  116. It's very simple and very complex. The si.9le truth is that if you work hard and live honestly, you can achieve anything: the sky is the limit. This is what has been happening in the U.S. football centuries. Even today, there are about 12-13 million millionaires (excluding the home) in the U.S. The vast majority of them are teachers, fire-fighyers, nurses, librarians... The complete part is the culture. Your culture does not provide for UPWARD MOBILITY. Having observed that, you concluded that meritocracy does not exist, confusing it thus with the lack of upward mobility. Just think about it: the Swedes are more successful in the U.S. than in Sweden, Brits more than in Brittain, Italians more than in Italy. It is the same people, all they have is upward mobility and lack it in their native counties. Keep in mind also that wealth is totally lost in the U.S. within three generations on average. There is thus downward mobility for spoiled brats. You are also fed wring data. In Denmark, you moved considerably up by moving from $40000 to $70000 because that's were the percentile are. So dishonest people use percentile to prove that socialism works. You hardly move in Danmark at all because incomes are within a very narrow range. Try to make 1 million or 10 millions in Danmark. One way or another -- cultural norms and especially taxation -- make thate nearly impossible. When I say "you can make it" I don't mean only money. You are also more likely to become a successful scientist or an artist, too. Finally, they never tell you that the first meritocratic country in Europe was... Turkey, the Osman Emirie. Meritocracy made it powerful and invincible for over 600 years. So the hard part is to increase upward mobility in your country. You are up entrenched cultural norms and the legal system. What meritocracy is and whether it is useful and fair is easy: it has worked very well wherever it was tried.

  219. Russia died twice in the 20th century and both times from natural causes. You don't see that only because of the inbread, centuries-old, unfounded notion of Russian supremacy. Russia, which in reality is still a remnant of the 16th century, is so powerful that it cannot die a natural death or in battle. Someone very shrewd must have tricked the good-hearted Russians. The list of candidates is always at hand: the Mongols, the Germans, the Americans, the Ukrainians, the Jews --- oh yeh, always the Jews who are right there to trick us, pure and innocent but naive Chistians. This time it is the tsaritsa, who appears to have fallen in love with a spoiled moron (a person with arrested development). Instead of losing her love upon discovering that Nikolay refuses to grow up, as most women would do, she tried to help him to become a man. In the Russian mind, she is a conspirator against Russia --- she is German, you know. Rasputin had too much power? That is not the question one should be asking. The question is, What kind of a system is so vulnerable to the influence of a single man? The answer is very clear: the system of absolute monarchy, which outlived itself in the West centuries earlier but was preserved as a corpse in Russia well into the 20th century. That corpse fell under its own weigh, nobody pushed it down. That Russia which the corpse represented had been dead for a long time. Nobody has killed it. But the Russian mind is so full of itself that it cannot admit to itself that it still lives in the 16th century. There must've been a conspiracy. And voilà, here comes the explanation: Russia was ruled by the Germans. So were the Brits, the French, the Napoletani, and somehow it all worked out pretty well. But to the racist Russian mind (and a painter Adolf, with whom agree completely ), it's all about the molecules of blood. Only you think that a person with Germanic blood cannot be loyal to Russia. And that is because you yourselves are not loyal to anybody. The object of your loyalty is "the Russian soil" --- dirt in other words --- but you hate with fervor the fellow Russians wgo live on that soil. The corpse "Russian empire" was replaced with socialism, a system that was dead at birth. It too became a corpse by late 60s (it would've happened earlier if not for the war). That corpse fell in 1990s under its own weight. You do the same search for conspiracy now: someone must've brought that powerful country, so full of life and outhouses, so productive it couldn't supply panties to women -- someone must have bought it down. So you blame the Americans, who actually gave you free of charge the knowledge they have accumulated over the centuries. But you were unable even to swallow the food that was already in your mouth. Your job is even easier now: a dozen names associated with 1990s are Jewish. There you go! That explains everything. Thank G-d Rasputin was not a Jew -- can you imagine what you would be saying now. That wouldn't be pissible, of course, in perpetually anti-Semitic Russia. That imbecil child Nikolay had considerable strength in one area: his hatred of the Jews. Nothing will change in Russia until you stop looking for conspiracies and look at yourselves. To drink ( "svyatoye delo" ) is sacred inly in Russia. Every time you do, you abandon your wives and children, you are unavailable to them. You complain that two million dollars were found in the apartment of a judge, but who gave them to her if not tens of thousands of you? Breaking law is not only tolerated but respected --- only getting caught is considered supid. When were you last tolerant to the habits and opinions of your neighbors? Stop playing a victim of circumstances, Germaic tsars and Jewish conspiracies. It is YOUR shared values, hardly changed since Ivan the Terrible, that keep you in tyranny and poverty.

  446. I am puzzled by the blame so many commenters place on the government. They are clearly patriots who care about the future of their country. But isn't your government freely elected? I am compelled to conclude that the vast majority of the Brits either support the suicidal immigration pilicies or don't care. The Labour was and remains notoriously anti-Semitic, which alone unites its members and followers with the invaders. Yet the country seems to be in love with that Party. There is not much new here either. I am not sure whether many Brits know that the Labour Party stood for elections in 1930 under the slogan "Planning or bust!" Everyone knew at the time that "planning" was "central planning," so the adjective was omitted. That is central planning, my friends: the party, overtaken by the Fabian Socialists just half a dozen years earlier, wanted Britain to be just like the Soviet Union. Even the socialism that is now practiced in Danmark, Norway, Britain, and Sweden wasn't enough. Communist Russia or bust! Have the Leftists ever repented or been held responsible? Of course not: that would have been a bad form, wouldn't it? All was cheerfully forgotten after the war, but socialism remained. Why are you surprised now, my friends? Socialists always sell out their countries (the only exception was Adolf, but he went to the opposite, abominable extreme). By the very nature of socialism, its followers are expected to be above the silly national boundaries. Driven by "higher" ideals, they eventually open borders or hand over their countries to invaders. Lenin handed Russia over to Germany, European socialists to the EU, and the British, American, German, and Scandinavian leftists opened the borders . Do you really expect that the magic wand of some government official will stop the century-old process of "deBritainization" and suppression of individual liberties? Even if that were possible, wherefrom would such a patriotic magician appear? How big is the pool of candidates in a country so proud of its socialism? How many of YOU, dear commenters, disagree ONLY with the immigration policy and love everything else about the paternalistic government? Well, you cannot pick and choose, becauae the socialist ideology is indivisible at the root and always gives rise to false internationalism (beyrayal of the country). It is YOU. my friends, who have planted that root and watered the tree, now live with its branches. You don't like the branches any longer? Then cut not the branches themselves but the tree at the root, for the branches will be quickly replaced otherwise. Don't be upset, therefore, with your officials. It is an easy way out --- frees you from any responsibily for what is happening in your country. "It's not I, you see, I didn't even vote for him." The problem is not the officials but the suicidal state of the culture, which it reached while your parents and you were sleeping. The problem lies with your neighbors, friends, and colleagues --- and you yourselves, perhaps? The modern, and now dying, notion of liberty was first developed and annunciated on the Septered Isle. It is no longer true, however,, that "when mob or king lays hand too rude for English ways, a wisper wakes, a shudder plays across the reeds of Runnymeed." This trqgic suicide of a great culture is saddening to see. Very saddening indeed.

  614. Commenters here act like entitled spoiled brats. Nobody owes you a job; you have to earn it. There are years when you have more competition as a worker, and the years when you have less. Each has to stay competitive by improving oneself --- workers, business managers, and firms. Having never seen capitalism (what you have now has nothing to do with capitalism, which is first and foremost the rule of law), you still think that government can give you jobs. The only job it can give is slave labor; it is incapable of giving any other for long. The people working on the plants in the Ministry of Invasion make good money now, but only because that money is stolen from other citizens. Only an ignorant, envious idiot can blame businesses: it is businesses that take risks and give you jobs. Some go out of business, and some are born. Im the U.S. about 550000 businesses are created every year, and about as many go bankrupt. You should fear politicians thst are not supportitive of SMALL and MEDIUM-size business. In the U.S. 95% pf people work at firms with 50 or fewer employees. Stop being holops and waiting for some tsar, boyar, or pomeshchik to hand you something. Each of you is in charge of his future. Start by learning how the world works --- not from TV or YouTube but from textbooks. You are free to read whatever you want for one third of a century but remain as ignorant as 100 years ago. Instead of learning, you prefer to hate and just go on witchhunts for the objects of hate -- the Mongols, the Germans, the Americans, the Ukrainians, the Jews, the "oligarchs," the governors. If to listenen to you, everybody but yourselves is guilty; none of you is ever responsible for your failures. How has that worked out throughout the Russian history? Stop looking for excuses and improve yourselves. Otherwise, you will still be using outhouses a century from now.

  638. Like the gueat,Marx was a vicious anti-Semite. Why doesn't the guest tell you to read the lists of Nobel laureates and seek Jewish names there? He gives an interview on the network created by two American Jews (one an emmigrant from the Soviet Union), points to a phone the software for which has been in Israel, hunts for Jewish doctors as soon as he gets sick --- but the Jews are evil in his book. Russia is Nigeria with winter and nuclear weapons. Othrwise, both are the same in the sources of wealth amd the level of development. The same bigotry towards people of different faiths, the same tribalism, the same lawlessness and violence. Similarly, the guest is morally a Neanderthal with a dgree from some renowned institution --- the Universiy of Eastern Kuban' or the equally famous University of Westen Gabbon, perhaps. Only a moron would give weight to Pavlov's views on society, by the way. When are you going to learn that a person like Pavlov is a SPECIALIST in his own field and may know absolutely nothing about other fields. Were Pavlov's views on cosmology or mathematics also valuable? Of cpurse not: he knew nothing about those fields. At the opinions about society he arrived by long periods of gazing at his navel, not by the study of the issues. But I'd a person is famous, he must know, right? Maybe the guest should also tell us what Kirkorov thinks about the history of Ancient Rome. The guest ow a charlatan manipulatimg you. Nothing changes in Russia. The guest and mosy of you hate the Jews only because you hate each other.

  897. When free. going to learn what socialism actually is and stop talking about free education, medical care, and time off after the birth of a child.? You still do know how to count money. An engineer in the Soviet Union produced aervices wrth 500 roubles a month, say. The government paid her 140 roulbles and spent 360 roubles on her hospital stays and her children' education. Were godpitals and education free? Of course not: the government spent the engineer's momey, stole 360 roubles from her when she received "poluchka" and then gave it back in the form of free rducation. That edication was never free. GOVERNMENTS, under any system, DDO NOT CREATE VALUE AND HAVE NO MONEY. The onlu money a government has is YOUR money. Under capitalism, the government reveives money via taxation, which is honest and denated bybthe public. Under socialism, tebgovernemt steels you money andvsoends it the way it wants. True, some of it it givesback in the form of "free" efucation. It is the same as under slavery. A slave produces $500 a monthe, say, and paus nothing for his food, medicines, and shelter. To him too the food, the medical care, and the shelter seem to be free (as was ediucation many slave- owners provided). Like slave, you are longing for "free" education, and medicines, which were never free but stolen from you by your slave,-owning government. The question is whether you want to live as a ftee persoson with dignify or as a slave without rights and dignity. Do you spend the money you earn or let the money be stolen by the government? It is YOUR moneyin both cases. You prefer to be slaves, judging by the constant praise of your Soviet slave-owners. in fact you don 't even know the difference, even 30 yeats afyer being liberated frm slavery. You still believe that the government was giving yoo something. free. When are you going to learn the difference between a slave and a free man? Freed by the tsar 163 years ago, ypu still think like "holops."

  906. It does not appear that you know what capitalism is. Pleaese come to the U.S. some day, walk around, and look at the names on buildings. I challenge you to find a hospital, a center for the performing arts, or a park without a name. Why? Great many parks were private lands in the past and were given bybthe owners to the public. Hospitals often bear the name of rhe person whose money has created those hospitals. Concert halls are named after people whose moneybpays for the buildings and the orchestras. This I'd an old, old Western tradition, especially in the English-speaking countries. The royalty and the aristocracy were raised from childhood with the notion of noblesse oblige, the noble obligation to take care of the ordinary people. This comes from the Bible, actually, and is sacred to the Jews, who repeat the words "you shall take care of the orphan, the widow, and thevstranger in your midst" three times avday and live by those words. Please note, G-d did not say. "you shall Electra good tsar who would take care of the people in need; YOU shall take care of THIS widow, THIS orphan, and THIS stranger, not a class of widows, orpans, and strangers. Russia has not had such a tradition. In the decades before your revolution, the new rich did talk about the people, but they've really motivated by...guilt for having so much, not the sense odlf duty. So they did the best thing they knew --- financed the communists out of guilt. I understand why you may think tjevway you do. It is a mistake, however, to think that thevrest of the world is just as egotistical, drunk, corrupt, and violent as the world around you.

  922. Russia cannot find a solution to its problem because it looks for a silition , as it has always been doing, in the wrong place. What do you do? Mainly two things. First, you argue at the top of your lungs a put the wording of the WRITTEN law and on your rulers. That is what the guest is talking about, how the WRITTEN constitution has failed his expectations. The second, you look for the guilty parties when something goes wrong. Is it the tsar or the boyars? Who is at fault and who shout be hanged or go to prison? And some must always go to prison in Russiq. That is what regular Russians express here post after post. ‐‐------------ But where do rule 8:00 rs come from, what do constitutions reflect? They reflect unwritten, informal law --- CUSTOMS and TRADITIONS of a people, which reflect SHARED VALUES. And you never, never, never look at yourself. You are perfect. You cannot possibly do wrong. If something goes wrong, it is someone else's fault --- the boyars, the oligarchs, the Germans, the Americans, the Ukrainians, the Jews --- oh, always the Jews. And what are those shared values? When were the Russian people law-abiding? When did they not give and receive bribes? When will did they not bow before power? When did they not tolerate ans even love drunkenness? When did Russian men not bea their wives and children until blue? Stealing and corruption have always been the norm in Russia everybody steals and bribes a little . And where everybody steals a little, there are ALWAYS a few people that manage to steal a lot --- why are you surprised? The names change from boyars to "nomenckatura" of the communist party to oligarchs, but those people are the same: it is the people who manage to steal a lot precisely because stealing and bribery are the norm for almost all others. Look at yourselves and stop seeing enemies everywhere. Learn to live honestly, to disagree RESPECTFULLY one with another, to respect and not only love your spouses. In other words, change your unWRITTEN constitution, how you ACTUALLY live. Then, and only then, will the appropriate WRITTEN constitution follow. ------ Now review the video once again and laugg,cry, or both. The guest appears to be a decent, good, and compassionate man. But like the vast majority of your "pilitologs" and media personalities, he attempts to answer totally wrong questions. Stop looking for witches, oligarchs , Americans, and Jews everywhere. Look in the mirror instead.

  1046. Mysterious Russian mind: The topic is economics, the questions are about economics and the economy, but the answers are about... CIA, MI-6, Mosad (Jews are everywhere, you know), the Germans... If not for the foreigers, we Russians would be so wealthy, so happy --- we could even begin to value human life, individuals freedoms, could even learn to respect and maybe even love each other. If we still think and behave like avages, it is because of Tatars and Mongols, Ottomans, German Nazis, Ukrainians, and Jews, of course. You are listening to a person that is not only unable to combine words into a thought but does not even understand the meaning of the words he uses. Right from the start, for example, he defines the word "tolerance" as the opposit of what it means. (Why is it, by the way, that in the last three decades a quarter of Russian words have been replaced by their English counterparts? To what purpose does this ignoramus replace the word "terpimost'" with "tolerantnost'?" You survived the hunger of 1930s and the war because of America help --- your lack of knowledge about that is not excuse today --- and yet you hate Americans with fervor. You type these comments into phones invented by Amwricans , send them via internet invented and given to you as a gift by Americans, and even use their language, but Americans are stupid and evil in your eyes. Who is actually stupid and ungrateful, ladies and gentlemen?) Back to "tolerantnost'." You are tolerant when you don't like what someone is doing and ABLE to stop that action but allow it to continue. For example, you exhibit tolerance to your friend's expression of his views when thoae views are opposite of yours but you continue to discuss them; you CAN he discussions but you do not. You exhibit tolerance to your neighbor's behavior when you allow his loud, disturbing party to continue late at night, although CAN call the police and stop the party. THe ignoramus that speaks in this video and liked by most of you (according to your comments) defines tolerance as... the inability (rather than ability) to stop a threat (rather than merely something different) . That is quintessential Russian mentality for you: every difference is a threat, everything foreign is an enemy (unless, of course, it is iPhones, internet, English words). Never in her history has Russia knenown what tolerance is. That is why you continue to kill each other, blaming for that everyone else, from the Monglols through the Germans and Americans to Jews, the eternal scapegoats. You are never at fault for sledding blood. You should've stopped listening to the ignoramus in this video after he brought up enemi from the start and propagandists against tolerance by falsifying what tolerance is --- from the start, all while speaking about... economics. (He knows NOTHING about eeconomics, by the way, and reveals his ignorance by confusing economics with the "system of management, " as if such existed in application to an economy). When are you going to see charlatans for who they are? When are you going to recognize when someone is lying to you, "veshaetvvam lapshu na yshi?" Anything and everything can be sold to you,no matter how detrimental to your well-being, ad long as it is wrapped in the sweet wrapper of chauvinism. Yore pure and, as part of your purity, simple and even nai; pure people do not and naive people do not know how to do evil; hence all evil comes from foreigners. Only in Russian mind such nonsence appears logical, only in that mind every difference is a threat, and only there tolerance of different people appears as inability to kill them. Keep listening to charlatans without proper high-school education, keep buying chauvinism they sell you, keep singing your favorite song, "Chuzhoy zemli ne otdadim ni pyadi." How is that working out for you?

  1088. The hostess lived in the West, saw it up close, and remained totally blind. "Too Western-edicated to have an opinion .." Who could say that? Only a remarkably stupid person can characterize in one sentence an 800-yrear-old institution --- whether Western Universities or any other. Why is a person even tempted to throw dirt at something. that the entire world has considered for centuries to be pure Sunlight? Hate makes you do that. Do you hate the West because you have never found a home anywhere? And are you so cowardly as not to say that upfront and explain your hate? Just like a 14-year-old mean girl in school, all you can do is plug in some snide remarks like a thief at night. Your defamation also invites a question of the standards by which you judge Western education. It is supposedly so bad --- compareec to what? Princeton, Harvard, and Yale, each of which is older than the United States, fail immediately when compared to which Russian universities? You were eating each other alive and without silverwate at the time. Look who is talking -- the Russians, the keepers of the world civilization. Which word-calibre scientist or academic in general has ever wanted to work in Russsia in the last 225 years? You don't seem to have a heart --- even a cold one -- but have those v8ld cold Quebec winyers frozen out your brains. It saddrns me to follow your line of thinking: you've been betrayed, nobody in your life has ever told how much smarter you'd look if only you didn't say those stupid things out of hate An average viewer of your videos does not ibow much better. It is still his fault as a Christian that he hates the West, but his ignorance is at least some excuse. You have no such excuse whatsoever. Your hate is chosen willfully. Gadkiy utyonok with a microphone. It is not unexpected. --- hate does that to everybody --- but you cannot process even what you read. Wassar is NOT a university and hhas never called itself such. It is a colledge. How dare you speak about a sustem of a centuries-old system of education, of which you know NOTHING about? And you, viewers, press like, make a few pennies for the hater. Nobody is more respected in Russia than the haters. Keep listening to and believing anti-Western propaganda -- see if your hate will make govno in which you live smell any better.

  1128. So many irrelevant details, and misrepresented esesnse. Individualism implies voluntary association, and the need for such association is satified by clubs. The video misterepsents clubs as if they were like the first clubs. A club is mere a place for meetngs with like-minded people. In the U.S., until recentely, a town of 25000 could have several hundred clubs. Many a national --- the club of the veterans of wars, for example. Many exist for mutual support. The veterans may organize, pay for, and attend the funeral of a veteran wothout a family. The Russians, by contrast, expect everything to come from the government, whether tsarist or communist. Free individuals help each other. Some clubs exist just for charitable purposes. And it is totally false to portray clubs as if consisting of only the wealthy people. Firefighter may have clubs -- any group of people with common interests. The author totally missed the content. The architecture of the Atheneum only reflects the commonality of the members --- the high place of humanities in Classical Greece in this case. A dorman does not create the status of a club --- like any employee, his demeanor and behavior must REFLECT the values of the club. To say that Victorian men were afraid of women is paranoia projected onto others. One cannot understand clubs without understanding Anglo-American culture with its empasis on individual freedoms and responsibilities, the notions very novel to Russia. The video has never missed an an opportunity to ridicule clubs and their members but totally missed the point.

  1437. As usual, communists talk about the death of capitalism without having any knowledge of what capitalism is. All "the" knowledge they have is abook written by Marx, a man who had never taken a course on economics and wrote nonsense. The man cannot even think well. Marx wrote about the atrophy of government as a social institution. What is discissed in the West is not the seath of government but a change of its scope: does government rule over one nation or a group of nation (as it did for most of history, when people united into empires). Whyvare you listening to this " theoretical" nonsense? Who is a capitalist? If you have 1 ruble in a bank -- you are a capitalist. The vast majority of Americans are capitalists, especially prphans, widdows, the victims of accidents, the retirees? Why? because the hold their money not under the pillow but in stocks and bonds. Is that how capitalism presented to you? Of course not. You never think of teachers, nurses, and firefighters as capitalists. Marxism is a conspiracy theory. It assumes that if one party to a trade gains, then the other loses exploitation. This old mistake goes back to Ancient Greeks, a.d that is whete Marx's mind was, thousands of years behind his times. This ignorant charlatan openly tells you that he is a conspiracy theorist. "Burguiny zadumalis." Who are they, these capitalists? Who was gathering and where to decide what should be done for the sake of capitalism? Two top mamagers of different firms cannot have dinner together -- they may go to prison if even two firms act together. This man is an ignorant charlatan without any visible ability to think. Everything he says he has obtained from long intent gazing at hid navel while relieving himself in his outhouse. No wonder almost every sentence smells like govno.

  1474. My goodness, how angry hou are with your rulers! For what? You supported every atrocity, invasion, violation of law, invasion of foreign lands, belittling of nonRusskih Rossians. He did nothing you didn't want him to do. Whst you don't not want is to pay for your sins and laziness. You expected the war to be miraculously paid for by the loot from Ukraine. Insted you got a 20% inflation and cannot buy eggs, butter, and decent bread. Most people in the world invest in themselves to keep themselves relevant, copetitive in the world or to expand a business. You instead don't do any of that and spend your money on remodeling of apartments and vacations abroad. Most. Americans never travel on a vacation until they saved enough money and retire. Why do you, what makes you so entiled, Putin? No, it is your own greed. That is why you call your rulers and entrepreneurs greedy. The Russian always refuses to look at himself: he knows in advance what ugliness he will find. Only about 63% of Americans own their homes. Every one of you thinks only about gettting a morgage. Why? The ownership of a home is ALWAYS more expensive than rent (you don't know how to count money if you think otherwise, stop listening to your mother-in-law). Why are you entitled to ownership? Greed. Did Putin make you this way? Of course not. You reached the point where you cannot produce anything worth buying, because you ard so expensive. It used to be that you could produce and sell oil, gas, and armemrnts to 3rd-world countties. Now the whole world has learned that you ALWAYS renege on agreements, and yourvarmements arw govmo. Moreover, people who habitually steal, drink themseves into a stoopor, give bribes wherever they can, lie, and evade the law cannot be productive. If you chhanged today, the results would appear in 25 years. Your holop mentality and greed dug youselves into a grave. Tsar Putin is a perfect fit for such people.

  1483. It is NOT Putin's wars but Russian wars against neighboring countries. It is not avout the interests of obe person (namely, Putin) but about Russian chauvinisn that is shared, and therefore easily employed, by Putin. Ever since tsar Peter (I am not sure the nonicuim Great applies), Russians seem to have developed an inferiority conplex. A fairly regular people wirh Easter values (a human life is nothing but the trube and natuon id everyrhing) was not dragged into Europe. How would you feel if you were hired to do the job of an engineer without any knowledge of engineering? Surely, feel inadequate and inferior to your colleagues with proper education and training. You would feel compelled to prove yourself. Unable to produce due to the lack of qualifications, yoy would DECLARE yourself to be good and even better than others. As in Shakespeare, "the wench protests too much." Tsar Peter dragged Russians into Europe without proper qualifications. Like the Russian and Chinese conmunists many years later, he thought that a people --- his Russian people -- can be re-educated by decree and violence. The people were in consinance with Eastern values but felt inferior in cintacts with Europeans. Hence the predictable outcomes: distrust of everything foreign, rising to outright hatred; the feeling of being compelled, "put on the knees," by the puoutside world, and the claims of uniqueness (nonsensical terminology suxh as "Russkiy mir," "ymom Rossitu ne ponyat," etc.). Hence also paranoia, the never-ending managerie of enemies: the Mongols. the Germans, the French, the Americans at various times) and the Jews of course (always). Putin is successful precisely because he shares these eyernal traits of the people; he successfully reflects what the people want. You should not make the mistake of viewing Putin as a dictator, which is quite common nowadays in the West. He is furher (leader), not a dictator. Neither Hitler nor Putin dictated their will, compelled the masses to do something ynwanted. On the contrary, both led the masses in doing precisely what people wanted. It is the much suffering Russians with conscience that pay the proce for the madness of peoole. Such Russians suffered under the tsars, under communists, and under the FSB. It is the curse of the Russians with conscience to love Russia: their love is unrequited borh by the powers and by the people themselves. It is not a Putin's war: the invasion of Ukraine is a war of Russia against a neighboring country. Simply put, "чужой земли не отдадим ни пяди."

  1577. You still don't understand that people were not attacking you: the conversations became longer and began to feel like attacks precisely because you were defending the indefensible actions of your country. A Westerner would ne speaking in terms of "Here is where I agree with my government, here is where I disagree ." You missed the point. That is even more true about the perception of someone who lost bank cards due to sanction. What is happening is happening is happening precisely because an average Russian, unlike an average Westerner, does not feel responsible for the actions of hod government. You still have much of growing up to do, and you are hurting yourself by making these videos: one shouldn't speak before one to that is psychologically damaging. It is like drinking wine before it matures: you cannot help but to form an opinion about wine but that is the wine that does not exist yet. This phe menon seems to be the curse of many well-meaning Russiqn people. Peter I, whom some call the Gteat, went to the West to learn shipbuilding. He succeeded and learned much of engineering but REMAINED ABSOLUTELY OBLIVIOUS TO THE ESSENSE OF WESTERN SOCIETY. He came back and focused on symbols --- such as shaving beards, as if that would make a backward country more modern. The essence was totally lost on him. Presently, the Russsians come to New Your and London, interactvonly with irher emogres, learn absolutely nothing about history --- that I'd, aboutvthatvwhich made Btitain and America what they are. To become "Westernized" for them us to know the prices at Gucci and how to behave in high-end stores. Then they speak to you over Zoom and explain Amerca, the country the essence of which is totally lost on them. You have a heart, my friend, and that is an achievement. But the heart without the head is very often rhe source of the greatest errors. Read Burke, Hayes, and and Milton Friedman, for instance. Ask yourself questions such as, What is the balance between individual liberties and government? What is the difference between the French and the American Revolution (this is actually key to your own history). These are difficult questions, and the answers are increasingly more difficult to find in part because liberties are less and less popular around the world. Without at least some knowledge in this area, you cannot understand the Russian. European, or Chinese history, you cannot understand Tsar Vladimir, and you are surely unable to understand the West as it currently is. Read. Study Think. And let the wine msture. In order to wean others from a cult, one has to understand the cult. A good heart is by itself insufficient for that purpose. Please accept my best wishes and regards.

  1622. It is true that the American culture is parochial to some extent. That is not without reason. As a people, we have been protected by the oceans for a very long time; and, as individuals, we had left Old Word, each for a good reason, and didn't want to know more about it. If you knew more about your own country, you would lament some aspects of its culture but have considerably more sympathy for it. Almost every sentence in your post reveals disrespect and even hate for your own country, and both without any foundation in reason or fact. Dostoevsky called it arrogance of ignorance. You clearly have a good heart. You want to and are doing good in the world. The problem is, my friend, that you've been had. I am sorry to say. Ever since you were born all you heard from your teachers, and possibly parents, how bad America was. The Indians, the Blacks, the spooky "rich" --- injustice everywhere. It has now become fashionable in America to hate America without even knowing what she is. Nature abhors vacuum, and so does your heart. If your own country is so bad, it is only logical to look to other countries "to teach us stupid Americans something." NO COUNTRY can teach us much, my friend. Not Germany, not Britain, not Poland, not Israel, not Italy. Why? Because we ARE German, British, Polish, Jewish, Italian, Chinese, Indian, African, Norwegian, Swedish... You've been lied to, my friend, subjected to anti-American propaganda to such an extent that you didn't even stand a chance to get close to the trurh, despite your good heart and inquisitive mind. Stop looking at other countries until you learn about your own. When learning, ignore Wikipedia --- a platform from high-schoolers, by high-schoolers, for high-schoolers. Read books, preferably those published before 1950 (that's the approximaye time when they started to lie to us without shame). In the meantime, suspend judgement and try to love your country. You will not have any other.

  1718. His interpretation of history is straight from Lenin. Makes me feel as if I am at the presrnt-day Harvard. Colonial profits if countries --- what is that? What the profit of Unites States from Ford, does Ford exist to make a profit for Michigan or the Unites States? Of course not. It is tlhetevto make a profit for specific individuals (shareholders), who are mostly retirees, widows, and orphans. Governments gain only the taxes that companies pay. The same was true in colonial times. Only Lenin, who like Marx twisted to make thev theory work despite its failure to explain reality, believed that colonialism is the governmental monopoly. The words themselves have no meaning, but thevaithor appears to follow that "logic," Companies that owned cities --- sounds ominous but is total nonsense as well. "Imagine Gazprom owning cities," he says. Total disconnect from history. What you should imagine os a bunch of shareholders form8ng a company and going to build a settlement on the lands that don't belong to anybody. The did not buy those cities from anybody- the built them. And nobody has ever owned a city in America: individual houses and other buildings were owned by people who built them -- What is wrong with that. The cities were governed, not owned, by city councils and mayors. Like Minaev, this author Stull does not know what democracy and capitalism look like. (You are long way from capitalism in Russia, by the way. Finally, on slave trade. He emphasizes the supposedly huge returns of the traders sold threefold, hecsaus), which shows that hebhqs no clue about economics. Investments are characterized by expected returns and rusk. I can recommend you an investment today that promises atenfold return, but you will never make that investment because it too risky -- you mayflower everything. The risk was huge and the expected returns were much lower. At the end the author decided to become a moralist amd lays guilt at rhe feet of white men. Westerners have never enslaved Africans, however: they bought slaves from the African and Arab slave-owners. Some Arab families in Africa are knoen to have prospered for generations SOLELY on hunting for black Africans and selling them in slave markets. Slavery is a horrible institution, of course, amd the Christian West abandoned ot in 19th centuries, and Russia too have freed is slaves (don't write to me about the legal differences between slaves and krepostnye -- many slaves in Charston were well off amd even rich, amd moved freely about). In East Africa, however, the slave trade was carried out solely by the Arabs and continued through 1920s. Moreover, numerous black people and Indians also owned slaves. To lay guily for dlqveru at the feet of white aeutopeand os both utterly ignorant, false, and immoral. The author should br ashamed of himself.

  1753. ​ @dmitriykarpukhin650 I guess, you can't even imagine that Western peoples have free access to information for centuries. Go to Philo, Illinois, with the population about 1500 people. It has its mayor, police, firefighters, teachers, doctors... It lives as if the governments pf Illinois and the U. S. did not exist. People decide for themselves , and nobody limits their access to information of any kind. Go also to the library of a typical public university with 5-10 million books. Go at 2 or 5 in the morning, since it is open 24 hours a day. Ask the clerk what you can and cannot see -- he or she will look at you as if you are from Mars -- go see any book you want. This is normal. It has been normal for centuries. You cannot imagine it, because the Russiqn Empire has never respected the individual: the "sacred soil," the tsar, the boyard or hetman have always been more important than an individual. Please note also that pointing to other countries is illogical --- regardless of your opinions amd views. I see this time and time again in posts. Such and such Russian has been caught lying and steating? "Well, all people steal amd lie," they say. It is almost always false. Germans don't steal. In most Western countries stealing is a sensation, but further East it is a norm --- that's thw difference. It is not only false but illogical: if one Russian eats another, how does it help that people in Papua also do so, how is that comforting for you? Ah, but we are not talking about Papua, right? Dirtying the West by whatever falsehoods --- that is somehow comforting. That is what allows you to go back to sleep. That is why nothing changes, that is why Russia and Ukraine are at the top of the lists of corrupt countries. No, Dmytro, not all countries are corrupt; no, not all countries are governed from the top, we have a long tradition of SELF-rule, where the individual is of primary importance and the gornment I'd secondary; no, lying is not the norm everywhere. Imagine that.... And then go to the library and read on how it all happened, how countries chose different paths. Hint: it's not the governments that chose the paths, it's the peoples that chose their governments and paths. Lying is normal where PEOPLE think it is normal; law is evaded where PEOPLE think that lawlessness is normal; rape, killings, and war are accepted where PEOPLE are not appalled by rape and killing of their neighbors. Go to the library, my friend.

  1766. You just cannot help yourself but to plug in falsehoods and reveal your ignorance, can you, madam? You do so in every video I have watched (just a few, thanks Heaven), and in the same way. Here you reveal your dishonesty from the start when comparing poor hard-working farmers to animals of pray. How terrible it was that there was no central agricultural policy directed by some Central Comittee! If only we Americans had a tsar. Stalin, or some "committee" with freedom to shoot the farmers on the spit! Wouldn't it be great if the American people weren't free to live their lives but directed from some Winter Palace or Kremlin? Madam, you lived in the West, looked at much, saw clise to nothing, and managed to misunderstand even what managed to see. In consequence you remain who you always were a regular, uninformed, Russian supremacist with a complex of inferiority. You present "My land is your land" as an American version of "Where does the Motherland begins." This is not even wrong -- this is insane. The song was written and sung byGuthry, Peter, Paul, and Marry -- American communists wothout membership cards. They were despised at that time by the vast majority of the country; nobody but the hippies and the leftist students listened to to them. Do you know anything about the subject matter. can you think? The love of teaching you claim to feel is unfortunately coupled with arrogance, and there is no worse teacher than an arrogant one, for her falsehoods leave sudents worse off than without her. The Dust Ball was NOT a consequence of too much planting: it was a consequence of prohibiting planting, which left the soil exposed. This isn't what you read in some rag, however. Reading one biased book is not knowledge, madam, and arrogantly perpetrating falsehoods on your viewers is a tremendous dissevice to them. But you know what you are doing: any misery, anything that looks like a mistake in America sells well in Russia, doesn't it? You should've created a video about the disappearance of the Aral Sea, but that would require work -- certainly more than reading some rag in the bathroom before going in front of the audence -- and would not sell to the Russians. Finally, you are ureppentant Marxist. wthethwr or not you profess it consciously. People from Oklahoma were not "exploited:" they wete paid market wages. They lived miserably but they were not exploited by anybody. Oh, if only wages had been fixed by the government, as in the U.S.S.R., all that misery would have bern avoided. No ma'am: those peoole would still be livimg in poverty, as do modern-day Russians. No ma'am, Okies chose California, not the U.S.S.R. that had long been freed from "capitalist exploitation." The term Okie, moreover, was NOT deregatory. only your Marxist ear hears inewality in every sound. The word differentiated newcommers and California farmers, long eatablished by that time. Okies were startups. You seem to misunderstand what little you do read. Your familiarity with and quotations from the most pathetic left-wingers in America points in the same direction -- Marxisms you inhaled in childhood. You may be honestly telling yourself that you love teaching. What you actually love is being on stage and admired by the crowds. Your arrogance, patronizing attitude towards your viewers, submission of the truth to your biased and ignorance-based ideology, and your refusal to learn something -- all point to this concusion. Your viewers should know that they pay for falsehoods, perpetrated on them by an arrogant, ignorant, egotistic charlatan.

  1811. I don't know who ordained him, but the man cannot even think. The phrase "G-d has given the Torah to the Jews" has defined the Jews, he aays. Does the fact that it has rained at night" define the night? Of course not. Does the fact "a merchant sold fish to an Egyptian" define Egyptians? Of course not. He is simply a remarkable idiot. The "rabbi" does not even bring up the Torah, according to which there were 70 nations at rhe time. According to the sages, G-d has offered the Torah to other nations before he offered it to Israelitws, but those nations declined. Israelites have received the offer of servitude to Him at Mt Sinai and accepted by saying, "we hear and we shall do." This is what made them the Jews, and any person on Earth can become a Jew, a voluntary servant to the Creator. The NATION, which had been in existence for centuries and known as Israelites since Jacob struggled with the angel, accepted the offer of the Creator. The name changed to "Jews" to signify that fact, but the nation had existed, under a different name "Israelites," prior to that. The man does not know the meaning of basic words, such as "definition;" cannot reason, despite learning the Talmud in school; and, picks out of context, twists, and turns rudimentary facts from secular history. What an empty man! Those that have given him ordination instead of expelling him from school have much to answer to the Creator . I have made a mistake, however, when I referred to this diletant as an empty man. He is far from empty: he is filled with hate to the brim. Those who hate the Jews hear from him what they like to hear and become even more entrenched in their hate as well.

  1887. Interesting, people still debate the origin of crime... Where does thirst come from? From the lack of water. To satisfy thirst, have some water. Where do rudderless youth and crime come from? From the lack of Judeo-Christian morals. The youth is rudderless? Look to the parents, not the government. It is a purely socialist, debunked by experience, idea that government can instill morals; only parents and grandparents can. You want youth to acquire a moral compass? Get it yourself first, and then teach it diligently to your children. It's that simple. And very hard in any society where the parents (ruling generations) view might as being right and use bribes and connections to circumvent law. Governments and architecture REFLECT the already existing morals. The smaller each person perceives himself to be, the more he expects from the government --- sonthibg must be weighing society, after all. The smaller the individual, the bigger the government. Why not give government the task of raising children? So it was for Rousseau, for example: remarkably popular during his lifetime he urged people to do just that and put all FIVE of his children into orphanages. So much love... The architectural nonsense of the Soviet Union was shared by every socialist society in the West: France, Puerto Riko, New Yourk City. Le Corbusier was all the rage 70 years ago. He designed neighborhoods that looked and functioned like ant hills. What else can someone design if hw views government as an omnipotent and virtuous colossians and individual as soulless impotent ant? What else would you expect from a socialist? He, but not socialism, is forgotten now. The video is very thoughtful and informative. Thank you.

  1893. The: it is better than Pravda in its propaganda. Very well done: the author repeats all the lies of every anti-Semite that has ever lived but calls Hitler a dictator. Thus, he seems to disaprove if Hitler... while egreeing with everythig Hitler said. And it is ALL lies. The number of German Jews that fought and died for Germany in World War I was greater than their proportion of the pipulation. Hitler was awarded the Iron Cross --- he received from a Jewish oficer. Yet Hitler it was the Jews that started the war and somehow profited from it. And you all did the same after World War II: everyone knew that "Jews did not fight forvthe Soviet Union, they sat "v tylu." I lost only a quayet of of my family --- old people☆☆ because EVERYONE else wascfighting the Nazis in the Societ Army. My father volunteered on Junev23, the day after rhe Nazis invaded, finished the war as a captain of tabk troops. My uncle was in amy intelligence, crawling almost every daycto within a few meters from the Nazi troops to bring back the intelligence, finished the war as a lieutenant. My mother is awarded the medal "For Victory over Germany." My other uncle, then a strong 16-yer-old boy, wanted to fight but rejected because of his age: he worked loading 80kg boxes with munitions on trains to support our troops. Yet another uncle was a doctor, worked day and and night ON the FRONTLINES, he was a colonel of the Soviet Army when he died. When these relatives came home after the war, their apartments were taken over by neighbors who did not fight, the neighbors who told them "Get out of here, zhidovskaya morda, itvis too bad that Hitler did not kill all of you. The authorities did absolutely nothing. Having read the comments here, I once again saw that facts do not matter to you: you hate, and people who hate cannot think. Tou hate the Jews and find " facts" to justify your hate. And even Hotler, against whom your parents and mine have fought, and Ford become your friends, allies in your hatred of Jews. It matters not that Jesus, to whom you pray, was a Jew. Nothig matters when hatres rules your souls and minds. Just remember one thing: in the last 2000 ywars, the hatred of Jews existed ONLY in the countries where people hated each other. Jews were never persecuted in the lands were people treated EACH OTHER fairly and loved EACH OTHER, as Judaism and Christianity command us to do. Look into your hearts, those of you who posted the comments full of Jew hatred. Look intonypur hearts.

  1896. Alex, when are you going to learn what natural resources are? RESORCES ATE NOT coal in the ground, forest in Siberia or fish in the rivers. RESOURCES are things needed and AVAILABLE for consumption or the production of other things. Coal is therefore a resource once it is mined and lies on the surface of the Earth, fish is a resource once it is caught and lies on the bank of the river, and forest is a resource (timber) once it is felled. Russia is a very poor country, and has always been poor. This is because it is too costly to mine coal, catch fish, and cut the trees in Russia. What makes them costly? The terrible, unproductive workforce. No workforce in the world can be productive if is perpetually drunk, stealing from employers, habitually evad8ng the law, instinctively giving bribes, etc. By the time such workforce cuts trees, catches fish, and mines coal, thes3 materials are too expensive: for an employer, it is cheaper to buy them abroad. To make the decision whether to produce in Russia or to buy elsewhere, one needs prices. Prices are the property of the MARKETS, and only of the markets. They didn't exist in the USSR. There was something your government called "prices," but those were simply some numbers chosen by the government. They prices adjust to changing circumstances, but artificial numbers cannot. This is why communism cannot modify itself and collapses. No markets, no prices, no sustainability. Everything I said above you can easily find in textbooks. The long, painful way out of poverty is therefore 1) to admit the truth ( you are a poor, unproductive country with the level of well-being slightly below that of Mexico); and, 2) begin to improve yourselves (learn foreign and computer languages, read about economics and society in those languages). You prefer vacations in Turkey and to own instead of rent real estate. Ownership is ALWAYS more expensive than rent (if you know how to count money), and only about 63% of Americans can afford it. Why are you more entitled? You are not: own an apartment --- lose a job in 10 years, because you have become too expensive and outdated for anyone to hire you. There are no miracles here. Good luck, my friends, bit you need much more than luck here. You need to take your thinking out of the 1700s.

  1959. Reading comments, I could not help myself but think: what a bunch of ingrates. We have limited resources and do what we can to help you. Also, when was the last time, even before the war, you sent any money to America after our hurricanes. Ice storms and droughts? It does not even occur to you to help others, especially the U.S. Zelensky has insulted one half of the American people duting his visit, and it will be codtly to you. Like the rest of you, he behaved like an entiled spoiled brat and interfered into our internal affairs. The meeting with Trump was his attempt to apologize. It will not help you at all to continue to be ingrates. You cynics will say anything --- that America is selling Ukraine to Russia, that everything is a political show, that Trump's words are for internal cinsumption -- anything but the simple truth: we don't pick money from the pavement but work hard and have limited resources. You cannot see this simple truth because you are ingrates who think you are enttled to orher people's money. And while we are discussing this, let me ask: why was Ukraine before the war in the bottom 10 countrirs of the world in terms of corruption? Why does corruption contunue during the war? Reasonable people are not eager to send money to Ukraine only to see it disappear into private pockets. Nobody owes you ANYTHING, be grateful for the gifts you do receive. I have supported Ukraine the best I could since the war began, but you have managed to alienate even me, just as at least one half of the American people were alienated by Zelensky.

  1995. Pozner is a remarkable liar and ignoramus, devoid of any visible morals. He has been in the U.S. many times but understood nothing, as he reveals every time he opens his mouth. For example, Rupert Murdock's marriage is of international interest, because he presides over a media conpany that UNIQUELY occupies the conservative part of the political spectrum. Who will inherit that company, and therefore the marriage of Murdock, mattars to the public. Posmer does not get it, because he in never able to connect the fact: he will scruitinize every leaf of a tree, especially in thev West, and then fail to notice that they are leaves of the same tree. "Slyshit zvon no ne znayet gde on" was invented fo Pozner, a person with a temarkable inability to think. The lies and logical falacies are added to ignoramce. Notices about who married whom "selll well" in the West, he says. But pepile read about celebrities everywhere around the world -- in Russia, in Thailamd, in Australia. What des thev West havw to so with that ? You kbow the answer: what Pozner says that the Western Press will publish anything (notice Murdock 's wedding) for MONEY. This is totally false but you love to hear that. So he says a lie, and you eat it. Logical fallacies are everywhere, and the main one is irrelevance (I'll omit its Latin name). "I've seen it [censorship] in the West," he says. How is this relevant or helpful ? The question in hand is whether the paient (Russia) is sick (with censorship) and needs mwdicine (freedom of speech). Posner's answer: "Other countries are not entirely healthy either." How is that relevant or healpful to YOU? Posner is a boring salesman of a single product, which is much un in demand in Russia at all times: lies about the West. To you, he sounds credible, because he has been here many times. He KNOWS about the West less than a 10-year schoolboy, however (even now, when our system education is in crisis). When are you goin distinguish gbetween good and evil? Throuughout history you ador demagogues, such as Posner, and kill those that want and can serve you, such as Navalny. Don't blame others --- everyone , from the Germans, the Finns, the Jews, the Americans, the Ukrainians to little green peoole people from space (enemies of the people hiding under your bed) --- for your own propensity to side with, tolerate, and perpetrate evil.

  2043. The guest is deeply mistaken. The businessmen visting Lenin were scialista to varying degree, just like domestic manufacturer Morozov. Engels inherited a manufacturing plant but wrote books on various aspects of socialism and financed Marx throughout his life. I don't know where he teaches in the U.S. , but he seems to be totally unfamiliar wirhr American culture. Contrary tobwhat he said, the attitude of most Americans toward Russia was initially nothing but curiousity. Please recall that AMERICA WAS DISCOVERED BEFORE RUSSIA. Columbus reached America in 1492, and only a few Europeans travelled to Russia by mid-1550s. The maps of that time showed Russia as emty space indicayed as Terra Incognita., the lamd unknown. Europeans and laterAmericans where curious about Russia, just like visitors in a zoo -- what kind of creatures are that? Much of that attitude remains to the present day. The exceptional periods occurred when Russia was beligerent and threatened the world, as it is doing now. By and large, howevever, Americans prefer to live the way they want without bothering others. They don't really care what happens elsewhere. Europeans and the Russian elites simply don't get it. You ASSUME that an educated person is somehow better that an uneducated one. You LONG for a highly educated nation where everyone has a Ph.D. Why? None of these suppositions follows from logic. Both suppositions are in conflict with Judeo-Christian morality, according to which only the Creator can judge the value of a person. Americans remained religious and maintained Judeo-Christian morality much, much longer than Europeans. WE DON'T THINK THAT AN EDUCATED PRRSON IS BETTER THAT AN UNEDUCAYWD ONE. On the contrary, we believe that we are equal, and have the same value as citizens. I am not rushing to discuss the symphonies of Bruckner, philosophy of Nietzhe, or poetry of Shakespeare with a trapper in Alaska, but I deeply respect him as a fellow American, who is equal to me, and from whom I have much to learn. Europeans don't disagree with us on this issue --- they just don't get it. Those Europeans that do get it become Americans. The guest's eliticism reveals itself in slips of the tongue such as "even from Oklahoma," as if he cannot learn from people there. He cannot learn only because he has closed his eyes and ears, plugged them shut by eliticism. Moreover, he is not a true scholar. He came to the U.S. and judges what he sees from a snapshot; there is not even a trace of knowledge of the Amwrica history. Almost all Russians do so. They came to the U.S., live in Brooklyn or Miami, vacation in Italy, have never been west of New Jersey (unless flying to Los Angeles), and know nothing about the country. And yet they say without hesitation, "Americans are this way or that, Americans like this or that." This is fine for anybody but a acholar, who must refrain from having, let alone voicing, an opinion about simething he does not know. The scientific method and Judeo-Christian morality both require you to WITHHOLD JUDGEMENT WHEN SUFFICIENT INFORMATION IS UNAVAILABLE. In ths regard, the esteemed professor is not a bad scholsr but not a scholar at all: he routinely passes judgment about complex matters wirhout sufficient knowledge. Furthermore, he does not understand English. A colleague who has dscovered a HUGE problem at work, for instance, may tell you, "We have a bit of a problem." It is very Amglo-American to understate: if you want to be heard, speak softly. This point is lost on people from Russia, where the opposite is true: nobody will listen unless you scream and use superlatives. So a Russian hears the words but not the sentence: "You said that the problem is small --- just a bit of a problem --- so why are you bothering me?" Something similar jad happened to this professor.. If an American student asks, "Do you want me to tell you what I think or what you want to hear?," you have already already FAILED. It is an accusation, not a question. What the student actually says is, "you don't listen to a word of what i am saying and have not heard me at all, you just insists that you are correct simply because you sit in the chair of a professor; you have thus shown youself to be an autocrat and a brut with no ability to duscuss isseues in a civilized manner; the only way to end this cinversation is therefore to tell you what you want to hear." Were I to hear something like this, I would freeze in shock, telling myself immedeately that I have failed. I do not know yet where, but I have failed, I have comducted the conversation inappropriately. This "professor" is not only deaf but arrogant enough to to evaluate the student rather than himself. "As you can see," he says to the host, "the American students know the difference between the truth and what someone wants to hear." What an ignoramus. He is utterly unfamiliar with American politeness, which is COMMON IN OKLAHOMA AND NONEXISTENT IN MEW YORK, where he would prefer to live, I am sure.. What he heard was a polite accusation. He listened to the words but did not hear the sentence. Why? Because OKLAHOMA is unpretentious and does not care for " haute culture." His highness the professor has no respect for his job, his students, and the country that gave him home, safety, and a decent living. He, a personna cultured so highly, should live in New York. you see, next to Carnegie Hall and Metropolitan Opera -- that's what is culture for him. His student has revealef a much higher degree of cultural development than the "professor." When someone in America tells you that you have autocratic tendencies, he is actually saying, "You have SHOWN yourself to be an outrageous, unapologetic pig of an autocrat." Why am I writing this at such length? The esteemed professor does not deserve a minute of my time. My hope is to show YOU, my friends, whom you listen to and from whom you attempt to learn. You may quite reasonably think of the guest: "He LIVES in America, he teaches in an AMERICAN university, he must know America, and I should learn from him." You would be much better off, my friends, if you came to Oklahoma and spoke with his student; a farmer in Nebraska, Iowa or Illinois; someone working on an oil rig in South Dakota , a trapper in Alaska, or a fisherman in Massachusetts. Beware of what you honor and whom you choose as a teacher, for you will be a servant of what you honor.

  2055. Thank you for your effort. The following does not belittle but attempts to clarify it. 1. It is indeed unknown. As you pointed out, how ancient Jews pronounced His name. This is because no Jew has ever pronounced His name --- doing so is forbidden to those whovate in true awe of Him. That is also why the word G-d is used, not because paper may be lost. Even if He Himself would guarantee that the paper will be intact forever, IJews and many Christians will not write His name out of utter reverence to Him. In speech, many Jews refer to Him as "HaShem," which means "The (ha) Name (shem)." 2. It is not true that Jews have accepted the task in return for being chosen. It is said that He offered other peoples before the Jews to accept "the yoke of Heaven" --- to live VOLUNTARILY by his commandments --- but those peoples refused, because it is hard, Hid requirements are much more demanding than the requirements of the deitilies worshipped at that time. Regardless of what happened before, Jews have become chosen upon the acceptance of His Word. Torah is a manual for moral life, and a brief summary of what a Jew must and must not do is comprised of 613 commandments. No Jew, if he truly follows His Word (obviously, communists did not), views himself or herself as superior to others --- only He can judge souls. The word CHOSEN means CHOSEN FOR THE JOB, nothing more. Did you hire an IT specialist to produce a video? If yes, that person was CHOSEN by you for the job. Do you drive a city bus? You are CHOSEN by the city for that job. Nobody claims that IT specialists or buscdriveres are superior to others -- they have only been selected for their specific jobs. G-d has CHOSEN Jews for a specific job --- to be a witness of His greatness and to bring G-dlines I to the physical world. Anti-Semites claim that Jews view themselves as superior to others, as if "chosen" meant "better." That is utterly false and in fact opposite of His commsndments. 3. It is not exactly correct to say that Judaism began at Sinai. Abraham proclaimed His oneness and glory long before the receipt of the Torah at Sinai. Those that followed were called "ivri" (yevrei). After the angel proclaimed "you shall be known as people Israel," we were called Israelites (izril'tyane). And finally, after receiving the Torah, we became Jews (iudei). The people thus had not one but three names. 4. Living by G-d's word --- "the yoke of Heaven" --- is open to everybody. Anyone who demonstrates commitment to do so and knowledge (as verified by a rabbinical court and witness by the community) can become Jew. Bloodlines do not matter. G-d loves all people, of course, although He may give them different jobs and speacksvto them in different languages. A Jew promisses G-d to live by all (613 and more) commandments that He commanded Jews to obey. Others do not have an obligation to do so, and gentile ir righteous and goes to Heeaven after living by a much smaller set of commandments (Noahide Laws). G-d loves all people. 5. Finally, the Torah consists of more than "part." You spoke of Totah in general and Tanah in particular (the Books of Moses, Moishe Rebeinu). There is in addition the oral part of Torah, ,preserved and propagated over millennia by the rabbies and rabbinical scholars. Please note also that Hassids are not a sect (sekta) but a movement (techeniye) "Sect" commonly refers to a deviation from a norm. Hassids and other such groups do not deviate but differ in emphasis, that's all. Before Lubavitche movement, for example, rabbies thought that the philosophical subtleties of Judaism should be pursued only by scholars, people prepared for subtleties. Lubavitche placed thr burden on teachers rather than learners, believing that the basics at least are accessible to everyone who wants to learn. It is the SAME Judaism, only the emphasis is different; the Hassids do not omit anything from the Torah. They look to others as "ultra-orthodox" only because so many of those others (the Reform and secular Jews) have abandoned the rules of conduct prescribed by the Torah. Thank you again for your video. May G-d's love continue to shine on every inhabitant of this planet. Shalom.

  2191. Mr. Lipsiz correctly describes thevsewuence of events that occur when "asset-strioping" occurs but appears to misunderstand the economics ofvth8s phenomenon. If the money received from the sale of assets is stolen, then the problem is theft, not the sale of assets. It is like blaming marriage for cheating: a cheating spouse betrays the other, and the problem is betrayal of marriage, not the marriage. So what Lipsiz says is simply illogical. Consider next a legal sale, one without stealing. The money received from the sale is not put into a pillow--- it is spent on purchase of other assets --- investment in another company, whether a new or an existing one. The same happens with the fired workers: the vast majority of them find other jobs. This is so in every economy other than conmunist (dictatorial) ones (economists call them "command" economies). Each such case is painful, both for the workers AND the owners. Buy the net result on the economybas a whole is POSITIVE. To see why thr effect is positive, ask yourself first, why has the sale of assets added the closing of the company have occurred? The reason is that nobody wanted it: the company was losing money, because it could not sell its products at a price above its cost. The cost was too high: ether the technology used is too old (the management failed) or the workers were overpaid (especially when trade unions are involved). What is magement to do? It must reduce the price of the goods sold and can do so only by reducing the wages. It cannot reduce the wages, however, because the workers' moral would be famaged and, most often, because the laws prohibit that. The well meaning governments that claim to "protect workers" actually cause loss of jobs. Unable to reduce costs, the existing owners have no alternative but to sell the company to new owners. The new owners are more free to reduce the company or close it altogether. The upshot: THE ASSETS OF A HEALTHY VIABLE COMPANY CANNOT BE SOLD AND ITS WORKERS CANNOT BE FIRED. if those workers are effective, the are too expensive to be fired; if the assets are used properly, they are also too expensive to find a buyer. Nonviable companies must go out of business in order to rease the assets and the workers for use in other companies. Why did rhe Soviet economy fail? Because nobody could be fired and no asset could be freely sold, no matter how ineffient those workers and assets were. In other words: WHEN THEVASSETS OR THE WORKERS ARE INEFFICIENT. THE ALTERNATIVES ARE EITHER TEMPORARY PAIN (sake of assets and firing of workers) OR DEARH. The Soviet Union has chosen death. It would nice if the "top economist" Lipsiz demonstrated some knowledge of economics in a logical manner. What I have heard from him are data -- so many people left the country, prices rose by that much -- but no knowledge of economics whatsoever.

  2235. Nobody can be more naive than the intellectuals. This guest is a great example. From what I heard, nothing bad happened to this man that didn't happen to other immigrants. For a scholar, it is a duty to investigate how representative his case is. He didn't do that for a minute. He lacks basic academic i tegrity. "Oh, pity me: I had to learn Hebrew." There are 1 million immigrants from Russia, whose languages arw much, much farther removed from Hebrew than Arabic. I've never heard of them conplaining about that; even children understand that you must learn the language of the land. Why dis his family speak Arabic in Iraq? Because it was the language of the land. But he shouldn't do the same in Israel? What a spoiled disgusting child this guest is! Looks like his parents were pimpous "important" people in Iraq but were treated like everyone else in Israel. Immigrant children don't have undentity crises unless their parents do. He remains a spoiled child. Geatitude and the sense of duty are otally foreign to him. Knowing full well that this video would be used for propaganda, he still sat down for it. The propaganda began at the first sentence, in which the host presented the guest's parents as just leaving Iraq. Not a word about threats and expulsions. -- they just left, you see, as if on vacation. Many conmenters are decent people with good pure hearts , but they too deny the fact of expulsions. "I remember my Jewish teachers in Egypt," "I remember my Jewish neighbors in Iraq. Well, my friends, one million Jews from Iraq, Iran, and North Africa don't just simultanously get up and leave the lands where they lived for centuries and millennia. Those of you in the Muslim world who have pure hearts, free of hatred --- thank you. It is particularly noble and courageous to remain pure when hatred surrounds you.

  2266. Intelligent man but suffers from the typical Russian --- wnvy of and dislike of America --- which compels him to belittle the countty. Americans, by nature, are not aftaid of anything. It is particularly stupid to suggest that were afraid of Europe or anything else. in rhe 1940s, when the U.S. produced 46% --- almost one half --- of everything produced anywhere in the world. At the time of the Caribbean crises, of every 12 aircraft flying 11 were American-made. The speaker's desire to belittle America backfires and only underscores his ignorance What the U.S.was concerbed with (not afraid of) at the end of the war was the comnunist takeover of Europe. In france the communist party was the largest and n Italy close second. The takeover implied that we would have to fight another war ---- communism and Islam are expansionist abd aggressive. We prefee to live oue own lices and leave Europe to its own diseases of communism, fascism, etc The U.S. has never controlled Europe. We promote democracy, which then governs each country. To assume that ot does is a conspiracy theory, the type that ignorant Russians like so much.. For the same reason so many of you believe tatbthevJews control the world or the secret world government exist. The less education and knowledge, the mote conspiracy terrories The guestis not an economist, hr is just introduced as such to boost the legitimately of the channel. You could have a greater success if you have invited a graduate ifvthe Papua New Guinea.

  2301. By idealizing gemivernment, Keynes missed a critical point. He was correct about spending by government when private demand declines: what matters is the total demand, so when private demand decreases, it is helpful tobicrease the public one. There is no problem here, because spending is in the interest of the elected officials: they make citizens happy and get re-elected. When the private demand decreases, the government spending must decrease, according to Kwynes. But elected officials will never do that: reduction in public benefits makes people unhappy, and the officials are thrown outt in the next elections. History has confirmed that. Tiis is why there is no more Keynesian economics: the leftist economist tweaked it in what is now called NEW Keynsian Economics. As for Norway and Sweden, they did reach high levels of prosperity only becauae of the more prodictive United States. Europe notoriously spends 2% on realsearch and development, and less than 2% on defense, whereas the U.S. spends 5% pn reaearch and 5% on defense. Europe thus gets medicines from the U.S. almost 95% of all new medicines in thevworld are developed in the U.S. it also expects to be defended by the U.S. free of charge, should it be attacked. In short, Europe lives well because itvis subsidized by the U.S. Well, if someone paid for your healthcare, gave you innovations essentially free of charge, and sdefended you, you too would live much better, wouldn't you? In practice, no priperty is completely private: a part of it is confiscated by the government (taxes) to pay for piblic works, defense, etc. The question is to what extent it is private. In Norway, where imported cars arectaxed at 100%, or Sweeden, whete income tax was 65% until recently, and in the EU, where you paybthe govenment 20% of everything you buy, property is hardly private at all. That is why they are referred to as socialist.

  2470. You have uncovered the fundamental difference between liberalism and dictatorship, my friend. For centuries now, we in the West judge BEHAVIORS of people. We humbly acknowledge that none of us is in the head of anorher, we don't kbow wxactly what a person thinks, and can see only his deeds. There has been no behavior on the part of Ukrainian government that would indicate its turn to dictatorship or natzism. By contrast, it is a centuries-old Russian tradition to believe and claim that you KNOW what orhers thonk, and then jusge and condemn them for THINKING, not deeds. Accordingly, your media tells you what is in the heads of Ukraniansanf you take it is fact. That no BHAIVOR that YOU can verify supports those allegations does not bother you. Your paranoia is sufficientvto condemn a person to death. In the 1930s, you similarly believed that millions of people worked for multiple foreign unyelligence services. There were numerous cases where a husband of an arrested woman complained to a friend, "Can you believe it, I lived with that woman for 19 years and had nobidea she was a German spy." He has not seen any BEHAIVIOR that woyld indicate spying, but the government told him what was in his wife's head, and that was good enough. You are doing the same today. Your government tells you what is supposedly in the heads of Ukranians, and you condemn them to death althoughbthe only proof of that --- the DEEDS -- are absent. In simple words, your national behavior is equivalent to someone saying that your wife is thinking of cheating on you, and you killing her on that basis. Yes, it is that simple. You have invaded a foreign country and kill, rape, torture, and impverish its citicens merely on the basis of allegations about what Ukranians think rather than what they do as a nation That is where we fundamentally differ. In our courts, churches, and synagogues, we ask for SOlLID BEHAVIOTQL evidence --- actual deeds -- and cosider unsupported allegations to be defamation. You defame and dirtying EVEREBODY around you --- the West as a whole, the EU, NATO, the Americans, the Germans, the Jews. You do that first and then try to manipulate the factscto justify your hate and predilection for defamation. You have pounted to a fundamental difference between us, my friend

  2479. With all due respect, Rabbi, you clearly lack the rudimentary knowledge of economics and certainly the knowledge of financial economics, which is more confusing to most people. In consequence, you have perpetuated, and by the force of your title have given credence to, the most vile anti-Semitic tropes popularized recently by Adolph. A reasonable viewer who takes your falsehoods for truth should conclude that (i) all money in the world belongs to the Jews and (ii) even a single Jew I'd so powerful that he can topple a government. That it what Adolph screamed to the crowds, that is what you said in your video. Both are false. Shiff did not topple the Russian government: he has refrained from prolonging its inevitable death. The tsarist government fell for the same reason the Soviet one fell: a country where people hold medeival views on the value of human life, dignity and property of others, and prefer power to the rule of law --- such a country is not competitive and eventually unable to survive. Tsars and Soviets died of natural causes. You made Shiff some kind of tsar of money. This is a joke: the vast majority of money in the world has always belonged to Gentiles. If Shiff is so powerful and evil -- why even talk to him, why not go to another, more powerful, bank? Most banks in the Anglo-American world were anti-Semitic in XIX century: no Jew could not get a job of a janitor at places such as JP Morgan or Brown Brothers Harriman before WW II (yes, that Harriman who was the American ambassador in Moscow). JP Morgan has personally prevented a crisis once by paying the debt of American government -- the government of an economic colossus. He was way more powerful than Shiff, and could certainly bail out a much smaller arussian ecobomy. Why not go to him for a loan? Answer: Russia could not get sufficient credit from anybody. Beeing backward, illiterate, and inaptly managed, it was not creditworthy. Banks deny credit to those who cannot pay back the loans. Did Shiff make Rissia backward, did he make Nicholai so spwctacularly inept, did he make the nobility so self-centered and resistant to reforms? Certainly not. Values have consequences. Whereas in the West nobility was raised with the sense of noblesse oblige (noble obligation to take care of ordinary people), no such though even existed in Russia until XIX century. The opposite is true: ordinary people were despised and abused by the nobility. The vast majority of American slaves were treated better than the vast majority of Russian serfs. No Shiff and no orher Jew has made Russia heartless. Similarly, a loan to Japan or any other country is not philanthropy: if Shiff gave such a loan, it was because Japan was creditworthy. Which implies that Japan could get a loan from another bank. This is basic economics, Rabbi. You have presented rational financial decisions of people as if they were acts of Zeus on Olympus: Shiff plays the role of Zeus and does whatever he wants with the mortals. One should normally laufh upon hering such ignorance, but I feel Luke crying. This is because your authoritatively presented ignorance has just empowered every anti-Semite in a country that is full of them. They will quote you for decades: "here, the Jews rule the world, a single one can topple a government, even their Rabbis says so." If what you said were true (it is not), how should an average Russian, Ukranian, or Belorussian feel and react? He must protect himself from the danger of "foreign" interference; that is the only logical conclusion he can reach. But the peemise is false, the conlusion stems from a lie. The lie that "the Jews rule the world" is a recent one. Until mid-1800s Europrans were largely Christian and another lie -- that Jews killed Christ - was sufficient. But how can you justify your hatred if are an atheist amd don't care about Christ? A new lie is needed: "thevJews are too prominent amd must be brought to heel." That is what you perpetuated and amd gave credence to, Rabbi. If I made such a mistake, I would get off the stage (stop making videos) forever and ask the Creator forgiveness every day for the rest of my life. Dismiss your admirerers, Rabbi: their praises appears to have gone to your head. Having dabbled into many areas -- with success in some, to be sure -- you began to believe that you have no limits. Your ignorance of rudimentary economics is not accidental, Rabbi: it is ignorance of arrogance. Your motivation was noble, I am sure -- to admit candidly that many Jews sold out Judaism for the communist idol, just as many Christians and Muslims did. Denied citizenship everywhere in Europe until Naoleon and falsely portrayed as "Christ-killers" by the Church, they were particularly vulnerable to propaganda that promised them EQUALITY FOR THE FIRST TIME and embraced the idol in great numbers. Whatever your motivation was, Rabbi, what you actually did was perpetrating a lie, a lie of the lowest, gutter, kind. Have you heard of the commandment "Thou shall not serve as false witness?" You have just served as false witness and done a great disservice to Jews and Gentiles alike. I wish you well, Rabbi. May HaShem count only your merits.

  2600. The Turkish Sultan, by contrast, invited the Jews expelled by Spain. He even questioned the intelligence of the monarchs, to wit: "I heat that Ferdinand and Isabella arw wise rulers, but hoe can wiae rulers expel the most productive members of society?" That's the difference between you even today amd the Sultan in 1492. You perceive everything as a zero-sum game: if someone gains it must be that someone loses. You are not alone: Greeks thought so, too, but 2300 years ago. Your mind, as you van see is not even medieval: it is ancient. The vast majority of interactions among people are not zero-sum games: people do have different interests (a seller wants to sell at a higher price and a buyer wants to buy lower), but the solution (exchange in this example) benefits both parties. Both profit, the sum of their gains is not zero but greater than zero. Maybe it is time to update your views from 2300 years ago? If you were to think and read more about what I said, you'd be amazed at how differently you would look at almost everything around you. These ideas are one fundamental ones, and many others flow from them. It is unlikely that you will even reread my post. Why change? My ancient thinking is familiar and comfortable (between disasters). It is truecthat I live in violence and govno, but it is my violence and my govno. The trick is to get to find a spot where YOU are protected from violence and where govno does not smell too much. It is comfortable to blame the Mongols, the Germans, the Americans. the Georgians, the Ukranians --- and always the Jews, of course. You are such dushevnye peoole but victims of terrible people. The naive Weat kept hoping that you would catch up with modern times some day but certainly has no illusions now. You LIKE living in sh-t and violence, bribing and kissing behinds of people in power -- and blaming others for your backwardness. Hate makes people stupid and leaves their children without hope for better, my friend, and you are full of hate. You always have a choice, however. You can stop hating in a heartbeat. It is difficult to decide whom to love, but you can always stop hating. Do it for the sake of your children I'd not for yourself.

  2617. The video is timely and informative. The use of the word "Russia" is inappropriate, however. The denouncements were as common in Ukrsine as in what is now RF. A dirt-poor Jewish family I knew fteequenly had dinner in the form of a piece of bread with vegetable oil --- in 1960s . The KGB shows up one day and tells the father: "We have unformation that you live beyond your means." To which the father, besides himself at that point, replied: "Your information is correct: we have no means live." It's hard to believe, but the visitors where embarassed. They looked at the single room in which the family lived (one room in a "communalka" with eight families), saw the abject poverty even by the Soviet standards, and silently left with visible signs of embarassment in their faces. It was later revealed that the denouncement was written by a neighbor who wanted the room of the family: the family looked unimportant, and who is going to defend the Jews? He was right: the denouncer was never punished. This happened in one of the largest Ukranian cities. Ukranians forgot G-d's Commandment "Though shall not serve as false witness" just as Russians and Belorussians did . A more intersting question is, how did Russian conscience reconcile the two under the tsars. How could a person go to church on Sunday and write a denouncement, serve as false witness, on Monday? Nobody seemed to have a peoblem with that. Serving the government was more importantvthan serving G-d, I guess. All this while claiming that the Russian Orthodoxy was the purest form of Christianity, the only true servant of G-d.

  2747. Peofessor Pivovarov is clearly a very moral person and takes his dutiea as a citizen very seriously. The latter is rare in Russia, where by the long-stabding tradition everyone else is at fault: the tsar, the boyars, the Mongols, the Germans, the Americans, the Ukrainians, the Jews --- oh yes, always The Jews. It is gratifying and refreshing to see a true Russian patriot. Professor Pivovarov is too hard on himself, however. Has the Russian intelligencia EVER performed its duties well? In the 1800s, it became increasingly dissatisfied with the system, but what positions did it take? Some were concerned with illiteracy and thought that going to the people ("v narod") was best. Others focused on the overthrow of the monarchy without thinking much about what would happen after they succeed. Marxist like Lenin and socialists of other varieties, in particular, had spent hardly a minute thinking about how a socialist society would function. Practically all of the intelligencia, as far as I know, rejected the accumulated experience of mankind and decided that constitutional monarchy and democracy are not suited for Russia: Russia has to find its own path. Well, it's been observed many times that the fools learn from their mistakes and the wise learn from the mistakes of others. Acting like fools, the intelligencia rejected the Western experience --- merely because it was Western. Under all the polemics and philosophically sounding words lied a very simple, centuries-old Russian chauvinism. Intelligencia debated everything except for what had already been proven to work -- a parliamentary republic, whether with or without monarchy. Nothing good comes out of foolish debates, of course. After a century of nonsense, the Bolsheviks took power and drenched the country in blood. The mob rules when it has no leaders. Russian intelligencia has never performed its duties (noblesse oblige), to a large extent because it has been, and still is, ill with the diseases of racism and chauvinism. Please don't be too hard on yourself, Peofessor. You personally are doing everything you can. Like everyone else, however, you need help but not getting much of it from the rest of the Rossiyskaya intelligencia.

  2806. ​ @valentina5462  Youvare correct, Valya. This is because it was people like you who prohibited the Jews across Europe to own land and to join professions --- for centuries. First you deny them citizenship (the Jews became citizens of France at the end of 1700s, after 1650 years of lublving there, in Germany, a century later), then you blame them for "wondering around;" first you deny them the right to join professional guilds, and then you allege that they don't like to work; when they resort to commerce --- the only way to earn bread that YOU have left the Jews --- you allege that they are in love with money; first you disallow Jews to own land amd then you allege that they don't like farming (whovdobyou think grows fruits and vegetables in Istaeli deserts?). What do all these instances have in common? Two aspects: all of those allegations are false, and mostvof you don't even know what you ate talking about. But generation after generation these falsehoods arw put forth to justify hatred. You kbow many other, in sure, such as the allegation that Jews do not fight for their countries. The fact is that the Jews fought, were decorated, and died for Germany in WW I in proportion greater than of the population. Adolf, for instance received Iron Cross --- it was pinned to his chest by a Jewish officer. That was not repeated in WW II, of course, because the Jews were dead in ovens or half-dead in concentration camps. Like to you, the heroism of thebJews in WW I did not matter to Adolf; like your he claimed that they did not fight and somehow profited from that war (oh, Jews and money again). The Irish, Italian, and Jewish Americans fought, were decorated, and died in aWW II in proportion greater that that of the population. They took part in our Civil War as well. The fact is, that Jews behaved as citizens even when they were denied the citizenship. But facts don't matter, do they, Valya?

  2934. When are you going to learn what natural resources are? RESORCES ATE NOT coal in the ground, forest in Siberia or fish in the rivers. RESOURCES are things needed and AVAILABLE for consumption or the production of other things. Coal is therefore a resource once it is mined and lies on the surface of the Earth, fish is a resource once it is caught and lies on the bank of the river, and forest is a resource (timber) once it is felled. Russia is a very poor country, and has always been poor. This is because it is too costly to mine coal, catch fish, and cut the trees in Russia. What makes them costly? The terrible, unproductive workforce. No workforce in the world can be productive if is perpetually drunk, stealing from employers, habitually evad8ng the law, instinctively giving bribes, etc. By the time such workforce cuts trees, catches fish, and mines coal, thes3 materials are too expensive: for an employer, it is cheaper to buy them abroad. To make the decision whether to produce in Russia or to buy elsewhere, one needs prices. Prices are the property of the MARKETS, and only of the markets. They didn't exist in the USSR. There was something your government called "prices," but those were simply some numbers chosen by the government. They prices adjust to changing circumstances, but artificial numbers cannot. This is why communism cannot modify itself and collapses. No markets, no prices, no sustainability. Everything I said above you can easily find in textbooks. The long, painful way out of poverty is therefore 1) to admit the truth ( you are a poor, unproductive country with the level of well-being slightly below that of Mexico); and, 2) begin to improve yourselves (learn foreign and computer languages, read about economics and society in those languages). You prefer vacations in Turkey and to own instead of rent real estate. Ownership is ALWAYS more expensive than rent (if you know how to count money), and only about 63% of Americans can afford it. Why are you more entitled? You are not: own an apartment --- lose a job in 10 years, because you have become too expensive and outdated for anyone to hire you. There are no miracles here. Good luck, my friends, bit you need much more than luck here. You need to take your thinking out of the 1700s.

  2943. Solonin, shouldn't you learn some economic history and history of thought before you come to conclusions in such complex matters? You speak of Marxism, socialisms, and the October coup as if it where the same thing . Actually, before even finishing the sentence, you jump... to Checkoslovakia-- what a mess in your head. Who was laughing at Marx? Ask when la Sorbonne has turned communist -- not socialist, communist? Name one capitalist country in Europe. Social security was The French hated capitalism from the start and still refer to it in racist terms as "the Anglo-Saxon model." Social security (pensions, etc.) was introduced into the wotld by Bismark. The collectivist thinking was and is common on the Continent. Many prejudices against finance (if someone gains in trade, then someone else looses, financiers do not produce anything) have been axioms in Ancient Greece. These economic issues are inseparable from the notions of liberty and the limits on government. These are complex issues, and one cannot explain the popularity of socialism without analysis of those issues. You are not even making a mistake, Mr. Silonin: you do not understand the essence of the problem. Like a child fascinated by the Sun who tries to explain what he sees by the glasses he wears, you try to explain the appeal of socialism by... hectars, crops, and other such nonsence. The curious child would be better off by (i) suspending judgement and (ii) opening a physics textbook. And so would you, sir: suspend judgement until you open textbooks -- and you need a large number of them in this case. What puzzles me is a seeming contradiction:l. You are clearly an intellectual analyzing the world you see around you. Where does the arrogamce come ftom, the intellectual arrogance of thinking that you can deduce the truth by gazing long enough at your navel. That is what you do in this case: all that statistical trivia you annunciate is nothing navel-gazing.

  3431. Never has Lyubov been so wrong. Did you notice, ma'am, that you said what the Central Bank is NOT rather than what it is? The printing of money (which is NOT done by the Central Bank in the US) is a minor function of your Bank. Its main task is to control simultaneously (i) inflation and (ii) employment or, almost equivalently, the national product. This is difficult, because you choke the economy when you choke inflation, and you increase inflation when you let the economy expand too quickly. Nowhere in the world does the Central Bank have ANY power over what the government does or how it spends the money (budget). All it can do is to REACT to the actions of the government, however reckless and stupid those actions may be. In the present circumstances, the Central Bank is the only institution that cares about ordinary people. The compsrison with Hitler is one of the most stupid ones I have ever heard. Should doctors stop working under Natzis, should priests stop working, should bus drivers stop working --- or should they do the best under the difficult circumstances? You equate a doctor saving lives of ordinary peoole with someone condictin medical experiments in a concentration camp. I would not hire the man who compared NaIbiulina to the Natzis to walk my dog - this man is too stupid for a German shepherd. Lyubov, this is perhaps the only time you have lost your moral compas and logic so completely. Like nost peoole, including Lipsits, you don't know what a change is. Suppose a doctors gives aspirin to a patient with a fever, amd his temperature goes up the next day. Has the aspirin failed to work, is the doctor a Nazi? Of course not: the fever went up because the underlying disease continuues, but the TEMPERATURE WOULD HAVE GONE UP MORE without the aspirin. One cannot conclude from the rising temperature that the treatment does not work. You may have an excuse for making this error but not Lpsitz, who is a statisticiqn playing the role of an economist on TV. The desease here is inflation cauaed by the war. The patient (the Russian economy) will not get better until the war ends, and the temperature (the rate of inflation) keeps going up. The Central Bank gives the patient some medicine (high interest rates), which helps but cannot eliminate the disease (the war and inflation), over which it has no power whatsoever. The medicine helps: without it a huge, the poorest part of the Russian people would be much worse off.

  3453. Thank you very much, Mr. Mlechin, for yet another informative video and your moral clarity. So much has already been written about that period, which makes it all the more difficult to contribute something new. You so find the facts that haven't been sufficiently illuminated, however, and that alone is an achievement. What I find singularly unique is the overarching question you seem to addressing in your lectures: what is the human nature, what is it that moves people to become heroes and villains? As difficult as thos question is, you provide enormously deep insights. In the context of the Holocaust, human nature is at the center but has remained hidden under the avalanche of the documentaries. For a religious Jew or a Christian, there is no "problem of evil:" evil exists, and one of the tasks of a G-dly person is to be on his guard not to commit evil. For an atheist, it is a significant problem: there is no Creator for them, hence the Bible is a collection of myths, and all of its admonitionst to stay away from evil are fairy tales. The atheists claim that people commit bad deeds out of ignorance, and the path to goodness is therefore education. (Just a moment of reflection reveals this to be share nonsence: love and compassion come from the heart , whereas education works only on the brain). So, how can an atheist explain the Holocaust? By the ignorance of the German people: a great orator Adolf has supposedly mesmerized the nation. That this is factually incorrect doesn't matter to them: Vienna and Germany were the best places where you wanted to be as a scientist, philosopher, or doctor at the turn of the 20th century. The actual answer lies in human nature, the nature of regular Germans, just as the nature of the modern Russia or Americans. You invite people, very tactfully and thoughtfully, to look at themselves. This alone makes your contribution singularly unique and precious, Mr. Mlechin. May the Creator continue to bless you, sustain you, and support you in all your endeavors.

  3497. Nobody destroyed thebasoviet Communism, my friend: it collapsed under its own woght amd died a natural death. This system is against human mature and cannot live long. It actually has never lived: there had always been exchange of private property and the market. Only the market was closed to you and open to those who held power. The private property in turn, was not created like under capitalism but stolen from the people. You vote for me -- I give am apartment in thevceter of the city-- the market was alive amd well from the start. All those "closed" shops, sanatoria, "doma otdycha" -- even coupons for mistresses were distributed. The rule of law and basic human decency were exchanged for an extra loaf of white bread. A system like this cannot adjust to changing times, because it punishes innovation. Under capitalism, you become rich only by creating something peoole want: only then will they pay for it and make you rich. Under communism, from the very beginning, you bece rich by finding and kissing am appropriate behind. No innovation, nobody is better off except the kisser of the owner of the behind. Your communism would've collapsed earlier were it not for WW II. That war led to enormous donations from the West (you don't know about that even today) and gave an excuse for the co tinting abuse. You have nothing to eat? Well, that's because of thrvwar. Nowhere to live? That's because of the war. Money for tanks and palaces for the party leaders were always available, however. The system would've collapsed earlier had it not been for the war. Nobody killed Soviet Communism : it died a natural death.
