Speaker A

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. How much does a kilogram of apples cost here, or, say, in Rostov? It's probably cheaper in Rostov because it’s easier to produce there and you don’t have to transport it anywhere; it's local. But overall, we don't even have enough apples. We need to think about this and work on it properly.

Speaker A

Well, we need to wait a little longer, guys. You understand, 27 years of leading a country that doesn't even have enough of its own apples. Well, you understand, it's a work in progress, guys. So we'll endure, we'll stand united.

Speaker A

Everything is fine, Vladimir Vladimirovich, we are ready to endure as long as necessary. Now we will analyze the statement of our dearly beloved president, but I cannot fail to mention how brilliantly Nikolai Bondarenko performed in the debate. Uh,

Speaker A

I've already said that I’m planning to hold full-length streams, maybe two or three hours long, like my other colleagues do. There is just so much happening, it's simply impossible. We put out three videos a day, plus four regional videos a day. And even that is

Speaker A

not enough. And here you go. Yes, I considered Pyotr Tolstoy one of the most reasonable representatives of United Russia. After this, I'm like, that’s it, sorry, Pyotr, all the best to you.

Speaker A

The answer. And the third, well, taxes, optimization, oh, healthcare reform. And third, well, for example, I can give you the laws on how all our signs and names must be in the Russian language.

Speaker A

People didn't get richer from this. Poverty hasn't been defeated, the depopulation hasn't stopped, but you stopped feeling like a colony. When the names of all kinds of brands, signs, cafes, restaurants, and shops on your streets were in foreign languages, you

Speaker A

felt like a colony. After the law was passed, you stopped feeling like a colony. This is Pyotr Tolstoy speaking, one of the most popular, almost "man-of-the-people" United Russia deputies. Nikolai, my respects. He tore into United Russia like few others can.

Speaker A

Our elections are doing their best to turn into some kind of—I don't want to offend anyone—mess. Remember the voting on tree stumps? Well, there you go. United Russia canvassers are crisscrossing the country on horseback.

Speaker A

Putin. Results. Year 2026. The revolution of drones and electric vehicles. Self-driving cars, trains moving at the speed of sound, 500 km/h.

Speaker A

And here, canvassers are on some strange contraptions, bicycles, or even horses. What kind of machine is this? I don't understand it at all. Comrades, let's go to the polls, vote for reasonable people, not for United Russia. One more topic that I cannot

Speaker A

pass by. Vladimir Putin stated that schoolchildren must not be forcibly pushed out of tenth grade. The president stressed the need to create conditions for training specialists the economy actually needs. Commenting on reports of complaints regarding obstacles to entering senior grades,

Speaker A

Putin called Moscow's school system a benchmark. You said people in Moscow are complaining. Nevertheless, I will talk to Sobyanin. He needs to pay attention to these issues, because, damn it, seriously. Putin hadn't known about any of this. By the way, this

Speaker A

didn't start this year; it started last year. This year it has simply gotten worse. Students aren't being allowed to finish school; they're pushed to factories, the front, or to have children. What higher education, what tenth or eleventh grade? Get a quick

Speaker A

degree as an assistant economist or deputy lawyer and go to work. Manual labor is needed. Nobody will be hired to work in their actual profession, of course. Everyone will be hired as store clerks or delivery drivers. And to go

Speaker A

to the front. Putin didn't know. Putin was unaware. It was only at the Eastern Economic Forum, held on the other side of the country in Primorye, in Vladivostok, on Russky Island. Only there was he asked the question. It

Speaker A

turns out the country is in an uproar. The country was in an uproar over the Unified State Exam and university admissions. The country was in an uproar, and Putin probably wasn't aware of how our animals were being slaughtered. Yes, unaware. It’s just

Speaker A

not interesting. Well, he heard something about the gasoline shortage, I guess. Well, thank God for that, at least something. Vladimir Vladimirovich knows. This isn't a question about Moscow. Sobyanin is just one of the participants in the process. Our

Speaker A

Minister of Education, Kravtsov, immediately chimed in. There will be no artificial pushing of students out of school after the ninth grade if there are no spots available. Regional and municipal authorities are required to find a spot for the child in another

Speaker A

accessible school. Hey, why didn't you say that back in May or June? It's all over now, the ship has sailed. Where were you earlier? Silent. Putin knows nothing, and the ministers don't care.

Speaker A

It’s up to you parents and kids to sort out your own problems. The state owes you nothing. We didn't ask you to give birth. Ekaterina Mizulina suddenly puts together a huge collection of what is happening with school schedules.

Speaker A

Ekaterina Mizulina, good evening. Look, Monday, nine lessons; Tuesday, nine lessons; Wednesday, eight lessons. Thursday, nine lessons. Friday, seven lessons. What, what a relief. Just seven lessons once a week. So, a bunch of complaints about how many lessons have been scheduled for the children.

Speaker A

Today, we were shown a schedule with seven lessons every day except Monday for the eighth grade. On Monday, there are eight lessons. Ekaterina Mikhailovna, Tomsk. Seven lessons a day in the sixth grade, while SanPiN standards say no more than six. My

Speaker A

regular subscribers know this problem perfectly well. I've already worn my tongue out talking about it all the time. We talk and talk and talk. And do you know what the joke is? The Ministry of Education established the maximum

Speaker A

study load for students just two weeks ago. For first graders no more than four lessons, for high schoolers seven lessons. Seven lessons is the maximum.

Speaker A

And my regular subscribers, and I hope you will subscribe now too, will know what they are doing and what our moronic officials have come up with.

Speaker A

What don't they understand? Neither Putin nor Kravtsov. Note that "Conversations about Important Things" is not a lesson, it's an extracurricular activity. No, you are required to be there, so you'll have nine lessons. But it's not a lesson.

Speaker A

But it is an activity. Lesson or not a lesson, not an explosion, but a "pop." Not a fire, but "smoke." Not an economic collapse, not a crisis, but "negative growth." Everything is fine, guys, it's fine. Look, extracurricular

Speaker A

math is an after-school activity, an extracurricular class, right? Meaning it's an additional class, and you are required to be there. Perhaps parents even pay extra for it. It actually happens differently in different regions. Maybe you even pay for it. In

Speaker A

the end, you have nine lessons. No, for your health it's all over. Kids who are under such overload will lose their minds, their metabolism will fail, they won't have any energy left for homework, and accordingly, the entire logic of

Speaker A

the learning process breaks down without repetition. Repetition is the mother of learning, there is no repetition. That's it, forget about repetition. And kids feel that something in their life is going wrong, they have depression, they sit on their

Speaker A

phones until midnight just to somehow, somehow feel, ah, feel some kind of life. Because if you finished your homework at 9:00 PM, and you still want to live a little, talk to friends, go for a walk, and so there it is,

Speaker A

late-night hangouts, your sleep schedule is broken, and in the end, we have disabled kids coming out of school on a massive scale. But the minister is doing just fine. And Putin is doing great. Well done, guys. September 3rd,

Speaker A

fourth, fifth, first. Everything, everything is good, guys, everything is normal. So, massive criticism from all sides is flying at our beloved president regarding terrorists.

Speaker A

Terrorists from a neighbo

Speaker A

Terrorists from a neighboring state. Well, that's a claim of terrorism. It's not yet a transition to terrorism. And if it comes to that, we'll see how to respond.

Speaker A

It's not terrorism yet. There. Vladimir Vladimirovich stated in his previous speech that Ukraine is approaching terrorism, but it isn't quite terrorism yet, though there are nuances. Just now in Engels, Saratov Region, a long-range aviation general, the commander of the

Speaker A

22nd Guards Heavy Bomber Aviation Division of the Russian Aerospace Forces, was shot. Another attack, sabotage, a terrorist act, call it what you want. Not quite. Yes, that’s not it. This is not counting all the other stories I mentioned in just my last

Speaker A

video. Alright. Putin himself a month ago. That a number of factors affect economic growth rates, including external pressure and terrorist attacks on industrial and infrastructure facilities.

Speaker A

This is a direct quote from Putin, our president. Thanks to Shariy for a competent little memory pill. Comrades, once again, Putin's words. Ukraine is carrying out terrorist strikes. A month has passed, very little time. Well no, this isn't terrorism yet. No, I changed

Speaker A

my mind. I changed my mind. How can anyone believe such reasoning, such words at all? Did you know that 90%of all global electronics production is concentrated in China? And the Tyumen brand Casuru is no exception. So why is

Speaker A

it written on Casuru boxes that it was created in Tyumen? In Tyumen, engineers design the features of CASGuru devices and test the samples. Head of Guru Vadim Bokov personally oversees the development, creating a high-quality product at an affordable price. And now

Speaker A

, the Tyumen team isn't hiking up prices; they are holding a tool sale. The universal Tyumen tool KSGuru is suitable for house and garage work and full-scale repairs. The Guru three-in-one drill performs the functions of a drill, a hammer drill,

Speaker A

and a screwdriver. Record-breaking versatility. The CaseGuru drill kit comes with 75 attachments and two batteries. Record-breaking package.

Speaker A

None of the analogs have anything like this. The Tyumen screwdriver Guru has a brushless motor. Service life of over 10 years. And here is a new arrival.

Speaker A

The Tyumen cordless angle grinder CASGuru Bolgarin. Record-breaking power , just like a corded tool. It cuts rebar without overheating. The Bolgarin angle grinder has record-breaking safety. Seven protection systems minimize the risk of workplace injuries and defects. Large drills are

Speaker A

inconvenient to use in a narrow cabinet . But another KGuru novelty handles that easily. The cordless mini-drill, screwdriver, the "Cricket." The " Cricket" with a brushless motor and a metal chuck doesn't loosen or wobble from constant use. Scan the QR code or

Speaker A

follow the link in the description. Order KSGuru tools at a reasonable price. Use my promo code Pavel2609 for a discount of up to 1,000 rubles. We will talk about this now, especially since there are many disputes going on

Speaker A

about whether there will be a new mobilization or not. In your opinion, does at least a minimal prospect for peace negotiations, constructive peace negotiations—not empty ones— regarding the Ukrainian conflict exist at this time? Because the American side seems to be saying, "We are ready." But

Speaker A

only after everything has already been agreed upon by someone, as if without their participation. Mr. Benn also said : "We are ready for economic cooperation, but only after you reach an agreement on Ukraine." Perhaps something is happening at the moment.

Speaker A

Thank you. Isn't that the right approach? I believe it is the right one. Russia and Ukraine must be the first to reach an agreement, and all other countries are ready to support and help. And not just the United States, but also the

Speaker A

countries present here. The People's Republic of China, for example, also constantly draws attention to this and is doing everything possible to ensure the problem is solved, primarily through peaceful means. And Chairman Xi Jinping, when we meet with him, also

Speaker A

constantly raises this issue. But ultimately, and above all, this problem must be solved by the countries involved in the conflict. That is Russia and Ukraine. This approach is correct. But we are grateful to everyone who is trying to contribute to

Speaker A

the settlement of this issue. Are there any chances? In my opinion, yes, there are.

Speaker A

Did I hear correctly that Putin is ready for negotiations with Zelensky, or did I misunderstand something?

Speaker A

Actually, Ukraine should formally be represented by another person. According to their laws and constitution, which are of course being trampled upon, no one cares, and even Russia doesn't care about that.

Speaker A

Zelensky's term has expired. Currently, the formal, legitimate head of the Ukrainian state is the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. His last name is not Zelensky. Who is it, Stefanchuk or something? He should be the one negotiating, but no, we are

Speaker A

preparing to negotiate with Zelensky himself, perhaps we already are. I don't know how else to interpret this.

Speaker A

Perhaps we are negotiating, everything is fine or not fine. What is the logic? What? Why are we meeting with the Americans then? If you have any theories, write them in the comments.

Speaker A

But the fact is that I hear a great number of speculations on this matter.

Speaker A

And these are just guesses, you understand? Anyone who tells you they know exactly everything, what, how, where, and why. No, guys, that's not how it works in Russia. We have different elite groups, even at the very top they are different. Even if

Speaker A

you were told in deep secrecy the plans of one of these groups, you don't know the plans of the others; perhaps you guess, but more likely not. As for the relationship with our Russian business, it is built on a stable, good

Speaker A

foundation. Yes, we know, we are in constant contact with our colleagues, some of whom are in this room and are represented here. We understand what the key rate hike is and what it is related to. We understand how this...

Speaker A

Wait, Vladimir Vladimirovich, wait. About a year, just think, a year such heavyweights of Russian politics as the head of Rosneft, Sechin, and the head of Rostec, Chemezov—both are old friends of Putin. And various oligarchs , like Deripaska and Gref, the

Speaker A

mastodons of Russian politics, have been saying and continue to say: "We need to lower the rate, we need to lower the rate." Putin himself, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum early this summer, said: "We see the dynamics, we can count on an

Speaker A

accelerated rate cut." But Nabiullina says: "No, here's 0.25—that's the smallest rate cut that could possibly exist." It barely plays any role at all . It is so high that a quarter of a percent is not even felt. What,

Speaker A

Vladimir Vladimirovich, did you change your tune? Now it turns out you yourself are not against this key rate hike. And what is that? And what happened?

Speaker A

The entire economy is operating under these conditions. I want to repeat once again that this is a conscious decision . linked to maintaining macroeconomic stability. And if we don't achieve this then...

Speaker A

what is included in this macroeconomic stability? Vladimir Vladimirovich, according to the constitution, and you are the guarantor of the constitution, you are the guarantor. I am not the guarantor of the constitution, I am just worried, but you are the guarantor

Speaker A

. The guarantor of the constitution. According to the constitution, the Central Bank is obligated to ensure the stability of the national currency's exchange rate. A year ago, the dollar was at what? 65 rubles. Now we are approaching, crawling toward a hundred.

Speaker A

It's already 90, yes, rubles to the dollar. We have fallen by a factor of one and a half. And who was responsible for this? Who faced any kind of accountability? Nabiullina suits you.

Speaker A

Vladimir Vladimirovich, the guarantor of the constitution is not interested in what is happening with the ruble rate, which is enshrined in the constitution. Everything suits us. We believe that this is stability. The dollar-to-ruble rate: 80, 120, 60, 90,

Speaker A

65, 100, back and forth, plus or minus 50%. It's fine. It's fine. This is stability, guys. This is stability.

Speaker A

There can be no talk of any investment whatsoever. We must solve this problem. Macroeconomic stability. And as I already said, we had double-digit inflation figures there. But just your guess, friends, your guess, your version. Does Putin know about how

Speaker A

billions of dollars are leaking out of the country all this time, while we talk about patriotism, sovereignty, and consolidation, as money is siphoned off through tax schemes, cryptocurrencies, and offshore schemes? Just your version : does Vladimir Vladimirovich, President of the Russian Federation,

Speaker A

know about the record outflow of finances from Russia? Well, just your opinion. What kind of investment projects can there be if inflation is expressed in double digits? No, that is impossible.

Speaker A

Yes, the key rate rose in the first stage, it is decreasing—6.3%, as I said. So these conditions are gradually , gradually normalizing. So, I didn't quite catch that, Vladimir Vladimirovich, are you suggesting that investment projects depend most of all

Speaker A

on the key rate? Oh, excuse me, that they depend on inflation? That is, of course, quite a new word in economics.

Speaker A

Well, I mean, look, I take out a bank loan, and I use that loan to build a factory. When I started building the factory, I intended to sell, I don't know, underwear and socks for, say, 50 rubles. I see that inflation is high.

Speaker A

I'll sell the underwear and socks for 100 rubles. Oh, prices have gone up even more. I'll sell them for 150 rubles. People who have factories, apartments, ports, planes, and ships instead of bags of cash—things that generate profit—they don't worry

Speaker A

about inflation, but a high key rate makes it impossible to take out any loan. What was that? I mean, in general , I know the representatives of industry, how they think, what they talk about, what concerns them. I know

Speaker A

what the representatives of the financial sector are talking about. Many believe that the government and the Central Bank regulator are overdoing it a bit with overdoing it a bit, just a tiny little bit, just a smidge, just a tiny bit,

Speaker A

yes. Growth over the last six months is 0%. Zero. Do you understand, Vladimir Vladimirovich? Not 2%, not 4%, despite the colossal injections into the military-industrial complex, which are also counted—zero.

Speaker A

Which is linked to over-regulation, that it’s time, it’s high time to move to a softer monetary policy. Well, on the whole, our situation is stable.

Speaker A

On the whole, the situation is stable. The graveyard has the most stable situation; you know, in the graveyard, nobody dies, nobody gets sick. It's so stable in the graveyard. Well, if stability is the main thing for us, while we ignore, for example, the

Speaker A

collapse of the ruble exchange rate. It’s just a level of that many couldn't even dream of, where you can pull any perspective out of thin air on any issue. And there are spots on the sun, which means it’s

Speaker A

practically black, dark, and doesn't shine. And in a black hole, there is, you know, radiation in different parts of the spectrum. So, it’s shining.

Speaker A

It's fine, guys, nothing to worry about , don't pay any attention to it. Well, I can't help but ask about the outlook for people's savings. They've already broken through the 70 trillion ceiling, I mean individual deposits, and legal entities are also breaking

Speaker A

records. And we regularly have to tell and answer citizens regarding what to do with all of this. Of course, and answer the question: won't there be a freeze? A what? Sorry, it's a constant, regular story that keeps coming back to

Speaker A

us in waves. I cannot help but ask you about it. Should we expect it or not?

Speaker A

These are just, you know, just some rumors, by the way, quite stupid ones. Why? Because even in 2022, when people had certain anxieties related to the well-known events, and many depositors went to banks to withdraw their funds, even then, our banks, in an absolutely

Speaker A

calm and routine manner, gave depositors everything they demanded. And then it all quickly stopped and the money returned. As for today's savings, it's also clear what this is connected to. Rates, as I have explained many times, in fact

Speaker A

, if the Kremlin wants to take your money, there are an insane number of ways to do it. For example, the dollar is at 80 or 90 now, it’ll be at 95, or you’ll have a dollar at 200, which

Speaker A

means your rubles will lose half their value. Believe me, the state will find a way to manage that, how to profit from it. You will be working for rubles , while the state will be making money on oil, gas, aluminum, and gold. And it

Speaker A

will be dollars, yuan, rupees, euros. And the state will have a full treasury , while you’ll be left with nothing to eat. Therefore, seizing deposits, some kind of freeze, partial freeze— all these rumors that Vladimir Vladimirovich complains about, where do

Speaker A

they actually come from? From the fact that the people don’t trust you, Vladimir Vladimirovich. All these rumors and fakes that stir up the people depend on the fact that we have been lied to so many times. And if you

Speaker A

think it's normal to negotiate with those who deceive you, trick you, twist you around their finger, cheat you—oh my, how could that be? Well, we think that’s somehow dishonorable. And from you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, personally , people expect exactly that—that you

Speaker A

are simply lying. I believe that in current conditions, as I explained in the previous video, there will be no freezing of deposits and no new mobilization right now. Since Putin is speaking about this firmly and clearly, then for the next six months to a year,

Speaker A

either we will see a new successor in a year, and Putin will say, "I'm tired, I'm leaving," because this is, well, a total reset. Or Putin will indeed stay until 2030, and this nightmare will not happen right now, at this very moment.

Speaker A

Peskov, Solovyov, Gref, I don’t know, Volodin, they can say whatever they want, they can take on any responsibility. But such highly sensitive moments are usually not associated with Putin. I recalled earlier, the mass slaughter of livestock. Putin distanced himself from

Speaker A

that topic. Gasoline shortages. Putin remained silent about it for the first two months. Putin is separate, the problem is separate. This is the working style of the Presidential Administration and Vladimir Vladimirovich himself. If it's him making the decisions himself, it's hard

Speaker A

to separate what he does from what his aides do. If Putin says outright that something won't happen, for a time, it won't happen. Many people write to me: "Pavel, didn't he say he wouldn't cancel pension reform?" He said that 10

Speaker A

years before the pension reform actually took place. You see, 10 years passed; it's honestly a different story , in a way. It's unpleasant. And he certainly didn't keep his word as a man back then, which doesn't reflect well

Speaker A

on him. I am not justifying him. I have always been, and always will be, against pension reform. But you understand, after how long? 7, 8, 10 years have passed; those are long periods. A lot can change in that much

Speaker A

time. That is why I am telling you, listen closely. Learn to listen if you want to understand. In the next six months, or more likely a year, there will be no new mobilization or frozen deposits. But that doesn't mean that no

Speaker A

one will head to the front. It will simply take other forms. They will try to persuade you to go to the front, beg you, have you sign a contract. It isn't mobilization; it's not an obligation.

Speaker A

But they will ask very insistently, very insistently. They will fire you and say: "You can't earn money anywhere else. You have children to feed, so go to the front." Yes, in that sort of manner, quite easily. They won't freeze

Speaker A

deposits, but they might just devalue the ruble by two or three times. Well, sorry, prices will triple, but they didn't seize your savings. You had 15 million rubles there. You could buy an apartment in Moscow. But now you can

Speaker A

only buy an apartment for 40 million. Well, sorry, sorry, we didn't ask you to give birth.

Speaker A

Important people are bringing money to the banks, that's all. So, rates will be lower, the situation will change, including for participants in economic activity. We both understand all of this very well. That is exactly how it will all work. And I am confident it

Speaker A

will work out positively. In fact, by the very way Putin speaks at the Bishkek forum, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and this Eastern Economic Forum, it is clear he had a great talk with the CIA director. They offered him

Speaker A

some excellent prospects, all in all. He is very confident, he is very satisfied. I don’t know how adequate the information we—or he—have is regarding what is actually happening on the front, but Putin intends to end the "Special Military Operation" in the

Speaker A

near future; some sanctions will start to be lifted—maybe not European ones, but American ones—and that will— immediately automatically—cause money to flood into the country, and everything will be much wealthier than it has been for a long time. How

Speaker A

realistic is that? Or is he being deceived again? I don’t know to what extent it will be possible to liberate the Donbas and conclude some kind of peace with Ukraine; I don't know if anyone knows for sure. Well, guys,

Speaker A

I’d be willing to give you half my income for accurate forecasts. Just provide me with information. I haven’t come across a single channel that can predict anything with complete accuracy.

Speaker A

There are topics that constantly circulate in the media space, some are reliable, some are part of an information war, and so on. I can't help but ask about the prospects of mobilization once again. I will take the liberty of quoting you; when else

Speaker A

would I get to do this from such a stage? Utter nonsense and an information attack on Russia. But do we really have enough fighters, and do you allow for the possibility of conducting mobilization? If so, under what scenario?

Speaker A

There is no such scenario today that would require mobilization. This is an information attack by the enemy on the eve of the elections.

Speaker A

Even more firmly, even more clearly. Uh , is Putin being a bit disingenuous, or is he not in the loop? You see, I have to keep making disclaimers here all the time. I don’t understand what is going on there in the Kremlin and so on

Speaker A

. Talk about a new mobilization has been going on for 4 years. That is, the SMO started, six months later the partial mobilization began in the fall, around September, if I remember correctly, in 2 weeks we will be

Speaker A

remembering the anniversary of those events. In November it was already announced that they had recruited everyone they wanted, everyone relaxed, and immediately rumors started: " Oh-oh-oh, right after the New Year, after the new 2023 year. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh ! That’s it, after the New Year now

Speaker A

there will be these holidays. After the holidays, mobilization will start again ." And all this time, for several years , it has been constantly pushed that there will be mobilization, there will be mobilization, there will be. We have

Speaker A

discussed all this with you, how likely , how unlikely. A Putin speaks confidently that he has everything under control. What is the point of lying, saying that there is no probability at all, only two options. I see only two options. Either Putin

Speaker A

truly believes this, and there really won't be any freezing of deposits or mobilization, or he is prepared to sacrifice the remnants of his authority and popularity, for those who still believe in him, but that will only work if, following the Yeltsin model, he is

Speaker A

about to present his successor. All the negativity. The failed Chechen war, default, economic crisis. Oh, I am tired, I am leaving. Here is my successor. Watch him. Well, I don't see any other options, logically speaking.

Speaker A

The State Duma with an attempt to influence the results. As for this, it’s just Vladimir Vladimirovich, how could this affect the outcome of the State Duma elections? I mean, will people get scared of new mobilization and go vote

Speaker A

for whom? For the New People, for the LDPR, for the CPRF? Well, how would this affect the election results? What does he mean? Do we have any party that can openly speak out against new mobilization? No. It sounds extremely

Speaker A

strange. A conceived information operation. Our people, as is known, voluntarily sign contracts, unlike what is done in Ukraine. As is known, we see every day on TV and on the internet how in Ukraine they hunt people down like

Speaker A

stray dogs and drag them to the front by force. I want to note that there is a very big problem. Many people sign a contract because they were promised good money.

Speaker A

I mean, a guy works, makes 50,000, and they tell him: "Listen, you’ll be making 300,000." He says: "No, I won’t quit, my wife won't understand, my mother will be worried. That’s it, let's just say you had no choice and so

Speaker A

on." I also receive letters saying: " Pavel, they grabbed him, kidnapped him, forced him to sign." I say: "What do you mean forced to sign?""He signed it himself.""Well yes, he signed it, but he was forced, talked into it.""Fine,

Speaker A

can he get in touch himself?""No, he can't." And there have already been several dozen such cases where people write to me saying: "Pavel, let's..." I say, let the mobilized contractor himself come forward, let him get in touch. They almost never get in touch.

Speaker A

There were cases when people were receiving poor medical care and we helped. There were people, well, I won't go into details, I wrote something on Telegram, something...so as not to discredit the armed forces, I won't tell. There are all sorts of

Speaker A

things, there's plenty of crap, but the guys just want to earn money. They are going to the front for the money, which is actually a grievance against Putin.

Speaker A

He promised to create high-productivity jobs. How many was it? 20 million jobs. Yes, they still haven't appeared to this day. They were supposed to appear 10 years ago. Men go, and lie to their families that they simply had no choice

Speaker A

. "But you understand, Masha, they forced me, otherwise, well, otherwise I'd be nothing." Well, that's how we live, guys.

Speaker A

We've started having our first child like in Western Europe. A woman considers it possible and appropriate to have her first child at around 29.

Speaker A

And by the time they get one child on their feet, they don't have the energy for a second, you know? Therefore Vladimir Vladimirovich, what does it mean to "get a child on their feet"? It means a woman gives birth to her first

Speaker A

child at 29, and then she still has to get it on its feet. But why, Vladimir Vladimirovich? She had one, let her have a second, third, fourth right after. Whoops, whoops. What, it’s not working out? It turns out you actually

Speaker A

need money for kids, housing, a kindergarten—which are in short supply—and school, which, excuse me, hasn't been free for a long time.

Speaker A

Vladimir Vladimirovich is sure the issue is just that women need a little bit of sense knocked into them, and everything will be fine.

Speaker A

A lot needs to be done here in terms of consciousness, in the public consciousness, in the entire state policy, and information policy.

Speaker A

Now, I like this. Vladimir Vladimirovich, who exactly is supposed to do this "entire state policy"? When are you planning to do it? 27 years wasn't enough to change anything in the state's entire policy. Listen, honestly , I listen to this and I just don't

Speaker A

know whether to laugh or cry. I mean, I didn't just decide right away that I would drop school and be a blogger here on the internet. I talked to different people. At one point, I met people from the Ministry of Education back then. It

Speaker A

wasn't called the Ministry of Enlightenment yet, it was the Ministry of Education. I asked them all these questions: "Can one influence this, or that?" And they all told me: "Listen, are you kidding me? No one gives a damn

Speaker A

about anything. It's all an imitation of activity, it's all for show, it's all just looting the budget." I didn't really understand it back then. Once I became a blogger and started following the news more and more, I started to

Speaker A

understand. I realize that is exactly how it is. There are millions of young people who want to learn, contribute, and do something for their homeland, but no one gives a damn about them.

Speaker A

These people are simply not needed. They are getting in the way of respected people doing their business, the great and wonderful business of United Russia members. And Putin comes out and says, "Well, the main thing is to set our women's brains straight, let

Speaker A

them give birth more, and so on.""This is a very large and complex set of issues.""Demographics is generally such a thing, it's something on the verge of science and art.""Therefore, to determine,"" demographics is something on the verge of science and art."

Speaker A

No, well, if you think that governing a state can be like an art form, then it's clear why everything is so bad.

Speaker A

This is Golikova, who has been responsible for social policy there for 15 years already. It was Golikova who came up with the idea that our demographics are at the level of, heh, art. It's just whatever God decides.

Speaker A

Significant and effective points. "We certainly need to work together, but we know very well that in a post-industrial society the birth rate is low, and in countries with a relatively poor population, it is high.

Speaker A

" So what? Where is the answer? A direct answer. Yes, that's true. And poor countries are not post-industrial societies.

Speaker A

Vladimir Vladimirovich, do you think India is not a post-industrial society? And what kind of society is it then? It is not a post-industrial society. The fact is that this is developed capitalism. This is the logic of a system's development from which a

Speaker A

socialist alternative has been removed. As for our contacts with the American administration, they are continuing. We are in contact with the American administration, and we are still in contact even now. And I hope these contacts will continue. We are in favor

Speaker A

of restoring relations with the Sleepy States in a full-format mode. We fought so diligently against NATO and the satanic West and all this Iblis . that we are ready to rush into their arms at any moment. The fact that the

Speaker A

Americans have been supplying weapons, shells, and technologies, and continue to supply Kiev, these are trifles.

Speaker A

Well, it doesn't just depend on us, it depends on the American side. And actually, I even think we will stop at this point. In a sense, this is good . There are people who say that bloodthirsty, deranged people sit in

Speaker A

the Kremlin who are not ready to negotiate. These are people whom I would rather reproach for being illogical and inconsistent; you want some systematic work, you know, orderly . But if they are simply incompetent, but still ready to negotiate, that is

Speaker A

still a slightly different picture. Putin is ready to negotiate with the scary NATO even after everything that has happened. So, guys, there is a chance for peace negotiations and the conclusion of a long-term peace. There is also a chance for the appearance of

Speaker A

some successors, but that is a rather scary option because Vladimir Vladimirovich will say he is tired and leaving if things get really bad. Draw your own conclusions, make your own guesses in the comments, take care of yourselves. See you next time. Yeah.
