LE MONDE : REPORTAGE | A Irpin, située dans sa banlieue, au moins huit civils ont été tués par des frappes. L’armée ukrainienne craint soit un puissant assaut, soit un encerclement et l’instauration d’un siège.
Ils sont peut-être les derniers à pouvoir fuir Irpin avant que la ville tombe aux mains de l’armée russe. L’artillerie frappe à intervalles réguliers. Des combats à l’arme automatique s’engagent. Au nord-ouest de la capitale ukrainienne, Irpin est, dimanche 6 mars, en train de sombrer. Des combattants ukrainiens, dont beaucoup ont déjà quitté leurs positions pour se replier aux abords de Kiev, aident des familles à avancer vers la forêt ou à s’engouffrer dans les rares voitures encore disponibles. Ils ont déjà fait sauter le pont d’Irpin afin de ralentir l’avancée des chars russes vers la capitale. La conquête imminente du pont marquera officiellement l’arrivée de l’armée de Moscou à la limite administrative de Kiev.
Au-delà des raids aériens, des tirs de missiles et des incursions d’unités de forces spéciales qui rythment la guerre à Kiev depuis le 24 février – Moscou étant par ailleurs encore loin d’utiliser sa force aérienne contre la ville et les derniers jours ayant été relativement calmes –, l’arrivée de l’assaillant aux portes de la capitale signifiera sans nul doute une nouvelle étape dans l’offensive russe. L’armée ukrainienne craint soit un puissant assaut, soit un encerclement et l’instauration d’un siège. » | Par Rémy Ourdan (Kiev, envoyé spécial) | ;undi 7 mars 2022

Moskau bezweifelt Österreichs Neutralität und droht Wien
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Moskau weist die Kritik des österreichischen Kanzlers Nehammer am Überfall auf die Ukraine scharf zurück. Unterschwellig wird gedroht: Man werde das „künftig berücksichtigen“.
Zwischen Moskau und Wien ist am Wochenende ein scharfer Wortwechsel über die österreichische Neutralität ausgetragen worden. Das russische Außenministerium verbreitete eine Erklärung, in der der Bundeskanzler des „scheinbar neutralen Ös-terreichs“ hart kritisiert wurde. Er ha¬be in den vergangenen Tagen „einsei¬tige und empörende Aussagen“ zur Situation in der Ukraine getätigt und eine „emotionale antirussische Rhetorik“ gebraucht.
Dabei bezieht sich Moskau auf Äu¬ßerungen von Bundeskanzler Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) über die einseitige Entfesselung des Ukrainekriegs durch Russland, Kriegsverbrechen sowie Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit. Ferner wird eine Bemerkung Nehammers kritisiert, die Neutralität sei Österreich nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg durch sow¬jetische Kommunisten „aufgezwungen“ worden. In diesem Zusammenhang erinnert Moskau daran, dass die Rote Armee für die „Befreiung des Territoriums dieses Landes“, also Ös¬terreichs, einen hohen Preis entrichtet habe, mehr als 26.000 Soldaten seien dabei gefallen. » | Von Stephan Löwenstein, Politischer Korrespondent mit Sitz in Wien. | Sonntag, 6.

The Terrifying Reality of Life under Russia's Anti-Gay Laws
Jan 6, 2014 • The Iron Closet: Russia's draconian anti-gay laws effectively licensing violent vigilante gangs to target the LGBT community.
Brutally beaten and forced to drink their own urine while being filmed for internet broadcasts, homosexuals lured into the hands of vigilante groups like Occupy Pedofilyaj (who uniformly view gays as paedophiles) should be very afraid. But they can't expect any help from the police: if they're caught the police arrest the victims and not their torturers. "The objective is to look for paedophile-minded residents and film a video that will them leave them publicly disgraced", Yekaterina Zigunova, of the group Occupy Pedofilyaj, boasts unashamedly.
The encouragement and free hand they're given is one of the more confronting features of Russia's anti-gay stance. The law has left homosexuals living in fear. Even an expression that you believe in equal rights, or any public display, could result in arrest. "Theoretically it's possible to start hauling us into the police station today", Masha Gessen says about co-habiting with her partner. But they're not giving up and see the Olympics as a great opportunity to confront Russian society. As one activist, Polina, says, "I would call on Games participants to come here and to do visible things in support of LGBT people. Only this way will we have a public discussion".

Ukraine War: Investigate Claim PM Intervened to Help Evgeny Lebedev Get Peerage, Says Starmer
BBC: Sir Keir Starmer has called for a senior parliamentary committee to investigate claims Boris Johnson pushed for a Russian-born businessman to get a peerage, despite security concerns.
The Sunday Times reports the security services withdrew an assessment that giving Evgeny Lebedev an honour posed a security risk after the PM intervened.
The Labour leader said he was "very concerned" about the case.
However, Justice Secretary Dominic Raab insisted there was no "impropriety".
Speaking to the BBC's Sunday Morning programme, Mr Raab said: "There is a very strict and stringent process when anyone is granted a peerage".
He added that the rules around the honours process were "applied very rigorously in this case."
"This was done properly and correctly and we have procedures and systems in place to make sure it is." » | BBC | Sunday, March 6, 2022

Warlord Who Helped Oversee Chechnya’s Brutal ‘Gay Purge’ Killed in Ukraine
PINK NEWS: Magomed Tushayev, one of the leaders behind the horrific “gay purge” in Chechnya, has been killed in Ukraine.
Tushayev was a top advisor and military commander for Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, and helped oversee a brutal so-called “purge” of LGBT+ people in the region since at least 2017.
He was reportedly killed while heading up the 141 motorised regiment of the Chechnya National Guard on Saturday (26 February), the Ukrainian news agency the Kyiv Independent reported.

France Accuses UK of ‘Lack of Humanity’ over Ukrainian Refugees
THE GUARDIAN: French interior minister writes to Priti Patel urging government to set up proper consular services in Calais
France’s interior minister has accused the British government of showing a “lack of humanity” when it comes to helping the Ukrainian refugees who have fled the Russian invasion and are now waiting in Calais for permission to join their families in the UK.
Hundreds of Ukrainians have come to the northern French port in the last few days in the hope of crossing the Channel so they can be with relatives who are already established in the UK.
According to the French interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, 400 Ukrainian refugees have presented themselves at Calais border crossings in recent days – only for 150 of them to be told to go away and obtain visas at UK consulates in Paris or Brussels.
In a letter to the UK home secretary, Priti Patel, Darmanin called on the British government to set up a proper consular service in Calais, adding that its response so far was “completely unsuitable” and showed a “lack of humanity“ towards refugees who were often “in distress”. » | Sam Jones, Amelia Gentleman and Aubrey Allegretti | Sunday, March 6, 2022

The War in Ukraine Holds a Warning for the World Order
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The multinational response shows that liberalism has some life left. But the challenges posed by waning U.S. power and rising authoritarianism remain formidable.
The liberal world order has been on life support for a while. President Biden, in his inaugural address, called democracy “fragile.” President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia said two years ago that “the liberal idea” had “outlived its purpose,” while China’s leader, Xi Jinping, has extolled the strength of an all-powerful state and, as he put it last March, “self-confidence in our system.”
The multinational response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has shown that the demise of the global postwar rules-based order may not be inevitable. A month ago, no one predicted that Germany would reverse decades of military hesitancy and pour 100 billion euros into its defense budget, or that Switzerland would freeze the assets of Russian oligarchs, or that YouTube, World Cup soccer and global energy companies would all cut ties to Russia.
But the reappearance of war in Europe is also an omen. With toddlers sheltering in subway tunnels, and nuclear power plants under threat, it is a global air raid siren — a warning that the American-led system of internationalism needs to get itself back into gear, for the war at hand and for the struggle against authoritarianism to come. » | Damien Cave | Friday, March 4, 2022

FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Kritiker werfen dem russischen Präsidenten eine Sakralisierung seiner Politik vor. Bei seinem Angriff auf die Ukraine spielt die russisch-orthodoxe Kirche eine Schlüsselrolle
Gut siebentausend russische Wissenschaftler haben in einem Auf¬ruf gegen den von Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin befohlenen Angriff auf die Ukraine pro-testiert und ihr Land als „militärischen Ag¬gressor“ und „Schurkenstaat“ kritisiert. Der politischen Führung in Moskau haben sie „historiosophische Fantasien“ vor-geworfen. Sie schmähten damit nicht nur das aus ihrer Sicht imperiale Gebaren eines Autokraten, der eine nationale Mission zu erfüllen glaubt, sondern auch die Sakra-lisierung der russischen Politik in den zu¬rückliegenden beiden Jahrzehnten.
Putin selbst sieht sich im Dienste einer na¬tio¬nalen Mission und will verlorenes Terri-torium zurückholen. Das ist ein Narrativ, das den Zaren ebenso diente wie Katharina II., die damit die Teilung Polens rechtfer¬tigte. » | Von Heike Schmoll, Politische Korrespondentin in Berlin, zuständig für die „Bildungswelten“. | Samstag, 5.

Defiant Putin Warns the West: Your Sanctions Are Akin to an Act of War
THE OBSERVER: Ukraine told: your statehood is in doubt as Russian bombs end ceasefire in Mariupol
Vladimir Putin delivered a chilling warning to the west over the imposition of sanctions on Russia on Saturday, warning that measures designed to cripple his country’s economy were “akin to an act of war”.
In comments that were both defiant and threatening, the Russian president also told Ukraine’s leaders that their nation risked being dismantled as an independent sovereign state if they continued to resist Russia’s invasion.
“The current leadership needs to understand that if they continue doing what they are doing, they risk the future of Ukrainian statehood,” Putin said. “If that happens they will have to be blamed for that.”
His intervention, in which he hinted the conflict could soon spread beyond Ukraine unless the west changed course, came as Moscow broke a ceasefire agreement to allow Ukrainian civilians to flee after 10 days of bombing and devastation.
Later, Russia’s foreign ministry followed up Putin’s warning by specifically singling out the UK for what it called “sanctions hysteria” and its prominent role in supporting Ukraine. Maria Zakharova, the foreign ministry spokeswoman, said Russia would not forget the UK’s cooperation with Kyiv. » | Toby Helm, Luke Harding in Lviv, Daniel Boffey in Brussels & Julian Borger in Washington | Saturday, March 5, 2022

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The Russian leader escalated his threats as Ukrainian forces continued to resist. Protests broke out in the first major city captured by Russia. A limited cease-fire collapsed in a besieged city. Israel’s prime minister visits Moscow.
LVIV, Ukraine — As his troops continued to run into stiff resistance in Ukraine, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia delivered an ominous message to Ukrainians on Saturday, telling government leaders they might lose their statehood and likening the withering sanctions imposed on his country to a “declaration of war.”

Russian Investment in Brexit and the Tories Now Paying Off
A Message from a Russian LGBT+ Activist
OPEN DEMOCRACY – OPINION: We can’t stop this war, started by our own government, but we can express our solidarity and support for Ukraine and all its people
‘Love is stronger than war’ reads the banner at a May Day demonstration in St Petersburg, 2014 | Andrey Pronin / ZUMA Press, Inc. / Alamy Stock Photo. All rights reserved
Working in human rights in Russia can give one a misleading sense of invincibility. Despite the dehumanising legislation and fact that the government sees enemies in its own citizens, human rights activists have learned to adapt and persevere. This is especially true for Russian LGBT+ activists, who grapple not only with legitimised state homophobia, but considerable social stigma. And yet nothing could have prepared us for what happened on the morning of 24 February, when our country invaded Ukraine.
Ironically, I had never felt more Russian than I did in that moment. The immediate reaction is to dissociate yourself from it. The government’s actions are appalling, violence is never the answer, and we, as the Russian people, obviously did not choose this. This is not our war. Right?
But it is impossible to escape the thought that, somehow, you have let the unforgivable happen right under your nose; that right now, on the other side of the Ukrainian border, people are fleeing their homes and fearing for their lives because of troops carrying your flag. The helplessness that comes with that realisation is too overwhelming to bear. Slogans, petitions and statements » | Diane Garshina | Friday, March 4, 2022

Michael Lambert: Patel Lets Desperate Ukrainians Know They Are Not Welcome in the UK
Mar 5, 2022 • Whilst the whole world looks on in horror at the terrible events happening in Ukraine, the UK Home Secretary, Priti Patel, the daughter of immigrants, does everything possible to make it difficult for desperate refugees to come to the UK. Her first reaction was to make it clear that any refugees wanting to come to the UK would have to subject themselves to our new points-based immigration system involving lengthy bureaucracy including testing for English proficiency and general knowledge about the UK.
Whilst other countries all over Europe were abandoning all controls for these desperate people, Patel went to the Commons and announced that certain people might be permitted to come to the UK, but only if they could prove they had very close relatives in the UK. In the meantime, one of her ministers, Kevin Foster, announced that the refugees could apply to come to the UK to pick fruit!
Under Pate,l the government's immigration is in chaos. Following Brexit, whole families are coming to the UK from the Third World to replace individual former EU nurses, and others. Furthermore, money launderers operate with impunity and many others are able to employ workers for cash-in-hand and make no payments to the Pat-As-You-Earn scheme( PAYE) or make any National Insurance contributions (NIC.)
Applicants for asylum or British nationality are kept waiting for up to ten years or more whilst being told they are not permitted to work.

Volodymyr Zelensky’s Home Town’s Blunt Message: ‘Welcome to Hell, Russians’
THE TIMES: Ukrainians are ready to die for their country and their president
The blunt message was scrawled across a banner on a bridge over the entry road to Kryvyi Rih, the mining city whose most famous son, once a stand-up comedian, now leads his country in war. “Welcome to Hell, Russian Occupant”, it said.
As they toil in preparation for street battles with the Russian troops pushing northward, erecting barricades and digging trenches and tank traps, every man and woman here expresses their respect for President Zelensky and their readiness to fight for him. » | Anthony Loyd in Kryvyi Rih | Friday March 4, 2022

Von allen guten Geistern verlassen: Europas mächtigster Verleger schreibt den dritten Weltkrieg herbei
NEUE ZÜRCHER ZEITUNG: Die Nato müsse sofort militärisch in der Ukraine eingreifen, fordert Mathias Döpfner, der Vorstandschef von Axel Springer. Nur so könne man die freie Welt retten. Wehrhaft? Nein, Wahnsinn.
Es ist ein publizistisches Spiel nicht nur mit dem Feuer, sondern mit dem Weltenbrand. Europas mächtigster Verleger Mathias Döpfner hat den Westen vom Schreibtisch aus aufgefordert, direkt in der Ukraine einzugreifen: «Die Nato muss jetzt handeln», schreibt der Vorstandsvorsitzende von Axel Springer – und nimmt damit sehenden Auges in letzter Konsequenz den dritten Weltkrieg in Kauf. Im deutschsprachigen Journalismus dürfte er damit einen neuen Massstab für gutgemeinte Verantwortungslosigkeit gesetzt haben. » | Oliver Maksan, Berlin | Freitag, 4. März 2022
Today, Ukraine Is Israel: We Implore Jews across the World to Come to Our Aid
THE TIMES OF ISRAEL – BLOG: President Zelensky's chief of staff writes for Times of Israel: Just as the Jews fell victim to Nazis, Ukrainians are falling victim to Russia’s efforts to commit acts of genocide
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky posts a video of himself and his team outside the presidential headquarters in Kyiv on February 25, 2022. The author is behind him on the right. (Screen capture/Twitter)
Putin says he’s coming to “de-nazify” Ukraine. Ukraine, with the third-largest Jewish population in Europe and the fifth-largest in the world. Ukraine, with a Jewish President and formerly a Jewish Prime Minister. Ukraine – the only country that was once part of the Soviet Union that can make these claims.
The history of the Jewish people in Ukraine is not new. It goes back to the time of Kyivan Rus’ at the turn of the 10th century. These early Jews gave rise to Hasidic Judaism, which today is practiced across Europe and in Israel and the United States. Uman, a city in Cherkasy Oblast in central Ukraine, is a pilgrimage site for Breslov Hasidic Jews that regularly attracts throngs of tourists.
Despite the vibrancy of the Jewish community in Ukraine, history has not always been peaceful for Ukraine’s Jews. Jews have long been targeted in Ukraine, as elsewhere in Europe, culminating in the mass atrocities of the Holocaust. The site of the Babyn Yar memorial in Kyiv is dedicated to the hallowed ground that claimed more than 30 thousand Jewish souls murdered by the Nazis. » | Andriy Yermak * | Friday, March 4, 2022

When Russians Preferred Kissing to Bombing!
Pariah Putin: Isolated and Angry? | To the Point
Mar 4, 2022 • Russian forces continue their advance on the Ukrainian capital Kiev and other key cities. The onslaught has had an unexpected side effect: Vladimir Putin’s war is uniting an often-divided world. In New York the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly condemned the brutal onslaught. A slew of companies have closed down operations in Russia or divested themselves of Russian-related holdings elsewhere. With harsh sanctions in place, Joe Biden says Putin is more isolated than ever before.

Guerre en Ukraine : Volodymyr Zelensky craint « l’apocalypse » en Europe si le monde « ne parvient pas à stopper » Vladimir Poutine
LE MONDE : Le président ukrainien appelle les alliés de son pays à « fermer le ciel » ou à livrer à Kiev des avions de combat. Il se redit prêt à des négociations sans conditions avec Moscou.
Volodymyr Zelensky, en conférence de presse à la résidence présidentielle du palais Mariinsky, à Kiev, le 3 mars 2022. LAURENT VAN DER STOCKT POUR « LE MONDE »
Volodymyr Zelensky, ces jours-ci l’homme le plus menacé de la planète, sourit. « La vie est comme elle est. Je suis vivant et le sentiment d’être important pour d’autres, c’est bien. Le moral est bon, l’équipe travaille, personne n’est parti. » Le dirigeant ukrainien, dont la chute ou l’assassinat est l’un des objectifs de guerre de Moscou, reconnaît être « un être humain comme un autre, qui a envie de vivre ». « Je pense tout le temps à la vie de nos soldats. Je pense aux membres de ma famille. En revanche, en tant que président, je n’ai pas le droit d’avoir peur pour moi-même. »
M. Zelensky est « président de guerre » depuis une semaine lorsqu’il rencontre pour la première fois, jeudi 3 mars, un groupe de journalistes internationaux, dont Le Monde, pour une conférence de presse restreinte. Son équipe a aménagé une salle anonyme et bunkérisée dans une aile du palais Mariinsky, la présidence ukrainienne, dans le centre-ville de Kiev. Comme lorsqu’il diffuse chaque jour des messages vidéo à l’attention de ses compatriotes, M. Zelensky tient à mettre en scène un chef d’Etat au travail dans son lieu habituel, ce qui ne veut évidemment pas dire qu’il y travaille ou y vive en permanence. » | Par Rémy Ourdan (Kiev, envoyé spécial) | vendredi 4 mars 2022

‘Enemy of Humankind’: Ex-Russian Oligarch Speaks Out about Putin
Tucker Carlson & Fox News' White Supremacy Crap Exposed
The Fox News Journalist Fact-checking Channel’s Pundits On Air over Ukraine
THE GUARDIAN: National security correspondent Jennifer Griffin has been brutally calling out the ‘distortions’ of Tucker Carlson and co
As Russia prepared to invade Ukraine, some hosts at the rightwing Fox News channel were passionately defending Vladimir Putin. Once Russian troops were in Ukraine, those same personalities, such as Tucker Carlson, swiftly began to blame Joe Biden for the invasion.
That will not have surprised regular viewers of Fox, but what has raised eyebrows is the way that the views of hosts such as Carlson, the crew at the morning show Fox & Friends, and the opinions of multiple Fox News guests have been corrected often in real time, by one of Fox News’ own journalists
Time and again over the past few days Jennifer Griffin, Fox News’ national security correspondent, has taken to the airwaves to directly contradict the messages of her colleagues and their guests. With video » | Adam Gabbatt | Friday, March 4, 2022

Der Präsident im T-Shirt, der alle beschämt
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Die Video-Botschaften eines unrasierten Staatspräsidenten im T-Shirt sind schon jetzt ikonisch. Doch Wolodymyr Selenskyj beschämt nicht nur seinen Gegner Putin, sondern auch uns.
„This is just like television, only you can see much further”, sagt Peter Sellers mit einem wunderbar schillernden Satz in Hal Ashbys politischer Satire „Willkommen, Mr. Chance“ (1979). Der Film erzählt, wie ein Gärtner nach einem langen Leben, das er ausschließlich im Garten einer Villa in Washington verbracht hat, zum ersten Mal seine Umgebung erlebt. Zum Staunen ist das zynische Polit-Biotop Washingtons auch sonst. Doch gerade seine völlige Weltfremdheit erlaubt es Chancey Gardner, unbeschadet das Gestrüpp einer machtbesessenen Umgebung zu durchschreiten und am Ende zum US-Präsidenten aufzusteigen. Ein Amt, das er mit demselben milden Lächeln annimmt wie eine Tasse Tee.
Bis vor ein paar Monaten hätte man auch in Wolodymyr Selenskyjs Geschichte noch den Spin-off einer genialen amerikanischen Drehbuchidee sehen können. Nein, Ronald Reagan ist für den heutigen Präsidenten der Ukraine kein angemessener Vergleich; Reagan war acht Jahre lang Gouverneur von Kalifornien, bevor er nach dem höchsten Amt im Staate griff, er durfte in Ruhe lernen, wenngleich er aus dem Vorwurf des Schauspielerhaften schon früh Profit schlug. Von einem Journalisten 1966 ge¬fragt, wie er sich wohl an der Spitze des Bundesstaates Kalifornien behaupten werde, sagte der Hauptdarsteller des Schimpansen-Films „Bedtime for Bonzo“ gewitzt: „Keine Ahnung, einen Gouverneur habe ich noch nie gespielt.“ » | Von Paul Ingendaay, Europa-Korrespondent des Feuilletons in Berlin. | Freitag, 4.

Guerre en Ukraine : Volodymyr Zelensky a survécu à trois tentatives d'assassinat, selon le Times
LE FIGARO : Le président ukrainien serait directement menacé par des troupes tchétchènes et des mercenaires du groupe Wagner, rapporte le quotidien britannique.
Alors que l'offensive russe s'abat sur Kiev, le président ukrainien a échappé à trois tentatives d'assassinat cette dernière semaine, selon une information du Times . Mué en chef de guerre, à la tête d'un pays qui défend son territoire pied à pied, Volodymyr Zelensky est devenu pour le Kremlin l'homme à abattre.
Deux groupes armés en auraient la mission. Premièrement, des Tchétchènes envoyés par Ramzan Kadyrov auraient été mandatés pour tuer le président ukrainien. Vêtus de noir et armés jusqu'aux dents, ces hommes que l'on appelle aussi les «kadyrovtsy», en hommage à la dévotion qu'ils portent à leur chef, sont près de 12.000 à avoir rejoint l'offensive pour la «dénazification» de l'Ukraine, selon l'expression de Vladimir Poutine. Une première tentative aurait été déjouée samedi dernier dans la banlieue de Kiev, avant qu'ils n'aient pu atteindre le président ukrainien. » | Par Marie-Liévine Michalik | vendredi 4 mars 2022
Comprendre la menace de l’arme nucléaire en 10 questions
LE MONDE : Dès le début de la guerre en Ukraine, Vladimir Poutine a brandi la menace nucléaire. Présentée habituellement comme une arme de dissuasion, son utilisation aurait des conséquences désastreuses.
Trois jours après le début de l’invasion de l’Ukraine, le président russe Vladimir Poutine a menacé de faire usage de l’arme nucléaire. A ce jour, neuf pays en sont dotés. Alors qu’elle est surtout considérée comme une arme de dissuasion, son utilisation dans un conflit généralisé aurait des conséquences désastreuses, non seulement pour l’humanité, mais aussi pour la vie sur Terre. En dix questions, nous vous livrons les principales clefs pour en comprendre les enjeux. » | Par Maxime Ferrer et Raphaëlle Aubert | vendredi 4 mars 2022

The End of a Superpower - The Collapse of the Soviet Union | DW Documentary
Mar 3, 2022 • Russian President Vladimir Putin described the collapse of the Soviet Union as "the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century." This documentary from 2021 shows the path Russian foreign policy has followed under Putin.
On December 25, 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed. Along with it came hope for the end of the Cold War, for independence and freedom for the former Soviet republics. But for many it also brought poverty and war. What remains of the dreams of that time? The documentary includes contemporary witnesses and politicians of the decisive years and shows what has become of the legacy of a world power.
[This documentary was originally released in 2021. In February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine.]
