ฝัง

- Guardian correspondent Luke Harding chronicles the defining moments in Putin's early presidency that helped turn Russia into a 'mafia state' - from the clampdown on the independent media, to shocking assassinations and the emergence of pro-western democratic movements in neighbouring Georgia and Ukraine

An excellent documentary.. thank you to The Guardian...
A real true mafia never surrender in war
The video was very well done, but why would you skip the war of 2008? That was a decisive moment, when Putin gambled and it payed off, due to West’s reluctance to confront him. I think, this is a very important part of this story.
its common sense, its how every country functions
"They're not that into you, Vladimir"
When Mafias don't run Cities anymore but Countries.
There is truth to the expression.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
You have to make a deal with the devil to achieve some sort of stability and peace. Sometimes they have a temper tantrum!
Exactly
Not exactly right. “To achieve some sort of control rather than stability and peace.”
the more powerful the person the less tolerent they become. You are all his enemy
Great video!
Thank you very much for most illustrative material
Power corrupts the Russian seem to not understand that
Those who are blinded by it tend not to see it.
Poison is a coward's weapon.
Great reporting! I learned more from this than in the last 7-8 months??
Luke Harding, thank for your great research. Great job. In the same time would you mind to eleborate anything about vassal syndrome and if this research relates to that syndrome? Have you ever seen a former Empire to become a vassal? How do former benchmark media contribute to the syndrome?
Your right, lets dismantle Ruzzia.
@Carl Thor Great idea. Looks like they`ve started preparation with Texas. Let`s see
@@Whatifsomate Nah, Texas is self destructing along political lines all on it's own.
So, this is Luke Hardin’ little work 🤓 … Pfff !!!
What is really astonishing is that those guys from the Guardian went complaining about the expelling of these MEDIA CORPORATIONS AGENTS from Russia 😲…
You’ve got to be extremely SHAMELESS to go publicly complaining !!
Specially this dude Hardin, he’s a HARDCORE Western Media agent.
I am completely surprised that he’s been in Russia 🇷🇺 for such a long time👍🏼
Peace, please.
Basically another Hitter that the West entertained for decades. On the face of it, it was obvious it would come to this.
Humanity has not learned by its previous mistakes, where does it end...
@@alexsilent5603 what is it like to have the whole world hate you all. Nazi Russia
@@alexsilent5603 least he was elected by the people.Where’s the freedom in russia? How many yrs in prison do you risk for being critical towards the regime?!
@@alexsilent5603 that actually does. They could stop Putin way before the war started, back in 2012 but they wouldn't do it. Why? Because they wanted a weak and totalitarian Russia rather than strong, prosperous, wealthy and democratic one
Russia is basically a Mafia kleptocracy, with Putin as the Capo di tutti Capi .
@@alexsilent5603 Yea, we have flag shaggers here in the UK as well
Russia well lesson learned from. Invasions of Iraq Afganistan. Lybia palestine. Yemen. Syria. El Salvado. Yugoslavia....
The U.S. "Invasions of Iraq Afganistan. Lybia palestine. Yemen. Syria. El Salvado. Yugoslavia...."
@@oldfan1963 The US invaded Yugolslavia,Lybia, Yemen, El Salvador,Syria, I must of missed that or someone around here is lying and didn't the Russians invade Yugoslavia and Afganistan or am I messaging a bot.
google how many wars the usa participated in and how many russia
It has been happening for years. Absolutely not new
not the first time the Soviets starved Ukraine out
Pueden traducir?
Yes
If only he was 6 inches taller, none of this would have happened.
elaborate?
@@abl3988 - elaborate vertically
I remember in 2006 when Litvinenko was poisoned by Putin. That's when I think alot of Americans saw who Putin really was.
He's currently hiding in his bunker like Hitler
Putin likes to say things like "It's the end of the Unipolar world"..
Come on Vlad, tell us how you really feel, Jeez.
He is Vova. Vlad - is Vladislav
@human being Said the one week old bot, nice try shifting the blame thought . Putler want to reward you with some tea next morning.
But it is is the end of Unipolar world? Otherwise we wouldnt have this new Cold War.
@@walterjames9804 he didnt shift the blame though? Just corrected the OP.
@@bombaster3984, I’ve heard that Vlad = Vladymir, at least in the US.
What about Prince MBS and his medieval kingdom in modern times? They are worst than mafias!
Nurenberg is waiting
Can I Said, " Uraaaaa...... "
We have heard that from Putin and Trump….who do you believe..? A smart man says neither..!!
THE NEWS WAS GREAT BUT THE MUSIC WAS TOO LOUD .. SORRY
7:23 "All enemies of [the] people must die, and some must die in a very terrible way"
Careful what you prescribe, arch-enemy of the people.
What he says and does are different. It's a lot like the Conservative party in the UK!
Che criminale
Three criminals Together of course they think they can do bossiness together
'Ukraine must cease to exist, otherwise, Russia itself may cease to exist'
In that case, Glory to Ukraine!
Russia since 1991 need to get back to the glory days, this is not a easy way, but a effective one
@@mohamedsalah8384 Слава Україні!!! Ганьба Росії!!!
Glory and freedom to the Confederate States of America!
It's more likes Russia's government rather than the population of it that should disappear.
What happened to all the illness stories about Putin?
Putin may still have cancer. But that isn't something that kills you in a week.
Yeah, it turns out that he is obsessed with botox, hence all these weird things that happened to him.
It turns out the cancer stories may be solid. But it does not mean he is going to die tomorrow.
British media said that he is dead allready but they replaced him with a duplicate xD
@@juba5138 yes, his current clone used to be called "Dimitry Medvedev" ;-)
oh and bush is peace noble prize man
Love the mind-bogglingly simplistic thinking on display here. In what world do you watch this and think "they're saying Putin is a bad man, ergo they think George Bush is a good man"? Dichotomous thinking is not usually a sign of a world-class intellect.
Obama won a Nobel peace prize after starting 5 wars that created famine death and misery. Western righteousness is mind boggling lol
@@naynay1139 Obama wasn't mentioned in his comment or the video. Lol.
I advise you to read about tu quoque logical fallacy. People who support dictatorships without critical thinking are no different than animals
@@davemcshane6341
What are your solutions to what is now happening in Ukraine?
You westerners need to understand that, In the East ,people, society, culture etc are totally different. Eastern societies are not mature enough to understand the concept like democracy, Individuality etc
There is a childish concept of "strong leader" in the eastern countries. That's why people love and want leaders like Putin, Modi,Xi, kim, Erdogon .
@@alexsilent5603 they allready have grown up.You’re falling behind..
@@alexsilent5603 why not? Russia is blocking grain to be shiped out of Ukraine..
@@alexsilent5603 the queen has no powers in the UK. The monarch is a figurehead. She can't implement rules, laws or even vote. When you spout your rhetoric can you at least research your comments first please?
@@user-pw7mr4ud7j South Korea is western country. South Korean foreign minister publicly acknowledged it. See, it's not about geographical position but mindset, values, lifestyle etc which matter the most!
@@alexsilent5603 Ah yes, yet again that childish Putinist war rethoric of "I'm not fascist, YOU are fascist! I'm not crying, YOU are crying!"
This should have been called "Putin's Ukraine"
I hope there is a solution to this barbarism!!!
K should have been at that revolution i missed itp
Russia claims that they want respect from the world. This is not possible when oligarchs and organized crime prop up their political system. Corruption is their biggest enemy. Freedom and Opportunity are spiritual tenets that cannot flourish when they are not respected.
What happens is oceans eleven uses a keltic view option for domain regions at sublevel as already view for Asia and is on keltic view all day and shows black and white because debris as that as exposures are can be viewed closer view and what it is also to the pint of a toon if you need it and is why it is untied affairs my alliance you are loved.and the form is in your capable hands for that.
Cap
I doubt there will be any fun peace rock festivals in Russia this year, where people go celebrate our common humanity... This started as a riot in a Donbas football match that now is heading toward a possible nuclear catastrophe... Both sides have nuclear power stations that are vulnerable ... It is time to stop ✋ this sleepwalking into darkness, lets get things back to normal.
Define "normal."
😔😔😔
Isn't this a repost from this channel?
No, it's not. Here's the first episode: th-cam.com/video/9HJyluQeD2Q/w-d-xo.html
@@theGuardian thankyou for letting me know. Its much appreciated. Great content.
Evil personified!
This is evil. This is not reality.
like your country is any different
Guessing you haven't travelled that much if you think russia is the same as everywhere else 😑
@Untold Using old events to summarise a new age?
Irony.
They should interview Bush and ask him what he thinks about Putins soul lately
Just what I thought
❤❤
Saya orang Indonesia,punya alasan yang tersendiri,menyukai bangsa rusia.tentu perang amat menyakitkan dan menyengsarakan.
Ask Ukraine about how they feel about Russia... Have you ever been to Russia? Do you know someone who lives in Russia?
@@mrhankey9850 what for ... a man can't have an opinion ?
@@lolamisaki2051 Opinion based on what? Trying to think of positives in favour of Russia, but struggling big time.
Well, everything is clear, Putin Russia, as always blah blah blah from the staff of The Guardian.
Goerge bush did the same thing
So did u!
Very soon we'll get together to establishment a much better world ,,it'll be even much better then our realtime future ,,love u dear putin
It is called Napoleonic Complex not Dictator Syndrome, you made that up.
Up
Slava Ukraini! Glory to Ukraine! Ukraine will be prosperous! Ukraine will win! Glory to the Heroes!
you can post whatever video you like.Guess what "it changes nothing"
Really??? What about USA and NATO for the last 30 years ???
Keep shouting, Putin shill. We see you.
Yeah… what about it?
whataboutism is pathetic. you are pathetic.
I urgently need my pills "it's different it's not the same"))))
Thats the same baseless, childish excuse that all clueless Putin fanboys use😑 ... do you have anything to say that actually legitimately justifies what russia is doing???
This is what The Guardian has become off late….being an instrument of politicians
Guardian is living in alternative reality
If it's an alternative to yours, that's undoubtedly a good thing.
@@davemcshane6341 i bet you are the type of person who follows Paul Mason ...
@@mat_j I bet you're the type of person who follows Alex Jones.
@@davemcshane6341 lol, you are completely off. I'm on the left of you
@@mat_j You would have to be half Putin’s age or younger to believe any of the 10 minutes wasn’t reality.
To blame Iraq in general means this channel or the ppl speaking don't know much of what they're saying and haven't done their home work
I wonder how many of you people watched this and thought about posting a comment but decided not to because you are afraid.
No one is afraid of Russia or pukin.
So america.. What do u care uh?
Blah blah, because all our government in the west are so much better -give me a break
putin 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖😂😂
Before...do something for this world....or ..even for yourself before you think ... your minds so important for others. 😉
真の リーダー プーチン

U Americans 🤦😂
I get pained to hear past colonialists and neocolonialist s sermoning countries who do not have that horrible past!
Russia does not have a colonialist past? Are you serious?
@@Dschengis01 I bet he doesn't even know what the word means, just knows it's something bad and uses it hoping it'll make sense
HAHAHA RUSSIA WILL HAVE A NEW OWNER ❤
?
それは プーチン 大統領 です。
BS
Why are you sheep’s afraid of this littles hairless dog? Put him to sleep forever 👍
You mean, why don’t Russians put him to sleep forever? That’s just impossible:( This country is controlled be KGB completely. At least all Putin’s surroundings. And others… Nobody even knows his location. Just impossible…
The Guardian is oblivious to their own hypocrisy.
Found the Daily Mail reader.
Alternative reality? Well I agree except whose economy is in turmoil, Russian Rubble is doing better than pre-war meanwhile as Europe awaits freezing cold winter
The Rubble increase in monetary value is superficial. Putin has entirely frozen its liquidity and prohibited it from being sold. So basically it is a high monetary price coin that no one wants.
Putin > Biden
Uraaaaa!!!
bush and blair no less criminal then putin
From Iraq to Putin 🇮🇶🙏
Long live the Putin
For the sake of the existence of the billions of people on this planet, I say otherwise.
Putin is great leader I hoop I had leader like him. Respect him. I am not Russian
I hope you enjoy not criticising and having yourself and your family being threatened if you would do so.
If you like Mafia style kleptocrats, sure.
@@tommckellen342 All politicians are mafia and cleptocrats, what do you expect.
May Divine Heaven punish this war criminal named vladimir putin for the inhumane deeds he has committed and his terrible lies forever.And also the serious consequences that warmongering dictator makes pay us!
i would trust putin more than any leader in the west
lies lies liesLIES
America will fall HARD AND PERMANENT!!
Yawn.
In your dreams Vlad .
Glory to Russia !!!
Oh look a childish troll 😑
If only the glory was legitimate and not off of a basis on impressively covered up and ignored genocides they commit.

Why
