Just started watching it myself, decent interview, it's actually good, even though he backtracks a lot of what he's said about Russia and Putin, but it's a good way to know where he stands with most issues.
I'd recommend it, I'm about halfway done with it.
Re this interview.
Yeah, interesting interview, although only 2 hours in. It also can be seen very much through the lens of western minds, albeit Friedman speaks Russian.
Both guys seemed stumped on the discourse of why were the words denazification used to describe what is wanted from what is happening i.e., people in the west think it strange, like how do you have peace negotiations based on, we want denazification.
Can see their point (for western observers stuck on what they think is Nazi), however what it means to Russians (Polish et al.) has a different meaning. Their understanding might (might) simply be that there is a neo-nazis regime that has forced itself, with western backing, to reemerge as ideology. To take at all costs, reanimated by 'operatives,' oligarchs, puppeets and the western Intel/NATO or not, military/industrial/biological/banking complex.
Maybe there are better words within Russia to describe what it is they mean, yet in essence, perhaps it is the merging of corporate/state interests with thugs/murderers to do their bidding while robbing everyone blind. Nazi Germany never had a chance without the merging of I.G. Farben, Standard Oil, IBM and on and on that goes, with a controlling pathology leader to rule.
