A groundbreaking new film by Andrei Kondrashev. “Putin” dives into depth about the man who we all hear so much about, but who we know so little about. From the early tumultuous days of the presidency – dealing with the terrorist situation, the Kursk tragedy and a demoralized Russia – to Putin now, the leader of a reenergized and recovered Russia. A year in the making with personal stories that have never been told on camera before. Some will be shocking and stunning. Attempts on the president’s life and the toll of the presidency on Vladimir Putin himself – all of it has been brought together in the most complete portrait of Vladimir Putin that has been done to date.

Thankyou.
Johnhelmer.net has a significant contribution regarding Skripal Hoax.
http://johnhelmer.net/the-skripal-case-goes-to-court-for-the-first-time-new-uncertainties-for-the-british-and-russian-governments/#more-18920
The corrupt British court system has cooperated with the new Nuremberg examinees to prevent the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus for the Skripals.
The corrupt British system was exposed back when “One law for the billionaires? Tetra Pak heir and wife caught with crack cocaine and heroin won’t face court”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1039493/One-law-billionaires-Tetra-Pak-heir-wife-caught-crack-cocaine-heroin-wont-face-court.html
It may well be “turtles all the way down” — but these days it’s criminals all the way up!
After the vile decision by the arrogant Tory thug, Arbuthnot, replete with nauseating contempt for the UN Tribunal on Arbitrary Detention, all of whose members have more legal expertise in their little fingers than she in her entire carcass, in refusing Assange’s appeal, you can expect NOTHING from the UK ‘justice’ system but class hatred and bias and total subservience to Imperial diktat. As ever.
OffG says more about the same subject
“Why did UK court say “limited evidence” Skripals have relatives while cousin interviewed in UK media?”
http://off-guardian.org/2018/03/28/skripal-relatives/
The john helmer piece shows how the UK government has just illegally sidestepped the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus. It seems to them a clever idea but the outcome is far from that. A very lucky break for Russia is this silly UK mistake. Finally something solid has appeared…something utterly false…but manifested in court proceedings…now Russia may press ahead to strip the UK of jurisdiction because the UK is still bound yet to the European Courts.
This film brought many tears to my eyes, recalling the Putin family during the war. We Americans did not have any idea that this was happening in Russia. A great salute to the survivors of St. Petersburg and their families! and Memory Eternal to all who died at that time.
I had the great luck and honor to visit St.Petersburg (still Leningrad at that time in 1984) and lay down flowers to the monument of fallen heroes – soldiers and civilians – who died in ww2. Spent 5 days in that beautiful city in hotel Moskva on the bank of the Neva river. I will never forget, who knows if I will have again such opportunity in this life.
My wife’s brother spent extended time in Leningrad in the 70’s when he was working on his phd thesis on Pushkin.
Dear Saker,
Thank you!
I was convinced from the beginning that Vladimir Putin is a great Man and Stateman and could not understand why so many people couldn’t accept it instead of judjing him harsly.
After watching the documentary I came to the realization that a lot of human beings feel insecure and fear what he represents (dignity, integrity, sincerity and compassion).
I would have liked to meet and thank him for all what he does…He is a leader for Russia and also for the world.
I am a bit confused from his personality. Those questions that ought be asked are not. Why does he keep treating the West as partners. I can understand the economic pressures and state readiness for war, but Russia will have to face war not only from the West, but also from Asia. For the resources… We do not have the data he has, so we can only speculate here…
I used to have the same feelings. The use of “partners” is just a rhetorical gesture,not to be taken literally. It is clear from the video that WW2 is still very much in the Russian psyche, and rightly so. And the more recent heroics of Russian servicemen in Syria are also relevant.
The most telling statement from Putin recently was that there was no point in a world without Russia – ie he’s totally prepared mentally and militarily to end it all.
One cannot discount that idiots (eg Bolton) will not get the message.
I don’t see war coming from Asia (China). If Russia were to fall, then the West would go after China next. I don’t see China having the desire to move Westward. China may not be a natural ally of Russia, but they have more mutual interests that with the US.
A lot depends what happens in Syria. If the West are halted, then good. If not then Iran is next which I think will be a bridge too far for the West. But I don’t think it will come to that as the West will crumble under its own contradictions first.
Sorry bud, but China is already in the West. Not with guns though. It’s flooded the west with its people and products. This process started in early 80’s (1980’s) after it cooperated with USofA on dismantling of USSR. You can look at as sort of payment for “services rendered”.
Yeah, i will totally buy your theory of China being in bed with the West. After all, if Russia destroys the west, whom will China sell her products to? so China is surely going to attack Russia along with the west.
The initial comment by lmimkac about war from Asia probably referred to the Asian vassals of west like Japan and South Korea. cdvision misunderstood it and Anonius used the misunderstanding to peddle his own misinformation.
I disagree. When I hear Putin use the term ‘partners’, I understand it as having exact, literal and legal meaning. It means those countries and Russia are bound by bilateral and international treaties and agreements which they have signed together. He likes to keep pointing that out. Of course, he does it in such a way that it comes across as being just a friendly reminder.
I do pray you are correct.
Being ready to negotiate is a Russian tradition, and it’s wise when you’re in a defensive position. Always give the opponent room to maneuver. Hope that the West’s leaders are not unified. Give the less warlike elements in US/UK a reason to stay in the game, a reason to apply countervectors against the warmongers.
If both US and Russia are equally determined to end the world, there’s no reason for ANYONE to bother. In that case we might as well go on a crime spree. Fuck everything in sight, steal, kill, because tomorrow is gone.
Think “judo partner”.
I would strongly disagree that “partners” is either a sloppy translation or a merely rhetorical. Merely consider the semantics of “partners”, from the point of view of both synonyms and antonyms. “Enemy” or “adversary” imply conflict, which implies destruction of one or other party at some future time. Perhaps the AZ Empire deserves it, but exactly who is justified in throwing the first stone? The Putin meme about not judging terrorists but sending them to God for judging surely applies also to the AZs from logical consistency. It would seem there are more than enough keyboard gods who would sit in judgment or press the nuclear button. Given the pathologically destructive nature of the AZ empire, they need to have a good look in the mirror. The semantics of “partners” on the other hand involves notions of cooperation and reciprocity, such notions which can be predicated of the whole human race only in the absence of racism and other injustices. The crucial points here are that two wrongs never make a right, and the existence of pirates is not a reason for anybody to become a thief. Any rhetorical view of “partners” is tantamount to pessimism of a hopeless and destructive nature; a semantic view implies optimism, or at least the hope of making things better and faith in human abilities to do so.
The same reasoning can be applied to contrast two things which have never been juxtaposed to my knowledge. First, the claims against “whitey” for compensation for historical misdeeds; and second, Putin’s acknowledgment (and I think acceptance) of a concept of community rights that does not depend on contingent facts of history.
Correct. Calling the west “partners” indicates non-inflammatory reference to the west. Nothing more. Russians and the “west” knows that it’s just a wordage, which does not mean anything.
@TorQ-D. I agree that partners means partners; Putin is a builder and a constructive thinker as well as being a notable warrior. Like Peter the Great? Or further back, Alexander the Great; or even further Darius the Great? In the Age of Connectivity Putin’s multipolar world is the Logical successor to the multiethnic empire of Darius which was the model concept for all succesful empires up till the present. The speedy disintegration of the shambolic US empire may be a sign that the age of empires might be coming to an end; and Putin is supplying a new concept.
Also I detect a streak of “ubuntu” (humanity) and quiet humour which is truly remarkable in a man under such enormous pressure. Like FD Roosevelt? Looking forward to see if this strongly human side is documented in the video.
Possibly Putin’s use of “partners” can be viewed in the light of his relationship to Kadyrov.
Quite apart from the “legal” sense of partners as entities with which Russia has signed legally binding agreements, etc., which also makes sense, perhaps Putin hopes that someday, somehow, the USA, or factions in the USA, will realize (as did JFK) that working with Russia is really the best game available in the planetary town, and will approach him and Russia in a different spirit.
Katherine
I love the part where he says ‘selflessness’ is what love is – something to that effect – I agree – and I see that Putin has this quality –
-the part about the Kursk – ‘an explosion’ – was it from an enemy sub ? I have heard that –
here’s a youtube made by Syrian Girl – The Victory of Aleppo – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufqCCPA1jAs&t=201s
–this video – now at 1:33 – shows what can be done in a country – if there is no theft of its assets – for instance – oil –
Thank God he’s into ecology – I believe him – he loves animals.
I can hardly wait for part 2 – thanks Saker
Regard the Kursk, on photos of it after it was lifted out of the sea, a small round hole can clearly be seen. There were anglo submarines in the area just before it sank. Putin has been under attack right from the start.
“Putin has been under attack right from the start” – I agree..
I can not forget the date of Kursk tragedy. It happened on August 12, 2000.
Are you saying that the date has a meaning? Events that stand out for August 12:
1914 August 12 – World War I: The United Kingdom declared war on Austria-Hungary; the countries of the British Empire followed suit.
1930 August 12– George Soros was born
2000 August 12 – International Youth Day (IYD) was first celebrated on August 12, 2000, after the UN General Assembly passed a resolution accepting the recommendation made by the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth in Lisbon in 1998.
August 12 is the name day (Clara) of one of my nieces. It is all.
The name Clara reminds me of the song Oh, Donna Clara
Here is the song – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrazWuIyty8
And here are the lyrics

PS: What is correct? Lyrics are or is?

This is what happened with the Kursk. It was preparing to test a new type of Russian torpedo (rocket propelled, I think). The US Navy sent two submarines to the Baltic to observe the testing. However, their captains had no experience with the currents of the Baltic. One captain lost control, colliding with the Kursk. The US sub fell to the bottom, damaged. The Kursk opened its torpedo door, thinking it was under attack. The captain of the other US sub observed this, firing a torpedo, which struck the Kursk. It too fell to the bottom. The Kursk reported what happened, and the Russian Navy responded, going after the two US subs. The situation was critical, almost leading to war. The White House called Putin, asking him to call off the Russian Navy, and cancelling all the Russian debt to the US. Putin agreed. The damaged US sub limped to Norway for repairs, while the other one escaped. Had the White House not intervened, there is no doubt both US subs would have been destroyed. The sailors on the Kursk, alas, perished. That hole you see on the Kursk is from the US torpedo.
I do not believe a single word of your story.
I do have an uncle that work for Smit, the company that raised the Kursk from the bottom of the sea. He is responsible for the entire south Atlantic and stays 24/7 with an satellite phone that looks from the 80s.
He told me something curious about the Russians…
Some Russian officer guaranteed Putin that it was impossible to recover the sub.
After the sub was recovered Putin summoned the foreign engeneers resposable for the work and thank them.
And in the front of them fired the Russian Oficer…
If it was an US Torpedo, why will they bring it to the surface….to cover up the story?
I should be easier to keep it at the sea.
Zico the musketeer
The sub was raised because the families of the dead seamen demanded it, and as promised by Putin. After it was raised, photographs appeared. You can clearly see a round hole in the hull of the sub, a point observed by many. After that incident, a US sub appeared in Norway, with a badly damaged hull. Families of US seamen came to Norway, to visit the injured sailors. Photos of that US sub also appeared, the damage to the hull clearly visible. I invented nothing.
BF, I agree with you as this is how I remember those events. I remember the admiral in charge of the fleet, the Kursk belong to, blamed USofA, but that was quickly hushed up for obvious reasons. It was obvious, that this was a welcoming gift to Putin. Accordingly to the “news” in those days Kursk was swarmed by nato subs and surface ships. Russia was so weak it had to lease some rescue barges from Holland and some deep diving robots from the Brits (if I not mistaken). Russia witnessed numerous “accidents” in those days of the kind like burning apartment building in Moscow and other (TV tower?). The west was desperately trying to overwhelm Putin in order to force him to “Master’s” heel.
What do you think about the theorie that the Kursk incident was all about the nuclear missiles on board? Which were stolen and one one of them was used to hit the pentagon on 9.11. ?
Thats just the short story.
Greetings
Putin himself explains what happend: They tested a new weapon (torpedo) a malfuction created an explosion in this compartment which then was totally crushed by the weight of the surrounding huge water pressure. I don’t think he lies, because IF scum would have been involved, we would know by now, there being no reason to lie about it, because their official story shows themselves in a bad light. They analyzed the situation with their usual thoroughness and fixed it, now they are topnotch. If same would happen to a US- or Brit. U-Boat it would be used as an expedient to cover their own ass to point the finger towards Russia, the bogeyman of the West. The Western System relying on corruption has a long time ago lost any sense or means of thorough self reflection. Even philosophically they have bereft themselves of the means to even analyze it properly, there is no faculty in the whole western world which would be able to do so – none !

There are several ways to a judge a man (person).
By his actions, by his words, by his constancy, by his reactions, by the testimony of his peers.
In this documentary, Putin’s peers since high school, from his early days in KGB, from his days in FSB, from his first years as President–Ivanov, Sechin, Patruschev, Shoigu, Bortnikov all are erudite admirers. The power of these men is enormous, any one of them could be a challenger. Instead, they are his stalwart Praetorians.
I judge Putin through their eyes. Some of them were there when he was chosen to lead. They have watched the entire time, two decades, and more now than then, they are astounded at his qualities and impact he has had. They see and work with him every day. They know every nuance of his mind and personality. And they all are astounded at his qualities.
The young generation that has grown up under him is another crucial guide. They have seen and heard (from parents and grandparents) how bad things were and how much things have changed. They are all in for Putin. This is crucial to the future of Russia.
Finally, we judge him from his decisions, his surprises, his strategies and tactics, his speeches, and his accomplishments.
He is clearly the best world leader by far.
He is clearly the wisest world leader by far.
He is clearly the hope for humanity. He has place Russia on the Grand Chessboard again, and everything has changed for the better. We face a great evil, but we have a great man as our knight in the fight.
Larchmonter445
What you wrote below summarize my deep feelings
“He is clearly the hope for humanity. He has place Russia on the Grand Chessboard again, and everything has changed for the better. We face a great evil, but we have a great man as our knight in the fight”.
Now, if more human beings realize that we are one Race and unite, our understand of this reality shall lead us as one family to let go our fears/ anger and division that distort our thoughts and actions.
More we’ll be able to overcome our demons, more we’ll be align with Putin and all those who work for a better world.
However, we can “fight evil” with different tools. So, we must get out from our own boxes to be able to change our perspective …not resist but open up (embrass).
To help Vladimir Putin to have more strenght and lead us to a better world,we need to change our mind-set that kept us divided as a human race in order to break from the past to the new where he is trying to lead the people of Russia and the world.
He is showing us how to stand in front the adversity: do not fear / react emotionnally and fight instead be aware, trust your inner-self and have compassion. It is the only way to get out from the old patterns that continue to lead us to divisions and wars.
What do you think?
I completely agree with you. 100%.
I am struck by your word ’embrass’ – from my schoolgirl French, I ‘see’ in ’embrass’ the image of a global embrace- the opening of our arms to hug not only Mr Putin and the people of Russia, but all of Mother Earth.
I also ‘see’ in your comment the eternal theme of the crucified Christ.
As we approach Easter, may we all be encouraged by the Lord’s words: Do not be afraid…I am with you.
Peace
Babushka,
Thank you for your kind comment!
You made me smile by refering to your “schoolgirl French”…because my firt language is French.
As “I ‘see’ in ’embrass’ the image of a global embrace- the opening of our arms to hug not only Mr Putin and the people of Russia, but all of Mother Earth.”
It is the point that we need to comprehend fully.It is not easy to grasp but we can get one step at a time.
I have come to observe Pres. Putin more closely especially since his 2007 Munich Security conference speech. My conclusions regarding him match yours closely Larchmonter.
From my small Island on the eastern edge of the Atlantic, with long term familial links to the US, I thank God for Vladimir Putin as a font of wisdom, sanity, humanity and patriotism in its best sense.
As a citizen of a country occupied by the British for centuries, I know a malevolent empire when I see one. And the US has taken to following the path of pernicious Albion. I used to think their leaders were insane, but Iater came to see them as simply evil; It’s the only plausible explantation. God speed mother Russia.
Yes. I agree with you. The actions if these people dont need to make sense because they answer to a darker power. The only way to get through this is to keep our own spiritual moorings.
Another Irishman, Yeats, as a freemason, seems to have had some inside information
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43290/the-second-coming
“There are several ways to a judge a man (person).”
Larchmonter445, odd how we decipher meaning – to some I offer a trivial point, to others, two different and differing universes; that of ego and that of Self.
A “man” is known by his material, and some “men” have ‘great material’ (think Shakespeare & The Holy Books), yet, when they make their own conclusions, they are amiss, these : ‘faulty’ : conclusions, arise from : ‘The Personality of The Person” : and : ‘not’ : the ‘material of the man’.
“What’s my point?” Larchmonter445, judgement, if so made, is made upon The Personality of The Person, and not the ‘material of the man’; so, while I vaguely simpatico understand that you were attempting to be ‘genderless’ voicing man to person, nonetheless – psychologically, ‘a man represents their material’ and a ‘person is a placeholder for a personality’, which means, “there are several ways to judge a personality”, the ‘man’ cannot be judged.
Dear Stuart,
So, oft it chances in particular men,
That for some vicious mole of nature in them,
As, in their birth–wherein they are not guilty,
Since nature cannot choose his origin–
By the o’ergrowth of some complexion,
Oft breaking down the pales and forts of reason,
Or by some habit that too much o’er-leavens
The form of plausive manners, that these men,
Carrying, I say, the stamp of one defect,
Being nature’s livery, or fortune’s star,–
Their virtues else–be they as pure as grace,
As infinite as man may undergo–
Shall in the general censure take corruption
From that particular fault: the dram of eale
Doth all the noble substance of a doubt
To his own scandal.
Hamlet, Act 1 scene 4
I would suggest that Shakespeare disagreed with you Stuart.
As for Putin, I haven’t seen that ‘vicious mole of nature in him’ as yet. Have you?
Thanks. More translation may help donations. Hate to ask you all to enter the service market but getting Russian translated material is important.
There’s a miniseries of Demons sitting online that does not have subs, for example. And why not teach more Russian expressions, while you’re at it. Too much english ’round here. Seeing english signs in Moscow, even in Bangladesh. Sometimes it seems like it’s the only language left. Makes one sick to his stomach.
I’m starting to feel lucky that I was motivated to learn Russian language. I hope I get more chances to practice it as the power balance shifts. I haven’t been able to visit in years, the main reason being it’s hard for an American in Japan to get approved for a visa. Japan is still technically at war with Russia over the Kuriles, and it is well rumored to be under the thumb of the CIA. There seem to be certain approved modes of travel for Japanese tourists involving large groups that stick together on an approved itinerary. I don’t fit that.
An entertaining, interesting, and conversational film such as this one is a great opportunity for beginners and the Russian-rusty to immerse themselves in the exchanges, most of them short enough to allow time to recognize at least some of the Russian words and expresssions, the endings used, and to imprint a few important vocabulary words. I love hearing the patronymics. They convey a lot about the Russian Weltanschauung.
Katherine
Putin has been forged by the fire of adversity. He towers over all current leaders, no wonder they hate him.
The film is top-class — kudos to Andrei Kondrashev along with the translator(s).
What I enjoyed in particular was hearing the appraisals from people such as Ramzan Kadyrov and from within Syria — unfortunately there was no interview/excerpt with President Assad.
Indeed, Putin’s working capacity appears almost superhuman until one realizes his profound commitment to the well-being of his country and its people. This alone gives him the strength to put up with such a prodigious workload. Comparing Putin to the West’s arrogant criminals and clowns passing for statesmen is extremely revealing.
It changes nothing of what I thought about Putin.
It was overwhelming and stunning to see, but not surprising. More proof Putin was ordained by History to lead Russia. The intercession of Destiny in behalf of the Russian People.
An explanation of Putin’s use of the word ‘partners’ to mean that every nation and everyone are partners in the Fate of
the Earth.
Long Live V.V. Putin == Russia’s own Georgi Vashingtonski
Wrong: Putin was put into power by God, that’s why; this is what Jesus can do for everyone, with His power (but certainly not all having the same function. See 1 Corinthians 12:17 on).
And insofar as Putin using the word ‘partner’, it could – among other things – be signifying mutual respect i.e. he respects the West (as it should be) and in turn the West should respect him/Russia, which is quite right. Also, partnership means working together in friendship, co-operation etc not arrogance etc.
I see Mr Putin as ‘doing good to his enemy’ – loving his neighbours as himself.
That his ‘neighbour’ is self-loathing and therefore abusive/disrespectful is not on Mr Putin’s shoulders. That is for God to sort out.
In the meantime, the ‘neighbours’ must sort out their issues between themselves.
Tragic reality is of course that the evil/corrupt ‘within’ too often destroys the good and the true and the beautiful.
Be and do the good and the true and the beautiful anyway.
Russia and Mr Putin are leading the way.
Peace
Or as Hamlet put it.
Their virtues else (be they as pure as grace,
As infinite as man may undergo)
Shall in the general censure take corruption
From that particular fault. The dram of evil
Doth all the noble substance of a doubt
To his own scandal.

How To Solve The JCPOA ( Iranian Nuclear Deal ) Disputes With Trump And Israel

Peace,

When Putin said he can forgive, but not betrayal, I was hoping the interviewer would ask him:
What can you forgive?
What have you forgiven?
Maybe in part 2. That would have been a great question.
This video explains why Putin won the elections. Nobody can forget the Yeltsin years, when Russia was plundered by foreign corporations and banks, including domestic oligarchs. Everybody in Russia is reminded of those years by events in Ukraine, where an identical situation was created. And what is hilarious is that Western NGO’s were hoping to place a pro-Western puppet at the head of Russia. They of course failed. The West better get used to Russia, and no false flag attacks, like the one in England, can change the rise of Russia.
The footage of the bloated Yeltsin and his slurred speech as he gave his “I am leaving” speech—the image of him in the footage—-is quite shocking.
I wonder where he summoned the concentration and good sense to name Putin as his successor.
They – meaning the NWO types – have vowed to destroy:
Nations
Religion
Family and
Gender
Putin and Russia stands for all 4.
This is why Putin and Russia are been subjected to threats and sanctions.
The US is the country that serves as the battering ram of the NWO.
It is also the country in which the power and influence of the NWO is at its highest.
The UK
France
Germany
Canada etc
are also heavily compromised…
Today in the US, all public officials, whether county, state or federal, must pledge allegiance to the lobbies and front men for the NWO, in order to attain or keep their positions.
All journalists working for the MSM must master the art of self-censoring, if they wish to have a job.
Many now mouth lies and mis-information just to get a paycheck…
All those who stand in the way of the NWO will be villified and have their existence threatened.
Iran
China
Venezuela
are also on their list…
Russia is the tip of the spear…
One micro-scene which caught my attention was the way Shoigui affirmed that today they have to fear nobody (militarily as first context) – he opens up and calmly puts his cup sideways on the table while saying it. THAT move tells whole books about their capabilities…..!!!!
A fantastic documentary.
An outstanding documentary.
Blagodarju Vas, Sejker
Благодарју Вас, Сејкер
Just to mention that Mr. Vladimir Vladimirovic leaves deep impression to me. And definitely I am not alone! Those awake like him, those in deep sleep, sleepwalkers hate him as they are indoctrinated, manipulated thinking that the system of last 30 years could continue indefinitely, not comprehending that we are at cul-de-sac. Hope that this film will awake more and take us to the safer path always together with partners,peace loving humans.
I think Putin should “Not” be giving such kinda documentaries! It is too much and may take away focus from important issues in such testing times when the fate of the world hangs in balance!
No. I did not learn anything new about VVP, but others did. He must be defended. Those who think like Westerners, with Russian heritage or not, need to think like me, who live in a neighbouring country. We are closely related and that can also be seen in my education. VVP and I understand each other, though he is probably not aware of my existence.
This is really great. So interesting.
My favorite figure is the former teacher.
Wonderful face and attitude and comments.
Thanks very much for posting.
Many thanks to the translators and subtitlers, whoever they are.
When will Part 2 be aired?
Katherine
I really hope this isn’t true…….? but with the way world is going I wouldn’t in the least be surprised?……..
Interestingly, with the knowledge that freemasonry helped establish the communist revolution in Russia, Bogdanov appears to corroborate another Golitsyn theory: that the crypto-Soviet state would make superficial concessions to the Russian Orthodox Church in order to further the perception of Russia’s democratization. Bogdanov told The Moscow Times of a church they passed by that was built by a freemason.
Logo for the #1 Harmony Grand Lodge of Moscow. Notice the rotated Jewish hexagram.
“Do you remember a church we passed on the way here, built by the architect Vasily Bazhenov? He was also a Freemason,” he said. “There are Masonic symbols inside, and legend has it that not a single piece of glass was broken there when the church was captured by the French troops and then retaken by the Russians.” (6)
Visit enough Orthodox churches and you will inevitably encounter some of these masonic symbols blasphemously implanted on the iconostasis, in other paintings, and such. Freemasonry played a leading role in the Russian Revolution, as it did in the French Revolution—working side by side with revolutionary Jews.
The masons have always liked the idea of allowing a passive Christianity to exist, so long as they are allowed to infiltrate and run it—the masons’ own false opposition system. And that’s exactly what they did following the revolutions, first with the Catholic Church and now with the Russian Orthodox Church. Both institutions are now completely in the hands of the enemy.

and then there’s the city of Astana, Kazakhstan? Again who builds an entire city devoted to Masonic teachings and a god whose name is a mix of the profane and holy? jahbulon? A city that must have had help from Russia to build?

Just stopped the video at 37-38min where Putin says he can forgive most people except the treacherous. Curiously, Dante shared his opinion: the Last Circle of Dante’s Inferno is reserved for the souls of those ultimate sinners (such as UK prime minister Tony B.Liar) who kiss the living Christ in order to betray Him. Those who betray the country they have sworn to protect, as well as the Christ they have sworn to serve; such souls are damned instantly in the act of betrayal: beyond Hope of Redemption “even though the body continues to walk and talk and put on clothes”. — Dante, Inferno 34.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

I have now watched this video, after many interruptions because it is long… But, I could not take my eyes and ears off it when I had time – well done! Mr Putin is definetely a world-class leader. His life story is fascinating; he must write his memoires for future generations.
