Aren't you surprised that off-springs of brutal Soviet leader Khruchev are so anti-Russian? If Khruchev was not removed from power what kind of people his children and grandchildren would become, what would they be saying about the system their clan had created?
Nina's Great-Grandfather Nikita Khrushchev vowed to "bury" America. As Russia and China are trying to do the same these days, I have a question: Why did the West get rid of the Iron Curtain, the ONLY time proven winning policy against totalitarianism?
Of course, she did! She is Russian, for God's sake! People like her should preferably be those we are getting the info about this situation from. She is Russian, which means she speaks Russian and understands the country mentally, culturally, and politically. We should rather forget American "pundits" who cannot say a word of Russian and have never even been there once but somehow miraculously obtained the reputation of the specialists on the topic.
Mr Khrushchev says we will bury you, I don't subscribe to this point of view, It seems such an ignorant thing to do, If the Russians love their children too. -Sting

@Brandein Pickles not really, they only interrupt crazy right wing extremists for interrupting them or being rude. CNN is quite controversial, but nowhere near as bad as more conservative and fascist media..
My sister-in-law is Russian. I have family and friends in both Russia and Ukraine. This woman is absolutely right. The level of despair/denial in Russia right now is unreal. Most people are either terrified or literally cannot accept what's happening. As in they believe everything is fake news and that no one is actually dying and it's all just a drill. The Russian people are sad and confused and most of them don't support Putin one bit. They just want peace. Scarily, I've also lost contact with one of my friends in Ukraine. She hasn't responded to any of her social media in two months and no one can get ahold of her family. Update: My friend and her family are alive! They have left Ukraine and are currently making their way to Germany.
This world needs peace, we become an interstellar species then a war with nukes can be waged, for now, we must accept that Russia wants Crimea, Ukraine should accept that, they cannot fight against the whole of Russia, they can get others involved. As for NATO they should distant themselves away from Russian borders until they are happy to join, for now, we must witness these crimes committed, the death playing out and those suffering must find closure. Earth and humanity is not worth a world war 3 over in Ukraine, it's not the time, we need to help each other our in this life, even the elites know a bunker is just a quick rich scheme for those who make them, ever a nuke gets used, let me know where ground zero is
Definitely that is the clinically worried about their/our mental health and intellectual irregularities when “war is peace, ignorance is strength” and the entire Republican Party is supporting Orwell in Russia.
A guy named Vlad Vexler, who has a TH-cam channe and lived in the soviet unionl said the exact same thing. 20-25% are the hardliners that support Putin and what is going on and watch the news constantly. 25-30% are against but are suppressed and subdued. 50% are politically disengaged and couldn't care less about whatever it is Putin is doing. That 50% is actually what gives Putin power. If they ever get up off the couch he is fucked.
Especially when you consider most of the polls asking “do you support Putin” are run by the Kremlin itself. Of course most people aren’t willing to say no.
A couple weeks ago, there were a pair of Russian people who showed up on the shores of Alaska here. Their reason was to avoid the draft. When you cross the Bearing Straight to avoid your government, that also says something.
These are the true facts people. I only listen to people that have witnessed the situation first hand. No Media agenda. Thanks so much for this interview. Thanks so much to this professor. It takes real bravery to speak out about what it's really like in Russia right now.
Let me break it down for you: You think she was good here? This is nothing. She's a mesmerising lecturer. She has this magical gift of presenting truckloads of detailed, complex information in a way that makes sense, is easy to understand, & stays in your memory. CNN should give her a regular slot.
@@funtime-gc3lo Yes, everything is going according to Putin's plan! You better start working on getting into shape because once Putin is done conscripting Syrians and other mercenaries from the middle east and North Korea he will probably turn to moving you trolls to the front lines as more cannon fodder for his dream of a reconstituted USSR!
@@funtime-gc3lo You mean Mad Vlad. He's not Russia. I suppose you also think water is dry and up is really down? You're either trolling, or dumber than a sack of turds.
She's definitely right about despair... I also can feel it in the air here in Moscow. Despair mixed with disgust to those that support Putin and yell "kill more Ukrainians"
Are people truly aware of how much destruction and hell he is inflicting on Ukraine? I can't believe this is happening in my lifetime. Your country is so sick.
Ever since I came here in 1979 and I noticed that every time there was a democratic president in the Whitehouse. There was always wars or chaos every where around the world
More of her please. So smart, informative. Less of media needing to apply a simple label to people? “Is Putin rational?” Seems just a question to create a headline, not one to elicit useful info. She batted that away quick. And the interviewers take “ok, some of both.” Not sure he got her response on irrelevance of question.
It wasn't irrelevant though and she didn't "bat" it away. The interviewer didn't understand her answer, and neither do you. The crux of her argument is that it is a matter of worldviews and philosophical paradigms. Putin's apparent irrationality to us is due to viewing through the bias of our own worldviews. This is important because it is the fundamental failure of Putin, as well. His miscalculations are due to operating by a set of logic principles that are not applicable to a large amount of the rest of the world.
Seems like a post just to criticize the media with the the thinnest of evicdence. Notice you don’t really speak on the actual substance of her comments, very telling.
@@andymoore9977 This statement doesn't really mean anything. Every group, be your social group or the bureaucracy of a nation, has its own internal structure and operating procedures. How that bureaucracy then interacts at various scales with those other groups that have different procedures and structure is what we call geopolitics. The entire point is that the protocols by which Putin, and really, Russian governance for a century now, operate is not suitable for its interactions with the rest of the world. The thing is, we have a whole lot in our own nations' structure we can argue the same.
@@cjohnson3836 So, I am not anti-media. I just think sometimes the media wants to simplify issues by applying categories/labels (just as other or many people do by calling someone a "lib" or whatever) -- Interviewer sets up first question as "Biden says Putin rational. Macron says he is irrational. Why is this an important question?" Her first response "It's not that important" (batting away this question of labeling Putin) and then she goes on to give a more substantive response based on Putin's background and so on. The overall interview was good and had substance. The start of it imo not great. To each their own.
First sentence she shows she really knows how to break it down better than anyone else I've heard yet. Why isn't she getting more coverage she's the best yet.
She is exposing the Leftist/Marxist Madness that exists in many countries. The reason she's pushed into the shadows is she makes Leftists Look Really BAD!
@@piotr7427 I think you are oversimplifying this. He certainly cannot win but neither can he lose. Like him or not, he is an experienced politician and a former spy, he knows he can't win but also knows he doesn't have to be cornered. I think it's very illusory to believe he is going to back down because of some sanctions.
Amazing how used to mindless American babbling we are used to to fill 24 hr news cycles. Then you hear something like this and suddenly realize that there are people with real world knowledge that should be the main focus and not these talking heads. Props to her and the interviewer here
A truly wonderful professor, so interesting. I have listened to Russians speak of their disapproval of Putin, and his government while in democratic countries outside of Russia, and they appreciate the simple act of free speech, which so many take for granted in the West.
G20 is the only way! This KGB stuff has got to go. Putin has to comprehend that historically Ukraine is not going to bow down to a man that wants to control a country that wants to be a democracy. Russian people know that a Russian Republic will work for them ( ) ()
Great interview with Nina Khrushcheva. There's sadly so many interviews and viewpoints from people who aren't that knowledgeable about the subject matter, on Ukraine or so many other things, that its so refreshing to hear a great interview with a person with a so much more profound understanding and expert knowledge, and who also has the ability to formulate it to a broader public
Russia seems to be going about this like it was ww2 all over again. There are nazis everywhere, indescribable cruelty is the norm and civilian infra is a free target.
Not really - I say not at all - its the west that tries to paint such strange picture of Putin. When there were protests in last 10 years in the east Putin was always super reluctant to do anything about it and frequently refused to send any police help. He could have easily rebuild that part of Soviet Union yet he never even moved a finger to do so.
Her own society is helpless and has been ever since Lenin. They only know a dictator ordering them to brutalize their neighbors and themselves in the name of russian patriotism.
1) Let the propaganda aside. Putin never talked about using nuclear weapons in Ukraine. 2) A Soviet leader's descendent getting a University degree for free (all education was free in the Soviet Union) from prestigious Moscow University and joining the USA workforce. Depressing!
I saw (more than 10 years ago) that Crimea was offered to Ukraine to "compensate" for the Politburo's refusal to go ahead with a development plan for Ukraine because it was already known that there was gas, oil, rare materials that Nikita Khrushchev presented at the time (apparently, Russia was afraid of competition within Soviet Slavery ! Has Nina Khrushcheva ever heard of this plan? Some Russian critics said Putinoquio invaded Ukraine to avoid Ukraine could be a big competitor and that reminded me that video a I saw.
I so appreciate her take. Orwellian-that’s the perfect adjective, I think. I’ve long felt the Russian people as a whole, don’t want this, and I can’t imagine what it must be like for good Russian people who are just stuck.
How do you know? What made you write realistic. Teach me how to judge 100 + cultural country without knowing its languages, history, traditions. Without trying to walk in "their shoes"? We get why she can - she paid to say that, but why you mate? Is it brainwash? Why are you so arrogant? Journalist have to present objectively the case from at least two sides and let the viewers to decide. The presentation of the problem should be based objective things like economics, history, interactions within, interactions outside, major players and their interests, but no all comes to "too crazy or not so crazy" how dump is that! Shame on you for your simplicity.
@@alexandrfedotov6791 No, journalists do not have to present all sides. Most journalism is slanted. If you don't realize that, shame on you for your simplicity.
@@alexandrfedotov6791 A journalist present facts in an envelope of standpoint and attitude. It’s always the case. There’s always a bias, and you are indeed crying about something not achievable - with thorough analysis you’d need hours, not an interview minutes short. On the other hand, Russian media do not even attempt to be objective.
All these comments about how smart this lady is reinforces my belief that we lack critical thinking skills in America. How is this stuff not common sense or easy to derive? What did she express that wasn't apparent from the onset of this war?? I guess I don't understand.
Russia & eastern europe in general get very little attention in US schools. Generally only people who have family or some other connection to that part of the world would be able to understand 'regular' coverage. Therefore the media have to provide basic information and oversimplify things just to make events understandable. Ex. A well respected newspaper referred to the Russia-Ukraine conflict as having started in 2014. My first response was, "Oh, that's a typo. They meant 1214, obviously."
Angela Merkel said Putin and Russia would make reliable partners for the West and American warnings about Russian aggression and Russia using energy as a weapon were russophibia. Even today she defends closing German nuclear power plants and building Nordstream I and Nordstream ll.
This lady is very well informed. I am German and grew up during the cold War period with Germany divided in two parts and the horrible frontier in the middle of our country. Russians and all citizens of the East who belonged to Udssr were closed as in a prison. No free speech, no jeans, no long hair, no rock music, no coca cola, no free traveling, no western radio or TV because it came from the so much hated West. Then came Gorbaciov and we had so much hope for a changing process in Russia, but since 2000 when Putin arrived Russia moved back to Udssr hehaviours and the Lady says it very well it is like George Orwell 2022.
Yeah... You are free. That's why soon you wont have future. Why? Just because you will be swiped off because of your freedom. Explain: A) you dont have future because of lgbtq. 2 men or 2 women cant bring a birth, dear. 😄 B) because of your (nato) invasions all will run to Europe. They will remove your nation; C) upcoming 2-3 years 20% of your nation will die due to sanctions that you have put against yourself 😂. From cold, from starving. 🤣 I can keep go on, mate. Good luck, and dont come with your begging to Russia later on.
I do actually feel sorry for the average russian citizen.. they are just people and families like us, trying to live ! Its so so sad that they are misled into thinking we the West want them to suffer - we really dont but we all just want to live in peace. Im sure the ukranians just want their homeland back and peace.. a future without fear!!

You better start working on getting into shape because once Putin is done conscripting Syrians and other mercenaries from the middle east and North Korea he will probably turn to moving you trolls to the front lines as more cannon fodder for his dream of a reconstituted USSR!
@@funtime-gc3lo You mean Mad Vlad. He's not Russia. I suppose you also think water is dry and up is really down? You're either trolling, or dumber than a sack of turds.
Can’t wait for her next interview.
What an accurate way of describing the average russian citizen situation: "Despair"... "No future".
Thank you professor!
My heart goes out to people on both sides.
She's definitely right about despair... I also can feel it in the air here in Moscow. Despair mixed with disgust to those that support Putin and yell "kill more Ukrainians"
Are people truly aware of how much destruction and hell he is inflicting on Ukraine? I can't believe this is happening in my lifetime. Your country is so sick.
Take care and stay safe.
love from Holland.
Great insight and well-presented.
Ever since I came here in 1979 and I noticed that every time there was a democratic president in the Whitehouse.
There was always wars or chaos every where around the world
Really sad for mothers 😢 on both sides
Mothers brothers sisters fathers friends. This war is a disaster and is pointless. Imagine Afghanistan for the Russians.... yet again!
We pray for those suffering on both "sides," knowing that many of them do NOT want to be involved in this war.
She is great at articulating the situation.
Lies, lies, lies. Propaganda to get paid by the US
Professor Nina Khrushcheva is very well-spoken and educated. I hope we can see more content with her.
Other than Julia Ioffe, she presented to best analysis I've heard yet. Why haven't we seen more interviews with her?
More of her please. So smart, informative. Less of media needing to apply a simple label to people? “Is Putin rational?” Seems just a question to create a headline, not one to elicit useful info. She batted that away quick. And the interviewers take “ok, some of both.” Not sure he got her response on irrelevance of question.
It wasn't irrelevant though and she didn't "bat" it away. The interviewer didn't understand her answer, and neither do you. The crux of her argument is that it is a matter of worldviews and philosophical paradigms. Putin's apparent irrationality to us is due to viewing through the bias of our own worldviews. This is important because it is the fundamental failure of Putin, as well. His miscalculations are due to operating by a set of logic principles that are not applicable to a large amount of the rest of the world.
Seems like a post just to criticize the media with the the thinnest of evicdence. Notice you don’t really speak on the actual substance of her comments, very telling.
@@cjohnson3836 He is caught up in his own 'groupthink' paradigm. God help us all.
@@andymoore9977 This statement doesn't really mean anything. Every group, be your social group or the bureaucracy of a nation, has its own internal structure and operating procedures. How that bureaucracy then interacts at various scales with those other groups that have different procedures and structure is what we call geopolitics. The entire point is that the protocols by which Putin, and really, Russian governance for a century now, operate is not suitable for its interactions with the rest of the world. The thing is, we have a whole lot in our own nations' structure we can argue the same.
@@cjohnson3836 So, I am not anti-media. I just think sometimes the media wants to simplify issues by applying categories/labels (just as other or many people do by calling someone a "lib" or whatever) -- Interviewer sets up first question as "Biden says Putin rational. Macron says he is irrational. Why is this an important question?" Her first response "It's not that important" (batting away this question of labeling Putin) and then she goes on to give a more substantive response based on Putin's background and so on. The overall interview was good and had substance. The start of it imo not great. To each their own.
First sentence she shows she really knows how to break it down better than anyone else I've heard yet. Why isn't she getting more coverage she's the best yet.
plus that CNN had her on and allowed her to speak without cryng 'disinformation' was appreciated
She is exposing the Leftist/Marxist Madness that exists in many countries. The reason she's pushed into the shadows is she makes Leftists Look Really BAD!
She is talking that putin can not loose when he already did.
@@piotr7427 I think you are oversimplifying this. He certainly cannot win but neither can he lose.
Like him or not, he is an experienced politician and a former spy, he knows he can't win but also knows he doesn't have to be cornered. I think it's very illusory to believe he is going to back down because of some sanctions.
Amazing how used to mindless American babbling we are used to to fill 24 hr news cycles. Then you hear something like this and suddenly realize that there are people with real world knowledge that should be the main focus and not these talking heads. Props to her and the interviewer here
I'm from Russia and I can agree with her.
I’m so glad I got to hear Professor Nina. Excellent insight.
Wow yes please have her back again!
Yes, yes, yes!
CNN needs to produce more useful interview content like this.
Hard too, just focus on jan 6th, white supremistly, cover bidens gaffes
Never gonna happen. They make propaganda, this just happens to be one you like.
A truly wonderful professor, so interesting. I have listened to Russians speak of their disapproval of Putin, and his government while in democratic countries outside of Russia, and they appreciate the simple act of free speech, which so many take for granted in the West.
Great analysis!
Way too short. This woman has so much to tell us and teach us. PLEASE have her back soon!
Hopefully l she will be back
Oh, I agree l it was a very short interview . I hope she will be back
This woman is a dunce!
@@ecurewitz Hello Belly, how are you doing today
I'm from Russia and I agree with her.
"War is Peace. Ignorance is Strength." On the Button. Thank you George Orwell.
russia wil win because they are in the right path to justice 💕
That's the Democrat's motto.
@@funtime-gc3lo 'Justice' for the FSB and their oligarch buddies. Hell and retribution for everybody else.
Not to mention, USA GOP.
@@funtime-gc3lo People who blow Putin for a living don't get to utter their "opinion" here. Find another stall to blow dear leader in.
The professor is dialed in and clearly knew what she was talking about!
Russian Republic: Their is a possiblity that Russia can change for the good of the world. G20 is the right time, right now( )
()
G20 is the only way! This KGB stuff has got to go. Putin has to comprehend that historically Ukraine is not going to bow down to a man that wants to control a country that wants to be a democracy. Russian people know that a Russian Republic will work for them ( )

Professor other Fool or enemy or both.
"He's both rational and irrational"
Yeah...What a deep thinker.
it's george orwell 2022 - is she even a real professor ? talking such garbage
Wow 😳 -- incredible.
Truly insightful...
'Level of despair indescribable' after the guest just described it. Nice...
She is definitely the kind of person who should be having more to time. She is very knowledgeable and what she says made immediate sense. Thanks
How much is she being paid for that ugly propaganda I wonder
Very inteligent woman... what she sayed is on spot !!!!
said is spot on. De nada
How much did she get paid for ths propaganda. Shame on her.
My first time to hear such a wise lady may God give you more life
Great interview with Nina Khrushcheva. There's sadly so many interviews and viewpoints from people who aren't that knowledgeable about the subject matter, on Ukraine or so many other things, that its so refreshing to hear a great interview with a person with a so much more profound understanding and expert knowledge, and who also has the ability to formulate it to a broader public
Exactly. And she is obviously not one of them.
This interview was top shelf.
Wow, she is amazing, absolutely credible.
What an intelligent woman. I’d love to hear more of her insights.
Hello Sherri, how are you doing today
Respect she has a good feel on what's going on ... better than media speculation and over hype sending out messages of worry 😟
Good to hear from the grand daughter of Kruschev herself. Much has changed in Russia except for Putin - still living in the nostalgia of USSR.
great-granddaughter
Russia seems to be going about this like it was ww2 all over again. There are nazis everywhere, indescribable cruelty is the norm and civilian infra is a free target.
Not really - I say not at all - its the west that tries to paint such strange picture of Putin. When there were protests in last 10 years in the east Putin was always super reluctant to do anything about it and frequently refused to send any police help. He could have easily rebuild that part of Soviet Union yet he never even moved a finger to do so.
Very good to hear her
This is exactly how most Russians feel. Frozen with despair. That’s true.
This was a good report.
❤thanks for posting
I really respect and appreciate her unique insights into her own society. Listen to her!
A treator, and a ugly one
Her own society is helpless and has been ever since Lenin. They only know a dictator ordering them to brutalize their neighbors and themselves in the name of russian patriotism.
That was chilling. This is a dark hour indeed for Russia and Europe
Fascinating.
I really enjoyed hearing her perspective.
Finally someone who knows what she's talking about, not just some self declared "expert" doing guesswork from 10000miles away. Thanks prof. Khushcheva
Wrong. She moves with relative freedom in and out of Russia because of her grampa, but she's a windbag of the neolibcons
1) Let the propaganda aside. Putin never talked about using nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
2) A Soviet leader's descendent getting a University degree for free (all education was free in the Soviet Union) from prestigious Moscow University and joining the USA workforce. Depressing!
I saw (more than 10 years ago) that Crimea was offered to Ukraine to "compensate" for the Politburo's refusal to go ahead with a development plan for Ukraine because it was already known that there was gas, oil, rare materials that Nikita Khrushchev presented at the time (apparently, Russia was afraid of competition within Soviet Slavery !
Has Nina Khrushcheva ever heard of this plan?
Some Russian critics said Putinoquio invaded Ukraine to avoid Ukraine could be a big competitor and that reminded me that video a I saw.
She is GREAT! Love listening to her
I so appreciate her take. Orwellian-that’s the perfect adjective, I think. I’ve long felt the Russian people as a whole, don’t want this, and I can’t imagine what it must be like for good Russian people who are just stuck.
Pshhh, it's in America where you MUST say 2+2=5. In Russia there's just a couple things you can't say, and anything goes beyond that.
Where can I find more of this lady? She really did great.
Perhaps by searching her name.
Bring her back please !! Great interview.
Wow, she is tuned in the world we ALL inhabit.
Extremely well said from someone with a clear insight into Russia. 👍
There is a reason why the grandfather of this lady was call "the butcher of Kiev".
This professor provided first hand info that I've not heard in any other report. Good job CNN.
@Kinyobisan
You think this is good? You should see her in person....
I could listen to this lady for hours. Very realist and nuanced report on the state of things in Russia.
How do you know? What made you write realistic. Teach me how to judge 100 + cultural country without knowing its languages, history, traditions. Without trying to walk in "their shoes"? We get why she can - she paid to say that, but why you mate? Is it brainwash? Why are you so arrogant? Journalist have to present objectively the case from at least two sides and let the viewers to decide. The presentation of the problem should be based objective things like economics, history, interactions within, interactions outside, major players and their interests, but no all comes to "too crazy or not so crazy" how dump is that! Shame on you for your simplicity.
Haha and what made you think that just by listening to one interview when you are behind a camera your and actor
@@alexandrfedotov6791 No, journalists do not have to present all sides. Most journalism is slanted. If you don't realize that, shame on you for your simplicity.
@@wandasetzer1469 most of journalists are slunted and mostly for money (to make a career), which is a kind of prostitute. Simply put it
@@alexandrfedotov6791 A journalist present facts in an envelope of standpoint and attitude. It’s always the case. There’s always a bias, and you are indeed crying about something not achievable - with thorough analysis you’d need hours, not an interview minutes short.
On the other hand, Russian media do not even attempt to be objective.
He will not stop until he is stopped.
Just... OMG.
All these comments about how smart this lady is reinforces my belief that we lack critical thinking skills in America. How is this stuff not common sense or easy to derive? What did she express that wasn't apparent from the onset of this war?? I guess I don't understand.
Russia & eastern europe in general get very little attention in US schools. Generally only people who have family or some other connection to that part of the world would be able to understand 'regular' coverage. Therefore the media have to provide basic information and oversimplify things just to make events understandable.
Ex. A well respected newspaper referred to the Russia-Ukraine conflict as having started in 2014. My first response was, "Oh, that's a typo. They meant 1214, obviously."
Angela Merkel said Putin and Russia would make reliable partners for the West and American warnings about Russian aggression and Russia using energy as a weapon were russophibia. Even today she defends closing German nuclear power plants and building Nordstream I and Nordstream ll.
This lady is very well informed. I am German and grew up during the cold War period with Germany divided in two parts and the horrible frontier in the middle of our country. Russians and all citizens of the East who belonged to Udssr were closed as in a prison. No free speech, no jeans, no long hair, no rock music, no coca cola, no free traveling, no western radio or TV because it came from the so much hated West. Then came Gorbaciov and we had so much hope for a changing process in Russia, but since 2000 when Putin arrived Russia moved back to Udssr hehaviours and the Lady says it very well it is like George Orwell 2022.
Yeah... You are free. That's why soon you wont have future. Why?
Just because you will be swiped off because of your freedom. Explain:
A) you dont have future because of lgbtq. 2 men or 2 women cant bring a birth, dear. 😄 B) because of your (nato) invasions all will run to Europe. They will remove your nation; C) upcoming 2-3 years 20% of your nation will die due to sanctions that you have put against yourself 😂. From cold, from starving. 🤣
I can keep go on, mate.
Good luck, and dont come with your begging to Russia later on.
I do actually feel sorry for the average russian citizen.. they are just people and families like us, trying to live ! Its so so sad that they are misled into thinking we the West want them to suffer - we really dont but we all just want to live in peace. Im sure the ukranians just want their homeland back and peace.. a future without fear!!
If u want peace ask ur leder for Stop the war,u west ledar are the main acuse for this war,only there interested, time has ur west can not rull world we indian also stop u america and west
More of her, please.
Thank you Nina Khrushcheva
Very intelligent and articulate response.
