an
17:50
ultimatum. The Nazi regime will remain
17:53
frozen on the line of contact. We will
17:55
not recognize any territories where your
17:58
referendums were held.
18:03
But uh the quality of our people is
18:06
still unique in that you remember the
18:08
Soviets had such a song. Their own pride
18:11
is not because the Soviets had it
18:13
because the Russians have always had it.
18:19
And this pride remains Sergey.
18:22
Victorovich, can I find out what you
18:24
were like in the yard? You're talking
18:26
about healthy anger now.
18:29
And I think it's interesting. Did you
18:30
beat or did you include diplomacy? We
18:33
all have a familiar principle. If a
18:35
fight is inevitable, hit first. We know
18:37
whose principle. But what do you have?
18:40
>> Immaturk
18:48
for the restoration of the name of
18:50
Bogarodsk.
18:52
I am now actively working with the
18:54
Moscow region with my friend Andre
18:56
Vorobiov there are already separate
18:59
ones.
19:00
These are pandemic changes but the city
19:03
itself still remains Noki and the part
19:07
of it in which I lived it was a clean
19:09
village there from the railway station
19:12
to the left well the city and to the
19:14
right there are two rows of wooden
19:16
wooden houses with all the amenities
19:19
like them.
19:22
We are equipped in the villages and
19:24
what's wrong with us as boys. And when
19:26
the trains came, we ran where the
19:28
freight train stayed. We looked at what
19:31
they brought in the freight cars. If
19:33
there were watermelons, then we were
19:35
hooligans.
19:40
Sergey, the whole country knows a lot
19:43
about you, but they have never asked
19:45
about your grandparents, who they were,
19:48
whose genes are in your blood, and whose
19:50
abilities are whose talent.
19:56
Mom and dad separated when I was just a
19:58
baby. Both were graduates of the
20:01
Institute of Foreign Trade, now part of
20:04
MGM Mo, which led my mother to advocate
20:07
my joining.
20:12
I entered Mimo and did so with some
20:15
success. And after being assigned, they
20:18
went to work in breast at customs at
20:21
ours. And then well, fate decreed that I
20:25
began to live only with my mother. My
20:27
grandmother had
20:31
in Noki. My grandmother was a senior
20:35
nurse and my grandfather managed the
20:37
Naginsky railway station ensuring
20:41
wartime troop transport.
20:43
His two brothers fought in the war and
20:46
returned. Sadly, grandpa passed away
20:49
early.
20:52
Very young. He was 67 years old. But my
20:56
grandmother lived longer. She later
20:59
moved to Moscow with us. And I loved
21:02
them very much. They were truly my
21:04
friends.
21:09
They would protect me when they felt
21:11
that I had done something that my mother
21:13
might not like. Well, as usual, they are
21:16
roots.
21:20
They play an invisible role. Maybe even
21:23
you don't think about, wow, I have so
21:26
many generations. That's not the point.
21:29
But the point is that you already live
21:31
for them. It's just like we are now
21:33
fighting for those who defeated the
21:35
Germans
21:37
all of Europe with them. Do you go
21:40
rafting? That's still true.
21:43
Somewhere probably since 84 or 85 years
21:46
old, our company decided to go on a wild
21:49
vacation. And one of our friends,
21:57
he was a year older than MG. He comes
22:00
from Ufffa and he simply invited us
22:02
together with another of our comrades to
22:06
go to Ufa for a week in the summer to
22:08
fish like a river. We went to the river
22:11
to fish. There are lakes there, too.
22:15
We took a boat, went for a ride, caught
22:18
fish on the Blaya River. It doesn't flow
22:20
at all. It's barely even calm. And
22:23
decided that for the next year, we
22:26
gathered a team of five people and chose
22:28
the Beia River.
22:33
Already in Al Thai, there is a speech
22:36
that flows from Telletki Lake. But uh
22:39
before going there, we learned that
22:41
several rivers flow into Telletki Lake,
22:44
including the Chulishman River, which is
22:46
very, very stormy.
22:49
We began to work out options and finally
22:52
agreed. We climbed 20 kilometers from
22:55
the Stellki Lake along this very
22:58
difficult river. This lake threw us off.
23:01
We all miraculously stayed in the rafts
23:04
and didn't capsize.
23:08
Then we were dragged by boat across Lake
23:10
Tetski and then rafted along the B
23:13
River. But after that we got to Katun
23:16
for the first time and rode it from top
23:18
to bottom. The beginning of the middle
23:21
current where the rafting world cup is
23:23
held.
23:27
There are rapids somewhere 44 and a
23:30
half. There are elements five and once
23:32
we rafted from Beluca mountain itself a
23:36
very interesting route only you need to
23:38
pay for the first day too. All this is
23:41
barely moving and then it falls sharply
23:44
down. And here in this section there are
23:47
five fantastically heavy thresholds.
23:50
Well, the adrenaline is just produced
23:53
instantly.
23:57
Turned over.
23:59
My fruit is not there. We swam on two
24:02
rafts for us. colleagues colleagues
24:05
capsized a couple of times but we pulled
24:08
them out and we spent almost 20 years on
24:12
cartoon. I mean not winter but years. We
24:15
have a lot of friends there.
24:20
Absolutely unforgettable.
24:22
Well, in the evening you dock in these
24:24
banks, take out the fruit, build a fire,
24:28
pitch a tent, and then play a song.
24:30
Guitar
24:31
>> guitar song. Well, in general, guitar
24:33
songs.
24:34
>> How many songs do you play on guitar? I
24:37
roughly know that they probably didn't
24:38
count.
24:40
>> I adore Visotki's music and I'm a big
24:43
fan of Oku Java
24:46
and play and sing.
24:48
>> Yes. Yes. Someday we'll hear it, Sergey
24:50
Dimitra. Well, we definitely have to. I
24:53
will take advantage of your
24:54
opportunities in our media space
24:58
without any fees. If this is
25:00
interesting, who am I? I accept
25:03
>> yours. It's interesting. I really want
25:06
to hear. Yes, Sergey Victorovich.
25:08
Everything is interesting to us because
25:11
journalists, people like not only to spy
25:14
on you, but also to eavesdrop,
25:16
especially when when you think that the
25:19
microphone is turned off. Remember, if
25:21
you registered the trademark with
25:24
one word, you would probably become a
25:26
rich man because this jersey was worn by
25:29
almost all my colleagues and me too.
25:32
It's sold in circulation of 1,1,000
25:35
copies.
25:37
Is this your nature or does it emerge in
25:39
specific situations?
25:42
Well, it pops up. Well, we're all living
25:44
people. However, your peers claim you
25:47
completely avoid this at work. These are
25:50
liars. Well, yes,
25:53
I'll always remember her. Of course,
25:55
this isn't just a superficial remark.
25:58
Doesn't it puzzle you when something
26:00
suddenly feels wrong or when someone
26:03
acts unexpectedly?
26:05
Life happens that way.
26:10
Hot word about the trademark. Never
26:12
thought about it. By the way, after
26:14
Alaska, where did I appear in a CCCR
26:17
sweater?
26:22
They called my assistants, thanked them,
26:25
and said they were eager to push these
26:27
sweaters onto my friends. You probably
26:30
sense this pulls people in when it
26:33
attracts them.
26:38
Now, there are many, and they haven't
26:40
vanished. There seems to be a unique
26:43
wave surrounding the USSR now tied to
26:47
its legacy. It's about where we began.
26:51
People seek more than this life. They
26:54
long for a sense of belonging
26:58
to the fact that your ancestors did
27:00
under the most difficult conditions
27:03
lifted this country up, lifted it out of
27:06
poverty, created the conditions for
27:09
coexistence in hundreds of languages.
27:16
When people wear these sweaters, they
27:18
feel that even those who did not live in
27:21
the Soviet Union but their parents,
27:24
grandparents told them. Therefore, it
27:27
seems to me as Vladimir Vladimir Putin
27:29
said, "Whoever does not regret the
27:31
Soviet Union has no heart.
27:36
And he who wants to return it has no
27:38
head." But all this is preserved about
27:40
the heart, but about the head. Well,
27:42
thank God. In the current situation in
27:45
Russia, there is a head and it is sober.
27:51
You have already mentioned that our
27:53
country is the motherland. It is
27:55
protected by God's kiss and you yourself
27:58
are a believing person. My believing
28:01
grandmother baptized me secretly from my
28:04
mother. My mother was a communist and
28:06
she was hers. She herself went to be
28:09
baptized completely.
28:14
In adulthood, after we had a situation
28:17
with the collapse of the Soviet Union
28:20
and my grandmother carried me to Noki,
28:24
there is still a temple on the banks of
28:26
the Moscow River. God grant that.
28:33
He continued the practice there. The
28:36
cross tied to me back then remains
28:38
preserved. Uh those were memorable times
28:43
and something happened that nothing but
28:45
a miracle except God cannot be explained
28:49
in your life.
28:55
Undoubtedly there must be stories but I
28:57
prefer not to dwell on them.
29:05
For instance, when we were rafting, we
29:07
stopped, took horses, ascended the
29:10
mountains, and I engaged in equestrian
29:13
sports. Having learned the basics at the
29:16
institute, I had some skills others
29:19
lacked.
29:24
And suddenly the horses were carried
29:26
away when we were already descending.
29:29
And on the right the mountain on the
29:31
left, such a decent chasm on the right.
29:34
And one of my comrades was carried away
29:42
and he could practically knock me down
29:45
and somehow miraculously managed to
29:48
stop. But probably
29:50
if you take political dramas, if you
29:53
will, this is probably still a push.
29:59
I'm going back again to what we started
30:02
with then thinking, well, Russia is a
30:05
herbivore. It's obedient, but it needs
30:08
to simply follow everything that we what
30:11
we will denote.
30:17
when it turned out that Russia is
30:19
disobedient, that Russia has its own
30:21
pride. But this began to manifest itself
30:25
even before the Munich speech in 2007,
30:28
which you remembered when Vladimir
30:30
Vladimir simply well very frankly and
30:33
honestly stated everything in
30:38
in the context of the discussion which
30:40
was all permeated with hypocrisy.
30:43
By and large, there were also moments
30:46
before that. But we did not lose hope
30:48
that the West would come to its senses
30:51
that all this is just time,
30:54
some kind of relapse that he must
30:56
suppress for himself. Here are the
30:58
Baltics.
31:00
When in 2004, I had just assumed the
31:03
ministerial post and they began to drag
31:06
the Baltic states into the next wave of
31:08
NATO expansion.
31:10
The president asked them, "Why are you
31:13
doing this?" We agreed, you understand,
31:15
but they have what's left.
31:20
During the period of their stay in the
31:23
Soviet Union, there is a feeling that
31:25
they were occupied, enslaved, and this
31:28
fear still remains in them, and we are
31:32
destroying them. We will take them to
31:34
the European Union, and they will come
31:36
down. So what they come down they are
31:39
now in charge.
31:41
These were their shooters
31:44
who are provoked against us knowing
31:47
they're such a hot nature of uh Estonian
31:51
guys. Lithuania and Latvia have now
31:55
announced that they are lifting the ban
31:57
on deploying nuclear weapons on their
32:00
territory. So,
32:02
so you only need to rely on yourself as
32:05
president and have repeatedly emphasized
32:08
that well if this is a thrust then yes
32:11
there is
32:20
the severe consequences of what is
32:22
happening especially in attracting the
32:25
option. But once again I want to say
32:28
that we are completing the work of our
32:30
grandfathers and greatgrandfathers who
32:33
destroyed Nazism. But our former allies.
32:39
This Nazism was saved by knowing about
32:42
the fate of General Fair who in the west
32:46
found shelter and homes and shelter. And
32:50
now something that never should have
32:52
happened. No one could ever think that
32:54
this was
32:57
it will happen. But Nazism is already
33:00
reborn openly. No one even hides. So we
33:03
have no other option if we want to stay
33:06
in our Russian civilization.
33:13
Final question, Sergey Vtorovich.
33:17
What do you put in the word motherland
33:19
Russia?
33:22
Life
33:27
most important.
33:29
Most important.
33:32
Thank you. Russia is life to you and
33:34
life is Russia.
