Oliver Stones "The Putin Interviews": Historic Documentary about Putin

Putin started to watch the docu now and tells us how it exactly came into being. And yes he admits that he fell asleep, but will watch the rest later. Notice that he sort of stays true to his alluding in the docu, that he is not a movie kind of guy and a lot of it is generally often "make believe". He is simply is to busy to watch a lot and he rather reads books and such instead I think. It starts at 01:45:

A change of tone and actions in sight?
It seems russias thread of patience is not endless. Putin just said this about the latest attempt of sanctions:

"As you know, our behavior is very restrained, patient, but at some point we will have to come up with a response. It is impossible to endlessly endure impudence towards our country,”

Further he said the new round of US sanctions against Russia is “extremely cynical”. If the US implements new sanctions against Russia, “it will be particularly regrettable because this would be an act of aggravation and exceptional cynicism,” Putin said. “It's an obvious attempt [by the US] to use its geopolitical advantages in the competitive struggle with the goal of ensuring its economic interests at the expense of its other allies,” he added.

Further:

According to Putin, the extraterritorial application of US legislation is unacceptable as it leads to the collapse of the system of international relations.

“As for the extraterritorial nature of the US legislation, I have been talking about this for a long time, starting from 2007… This practice is unacceptable, it destroys international relations and international law,” he said.

“We’ve never agreed to this and will never agree. As for how other states react to this, it depends on the degree of their sovereignty and their readiness to defend their own national interests,” Putin stressed.

The president warned that Moscow is already running out of patience with Washington’s “impudence.”

[...]

He said that Moscow “hasn’t yet seen the final version (of the US sanctions legislation), that’s why we don’t have a final opinion on the issue.”

“But we see that for a long period of time [there have been] constant attempts to provoke us,” the Russian leader added.

Putin added that, as with the expulsion of Russian diplomats from the US by the outgoing Obama administration, “the sanctions are illegal in terms of international law. They violate the principles of international trade and the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO).”

In the following video it becomes clear yet again that Putin has a good understanding on how to approach history and that you need to look at many sources to weigh them against each other to come closer to what actually happened in the past.

We know that Putin is a sort of hobby historian, who likes to educate himself not only about russias history but also the roman history for example.

In the following video he explained to people in a newly build military-science institute that it would be wise not just to look at the history book from Nikolay Mikhailovich Karamzin, since he has a pretty specific view of russias history and that other scholars disagree with him. So he makes the suggestion to them that they should read the works and sources of others too so that they can get a more accurate sense of what might have happened. I would bet that Putin is a better historian than a number of real historians out there who think they are good ones.

 
Putin, uncut, unfiltered in new book [video] - Fort Russ
Fischer-Verlag’s summary:
Much is said about Putin in the Western media. But Putin practically never gets published speaking for himself, and if he does, only in curtailed form. You may or may not like Putin, but you should know what Putin himself says about the most pressing issues of our time.

Thomas Röper has lived mostly in Russia since 1998, speaks fluent Russian and has put the Russian President Vladimir Putin himself in this book in extensive quotes.

See where Putin stands on the most pressing international issues, whether it be Syria, Ukraine, the worldwide refugee crisis, the relationship with Europe and Germany, or even freedom of the press.

Completely reading Putin’s statements instead of just reading summaries or out-of-context clippings gives an interesting view of the problems of the world today. The result is a relentless criticism of Western policy, when Putin names things with humor and sometimes with bitter earnestness, because – for good or ill – he is not a diplomat and finds very clear and unmistakable words.

Putin does not beat around the bush, and after reading this everyone can decide for himself how he relates to Putin’s theses.

But in order to make that decision, one must first know what Putin actually says and then think for one’s self. And whether you like his positions or not, one thing is undisputed: his positions have been unchanged for 18 years. See for yourself an unfiltered picture of what President Vladimir Putin stands for!

 
Five years late to the party, but I finally watched all 4 episodes of the interviews, and I congratulate Stone for a fine job. The contrast in intellectual capacity between Putin and western leaders was startling. He came across as a man of warmth, wit, knowledge and discipline. It's tragic to think that most people will never understand how they've been duped by propaganda coming from western media.

I strongly recommend watching this series of interviews for anyone eager to learn more about the man who has been so vilely misrepresented over the years. Five stars!
