#interview #russia #stephenkotkin
One of the many pleasures in listening to Stephen Kotkin - apart from his authoritative knowledge base and scholarship - is his clarity. He is a brilliant communicator. Thank you Ekaterina for this excellent interview and for asking exactly the right questions.
Kotkin, one of the most-knowledgeable Western experts on modern Russian history and society.
I cosign on that. 🖋️
Factomundo
No doubt, one of the very best experts in the field.
Key word is the "expert".
Yet, he’s completely wrong about the current situation.
Dr. Kotkin.....the TRUE EXPERT.......
Kotkin's biography on Stalin is legendary. Always good to hear from one of the foremost experts on Russia today.
Is it because it's the one everyone likes, or because it's the truth?
@@rationalbasis2172 Can it be both?
He seems like a typical globalist war-monger to me.
Typical western historian- tons knowledge and no clue what makes Russians tick simultaneously.
He made Stalin into tremendous statesman in his writings all the while describing life of ordinary criminal. It must be a special talent!
@@ilyagulag Have you written a book about Stalin? How is your understanding of "the West"? Mr Kotkin is honest and modest which I guess you are not. PS What's your favourite ( history ) book ( not the bible ) ?
More interviews with Kotkin and Rogoff would really hit the spot.
Invaluable insights.
Thank you very much for this interview, Kotkin is one of the great contemporary intellectuals. His insights were poignant, as always. I am rather worried for Russia - I wish all the Russians opposing the war and Putin's regime courage and good luck!!! Greetings from Germany
I would say more penetrating and prescient than poignant, but fair enough.
Gut gesagt
Russians have tons of courage! Always had.
Remember may 1945? From Russia with love!!
Excellent interview. Thanks!
Kotkin is such an excellent analyst.
I'm so glad that Mr. Kotkin has given this interview. Very knowledgeable and objective thinker and moreso a great analyst of history of Russian history. Keeping it objective as much as possible.
There is nothing objective about this man.
@@dimitrioskantakouzinos8590says A random comment guy on RUclips without brining any arguments to the table
@@manysimilarshapes He's an anti-Russian neocon. I've read some of his books, and they're good. But he's anti-Russi and anti-Putin.
Again, thank you for making this interview. It's always a pleasure to hear opinions from Dr.Kotkin about situation in Russia.
"He promotes people who are not clever" (end of quote) he hit it on the nail with this one!
That's true of almost all regimes.
Absolutely, all of his minions are just "useful idiots", when will they begin to realize that they have at best a 50% chance of survival with the other 50% divided between a prison sentence or death ?
@@kreek22 Including Trump's 4 year failed regime.
@@ldhorricks The problem is America is that the ruling class is treasonous, not that it is stupid. An American President must look outside that class if he hopes to make America great again. Trump failed to do this.
Brandon and Levine anyone?!😂
I see new kotkin video. I click.
Kotkin has become my beacon of truth knowledge impartiality and erudition
Thanks for the interview
He's much better than the average public intellectual, which is admittedly a kind of backhanded compliment.
This is the first interview I've seen with Stephen Kotkin since the "mutiny"... I wonder why?
I've been searching RUclips every day for new interviews.
Haven't listened to it yet but he's done another one post your comment. It's on the NYT podcast channel, the Ezra Klein show. It's an hour long, sure it's a good one!
Kotkin is the best. Thanks.
Here is a guest speaker to actually listen to. Finally!
Dr Kotkin is a national treasure.
Vivez TV Rain... Vous faites honneur au journalism contemporain.
Great job of Resilience🤜🤛 Greetings from Africa.
Africans supporting Western imperialists who destroy their continent is really something.
The apathy though, that is the thing. Russian's do not seem to really care about anything related to politics and that is by design
I'd say more hiding from politics, but it certainly amounts to the same thing and is certainly by design - at the end of a police baton.
Only 11 minutes and 41 seconds. That's not enough. More Stephen Kotkin is needed.
Great program!!
Yes, the people heard the truth, if only briefly. Perhaps they’ll realize the emperor has no clothes and his minions are a bunch of dolts.
As always, Дуже Дякою, Stephen and best of luck to TV RainNewsroom. You are both needed and appreciated.
-from Ukrainian Diaspora in Canada
People do not matter. Only the elite matters. If a faction of the elite self-assembles for a coup, then Putin is at risk. If the people decide they don't like Putin, but no elite faction dares oppose him, then Putin is not at risk.
Great 👍 S.Kotkin
What a great reminder: "What everyone discovered was what others think of the regime." This is an important key to breaking the spell in many Dictatorships.
One of the few times you *know* that the guest on a zoom call has read *all the books on the bookshelf behind him.* 😂
When I see Kotkin’s name or face, I click the button.
Mr Kotkin,your Glasses and your concerning of the positioning to the screen are so touching, you are a man who have self demanding in all aspect. Thanks, it's appreciated, a lot!
Kotkin is a boss. I don’t know how many of you follow him, but I’ve read both his volumes on Stalin (eagerly awaiting the third) and in my opinion, he’s one of the most underrated contemporary geopolitical thinkers.
Well done Stephen and he made me realise the Putin's behaviour on a lot smaller scale is reflected in the workplace where an manager plays the same games. Human nature
I'm addicted to professor kotkin
Kotkin is so intelligent.
TV Rain and Stephen Kotkin , a great duo !
Kotlin! Sporting totally bussin glassware! 👍 😎
3:03 There were people on the streets - hugging the Wagner fighters, bringing them water and snacks.
Now it's become clear who's loved ... and who's loathed.
I like this guy
🗽🇺🇸 Great reporting!!
X-ray specs giving us an X-ray into Russia. Great to see this interview, Mr Kotkin!
I love the picture of Kafka in his background, very fitting.
Loving the glasses on this legend. His lectures are amazing
Kotkin is a great intellect and scholar. i would love to see him and Prof. Mearshiemer (also a great scholar) in a lengthy debate.
Great clarity
Excellent!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was (am) surprised that no one else seemed to notice the crowds on the sidewalks cheering the Wagnerites,
Excellent perspective
Kotkin is always right !!
Kotkin is king!!!!
Love the glasses
Seriously.
They should have called the march on Moscow “Wagner Lives Matter”.
I enjoyed this interview of Kotkin very much.
Love the wall-of-books background, and Kotkin''s spectacles as well.
Kotkin is great
never seen this guy before but he is quite interesting. Seems like an informed and smart guy. had a very quick look as his credentials and i think i should check out a bit more
Bless Ukraine and the exact opposite to the Russian Federation and Putin.
Stephen, love the glasses... ❤
great to hear from you again. 👍
Oh no way, those are emasculating to the max
@rowdyzack5914 for a brief moment i thought it was Elton John 😅🤣🤣 but i do love the guy...
@@OziBlokeTimG me too
Great analysis. Thank you.
Great 👍
Mr Kotkin says it as it is.
Brilliant man.
Thank you for this great interview.
Prigozhin as well as his friends in the Russian Military have been disillusioned about the pace of the war in Ukraine. They thought it would be a blitzkrieg. Instead, it's a long bloody war.
Russian Military blogger and ex FSB officer Igor Girkin is pro war, but has fiercely criticized the Russian military for their incompetence and "insufficiency".
8 days ago Girkin again, gave more scathing criticism of Putin's leadership. "Putin is not going to win this war" he warned.😮
The Kremlin is like a Mafia organization. They sense weakness and the Capo's start vying for a bigger piece of the pie. 🙄
Is it weakness or is it magnanimity? MacArthur defied Truman in Korea. He was relieved, not tried for treason. Why? Magnanimity. Truman could afford to forgive MacArthur because MacArthur was not a real threat to Truman's power. Also, MacArthur, like Prigozhin, was a national hero--he had earned some goodwill.
Вы неимоверно тупы !
Ah yes, "Susan Smith", expert on Russian affairs because she turned on CNN. Maybe criticize your own war criminal leader.
Hello,ykaterina. You conduct a great interview and you have a great smile.
Love those glasses.
Kotkin is a national treasure.
Stephen Kotkin almost always gives a fascinating interview
What a resounding refutation of authoritarianism. Anyone calling for a 'strong leader' should heed this man's words. Authoritarian regimes are always inefficient.
The best scholar of Rusia history and politics.
Kotkin is looking sharp in those sweet glasses. Very nice, Stephen! And of course, brilliant as usual.
Great channel!
Brilliant analysis, as usual.
TV Rain. The voice of sanity from Russia. Thank you.
Nice glasses !!
Way cool glasses!
I didnt know Joe Pesci's academic street education went this far into political science!
I thought there was something familiar about him but couldn't say what.
I like this guy’s views
Great insight
Prof Kotkin is always enlightening, but he might want to do a re-think on the new glasses.
Kotkin has always been my favorite historian and Russian expert. But, what's with his glasses? I'm sure they look good on Quicksilver, but Kotkin?
This is the man who knows. Pay attention.
A realistic and experienced Russian reporter in exile interviewing a foremost thinker on the structure and workings of the Russian authoritarian system. The broad perspective, instead of the musings of retired Western military sources speaking beyond their actual depth of historical or political knowledge.
Мне очень понравился его первый том о Сталине. Очень советаю. Второй ещё не читал. Стивен шарит.
His comment about shedding Russian blood in Ukraine is different from shedding blood within the Motherland Russia. In fact, Russian blood were shed, with the downing of the Military helicopters and aircraft by the Wagner Group mutineers. No ?
Russian blood is not valued by Russians.....
A bravura analysis, the best.
Everything sounds very reasonable
Those glasses are a coded message
Faultless bar the new glasses
It's very interesting to hear details from Kotkin about Russian regime.
Is that Kafka in the photo close to his right shoulder?
Yes, i see it too.
BTW. Why is Kotkin wearing his wife's glasses?
Great glasses
I sure hope he writes a book on Putin.
Prigozhin might not be the best "option" for Russians, but anyone is better for Ukraine.
The most important thing is to bring the war home to Russians.
What I noticed was the cheering crowds in Rostov who were waving Wagner flags and celebrating Prighozhin.
Dr. Kotkin is on Putin's special 'list'. FBI needs to assign security detail to him.
Kotkin is slick
Never underestimate the willingness of desperate despots and cult leaders a to do the unthinkable to avoid being held accountable.
Kotkin! straight out of GoodFellas!
Mr. Kotkin are spot on! It was a pleasure listening to him on this matter. Like to hear more from him. Thank you.
Those glassed make him look cute 😅
❤
But all Wagner warfare is illegal, be it MALI ... (ect.) and a lie. Why did he ADMIT the mistake this time. Because the task has become to difficult and he lacks "help".
No one big alone in this world.
Stephen…love your lectures. Ya gotta get new glasses though.
I can't get over the fact that to me they seriously look like a special effect added afterwards.
