Where do you make the connection that merely "associating" with Solovyov (if you consider appearing for an interview to be associating with him, personally or professionally) ddnigrates the correctness of his viewpoints? As an example: Sachs asserts that, during his time as economic advisor to Boris Yeltsin, the "shock therapy" doctrine that was advocated for Poland was simply not allowed to be carried out in Russia. Every single request he put in to DC for funding Poland's government, he received. When he did the same thing in Moscow, he almost always got rejected. From this, he concluded that there was an inconsistent approach to the funding aspect of shock therapy, and that the US fumbled its opportunity to transition Russia to a capitalist economy, ruining it for a decade. Solovyov would agree with this sentiment, based around the same facts: the amount of funding Russia received was indeed less than Poland— with a population 4x as large. The amount given to the respective economies was clearly unequal, when the advice given by the shock therapists was to give Russia at least as much aid as Poland, proportional to its economy and population. The US government did not even heed the advice of its own economists working with the Russians. Sachs and Solovyov are drawing similar conclusions based on the same set of facts. So I'm struggling to understand how the conclusion is somehow less true just because Solovyov believes it? How is it less true because he believes it? I'd like to know.
