- EXTENDED INTERVIEW: A former KGB top boss says he watched Russian President Vladimir Putin rise the ranks from “a nothing” in the KGB who reported to him to the leader of the country and a “war criminal.”
In an exclusive interview with NewsNation’s Kellie Meyer, Oleg Kalugin talks of Putin’s mindset and motivations behind the war in Ukraine and why the United States and other allies should not take his threats of nuclear attacks lightly.

Stunned to see comments here by some who question the authenticity of this agent; those questioning must be youngsters. The agent has to be pushing 90 if not already; nobody is going to up and start playing a role at that age. His insights are genuine. Any of us who have lived 6 - 7 - 8 decades on the planet know genuine when we see it. Very interesting interview. Thank you.
Youngsters haven't experienced any kind of war except the war of trying to get their guardians to drive them to prom because they think they don't need a DL. Agree with your comments.
But who funds "NewsNation"? Get alot of "404" errors when checking their website.
Their not "young kids"
Their Russian bots and shills spewing Putin's propaganda
Oleg Kalugin. He's indeed 87 years old.
I've seen him in many documentaries, he knows exactly what he's talking about.
One of his best appearances was in the must watch documentary "1983 The Brink Of Apocalypse" from 2007.
Now at 87 he's drifting a bit into past times while talking as oldtimers usually do and he's sometimes searching for words, but his wisdom and experience are just incredible.
Again, he knows exactly what he's talking about.
@@flamboone9727 misinformation. It's a massive company controlled by Perry Sook, it leans right-of-centre. No way the typical person is getting 404 errors looking it up, besides, 60% of USA gets their signals or programming.
For anyone who questions the integrity of this guy it would do you well to know who he is what he's done and where he's been while in the Soviet Union AND after he defected to the United States.. Oleg is one of the few real deals that's still alive to tell the story..
The problem is leaving Russia to go to the US, is like leaving Lucifer to go to Satan. Soljenitsin after spending many years in the US, went back to Russia to spend his last days in his own land. Russia is evil, the US is no better.
That is exactly what I thought already, that putin wants to be remebered as the man who was able to get Ukrain back again. Hopefully he doesnt succeed and will he only be remembered as a cruel, criminal looser in the end...
He’s going to end up like Hitler. Poisoned or suicide. Either way. He’s a dead man walking. No turning back. RIP Putin.
@Augusto Helmer What empire? Lol 😂 His delusional. China is the new empire. You build your empire by enriching your people. Not by have them live in poor conditions.
@Augusto Helmer AFAIK, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Obama and Biden did not come from privileged backgrounds. That is nine of the last 14 Presidencies. Of the other five, the two Bushes and Trump did. Not sure about Ford and Carter. Of these 10 Presidents Nixon, Reagan and Bush I were good but IMHO it has been downhill over the last 30 years.
Too bad lol
That he will be
Great interview. Excellent insight by the KGB boss💯 thank you
Thank you for this.
This man is a living history!
Kalugin is an ordinary traitor
Cant believe this guys still alive..
Putin takes care of himself
Means kgb is not evil as they say. The cia is.
this was very interesting. thank you.
wife & daughters left him?, starting to all make sense now!.
This man knows what he talks about. USA should take a stronger position if it wants Ukraine to last.
The USA already took a stronger position. Russia for 25 years was warning about NATO expansion but nobody listened. Putin drew a red line in his Munich 2007 speech but again we ignored him. We have missiles in Poland and Romania. If Ukraine joined NATO as was being planned, we'd likely have missiles in Ukraine. Missiles in Ukraine would have a 10 minute flight time to Moscow. Do you not see the problem there? When the USSR deployed missile to Cuba, 90 miles off the coast of the USA, we threatened World War 3. That was the Cuban missile crisis. Now, we want to deploy military infrastructure all around Russia's borders and we expect Russia not to react? Make that make sense.
Like Putin said, European security cannot come at the expense of Russian security. In 2014, the USA supported a violent coup that ousted the duly elected Viktor Yanukovych and we installed a puppet - Petro Poroshenko, now succeeded by Zelensky, another puppet of ours. The Ukranian government has killed over 16000 civilians in the Donbass since 2014 but of course the western media will not cover that. Russia has been taking in refugees from the Donbass for some time now. All the while, the USA and its EU counterparts stayed silent as Ukraine kept violating the Minsk agreement. 16000 civilians dead and not a squeak from the moral police of the world, the USA.
Make no mistake. This war could have been avoided but we pushed Putin against the wall and told him to do something about it. He did.
@@nelsonking This is total nonsense, some of your facts are wrong on numerous counts. Zelensky is not a puppet, he’s the legitimate elected leader of Ukraine. It wasn’t a violent coup that ousted Victor Yanukovich, the people forced him out after he rejected a trade deal with the EU countries. It was Russia that kept prolonging the war in the Donbass region, rather than make a more concerted effort to find a negotiated settlement. If Putin really cares about his own people than why didn’t he try to stop acting like an authoritarian leader, and give his people a more transparent form of government? Putin could’ve chosen to develop his economy and to try to give his people a better future instead of longing for the old Russian Empire. Perhaps he should’ve tried to be a leader who didn’t try to stay in power so long, and not become a Tzar in all but name? Even China’s leaders don’t remain in power for as long as Putin has. Even if Putin does have some grievances it doesn’t excuse his numerous heinous actions against people who disagree with him and the Ukrainians. Putin could’ve done better, instead he chose autocracy and corruption.
@@nelsonking what a load of horseshite. This was a valid excuse conveniently used to justify renewed imperialism
@@jmwilliamsart you still idiot never learning when you country use zelensky becomes puppet you always justify it, you still idiot and never smart i guess
@@jmwilliamsart There is no democracy in the United States, look at what they did to Snowden and Assange.

Fascinating interview.
I've seen so many people now saying the exact same thing, that the western leaders must take a stronger position and don't fall for Russias threats.
Exactly and apparently the more "they know the enemy" and the more this is what there are saying
@@MP-wb5yd For sure, it's enough to watch a few documentaries to know what you're up against. I feel sick thinking about it, sheer terror.
That's why I say nuke them now fast and hard no mercy..they dropped bomb on blks why not them
Good advice! The West should take a stronger position and plunge into Armageddon.
@@Brandespada czcams.com/video/kYhsloRid_c/video.html
Thank you for a insightful discussion and sharing of knowledge.....
Great Interview.
I didn't know that Putin was gay until now.
So closet gay Putin had wife to get ahead in KGB
@@glike2 A lot of Hollywood actors in the middle of the 20th century had fake affairs and marriages to comply with the studios wanting to keep it a secret that they were gay. A former Gov of NJ got married too, but later resigned and confessed that he's always been gay and felt free to finally come out of the closet.
Putin should just come out of the closet already and be able to purge himself of the pent up anxiety that people are going to find out.
The world already knows, why is he still trying to hide it? He's not fooling anyone.
I've said that from the beginning the west should have gone in to Ukraine straight away
Yeh, me too. We still should.
@@krisvq sure nuclear war would be groovy 🤦♀️
@@krisvq yeah, you would be glowing in the dark by now .
@@michellebrown4903 so too would Russia
I agree! I don’t really want to live if one small man dictates what the world can and cannot accept.
Thank you for this contribution to us all. Be careful and keep yourself safe.
I never pass up a chance to listen to this man - he always struck me as someone who understood the game, and he saw things in terms of one planet's fate, rather than the further separated, categorized and partisan teams.
Is The World Really Now Awake- To The Atrocities Leaders Can & Are Committing
I listened to the entire interview and I didn't hear anything concerning the title.
Click bait more than likely. I listen to a lot of videos that don't have anything to do with the title of the video.🙄
" Make Russia Great Again " , sounds familiar.
America can become as great as Russia is now, if Trump gets to continue his political career.
@@michellebrown4903 Maybe you’re missing the irony. 🤪🇺🇦
@@Mark1526374859 ah ,maybe you're right. Phew . Owe Riitta an apology . I have been conversing with some seriously thick people on this platform ,and that passed me by.
@@michellebrown4903 Hee hee. Don't worry. I'm sure she'd be delighted to hear from you. xxx
Great interview, but the sound operator could have done a better job - I can barely hear the guy, but when she speaks my ears are blasting.
Exactly what I thought.
"Do you think Putin has spies in the US?" Naaahhhhhh
Yes they are weak ,but oligarchs they did some damage to usa uk NATO country's europe
@@labinotberisha310 russia is third world country now, US and its allies are too big to be damaged. How about total damage to iraq, syria, afghanistan, chechnya, georgia,... by CIA?
Judith Butler, Linda Sarsour, Noam chomsky...
It's great she lets him talk.
I appreciate these former Russian agents sharing their knowledge/experiences.
Dear God please deliver the Ukrainians (and the World) from this evil Russian Dictator! Ukrainians are bravest people on the planet.
Kalugin is an ordinary traitor and you will never defeat Russia because you are cowards. Russia has been proving its power and greatness throughout its history.
What was the comment about the guy who knew secrets about Putin’s private life? It sounded like he suggested Putin didn’t like women…so he’s gay? Is this all the anger of a repressed man in the closet?
It sounded that way to me.
Yes
So closet gay Putin had wife to get ahead in KGB
Get 💩tin a lover might help things.
@Reader Stuff it’s relevant only because Putin poisons people to keep it secret. So it’s his Achilles heel for him and he would lose his reputation as a macho man. Imagine how his fans in the GOP (trump especially) would react if they found out Putin wasn’t so macho conservative after all.
Great information and a great interviewer.
Viva Ukraine!!! Viva Zelenski!!!
Well articulated by Mr. Oleg.
The journalist looks bored. lol 😂
Agree. She seemed annoyed because her questions weren’t getting a direct response. I mean, this man must be late 80s - of course he was gong to talk out his history
@@shellb3487 Americans are ignorant of world history. History is important as a context to important questions regarding the War in Ukraine, Putin's response and the Russian perspective.
The interviewer is clueless
This is gold. 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Wow
In the 1930's the pickup line was "I'm working for world peace, will you help me?"
When Kim Philby was in a language school one of the other students told him
in confidence, "I think you and I are the only ones here who aren't spies."
Guy Burgess believe it or not recruited Philby.. but Arnold Deutsch handled the Cambridge 5 .. and your pretty much correct on the world peace thing.. actually the pickup line was do you want to fight fascism which was the romantic way of saying do you want to commit treason against your country.. not many would bite.. but the truth is that when the Cambridge 5 realized that what they thought they were supporting WASN'T what they thought they were supporting.. by that time it was to late.. Philby never got to see the Fall of the Soviet Union as well as Burgess and McClean.. but one who did see the fall however not part of the Cambridge 5 was George Blake and he was very disappointed because he took it hook line and sinker after he escaped from prison.. but he was kept comfortable while he lived.. he was probably the most naive of the bunch.. he never could accept the fact that everyone he gave up was executed.. till the day he died
@@victorseger6044 Graham Greene in his preface (!) to Kim Philby's book My Silent War, actually discussd the treason question since Philby had changed sides was it treson?
Excellent interview
Surely he knows that Moscow will be leveled if he starts launching nukes.
The madman likely prefers fight to the death.
The last sentence was the most important one.
Old man doesnt realise his russian 'people' will be getting 20 potatoes a month for their salaries soon enough.
So rumors that Putin might not like women?
I think that in a roundabout way he was suggesting that Putin prefers sex with men over woman without actually coming out and outing him directly.
@@angelopugliese6034
Putin poisoned someone who suggested he’s gay. Well I reckon Putin is gay too. Being gay is not a bad thing but I imagine Putin thinks it is.
@@Mark1526374859 I agree that poisoning someone is what the bad thing is, not his sexual preference.
13:48 -14:19 ,,,,, "A classmate of Putin's. He knew something about Putin's personal life, that he was NOT INTERESTED IN WOMEN & HAD SOME OTHER INTERESTS that he talked about publicly. I called him from Russia in London. I told him, Alexander Litvinenko
you should not talk about Putin's private life. a few months later he was poisoned/murdered."
It should absolutely be ignored...when someone points a gun to your face you walk straight into it.
That"s s very hot intervieuwer! What was the intervieuw about?
9:10
That so telling about Putin
he has no family he his completely lonely.
The only thing I disagree about in his statement is that Bid knows what he is doing. But, then again he is a KGB man and knows how to remain safe.
This title implies that being a war criminal is a commendable place to be 😂
Poison...a woman's weapon.
You don't say?
JUST BE KIND
@@teresawilson9022 you don't know what "kind" is 👍👍
He definitely "inferred" that Putin might not be heterosexual.
People should really learn their history very sad
Apparently, since the Soviet times it was already known that this guy WAS A US ASSET.
We deescalate not ignoring but good one
Doesn’t Mr. Putin know that with a blink of an eye Russia can be disappeared from the map of the Earth and his lovely children and beautiful lover can turn into charcoals!????
He needs to support world peace!!!
He knows. 4 weeks ago he said we will all go to heaven. He also said we can't imagine a world without Russia.
They cross 11 time zones d head
🤪
We are waiting for that….can’t wait to see NATO n USA going down with the rest of us…NUCLEAR is the solution
What does he mean by Putin's classmate knew something about Putin that he was not interested in woman but he had some other interest.....🤔that he is interested in guys or something ???🤔
Horses... But I think maybe as he banned gays
He has eraction problems that"s why he likes his billions and the power.when the dick is not working you focus on other things
Putin has 8 inches he only gives to women
It means he wasn't interested in relationships.
It sounds like he's suggesting that Putin prefers men sexually over women, now it's making sense why his wife left him, maybe she found him in a compromising position with another man.
Perhaps you could do one on Blair Bush and Netanyahu next.
Who old is this interview? it looks like very old. .
13:45
Great interview! Thank you. Please do more about putin's past,present and future! Because Americans need to know about the history! Then explain WHY(trump & cronies)they would support him?!👽
If Trump can’t be loyal to his wives he can’t be loyal to his country.
If only use guys knew that Obama and Biden had bio weapon labs built in Ukraine. Like in wuhan. Russia is frightened to have those labs close to them.

Only the Russians can do something positive for themselves and for the rest of the world.
Why is he Kalugin I don't understand? 😐
Brilliant analysis of Putin
Incredible. He learned English so well that he has next to no accent. His gravely voice could easily be passed off as, a Mid-Western accent.
Internal counter intelligence.
if you buy NESTLE products.....you support russia.
If you breathe you support Russia. Since the wind has no frontiers.
Great contribution to civilisation indeed if we think of literature and music. But it has failed to provide prosperity despite its abundance of resources. Could it be due to a lack of freedom and democracy which its people have not enjoyed much of?
Very interesting, you can feel the depth of experience of that person, even though he probably have a great life in the US it should be quite depressing for him to see what his country has become. Russia has so many brillant people, what a tragedy
Stay there, cos they will never forget your betrayal
Good guest - bad interviewer.
I agree

Bunch of dribble

She has that face we've seen on a number of American news talk shows. I can't remember, maybe NBC, they sit around in armchairs and have news discussions , there was the weather man with his removable wig who looked like storm man Norman of gulf war1 . There was birthday calls for centenarians .

It amazes me. Comments on all utube doesn t change anything. We r wasting our time think of nothing that we can change.. but wasting our own time on hearing BS / corruption by all politicians.
this man a spy if my country i would hate him but now very important for information.
ROUGH TIMES AHEAD, WHAT DO WE DO? There is only one God, God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. One God, three parts. Humans have a soul, spirit and body. One person, three parts.
The Bible says that we are all sinners.
As it is written: There is none righteous no not one. Romans 3:10
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
But we are all as an unclean thing and all our righteousness are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6
For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23(the word “death” in this verse means eternal separation, from God in hell).
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.Isaiah 1:18
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and that He was buried and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures.1CORINTHIANS 15:3-8
In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:14
Jesus said unto her,I am the resurrection and the life: He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. John 11:25
For by grace ye are saved, through faith; and not of yourselves
it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galatians 2:21
If you would like to receive Jesus as your Savior. Realize that you are a hopeless sinner and tell Jesus that you trust in Him and only Him to save you.
The moment you trust in Jesus and only Jesus, you are saved.
After people get saved, they get baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
It isn’t a requirement for salvation, but it is something that God wants us to do after we are saved.
There are lots of people who don’t believe in your invisible friend. For two thousand years religious people have made money and killed innocent people for being different. I’m afraid you’ve been brainwashed. You certainly sound like you’re repeating a load of stuff that’s been planted in your mind over a long period.
Just saying.
Name names KGB anachronism.
