This interview did not age well😂😂😂
It's just standard lowbrain western propaganda. zzzzz
David Hoffman is a dreamer
He's an imbecile.
Boy this didn’t age well…
Putin is kickin our asses! LoL
its does seem true in every words
that's exactly the ground truth is in communist regime. there's a state in india which was ruled for 40 years by communist party. for them party was everything everything else is collateral. until a lady leader threw them out of the governance.
Well well... doesn't look like this lie is aging very well.
Twisted half truths and in-your-face deceit.
HE also lacks a good understanding of what the CIA does in other countries to Thwart true democracies from developing. PBS should think again about this interview.
It's likely intentional
he's a true believer @@phillipholland6795
Oh look a conspiracy theorist with all bluster no bite. Who would've thought we'd see one of those in the comments?
@@quickfeed7592 Do some research brainwashed.
Victoria Nuland’s 2013 speech she revealed that since 1991 the U.S. had spent $5 billion to help bring about Ukraine’s “aspirations.”
Part of the $5 billion the U.S. spent was to help organize protests.
February 4th 2014 National Endowment for Democracy board member and then Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland.
(Nudelman)
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED),
which funds NGOs in countries the U.S. targets for regime change, had bankrolled 65 projects in Ukraine totaling more than $20 million.
(NED) is funded primarily by an annual allocation from the the US Congress. (NED) received $300 million in 2021, from US taxpayers.
The NED is Founded by
Allen Weinstein and Carl Gershman who worked at B'nai B'rith and officer of the Young People’s Socialist League (YPSL), youth arm of the Socialist Party of America.
These (Neocons) are the same people who in the last 30 years champion the U.S. to fight wars in Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya.
America military leaders have warned us about this;
“Rootless cosmopolitans”
we have a huge problem with a class of so-called elites, the people who are wealthy, very wealthy in many cases and they are, as the Russians used to call certain individuals many, many years ago, rootless cosmopolitans.”, they have no connection to the country.
One of very few people who did their homework! NED and ISW, the, seemingly, are very different, have the origins in the same circles.
There are so many parallels it is quite impossible that they aren't connected.
What do Nancy Kagan (the founder of ISW, AKa Victoria Nuland's brother in-law's wife), Victoria Nulkand (AKA The Cookie Lady, also known for her middle name: F..k the EU), Jennnet Yellen, Anthony Blinken, UK's MoD Schapps, Zelenski, Yermak........ , have in common?
You can't create a popular mass protest movement by just throwing money at people.
If it was true that the US could create massive popular anti-government protests out of the aether that would overthrown the government why would they be doing it in Ukraine instead of Russia?
DARPA actually looked into this as a possibility in the 60s, called "Project Camelot". This was a failure. They tried to find "brainwashing" techniques with MK Ultra because they couldn't understand why Americans ended up supporting communism etc. and believed that the USSR and China had discovered a way to "program" the human mind (this was a result of a moral blindspot or really blindness given that these were the same people who were doing stuff like torturing Patrice Lumumba to death etc. and didn't see anything wrong with it). This is all Men Staring at Goats nonsense, it doesn't work, people need a reason to hit the streets, risk arrest, beatings, death etc. and a few hundred bucks or some sandwiches is not going to cut it.
I really enjoy that you believe that the Socialist Party of America has a hold on the US government or is part of the neocon establishment. This is the party of Eugene V. Debbs, founder of the IWW, who campaigned on an anti-war platform during WWI and was arrested during his campaign under the sedition act for his opposition to the war (and continued his campaign from jail).
As for the antisemitism, it's the anticapitalism of fools, trying to understand systemic problems in the world and coming up with a facile explanation "bad people control the world", a half-truth that is worse than a lie and leads people like you continuously tilting at windmills with your crackpot conspiracies in RUclips comment sections.
Thank you very much for the info. Much appreciated.
@@fifi23o5 .. They are Jews. That aside, it is more important that we focus on their political side, not sosio ethnically. They are Neocons. We have to look toward economic/politics motivation. If you want to read something that can explain where 'the deep state' got its money, you should read the book 'Gold Warriors: America's Secret Recovery of Yamashita's Gold by Peggy Seagrave'. It is still active today. This is the foundation of the American political system & foreign policy. If not stopped, it will kill us all.
and a big part of organizing protests in Ukraine was the CIA training and arming nazi militias in that country
This is brilliant. This series of videos could well form the foundation of a graduate course in contemporary Russian issues. Deepest respect to the producers of Frontline both for doing these interviews and sharing them on RUclips. Thank you.

I find it hilarious that all of these experts know Putin more than Putin knows himself.
Hilarious too that all these "experts" PBS assembled for their "Putin Files" all say the exact same thing about Putin almost as if they are reading from a script; even more hilarious is how over the top obsessed and paranoid they are about Putin - on one hand they tell us how Russia is a faded declining power while on the other hand telling us how Putin has weaponized everything conceivable against the West and is behind everything wrong in the world.
Right it’s so ridiculous
5 years later... In the meantime all the truth came out and we can only ask ourselves did he tell all these lies because he was paid or because he was just a naive ignorant? Or maybe something else? Thanks for keeping online these videos so that we can refresh our memories of what narratives were circulating at that time.
You are spot on 🎯
Tell all these lies ? What you yapping about blud?
@@user-hf9fr8se3f do you even know that the guy who invented the Russia collusion stories admitted that was all fake? That Hillary staff guy I don't remember the name. And this is just one example. It all came out. The question is where were you to miss it all??
@@user-hf9fr8se3f everything in this video is a lie
according to FBI investigations and congressional testimoney
nothing in here is true
the opposite is actually true, the russians were trying to help the DNC
all of this is made up to manipulate the gullible liberals
Bill Binney told the truth about the Russian hack of the DNC computer. Data was transferred internally and taken out of the building. Guess that’s why the FBI refuses to release the file on a certain young who was caught up in a “robbery gone bad’. And when they do after 75 years it will be so heavily redacted won’t be readable.
I am a kid of the late Cold War 70’s till the fall of the Berlin Wall. Spent my childhood in Europe in the 80’s. My Russian ex girlfriend and other friends ascribe a good deal of the fall of the Soviet Union came from bootleg VHS tapes of movies, tv shows and cassette tapes. The exposure to western specifically US culture and consumerism & prosperity are what drove the populace to turn its back on Soviet Style Communism.

@@JurisKankalis no. But your opening sentence indicates that you're incapable of intelligent discussion. Ciao
People in the West are in a complete vacuum, all alternative information has been cleaned out, what is beneficial to your government is being served, the situation in Ukraine is not the same as your media draw, you live and look into a "crooked mirror" that distorts everything that is happening, I advise you, you need to look for an alternative, look for independent publications, information in the media to find out at least some truth.And I also want to ask a question to your media, journalists.1- why do you publish news only from the Ukrainian side?Why don't you come to the settlements where the Russian troops and the troops of the People's Republics are stationed, you don't talk to the residents of the territories liberated from the Nazi battalions, and they have something to tell you.2. why don't you come to Russia and talk to the millions of refugees who escaped the bombing of the Kiev regime and found refuge in Russia.3- why don't you show stories about how the Russian army delivers tons of humanitarian aid to Ukraine, rescues civilians from bombing by Ukrainian troops, the Azov regiment - real Nazis who do not spare anyone, it is profitable for them to kill more civilians and concoct a fake, a picture for the Western media, a living example of "Butch", it has long been proven that this is a hoax, there is evidence that it was done by the Ukrainian special services, but they will not show them to you.Journalists, come to Ukraine, but not to the western part, but to its eastern part, where people in the territories liberated from the Nazis will tell you a lot of interesting facts, come to Russia and talk to refugees from Ukraine.People are looking for an alternative, everything is not so one-sided, as you are told!The troops of the Ukrainian army have been killing people in the east of Ukraine for 8 years, children are dying, your media are silent!Putin came to put an end to this war, to stop the killing of people by the Kiev regime, thousands of adults and hundreds of children were killed, these are people who did not support the coup d'etat and European integration in Ukraine, first Poroshenko, now Zelensky, decided to destroy these people.And it is.

Bush senior was the CIA director, was he ever measured against that?
Certainly one of the biggest scumbags to ever sit in that chair but his son may have surpassed him on that regard as a record holding war criminal, even Putin couldn't hold a candle to his numbers.
I wish Eisenhower could see where we ended up.
I'm sure he could've guessed.
It would kill him. All that sacrifice. For this?
Remember growing up in the 80s when conservative absolutely hated Russia! To see what the GOP/MAGA base has came to would have St. Ronny Reagan rolling over in his grave!!!"
Ike must be rolling hard in his grave. He warned us about the military industrial complex and the CIA, Kennedy listened and was killed for listening and then his brother listened and was killed for listening and then everyone seemed to stop listening and forgot Ike's warning.
FRONTLINE: These interviews are OUTSTANDING!! Thank you SO MUCH!
It seems that this man really believes what he is saying.After 5 years propably he is enjoying hearing this again.
What are you farting about, putin rat?
Why do you expound for us on what he’s getting wrong. We’re all ears here young scholar.
I am a Russian American, I was 12 and part of Communist youth movement when the Soviet Union fell apart. Then there was chaos and I grew up in it. Most of what Americans hear about USSR is propaganda and vice versa (Russian propaganda is strong too), somewhere in the middle there is the truth. What this man is saying is fairly accurate, based on my recollection of living through the fall of the USSR. During the early 90s there was so much murder and so much crime in Russia, it was hell.
Bro I live in Russia right now and I can tell you the quality of life here is higher than most of the metropolitan cities in the USA which is where I'm originally from LOL. Traditional values and great places to take my children. Russia is very good.
My heart goes out to the Russian and Ukrainian citizens right now with Putin’s invasion of Ukraine Russian soldiers who are forced to be in their military are being killed for no other reason than Putin’s desire to reinstall the Soviet Union. If you have family there I hope they stay safe.

It's so refreshing to listen to someone who really knows what he's talking about. It's encouraging to hear him say "I don't know" sometimes, and then explain a possibility as such, not as a fact.
How
Refreshing? I just about puke listening to this cia paid off tool.

@Rafael Literal - I agree completely. And I am certainly not influenced by the negativism of trolls who don't have a single historical fact to their comments, only ad hominem arguments.
Oh yes! Fast forward to 2021, after the January 6th Insurrection, this documentary is extremely important. That vile man would never have become POTUS if not for his buddy Vlad.
This is all secondary information and or hearsay.
58:40 he says putin was wrong for wanting a strong security for a capitalist state. I wonder where he could have gotten that idea from? This guy is obviously 🙄 one of those people who criticise everything about everyone without realising weather it applies to themselves and the irony and hypocrisy involved
So this guy was wrong about everything??
Basically
This guy is a real piece of work!
He fails to mention U.S. involvement in the 2014 coup in Ukraine.
Oh yes, he's a real piece of work all right. Oozing with heavily biased, subjective opinions, carefully intertwined in truthful history so as to cover deliberate lies.
It's pretty easy to pick out what he has altered or omitted, but most here are way too lazy to check for themselves.
Pity he doesn't reference his 'opinions' with credible sources.

I talk with so many people in Russia. They have great respect and are thankful for Putin. Life is so much better under his leadership. I expect Putin will win March 17 election by a landslide. The ones that left Russia didn't like Putin at the beginning of the SMO.
I hope you do a follow-up with David Hoffman
Hailing from Czechia. Good work. I also appreciate `I dont know` answers.
Its how we know he’s being honest in what he himself understands and doesn’t understand. He could be like “this is a fact.” When in fact it’s a supposition. It really is refreshing.

Thank you Frontline PBS and Washington Post journalist David Hoffman, most enlightening! I've also enjoyed the "Putin File" episodes as well. Keep up the great work!
The talk about the Soviet Union in the 1980s mirrors a paper I wrote in college. I took a class comparing capitalism, communism, and socialism from the standpoint of economics, management, and workforce development. For an electrical engineer, that was a weird elective class to take. My grandfather was a hardcore socialist/communist. I wanted to understand all of these things more than just from the nightly news of us vs them. Iirc, I called the paper, “the coming economic downturns of the Soviet Union” where I argued that they were going to see an economic downturn worse than the Great Depression in the US. The guy teaching it had been in the state department in the early Reagan administration. He thought I was too negative about the prospects of the ussr. A few years later, I ended up being not negative enough.
Mark989 has nothing to do with low IQ populations I feel it has more to do with the accessibility of free flowing thought and free flowing information.
@Mark989 interesting
I am an EE too. I think it is ironic that the USA is free, except on the internet where we get cancel culture. It beats a bullet in the head, but I am still complaining about banned voices. And China quit the bullet in the head 10 years ago. Now it is lethal injection in a van.

Hats off to president Putin. I respect any leader that can pull the country out of the abyss of destruction!!!
By visiting destruction on other people? What a disgusting comment. Any number of "good" (good for whom?) decisions (based on self-interest and fear) do not justify a marauding psychotic's invasion of a sovereign nation and the indiscriminate MURDER of innocent civilians in Ukraine, or anywhere, to prove his strength. Putin's actions in Crimea, in Ukraine, present a clear challenge: accept his arrogant show of force and tell the world that force, not the rule of law, is what matters, or respond in a way that leaves no doubt that his actions put the entire world in peril. His actions must elicit a strong and united response from all those who believe in justice, and thankfully, Biden and other nations have made this response. You should be ashamed to state publicly that you support him.
He (they) created the chaos, first, plundered the country, robbed its citizens, and then "saved" it, becoming insanely rich.
Typical "heroes" of the ignorant fools. 😏

I met a Russian, in the 90's, he was amazing, and full of stories of what it was like in the Soviet Union, he told me he was actually scared of us, from all the stories he was told, and I said I was told all sorts of stuff as well, but on the whole Ivan, was just another man, not a monster, but a cool human being, who deserves a chance to be successsful, and happy, like what we all want for ourselves, but unfortunately, since he was Russian, nobody wanted to hire him for what he trained for, in Engineering, worried he may be a spy, he was planning on going back to Russia, and continue his life, knowing that this was a wonderful country, unlike anything he'd been told about us!
We here in America have all been brainwashed about Russians the truth is they are very good honest people and the truth is the USA has been controlled by evil leaders and liars , here's one for you my friend in 1917 when the Russians were forced into communism there were secretly powerful people from America who were a big part of putting them under such a terrible government true story we were responsible for what we were told is evil ?

@Munk I don't think they meant that. I think they meant the illegal immigration. I don't know anybody right or left that wouldn't agree that illegal immigration is a huge problem and that it must be stopped so that US can put it's resources i.e. our money, towards Americans of all colors and creeds that need the support. There are many Americans HERE that need resources and money is finite. There isn't enough money to support all the Americans that need help and all the people of other nations that illegally come here. Unless you would like a communist state as this video discusses, and just as this video alludes to, it does not redistribute the wealth but rather redistributes the property. So if you insist on no borders, that is what you get. I don't know a nation in the world that does not enforce their borders. "Snowflake?" Yes, the snowflakes usually loathe border security, and tend to like to promote as much chaos as possible in hopes of reaching a socialist state that gives way to Communism
Wow the Russian general was so right as america is doing exactly all that
where what
This guy is misleading a little bit, European Union did send 900 pages agreement for Ukrane to become a EU member to Ukrainian government. Obviously journalists did let that information to leak out to public, while this was going on, the Ukrainian government finished reading that agreement and realized that if they will sign that agreement, the country was going to become an American & EU’s slave.
For example, while Ukraine is in agreements with Russia, the country was selling to Europe billion dollars’ worth of grains, right after Ukrainians would sign it, they would be only selling $ 300 million worth of same trade deal! And there is 900 pages of that type of restrictions.
In another words USA & Europe did know upfront that Ukraine in 99% of their time will never agree to that type of deal. On top of that, Ukraine was officially tight up by a bunch of different agreements with Russia and other ex USSR countries with Tax free or customs free trade unions , plus government already received $ 3 billion out of full 15 billion deal from Russia as a partner help. And after government speaker announced on TV that signature getting postponed or it never will be signed at all, Some liberal university students plus different people come out to Maidan district with disagreement protests, of course after some times the government had to culm this people down and get them of the streets. The local special force police operation unit called "Berkut" had to move on and clear the strikers. They were a little over the top, but never aggressive enough as French police dealing with Yellow jackets strikes in Paris.
Anyway, after people got little beat the magic happens! Ms., Victoria Nuland shows up with some cookies and US decided to sponsor the another revolution, where they always unconstitutionally try to change regime and replace current president with new pro-American candidate.
I can tell you so much info that you guys just don't hear or see in US with all those crooked tv channels like CNN will never tell you the tru story. If someone have a questions, you are welcome to ask.
This is hilarious to watch now that the current sitting president is trying to jail his future competition.

Я😮Зеленський далеких від мене особисто Дякую за увагу за ефір в інтернеті є такі слова що не зашкодить нам
The idea that a post for Putin in East Germany was a boring outpost is absolutely ridiculous. It was the focus of the cold war!
@Atlantis I was in Dresden 1988 the year before the Berlin wall fell. My point is that to say the Putin The "Rezident" had a boring menial job in Germany is simply ridiculous. He was at the center of it.
@Atlantis I think you have been watching too many James Bond Movies. Yes there are field agents of course but much of the work is done from a desk using information gathering and making tactical decisions. If you were expecting to see Putin as a spy with shades and a trench coat, you would be disappointed..
@Atlantis The KGB staff were all over the world and recruited people all over, so you are correct there. Do you think KGB bosses are hiding in bushes with cameras or are they behind desks? I say again, a spy agency is composed of all manners of staff from the field to the policy makers at the top. Just because Putin wasn't in the bushes with his camera, doesn't mean he wasn't an influential character in the organisation. How come many of his side kicks are also former KGB colleagues and he as President today? Of course he had influence in the organisation, it would be naïve to think he didn't. What Hoffman is saying is just an attempt to make Putin look like a disgruntled little man which does not do the history of the matter justice.
@Atlantis you were the one who said Dresden not me, of course they were!
If you're talking about Berlin maybe, Dresden though? Firstly it was inside a Soviet puppet regime so he wasn't doing any foreign espionage, he was just handling people from the Soviet side of the iron curtain, secondly Dresden was a backwater town in East Germany (which was itself a bit of a backwater). He was collecting newspaper clippings and briefing/debriefing professors, managers etc. visiting the East on industrial espionage. It was a desk job which is why Putin's hard man persona is so funny, it's a fantasy.
Thank you.
Excellent interview.
It's incredible that both Americans and Russians think that socialism and capitalism are mutually exclusive, and that you can't have democracy and socialism, or dictatorship or communism and capitalism... all of this is obviously complete bullshit. Any state economy needs a fair bit of socialism and capitalism in order to even work. And democracy is all about voting how much socialism vs how much capitalism you want. All people need socialism and capitalism, each and every one of us are born socialists, completely unable to take any kind of responsibility for our own lives, but rather just hanging on mommies tits. And then we grow up and learn to take responsibility and most people become more conservative and capitalist, because when you go to work and work for all your money, then you want to keep it for yourself. With pure socialism there is no wealth, there are only a bunch of people expecting a hand out, and none of them are working to create any wealth, because they are purely socialist and expect others to create the wealth for them and give it to them. With pure capitalism you get no welfare, only the working class get their wages and whatever trickles down onto the rest is down to the charity of whomever is earning any money.
Socialism is defined as any redistribution of wealth.... well it would seem then that capitalism IS a form a socialism. It takes the wealth created by the workforce and redistributes it to the rich guy! The guy who started the business ;-) If you are a business owner, which anybody in the free world is free to be, then you have employees in your business and you capitalize on the actaul value that your workforce is creating. The capitalist does not create his own wealth, Bill Gates didn't program Windows 10 down in a basement all by himself and Elon Musk didn't design all of those spacerockets and Teslas that he is sending into orbit around Mars. The WORKFORCE creates the wealth. And when you capitalize on the workforce, it is completely fair and square that you pay taxes back to the state, because the state needs to look out and take care of the workforce and their families, and make sure that there even is a qualified workforce for the capitalist to capitalize on! The state can use those money that are collected through taxes and redistribute wealth and make a welfare available to the people, make sure that the working force and their families actually have whatever they need.
And what do I mean by welfare? Well, it's nice to be able to send your kid off to school, nice to not have to worry about being able to get to a doctor if you are sick, nice to not have roads, pavements, bridges and all sorts of infrastructure. Nice to have some sort of security and feeling of safety, that if your boss fires you tomorrow, you will still be able to keep a roof over your hear, feed your family, send your children off to get educated and go to the doctors if you get sick. When we vote, we're simply towing the robe in each direction to get some sort of balance between socialism and capitalism. Want more socialism? Vote Bernie Sanders! Want more capitalism, vote Donald Trump. And if you think that there are too little viewpoints or ideologies represented in the political parties of your country, simply create your own party, try and recruit members, collect signatures and run in free and fair elections. That's freedom and democracy.
And to be a little nationalistic here. I believe that I live in a country that struck gold regarding this whole robetowing between capitalism and socialism. I live in Denmark, a social welfare state, where we indeed pay a lot of tax, but at the same time have very strong unions ensuring a well paid workforce. After taxes, which are indeed huge. more than 50%, an average working class dane has just as much as an average working class american., and the minimum paid danish workforce have it much better better than the minimum paid american workforce. Any dane is free to start up their own business, and they will probably find it easy to get started since government is fairly quick to grant you investments to get started with the business. And any dane is also sort of free to simply just screw all of us and stay home and collect a welfare check every month to the day they die from boredom. They can go to the doctors. They can get educated. Tons of stuff that danes can choose to do with their lives, they can even start a small shop selling pillows and covers and grow it to a huge multinational business employing people all over the world. All in all i'd say danes are definitely more free than Americans and have far less worries in life :-)
When it comes to the socialism vs capitalist robe towing it's also a balancing of the workforce, there is a publicly employed workforce and a privately employed workforce, and the more socialism you have within a nation, the bigger will be you public workforce, the more capitalism the bigger will be your private workforce, upto the point where the workforce is uneducated and died because they couldn't get medical help or whatever bullshit happened to them. We need both socialism and capitalism, and politics and particularly democracy is about towing the robe! Could we please get Russians and Americans to look at Denmark and Scandinavia and maybe stop all these brutal ideological proxy-wars throughout the world, with Russias communist ideology on one side, and Americas free market ideology on the other side?
When is the last time your country innovated a technology, or exactly how would you prevent Russia from invading you and completely stomping your ass. How much in foreign aid does your country give, how many immigrants of color including letting unvetted fighting age men? Face it you are like Canada and the E.U. living off the backs of the American taxpayers. How much does your country pay to NATO, are you even in NATO because I know only 2 countries were paying their fair share. Hell we just gave 13 billion to Ukraine alone how much did your country give. How many troops do you have available to fight in Ukraine. I for one am tired of paying welfare for the whole of Europe while idiots brag about how great they are while bashing America
Who's watching in 2022 after Russia's invasion of Ukraine?
Thanks for being Honest!!
haha
Amazing and informative interview
So ... do you know David Hoffman? I'm just curious why you immediately believe everything he says without question? Think about it ... maybe he's right, maybe he's wrong, probably both. You should be more skeptical. The world can't be explained by ONE PERSON. This interview is not journalism. A single source? So .. David Hoffman, as great as he may or may not be, is the sole source of truth and justice? Keep in mind, this is just an interview of one person's opinion, it's not truth absolute. Just saying.
@@punkypinko2965 If you don’t know whether or not Mr. Hoffman knows his subject material, why would you call it into question?
@@punkypinko2965 ...when people see / hear what they 'want', all critical thinking is forgotten.
This man does have a lot of factual information, but he is also languishing up to his eyeballs in biased subjectivity.
Yet, few people here seem aware of it.
@@hansderaeymaeker9137 Yeah critical thinking is rare, it seems to me. That's why politics is so polarized. Most voters are easily lead to believe whatever their political party tells them and the whole point of political parties, at least in America with the Republicans and Democrats, is to divide people.
nearly every person that was interviewed stresses that putin saw and sees his power threatened by the united states 'out of a feeling' that he 'felt' that the us had a part in the colour revolutions and the protests in russia itself. i can't help but wonder how a guy who is otherwise described as a cold, intelligent and fast thinking person with the ability to set and pursue strategic goals would take such drastic decisions like sending troops to seize crimea out of a 'feeling'. he must have based his decisions on intelligence, right ?
Seriously?!? You can describe Stalin as intelligent, strategic, and all the wonderful qualities that gave him such immense power he slammed an Iron Curtain across Europe--along with creating roads of bones out of people randomly pointed out as enemies and targeted from a combination of paranoia, mental cruelty, mental health problems including psychopathy, and dictatorial authoritarianism. That was Putin's textbook as he grew up in a Hell of Stalin's making, and you think he can't have bats in his belfry AND run Russia like a basic back-alley thug?!?
he's a greedy, venal rat, who hates the idea of losing his power and money
You're over rating his intelligence. He was a middling kgb guy who covered a corrupt mayors stealing money, covered Yeltsin as he stole money, and stole & paid off cronies. He's not that smart, just corrupt & lucky.
@@arthurswanson3285 @C Smith I'm sorry if I chose the wrong expression, I'm not a native English speaker. I actually meant that he must have based his decisions on reports from the intelligence community. I honestly don't want to judge his personal intelligence because I believe he is not emotionally stable at least not the way he projects, therefore his capacity to judge objectively is questionable. I can't asses whether this is actually true or based in reality, but there is a guy on twitter who claims to translate letters from an inside FSB source, '@igorsushko', this would explain why he actually really makes decisions based on false assumptions.

Hello Comrade. I am here to talk to you about the importance of...water during an interview.
All jokes aside. Tons of data really interesting to listen to .
That's why he took access to the sea. Is that the water you are talking about. Location. And Location. I hope it's true they are fighting hard for their country 😔
Very enlightened dialogue. So refreshing. But so so sad to have such shallow pointless disharmony and conflict between nations. The essence is failure to take from private life out into one’s working life, the same standards of care that one offers oneself, one’s family and one’s friends.
Ppp
Thanks yet again for the interview.My entire understanding of any kind of Russian behaviour founders on the assumption they experience power the way we do,and I'm Canadian which is a socialistic society comfortable in a corporate capitalist culture.If I'm hearing Mr. Hoffman right they do not have any of these restraints.My question is not so much what happens with Putin but what happens after him?
There are two streams in Russia predominately (87%) Jewish Oligarchs that are pro-western and military-intelligence that is pro Asian! Hopefully, and all indication point to (Medvedev is a goner because of his weak response in UNSC when Libya was destroyed to dust, most prosperous and rich country in North Africa) it will be someone from DoD or FSB/SVR. Currently Sergei Shoigu is leading, but anything can happen in next 5-6 years! Even a termonuclear war!
Oligarchs must taxated, some of "their" property they illegaly gained should be nationalized and some players put in prison! Putin started great, he did all those things and exiled Oligarchs to London! Unfortunately he did not finish the job entirely!
After putin: Struggle between the slavophiles and westerners
Peace
Exactly RUSSIA DESPERATELY IS BLESSED THIS TIME AND I PRAY GOD CONTINUES TO HELP US ALL REMAIN HELPS SINCERE FOR ONE ANOTHER.

Totally agree 💯 .
This is amazing. History recounted in a "telling the tale" style. Easy on the ears, food for the brain. Explains so much.
Is this satire? I can't tell.
I paid $75 for my first car from a neighbor that needed $50 worth of parts. I put the new clutch in with advice from the school automotive teacher who I met at our vocational school I was required to take a class at. This was 1982 at that time in the Soviet Union it took ten year of waiting on a list to get a car and it cost you 15000 ruble or $80,000 in buying power as close as I can tell. God bless America and American production. 1975 Pontiac Sun Bird four cylinders of freedom and girls.
In East Germany we had to wait about 20 years for a Trabbi. Lada was a very Porsche of the east.
Putin wants to exploit Russia for his own advantage (greed and obsession of money ) , dislikes the values of the west , but himself he wants to live like a billionaire in the west. Disgusting human being.
I registered and take 2 adults and a child from Ukraine in. They might live with me for many years
Probably no longer possible. Detroit doesn't look like a very productive or prosperous city these days. People in Russia see what life has become in the West and they don't want NATO , US bases or EU on their doorstep!

Incredible times with Gorbachev... I loved him when he was at his best!
And I don't specifically recall much of this, I just remember this as an amazing time, but don't recall the election of Andrei Sakharov.
We should have supported Gorbachev more at the beginning.
Aaron Maté is a journalist and producer. He hosts Pushback with Aaron Maté on The Grayzone. In 2019, Maté was awarded the Izzy Award (named after I.F. Stone) for outstanding achievement in independent media for his coverage debunking Russiagate in The Nation magazine. In other words, everything David Hoffman is saying about Russiagate is false.
Correct, of course.
Mr Hoffman obviously has an agenda. His bias and inaccuracies stick out like a sore thumb....
Waiting for you to retract!
Coming from an Asian country and living in US really made me understand that we have entirely different mindsets about democracy and US intentions. My own country, which has strong ties with Putin and faith in his system and power always interpreted political or economic problems as something to do with US. That US is surreptiriously steering the events behind the scene. Like he says information war is a true thing that change the outcome of elections drastically. Many in Asia, especially countries like India and Sri Lanka are quite good at using Putins tool box in diverging Socio-economic and political flow.
The only ones engaged in an information war are the Americans and their cheap and stupid "allies".
i got news for you, the cia causes color revolutions. theyre the sole cause of them. they invented them. so yes the cia is usualy behind unrest but the cia doesnt represent america they represent the military industrial complex and the global elite
But not the U.S.😂 That's why Obama signed this??? Smith-Mundt Act prohibited the U.S. Department of State and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) from disseminating government-produced programming within the United States over fears that these agencies would “propagandize” the American people. However, in 2013, Congress abolished the domestic dissemination ban, which has led to a heated debate about the role of the federal government in free public discourse.
Sure, Falun Gong, sure 😏…
I think your own country was dead on correct when it comes to the neo con foreign policy of the USA except for the 4 years under Trump.
Makes me wonder whose controlling our press!

It's funny RUclips autoplayed this right after President Putin Tucker Carlson Interview 🤣
The description of Yeltsin as a bear with periods of withdrawal followed by great energy is a classic description of bipolar disorder. It would explain to a point the excessive drinking beyond the culture of drinking.
That is a very astute observation. Bipolar disorder can be better controlled in 2022 and also better diagnosed once symptons can be established. Certainly in Russia, that disorder was not well known.
Bipolar disorder is just the way for the weak and selfish people to show how its important to be them cause they are able to feel different things and everybody must care. Here in real life we tell them to shut up and feel whatever they want somewhere else.

Hello dear, how are you doing today, I hope everything is good today 😊
Suddenly this video floats to the top. Don't get me wrong, I like it. But it floated.
yeah also know and understand very well
Listening with fervor to this phenomenal narrative, which is equal to Masha Gessen's interview, in its vast scope of Putin. Thanks! Frontline's interviews as learning tools are superb; especially in 2023, as we maintain a pro-Democracy stance here in the USA.
I used to look for Mr Hoffman's article 20 years ago I learned a lot from him he is unbelievably great
This interview just convinced me that whole this time USA is like a Sith empire and Russia is like Rebellion.
What is great about him when from interview you clearly see that US was doing everything to damage Russia, and whenever caught he downplays it like it was misinterpreted by Putin.
US owes Putin for those Hillary mails because she is a criminal.
He is unbelievably delusional and believes no nation should have self-determination except the US and its European servants.
IMO the best and most interesting interview I've seen yet of the bunch, though I have a few left.
Have you listened to Masha Gessen? Incredible.
@@elenalatici9568 I think it's good but not as good as Hoffman who has more in-depth analysis.
Yeah, it's an awfully long list. Quite a propaganda effort has gone on here. I know that NPR is doing its part as well. Sad to see these old truth tellers falling in line.
@@timothygolden5321 Care to share any specifics? No...? What a chock!
@@matsfrommusic Normally I start with the Steele dossier, but since Hoffman here starts with the emails that is really the freshest start of Russiagate: the Podesta and then the DNC email leaks. Both attributed to Russia and both disproven. As he mentions Crowdstrike; a private company yielding a fraud report; whatever HRC wanted them to say was what they said. No FBI investigation. Sorry, but this stuff is so done now, yet I guess some slow pokes are still coming around. The lies that have led us to the brink of nuclear disaster were entirely optional. I do not blame HRC directly; I blame the deep state. They control this media now. Say good-bye to PBS and NPR. These are not the intellectual sources that they once were. Truth means nothing to them. Integrity is no longer a thing in America.
Long form interviews like this are priceless. Amazing job David Hoffman and Frontline.
This interview was so low level to me. Is this what liberals say is informative high level discourse?! I can see why America is falling apart. Yikes
Terrific interview. Great content tky
Time has told that all this was a lie.
Not quite right about "Russian Interference" in the 2016 Clinton defeat.
"Once it seems to be clear that it might be Russia". 🤔. ... Fascinating how bs can sound intelligent
Extraordinarily prescient! The civilized world can hardly plead ignorance about Russian aggression.
Actually, Jena was higher tech center than Dresden, and where the precision equipment for Robatron was designed and manufactured. In fact Jenaoptik (the East German branch of Zeiss, and where the company was founded) eventually became the dominant division of the company for integrate circuit manufacturing, and remains the global leader today supplying the optics for ASML, the leading IC Lithography tool supplier. Hoffman may know a thing or two about Putin, but he is no expert on technology in East Germany. Great story teller, but some of his statements are not factually accurate,.
One small point - The primacy of Jena in optical technology predates WW2.
I've watched more than half of these interviews. So far, no Putin supporters as far as I can tell. Were any approached?
The only "public" praising of Putin that i'm aware of came from Trump.
Its sooo slanted, the whole 2nd half, accepting US/NATO $ feeling "like charity" Nah, Putin was smart on Global elite & NWO. He was a nationalist not multiculturalist ×10. Just sooo many things, slanted by our Gov inserts. Putin & *many Russians would laugh at this propaganda peice
@@carter_1 That KGB gangster, Putin, is still weeping over the fall of his beloved "Soviet Union".
I suppose it is fair to let the criminals tell their versions of the crimes.
But most of that information can't be released until after all the prosecutions are complete.
There’s plenty of pro-Putin media out there if you want to find it. Much of it is state-sponsored propaganda tho.
Water comrade, water is SO, SO, more important than people think, especially in the Africa, middle east, China. Water is all ready being used as a weapon.
He also didn't mention that Putin was named because he promised not to prosecute Yeltsin or his family.
There were people who warned about Putin 20 years ago.
Rep.s hv always hated Russia more than anyone but they're praising him now. It's sick
It's a shame more people were not able to warn us about the Bush crime family since they came to power a century ago...
Excellent interview. I enjoy listening to Mr. Hoffman. He makes history come alive.
Especially from a fanciful, Victoria Nuland, US State Dept. fictional world!
David Hoffman is a great author. I highly recommend his books - 'The Oligarchs', 'The Dead Hand', 'The Billion Dollar Spy', 'Give Me Liberty' - all of them engrossing pieces of non-fiction.
It was that way at IBM also.
We are all screwed. Everyone worldwide. Only the oligarchs of the world will be o.k.
It will take time but , we all are on our way down. We cannot even imagine ,how things will be
in the future. We let it happen.
I know we can overcome what they are doing. It woll take sometime, but we can beat them in their own game by becoming educated in business and commerce. Their are many nuvo rich people that have created their own wealth. We can do the same, one step at a time. We just have to become smarter. It can be done, just educate youself.
