this is for you. i'm arty and very tasty. i didn't raise the apartment very much. this is my mother, yes, well, that is, like a mother, in short, i , like you, am also a grandfather, well, that is , i had a mother all this time, it’s just that when my father died, i was 3 years old, and my mother decided to rebuild her life , well, she got married again, and of course i started to interfere, so she sent me to the orphanage, they didn’t deprive her of her rights. she just

didn’t need me at that time, and then, when i was already working in a police department, she got divorced, found me, asked for forgiveness, she was already sick then, but i bought this apartment so that she should live together, well, a year ago she died, i ate the crayfish, she wasn’t good, it just happens sometimes. i didn’t end up in a colony, but then at

police school, college, or something like work.

yes, i understand, girl, anna is in danger, thank you. it’s a pity, i haven’t contacted your subscriber for a day now, please call back later.

game you are funny! a special analytical edition of the big game is on air, today with us from washington, the ambassador of the russian federation to the united states, anatoly ivanovich antonov. anatoly ivanovich, it’s a great pleasure to see you, hear, and, of course, very grateful that you found the time. i remember well our last

conversation in washington many months ago, it was in the fall of '22, basically. the situation was, let’s say, in russian-american relations, well, not very optimistic, and i told you, but at least it probably won’t get worse, and it seemed to me that you were at least partly in agreement with me , do you think it has become worse, uh, much darker and grayer in russian-american relations, this is such a dissonance. with the magnificent weather , which today in washington is 25° warm, it is even difficult to imagine that russian-american relations, you know, they will continue to deteriorate, by the way, this is precisely the thesis that one of the heads of the

us state department confirmed in a conversation with me yesterday. well, i always prefer people to be sincere, especially when it's impossible. ronald reagan loudly said: "mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall." now our former republican president is telling putin, “hell no, do what you want.” in fact, the former president of the united states said this while bowing before the russian leader. in my opinion, this is outrageous, dangerous and unacceptable. america

was among the founders of nato, a military alliance of democracies created after world war ii to prevent military conflicts and maintain peace. today we have made nato stronger than ever. if the united states retreats now, it will put ukraine at great risk, all of europe will be in danger, the threat will loom over the entire democratic world, and this will give courage to those who wish us harm. we will not bow, i will not bow. we will not bow down, i will not bow down, in my opinion, he has confused himself with churchill. well, i don’t know, on the one hand, on the one hand, in general, it seems to me that this is a pathetic sight, on the other hand, yes. seriously, the situation , the situation is sad, sad, not for russia , but for the strategic security of the whole world, when high-ranking figures at

the presidential level make such ill-considered statements, well, how did we live to see that russia has become an enemy of the united states america, look. in relation to russia , a stream of lies, dirt, information that does not correspond to reality is pouring, when the top leaders of the united states of america insult our country, the top leaders of the united states insult the president of the russian federation, but where is this seen, where is this heard, we have become enemies, this is not my words, this is not my conclusion, this is the conclusion of the president of the united states of america, to this i want to add another event that took place literally 2 days ago, on march 11-12, in the lower and upper house held a meeting of the heads of national intelligence of the united states of america, what was said there, and that

threats to the security of the united states of america come from russia and the key message: we must prepare for a tough confrontation. with russia and of course china. by the way, if we think about the logic of these statements, namely biden and burns, hines and other heads of intelligence agencies, then it is quite understandable, because we have swung the sacred. we said that the order that the americans created, based on rules for us, an order that ensures and serves interests is unacceptable. only some handful of states of western pseudo-democracies of the united states of america, we will not live in such conditions, we are not ready to support the values ​​​​imposed on us, we have our own culture, history, people, traditions, customs, we rely on this

and move forward, logical the question is, the local bureaucracy, why change everything, because everything is the same. good, because the united states of america lives beautifully, western democracies are thriving, well, in order to stop us, for this everyone. you are good, you know, the most unpleasant thing for me is that americans have begun to forgive terrorist threats and terrorist actions. you know, just recently, 2001, i remember very well when the terrorist attack on the united states of america took place. but then vladimir vladimirovich putin was the first political leader who extended a helping hand and support to the american president . people, then something began to work out, at that time i was working as deputy

permanent representative in geneva, and we tried to develop this mood led to concrete agreements with the united states of america, but everything ultimately went downhill, according to the worst option. you are talking about russian-american relations, but they don’t exist today. here, perhaps, today it is only worth mentioning cooperation in space. and some aspects of interaction through the state corporation rosatom, but in fact, we continue to follow the path of deterioration in russian-american relations. literally a minute before going on air, i took the trading statistics between our two countries, it fell several times, and today the trade turnover based on the results of the twenty -third year is five, somewhere a little more than a penny. billions of dollars, we mainly supply fertilizers,

palladium, uranium raw materials, and the americans supply us with medicines, medical equipment and some food products, but the numbers are so meager compared to previous years, and i think that we have a deteriorating trend, before after all, there was excellent cooperation on afghanistan, northeast asia, and iran. on the arctic, on terrorism, on problems of terrorism, the fight against international terrorism in the field of information technology. today there is nothing of this. the only thing, however, in order to be completely correct, the americans say: we are ready to cooperate with you within the framework of an agreement on the reduction of strategic offensive expressions. yesterday, republican senator foster and his colleagues even proposed a resolution. in the senate condemning russia for suspending the implementation of the start treaty,

i want to tell you that i have devoted several decades to studying the issue strategic stability, tried to understand the american positions, what the americans want and what we need, if we start with the americans, all the americans need are checks, this is verification activity. at russian sites of strategic importance , they want to know how many carriers we have, how many warheads are deployed, how many are ready for launch, they want to stop the military-technological development of the russian federation, and some weapons that we are proud of, well, for example, posidon, they insist that we stop developing them, the question is: what are the americans offering us? in fact, we are not a nation

that has lost any battle, war, and should not follow, only according to the patterns of the americans, they offer us, they offer nothing, i went to the state department several times, to the white house and tried to figure out what you want, are you ready for a serious conversation on strategic stability, i emphasize.

openly says that the united states wants to give ukraine the ability to bear the blows in crimea, apparently, including the crimean bridge, in general they believe in washington that kiev has the right to strike at any territory that kiev considers its own,

including those territories, starting with crimea, that are already russian. constitution is an integral part of the russian federation, and at the same time the biden administration says that they do not want war, that they will not allow war, that they seem to support ukraine, but are not a direct participant in the conflict, are they or are they not a direct participant in the conflict? this a constant dispute between me and the white representatives. at home and the state department, i constantly emphasize that the united states of america today is a direct participant in the conflict, but how can we ignore the fact that a huge flow of weapons and ammunition is constantly pouring into the territory of an eastern european country, where ordinary russian

guys are being destroyed, and, if several years ago we were talking about the supply of small arms, but today you are absolutely right, because they talk about long-range systems, and this is sometimes said openly, but we have absolutely no idea what really is behind the scenes , take the patriot’s assurance, even according to open data, his crew is 80-90 people, the system is so complex that the question arises whether the americans will trust the management of this system to a ukrainian, we know how americans are careful about theirs... they don’t want it to fall into the hands of the russian armed forces. the question remains, i asked it repeatedly in the white house, while i don’t get any answer, they always give me a negative answer, i say, well, all we have to do is take captured by any of the military personnel of the united states of america. second, america plays an extremely negative role in the ukrainian

conflict. firstly, an old dream was a success, and that’s about it. candalisa rice said, the former ministers of defense, the slavs are fighting against the slavs, but no one here is happy that in the same ukraine a huge number of cemeteries appeared and so many people died, this is a tragedy, and this tragedy needs to be completed, everything was in the hands of the americans and henchmen of the british from western countries, we were not allowed to implement those agreements. which were achieved in istanbul, it’s just that then there wouldn’t be such victims and it’s unknown, by the way, what will be left of ukraine now? remember yesterday's interview, i listened to vladimir vladimirovich very carefully and he said that we are ready for negotiations, serious negotiations, taking into account the situation on earth, we do not need any dummy, we need very

reliable security guarantees, in fact, precisely the last 3 years ... this is exactly what we are talking about, are the kiev authorities today negotiable? i think that no, it’s hard to imagine today with which of them we need to negotiate, i think that their curators, their puppeteers are here in washington and maybe on the islands near europe, i think that the americans will not change their attitude, i recalled burns’ speech and i already mentioned on the eleventh or twelfth, a hearing on threats to the national security of the united states of america, it clearly states, yes, we see the front is cracking, our troops are advancing like lava along everything, along the entire length, along the entire line of contact,

the sacrifices are huge, however , what needs to be done in this situation, one thing needs to be done: supply weapons, continue... the war to prevent the victory of the russian federation, there is some kind of nonsense just from all sides that as soon as russia finishes the operation in ukraine, will immediately attack western countries. you know, dmitry, it’s a pity that you are not here, i would like to share more detailed information with you, several think tanks recently held discussions on this matter, what to do with ukraine, what to do with the foreign policy of the united states of america, you you know, there were several ledges.' any sensible thought here is still being suppressed, and russophobia rules the roost here. there is nothing good in this, of course, but it is good that

at least we understand what is happening, but what is happening with the embassy, ​​how do you live, how do you work under these conditions, and how will the russian presidential elections be held under these conditions? i think. that i probably ruined the mood of many viewers today by talking about the difficulties and problems of russian-american relations, it’s unlikely it will be right if i cry here and talk about how hard life is for us, we work, we work until the last diplomat, there are fewer and fewer of us, more and more people are leaving, no solutions are in sight in the near future, and yet we do on-site consular sessions, thousands, thousands of people contact us who want to formalize, receive consular services from our diplomats, and without hesitation,

our diplomats leave, it’s interesting that some relocants approach with their heads down to our diplomats and they say: are you from the fsb or are you from the svr, so they say, what crazy russian diplomat will go today, for example, to florida in... in order to simply talk with russians and solve some everyday problems of ours citizens. of course, the main problem today for us, for our embassy, ​​is the organization of elections. three polling stations will be created in the united states of america, in houston, in washington, in new york, we are preparing on a daily basis, we explained to everyone. who can come to us, they said, regardless of political orientation and preferences , every russian citizen who comes to the territory of our polling

station will be given the opportunity to choose their candidate and vote. yesterday, by the way, when i was at the state department, i raised with the leadership of the state department the question of ensuring the security of our polling stations throughout... the entire territory of the united states of america, we receive a lot of provocative calls, threats, we know that anti-russian actions are planned both near embassies and consulates general, so there will be an attempt to penetrate into the territory of the russian federation, into the territory of our embassy, ​​and not to disrupt it, it simply won’t work, but to complicate it and spoil our mood, because i still believe that... presidential elections are a big holiday, a big holiday, when we can all clearly say what we can do. there are many questions from our people who are in

prison. dmitry, this is a big problem; today we have 120 people in prison. i i want to tell you that we pay special attention to these people, we visit, in particular, recently we managed to visit 25 people, these are alexander vinnik, vladislav.

readiness to defend their homeland requires betrayal, requires consent - with crimes that they did not commit,

then they say: if you don’t, if...

worried in the materials of the american press about detained convicted russians, there was a report that in some cases they were subjected outright provocation, that is , they were approached by some fbi agents, offered them some deals, then they were detained because they allegedly agreed to these deals, even if they agreed, which, as i understand it, is far from established, but even if they agreed, in fact, in the russian court there was the question would immediately be raised: how can people be considered guilty if they would not have committed a crime if the state itself had not approached them with such

provocative proposals?

they put their face on the floor, twist their arms, and ask one question: what are you doing in russian embassy, ​​why do you go there, what instructions did the ambassador give you to undermine the democratic foundations of the united states of america? yes, with regard to russian diplomats, we know about such, as we say , targeted appeals, this is when you receive an offer by phone, find an opportunity to contact... the department or the federal bureau of investigation, approaches, provocative approaches from american services, they are increasingly increase, and the most disgusting thing, i can’t find another word for, is when this happens in clinics, hospitals , where do russian diplomats come, well, normal people who may be sick, they come for help, especially if they bring their children or wives, then the american... intelligence services

, taking advantage of the weakness of our diplomats and employees, begin to provoke them actively against the illegal, well, if you want, so that they betray their homeland. now, when i hear this kind of thing, the question immediately arises: do they not understand american specialties?

it's up to you to decide what's wrong with this person. do, probably, if you have friendly relations with his country, or at least me...

americans proceed from the fact that they are always right in everything, they turn a deaf ear to our concerns, our concerns, which, in particular, yesterday i literally voiced one of the deputy secretaries of state, and at the same time demand extremely respectful attitude towards their representatives who violate some rules and laws established by the russian federation.

existing laws, would not try to interfere in the internal affairs of the russian the federations would not interfere with us pursuing our policies, but more often than not this kind of conversation occurs as if it were not a language spoken to the deaf. and the last question, rhetorical, russia in the united states is regularly accused of interfering in american internal affairs and trying to influence american elections. firstly, have you been given any facts that russia is doing this at this stage and secondly, have you asked your

american, i don’t know what to call them, colleagues, if interference in internal things from their point of view are unacceptable, why do they regularly and openly interfere in...

american internal affairs and elections, there is no such thing. while, you know, in recent years, especially the week before the presidential elections in the russian federation, all the think tanks here are simply exploding that

it’s time to change the government in the country, it’s time to establish democratic values, well , remember that famous phrase that we actually expected russia to be another democratic state that would be... friendly with the united states america, they don’t want to admit it here that we have national interests, and i keep telling my american interlocutors that as long as... until you change your foreign policy, until you stop undermining the foundations foundations of the russian state, there will be no serious conversation, and there will be no equal conversation, as soon as you change, first of all , the first signal will be the situation in ukraine, we can look and think about how we can get out of this quagmire, where we are being drawn v present time... current administration. anatoly ivanovich, thank you very much

, it’s not for me to tell you what an important and difficult job you have and thank you for being ready to do all this in the most verbal conditions, thank you for finding time for us, i hope to see you again soon in our broadcast, well, i hope, maybe, if i manage to end up in the united states, i’ll see you at your embassy in washington. thanks a lot. thank you very much, i will be waiting for you. we're leaving for advertising, we'll be back in just a few minutes. i have been living in russia since 2012. sbu opened a hunt for miss donbass 2011. this, of course, is a form of such informational and psychological aggression. if they think they can intimidate me, they are very much mistaken. i will continue to do so.

in russia, our poverty has ended, ours have really come, for 10 years now, i have been living in a state of this euphoria, the heart of crimea for a year i live in crimea, when we moved to open to everyone, people from all regions of russia began to come to the peninsula, crimea was completed the bridge was opened, an airport was built, roads, hospitals appeared in crimea, kindergartens, delight, i stopped seeing fields that were abandoned. that is, everything is involved, hello, my vines, they are

alive, an absolutely incomprehensible phrase, what is our crimea, and what else? to the tenth anniversary of the reunification of crimea with russia, the documentary series will premiere on saturday on the first. there's a big game on the air.

two countries, russia and the united states, found a mode of vivende that would satisfy the national interests of russia and that would also be in the interests of the united states, but this is no longer my, so to speak, competence, i tried to do the same thing, but i have the impression that you have an unambiguous opinion; i have many others in moscow, including russian specialists, who were previously considered

quite reasonable and far from well located in the united states, it seems to me that none of them ready to listen, unless they shout down putin, ukraine is always right and will not directly publicly apologize for russian actions in ukraine, or do you have a different experience, i see that no, i'm with it. i agree, i would add to what you said that it is moving very quickly degradation, not just public debate in the united states. countries of the west, but i would say such mental degradation, many of those people with whom we communicated and who were quite sober-minded, quite reasonable, now they, well, are forced, or this has already become their own position,

to speak out, well, i would said from such a stereotyped propaganda position, i must say, this is very alarming, this also worries me very much, and i also have to draw some conclusions from this, that the problem not only with these people, with their, well, if you like, conformism, but problems in the current political culture in america, when a serious conversation about relations with another nuclear power is practically impossible. it's right. but it seems to me that in the american and european consciousness, which is generally surprising, the concept of a nuclear power, another nuclear power, or a power of equal nuclear power has been greatly devalued, that is, a very dangerous idea has penetrated into consciousness

that nuclear weapons can be may be it has been bracketed that a nuclear power can be defeated on the battlefield. yes, let us listen to what one very experienced, from my point of view , authoritative specialist says about this, let us listen. taking advantage of our rather restrained attitude towards increasingly brazen attacks on russia and russian citizens, the americans continue to spin an escalatory spiral. it must be understood that for some influential forces in the united states, a regional war in europe with the use of nuclear weapons, which simultaneously weakens an enemy of russia and a competitor of the eu, in principle. admittedly, moscow’s warnings that such a war would inevitably affect america are perceived as empty horror stories, so excessive restraint on our part can encourage the enemy and lead to a catastrophic head-on collision. i agree with every word you say, but i want to make sure i understand exactly what you

mean. the first is when you talk about empty fear stories. how does washington see it, and what can be done about it? you know i'm a long time the time is already, well, starting from the middle of the twenty -second year, from the middle of the twenty-second year , i think we need ways to strengthen deterrence, so that deterrence fulfills its task not only in terms of preventing a massive nuclear attack on russia or...

very important people lost their sense of fear, and it may be impossible to return this fear, this is a terrible thought, i’m not sure that this is exactly the situation, but this thought is becoming more and more disturbing to me, and if this were so, then we would find ourselves in path to a head-on collision, because... what for one country, for russia, is a vital interest, for the united states is more of a geopolitical interest, this is prestige, this is control over european allies, and here the united states and its allies can advance too, too far, their next step, it may be a step

into the abyss, and unfortunately, not only the united states may find itself in this abyss, that’s the last thing. the phrase in what we quoted is: thus, excessive restraint in our country can encourage the enemy and lead to a catastrophic head-on collision, again, i fully subscribe to this, but it’s not for me to tell you that if you talk to officials, they will inevitably ask you if you don’t... here this restraint on the russian side, but on the other hand you don’t want a head-on collision, then what exactly can you offer? which on the one hand would be effective, on the other, well, it wouldn’t be reckless, but the concept of deterrence

involves a whole set of activities that are obligated, well not obligated, that’s not the word, that are aimed at making another country, your current enemy, understand the seriousness. we are saying that if nato troops are sent to ukraine, this will seriously

change the nature of the war. a statement could be made, or it could be public, it could be non-public, but it should and can be public, maybe... military action with all the ensuing consequences, that’s what i think

statement might make people think, well this is one example there are many, i think this is a great example, i think this is a great example because i don't see the possibility of instilling a feeling. i don’t know, you can call it fear , you could say, healthy caution in washington, just to strike at ukrainian territory, and even for russian troops to successfully advance through ukrainian territory, as russian troops are already doing today, because it seems to me , which in general, so far it looks like a fight until the last ukrainian.

it’s not just that you give some specialists, mercenaries, you introduce regular units that take part in hostilities, but

now we are talking more and more about space, we are talking more and more about aviation, we are talking more and more about long-range missiles, we are increasingly we are talking about drones, so if the country is hypothetically... and let's call this country the united states, if the country provides all this to ukraine, if without help, without direct intervention, as it seems to me, the united states, ukraine could not would carry out all these offensive actions, then couldn’t this be considered the moral equivalent of intervention, that is, in these words, so i ask you. if ukraine sends a group of saboteurs to blow up the crimean bridge, but then it will be possible to say that this is an intervention, because a detachment

of saboteurs has arrived, and if they strike. high-level officials have repeatedly warned the west about the dangers of the action. they don't heed these words. well, as you yourself said, they perceive them as empty horror stories. yes, that means that under these conditions could it be done? again, as an example, you named drones, which create big problems for the russian,

for... russian armed forces, for example, in the region in the black sea. we know the attacks that were carried out on russian ships, we know who is behind these attacks, whose intelligence provides the coordinates, and so on. and who is behind these attacks? united states of america and nato countries. under these conditions, it would be possible, i say purely hypothetically, to declare a certain region. adjacent to the crimea, a certain part of the black sea, attracting the crimea to the russian to the russian coast, the northern caucasus, a no-fly zone, and those drones that will be in this zone will be subject to destruction,

drones at the next stage may... will have, in my opinion, a deterrent value. we're leaving for advertising, we'll be back in just a few minutes. it is not for nothing that crimea is considered the cradle of russian orthodoxy; here, 2.0 years ago , apostle andrew, the saint, began his journey through the future russian lands patron of our country. we know that he was a fisherman, we know that he was one of

the closest and beloved disciples of christ. he was not small, but tall. bravo. there cannot be a last judgment until all nations know about christ, so someone must reach the ends of the universe and preach christ , including as a scythian. this is actually the thread that has connected us since the 2nd century, because the scythians lived on our territory. andrew, peter dedicates the order, apostle andrew is our patron, the apostle stood on a high stone, prayed from the dedication of the people khersanessky, and the stone became like wax, and his feet were imprinted on the stone. why is st. andrew's cross a symbolic name because it resembles the letter x. christ. he was crucified on just such a cross. this is the letter x, such a banner, such across the whole country, which christ accuses and which the faith of the apostle andrew the first-called accuses. andrew the first-called. premiere on saturday on the first.

big on air. do you know what a gigantic military budget the united states has, now they are planning almost 900 billion dollars, if i i’m not mistaken, a little less, and a significant part of this budget is due to the fact that the united states has a huge number of military bases on foreign territory, on the one hand, these bases are built by the united states. a truly unrivaled global military power, on the other hand, does not make the united states uniquely vulnerable because many of these bases are located in or close to territory where, let's say, they are not very welcome, but one example we are well aware of is of course

the kussites, they are already trying to strike at american...

some kind of revision is overdue, what is russia ready to do with those forces and with those countries that want russian help in confronting the united states? i think that the situation can develop in this direction, but i also think that at this stage, where we are now, the main task of the russian policy of containment.

not the most likely scenario, the fear of nuclear war has largely subsided, but the desire to commit suicide is not visible among europeans. achieving a military balance in conventional weapons with by the entire nato bloc - an impossible task, and, as the experience of the soviet union has shown, destructive for the economy. we need to go further, strengthening strategic deterrence, making it active and preventive, that is, preventing catastrophic developments . russia's main adversary must realize that its own assets are already in europe. in the risk zone, when i say that courage was required here, i mean your statement, with which i completely agree, achieving a military balance in conventional weapons with the entire bloc

nato, the task is not to rise.
