Russia: Old foe or new ally? | Head to Head

In this episode of Head to Head , Mehdi Hasan talks to Natalia Narochnitskaya, a Russian historian and former member of the Duma, or Russian parliament, for the ultra-nationalist party Rodina (Motherland).
We discuss with her Russia's intervention in Syria and Ukraine and the annexation of the Crimean peninsula, and the consequences of these actions for its relationship with Western powers and NATO. We also discuss President Vladimir Putin's rule and examine the country's human rights record.

правильное замечание по поводу беспокойства России о потенциальном членстве Украины в НАТО: «Если Россия не хочет, чтобы Украина стала членом НАТО, наверное, ей лучше было бы не заниматься военной интервенцией в этой стране.» (этот момент на 16:30 на этом клипе). Действительно Россия своей интервенцией провоцировала (и провоцирует) именно то, что так сильно её беспокоит. Это абсолютно естественно и предсказуемо, что первым делом Украина будет бежать именно к НАТО за самозащитой от этой интервенции (и от дальнейшей интервенции) на своей собственной территории. Станет ли Украина членом НАТО или нет -- это открытый вопрос. Но Россия делает всё от нее зависящее, чтобы подталкивать Киев именно к этому желанию и надобности.

A prescient comment

[@sergeibuff9175]

Я посмотрел передачу целиком, она интересная. Обращу внимание на момент, который носителями английского-со-словарем не может быть замечен. У нашей дамы отвратительная манера речи и деревянный язык, это просто, на слух, Доктор Зло, "русский злодей" из кино. У всех остальных участников язык свободный и формулируют они гораздо более умело. Лучше всех путинизм защищал английский профессор. Нарочницкая при этом плыла по всем вопросам вообще, особенно про малайзийский самолет и убийства журналистов, а под конец, вишенкой на торте, обнаружилось, что она не владеет терминологией насчет пидородвижения - то что в ленте новостей постоянно. Не владеет терминологией, вы заценили? Это было избиение и макание в говно всю дорогу, абсолютно по всему кругу политвопросов, причем не просто этой тетки глупой, ее вытащили на помост представлять Россию. Не нашлось никого лучше. Я не говорю, что это незаслуженно, однако уж очень позорно. Империя Козла, даже в диванные войска некого рекрутировать, профессионалов нет.

I usually don't watch state-owned media because of the obvious conflicts of interest and biases and whatnot. However, Al Jazeera is a lot better at separating their views/opinions from truthful journalism. They aren't always perfect and not always without biased and you can always tell the Qatari view on every episode when watching this news network, but I honestly feel they are near the top of state-owned media. Like I said, I prefer private or public journalism. I do not like state-owned media generally. I'm actually a libertarian leaning person so me watching a state-owned news network is different. I can't stand RT news though, there biases are blatant and they lie and twist stories almost every single time. I truly respect Mehdi Hasan for his on his journalism. I mostly just watch the stories and debates that Mehdi Hasan is in. I feel as though he is the most honest and unbiased .

Assad is killing people who have taken arms against his regime. It is simple and every regime on earth would do exactly the same but America, whose Middle East policies are devised in Israel are pretending Assad is simply bombing his own people.

See the thing is whenever the media is going so hard against certain leaders, while ignoring others doing the same.. I get this feeling that they are not that bad of a leader but are more of a threat to certain other nations.

The "media" doesn't tho, literally this program, "Head to Head" invited pro-American foreign policy people and just ripped them to shreds.

[@redwine2664]

This host was pumped up to bomb the panelists against Putin from the word go.

[@taqiyasir8086]

one of the funniest episodes of head to head ever. typical Russians, LOL

[@kahirm3677]

Her whataboutism is incredible

[@sambou6286]

Mehdi Hassan has revolutonized how debates and interviews should be conducted, why the sugar- coating and soft-spokeness? On the other hand, it was painful listening to the Russian lady. I can speak better Russian when I have a stomach constipation and I am not even Russian.....

I'm shocked. There was a referendum in Chechnya. Why she did not mentioned about it? Chechens chose to stay with Russia.

Sure there are Fascist processions every January in Kyiv. The same sort of Fascist processions happen every November in Moscow & St Petersburg. The same in Warsaw too. That according to her logic would make Russia & Poland Fascist states.

Respect to Mehdi for being well researched and tough in confronting her lies!

[@sumitpandey3625]

Ask the locals who are finally peaceful, happy after such a long ordeal and far more hopeful about better future.

[@websterbodybuilder]

So ...who ran the referendum in Crimea ?

[@mik4rowl346]

Russia when occupied it and blocked Ukrainian military forces in Crimea.ukraine wasn't ready for that.

[@josephinev2327]

I never see the same questions being asked to US/Western administration apologists. Horrible patronizing questions from the journalist that wouldn't let the guest to complete her words!

[@dpelikh]

Отличное интервью, не понятно только зачем её пустили! Её ответы были очевидны, ничего нового мы не узнали. Это как махать руками и не иметь возможности ударить, они гнут свою линию и им плевать на мировое мнение. Не важно кто будет выступать, они будут все отрицать и шаблонно отвечать!!! Но покрасней мере в таком формате узнают правду и сделают выводы гораздо больше людей во всем мире. Так что хорошо что её пустили )))

[@saurobonfini4506]

Stop to interrupt the guest avery answer let them allows to speaks

[@faizalhakim3772]

Enjoying these head to heads whilst on lockdown

[@jabarsadiq6205]

Way to go Mehdi Hassan! You are the man!

[@paulmao6431]

Appreciate Russia for tremendous contribution towards world peace. I felt the US could have contributed more if she is not run after the economic benefits, if she is not run after the middle east oil... In the name of Human Right the US destroyed many nations where the people suffered 100 times more than the bring justice to the people... Hope and pray that the countries like Russia, US, China, etc should work together for the world peace.

Absolute power corrupts and can never be reasonable in its actions.

[@selenamalash2381]

[@bdfybdfyjd6125]

Crimea was annexed to Ukraine, then a Soviet republic in 1954 Khrushchev.
