The famous German journalist and publicist, former editor-in-chief of Stern magazine Peter Sholle Latur, has just published a book named Russia in a vise. Many still remember the 45-minute documentary of the German publicist, in which he predicted Russia's ambulance due to Muslim and Far Eastern separatism.
The author of the film and books also belongs to the modern international position of Russia and blames this in the United States and Europe. "After the reunification of Germany between Gorbachev, Yeltsin and Western partners, an agreement was reached that NATO would not advance east. Then the Russians did not be safe - and now the NATO summit is taking place in Riga. This is, of course, a provocation," Schoolli -Latures said in an interview with Der Tagesspiegel (full text - on the site - on the site - on the site - on the site Inopressa.ru ).
He called NATO “definitely” the Anti -Russian Union and stated that the American Pro in Poland systems are actually not aimed at North Korea and Iran, but to Russia. He described the present state of relations between Russia and Europe as the beginning of a new Cold War.
Recognizing that Putin is not a democrat at all, but a “former Chekist, Kagabashnik,” Sholle Latur believes that without strengthening the power vertical, Russia would have had a long time to fall apart. He also responded with understanding about Putin’s economic policy against Ukraine and Georgia, noting that “the Russians have no reason to ensure care and protection” who came to power for American money and seek NATO.
The German publicist believes that Europe is not beneficial to this state of affairs and that it is necessary to "say to the Americans:" No, we are not participating in this. "
As for economic cooperation with Russia, he noted that Europe has great opportunities for this. "If we approach this wisely, then you should not be afraid of some addiction: we can do it so that Russia also depends on us." Sholle-Latur also expressed hope for the successful completion of the project of the North European gas pipeline, calling Poland "unpredictable."
Regarding violations of human rights in Russia and the state of affairs in Chechnya, the German journalist advised to learn from the Chinese not to go into the internal affairs of another state. "The countries of other cultures should live their own lives - as well as engage in state construction on their own," he said.
Answering the questions of the murder of Anna Politkov and the mysterious death of the former Russian agent Litvinenko , the former editor -in -chief of Stern noted that the “unconditionally” Putin has nothing to do with the murder of a Russian journalist, and there is no reason for unrest in the death of Anna Litvinenko. "Other states also remove ammarrons agents. So the Americans, the British, the French do - only the Germans are an exception," the German publicist emphasized.
