Петр Толстой - о мигрантах, предателях, ЕГЭ и Жириновском | Николаев Расскажет

Our guest is Pyotr Olegovich Tolstoy, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma. The conversation was tough and, at times, uncomfortable. We discussed migration and why many problems commonly attributed to external causes actually begin within ourselves. We also discussed the different views on history in Russia and the former Soviet Union, the future of relations in the post-Soviet space, and why issues of national identity are becoming increasingly important. A separate section of the conversation is devoted to education. Why has the teaching profession lost its former status? What's wrong with modern schools? Are changes needed in the education system, and what should be the education of future generations? We also discuss the 1990s, people who left the country, changing athletic citizenship for the sake of a career, and why some decisions made decades ago continue to influence Russia today. The finale features memories of Vladimir Zhirinovsky, his political legacy, and a discussion of why directness and toughness in politics are sometimes more in demand than diplomacy. 00:29 The episode's hero is Pyotr Olegovich Tolstoy 01:00 About migrants and diseases 01:58 Can we do without migrants? 07:49 We are to blame for many problems 10:08 Organized recruitment of migrants 12:14 The difference in understanding of history between Russia and the CIS countries 16:03 Armenia's aspirations to join the EU 21:40 Changes in sports citizenship 29:52 The return of fugitive cultural figures 34:07 The status of teachers 39:24 About segregated education 47:35 Attitudes to the 1990s 49:31 About Vladimir Zhirinovsky 52:56 The brutal rhetoric of Pyotr Tolstoy
