  • It's been a life-long interest, in spite of the cold, corruption and, sometimes, chaos. But Russia is a crucial player in the world and Jill Dougherty explains why.
    Jill Dougherty is CNN's Foreign Affairs Correspondent and an expert on Russia, having spent nine years as CNN's Moscow Bureau Chief.
    She began studying the Russian language as a freshman in high school and has lived, worked and reported from Russia, traveling throughout the country. In this talk she explains what makes Russia tick - for her - and why you should care about Russia.
    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Джилл - красавица! Как бы я хотел, чтобы в России было больше журналистов, которые рассказывали бы русским об Америке с таким же уважением, знанием истории и культуры, как она рассказывает американцам о России. Спасибо! Удачи Вам!
    I wish there were more Russian journalists who’d tell Russians about the US with the same love, respect, knowledge of culture and history as she tells Americans about Russia. Many thanks to Jill! May power be with her!

    Well, I don't know what happened since and how you feel about Russia today (I don't mean RT), it's been a lot of water under the bridge... So many years working for the white house, so many years working for the CIA (the voice of America is part of it) and so many years working for Hillary Clinton may not be the easiest path to understanding Russia and the Russians but I hope you made the right choice and had things your way. Most of all I hope you can translate this experience into something that brings people together instead of pouring extra oil on the flame, we've been there before. It's easier to look at the differences than focus on what human beings have in common. Now a simple way to know what's best for humanity and each one of us is to remember those graves in St. Petersburg and ask yourself this question : why did it happen, could it happen elsewhere, could it happen again, could it be worse and what can I do to avoid it? I think the key to it is to get to know each other and understand each other. As Plato famously said : ignorance is the root and stem of all evil.

      Aleksandr Wostrikow пока только что-то никто не возвращаетсся. Наоборот, все в ЕС и США лыжи мастырят, особенно чиновники и бизнесмены

    И этой блокады и стольких смертей в Ленинграде не было бы, если б Сталин эвакуировал город. Но он оставил людей в заложниках, чтоб город имени Ленина не был захвачен. Так же и со Сталинградом - огромная часть жителей была оставлена в городе даже во время боёв, когда от зданий вообще ничего не осталось, кроме подвалов.

      Был запрет на эвакуацию семей партийных руководителей, а гражданских вывезли 400+ тысяч. Не повторяйте пропаганду.

      Между утверждением "в городе остались гражданские" и "Сталин оставил людей в заложниках" - пропасть. У вас есть доказательства, что Сталин СПЕЦИАЛЬНО оставил людей в городе? Приказы, обсуждения на высшем уровне этого вопроса? Нет? Тогда это ваши "хотелки", чтобы так было. И не надо делить жизнь и людей, и их действия всегда на черно-белое. И выдумывать вранье, выдавая его за правду.

    Sure, russians, especially the common folk, deserve pity for what happened in WW2. Far more russians died than anyone else, including jews. But if they had a good, industrialized farming system in place, as stalin promised, they wouldn't have starved. They could have brought in plenty of food from the east.

      People starved in Leningrad because of blockage by German armies. Not because there are no food in Russia. It was impossible to deliver food in the city.
