Description

Last week, the third and final episode of "Traitors" was released – the FBK series about who and why brought Putin to power in the late 90s. The controversy surrounding this series continues. Live on air, Maria Pevchikh, author of the series "Traitors," and Mikhail Zygar, author of the book about the 1996 elections "Everyone is Free," discuss the series and the Yeltsin era. Is it even worth talking about the 90s now? The word "Traitors" in the title - isn't that too strong? What will be the consequences of the series? Is it a political struggle or a court of history? Who should now be "cancelled" and who should be considered "untouchable"? What sources did the authors of the series use and can they be trusted? Finally, what should have been done differently in the 90s? Lustration, privatization, the constitution. Is it possible to take into account the mistakes of the 90s and not repeat them in the future? 00:00 — Introduction 01:43 — Why such a pompous name — “Traitors” 08:03 — The style of the series repeats propaganda programs — is this true? Was this done intentionally? 11:55 — What did Maria want to achieve with this series? Who should be unshakable? Who should be cancelled? 15:30 — Does a person have the right to make a mistake? Is Khodorkovsky, who spent 10 years in prison and went over to the opposition, also a traitor? 22:05 — Why so many people were hurt by the series 25:19 — Does Maria have personal trauma from the 90s? Is it possible to understand what people went through in the 90s without experiencing it yourself? 27:05 - How does Maria feel about offensive comments, both "for" the series and criticizing the film? 29:19 — Is it possible to allow Chubais to manage anything in post-Putin Russia? 31:06 — Does it make sense to talk about the 90s now? Isn't it too early? 34:30 — How would it be correct to conduct privatization? 43:27 — Why is the war in Chechnya only briefly mentioned in the series? What would be the right thing to do in a situation where one of the republics is going to secede from Russia? 48:08 — What to do if there is a risk of victory of a hypothetical Strelkov-Girkin in democratic elections 54:37 — Is Maria happy with the views of the series — it did not repeat the success of “Putin’s Palace” 59:50 - What references were not given in the series? Or were there? 1:05:15 - What will the sequel to "Traitors" be about?
