- Our Spring 2017 group met with Vladimir Pozner in Moscow. Pozner has been Russia’s #1 TV Icon for over four decades. He is an independent thinker who is not a supporter of Putin, but at the same time he appreciates the role Putin has played in stabilizing the country since assuming Russia’s presidency in the year 2000. Pozner observes the ways in which Russia’s media is controlled, as well as the ways America’s media is controlled. For a totally honest appraisal of the politics and media of both countries, take the time to watch this piece.

Mr. Pozner is a voice of sanity in the Russian-American dialogue. Thank you for posting!
I'd take anything Pozner has to say with a grain of salt, you can take Pozner out of the Soviet Union, but I'm not sure you can take the KGB out of him.
Edwin, he was never in the KGB, you narrow-eyed american.
@@dickhamilton3517 Actually, he was. by his own admission Tiny brained moron.
@@dickhamilton3517 he was a propagandist for the KGB. He wasn't some secret operative who stole blueprints for spy planes and blew up key infrastructure.
@@emintey Not when truth is whatever the Left fascists say it is.
I could listen to him forever
A very good voice for radio, just spoke propaganda - is that voice an excuse for that? Probably not, but it was always better than Radio Tirana eh. I liked to try to listen to all sides
If only USA and Russia had someone like Pozner as a president at the same time. We would have a totally different world right now!
The longer I listen the more enthralling he becomes. This man knows so much and he is so damn honest. Where have all the smart folks gone? Nice to find one who is still among us.
I have followed Mr. Pozner since 1985. He is incisive, eloquent, and perennially controversial, an excellent journalist and speaker; has always been, and will continue to be, his own man. Thanks for the upload!!!!
He’s been a propagandist on the Soviet / Russian payroll since the 1960’s. You are so easily disinformed.
As a native english speaker can you tell me does Pozner have a bit of russian accent?
@@laughingtiger123 he never hides the fact and he was saying many times that he isn't proud of it at all
@@samirwafa8664 No, he doesn't have an accent.
Your name is not "Denise Simpson", your name is OLGA and you're a Muscovite troll!
Having worked in Russia as an English teacher I can appreciate how unimpressed Russians are with the double standard of American foreign policy.
The USA is the self appointed policeman of the world.
Do as I say, not as I do.
Listen carefully to Mr. Pozner. He spells out truths, especially historical, on both sides of the Cold War. We Americans should listen and heed the message. The Russian people are potentially our best allies. Pat Cloherty
As a native english speaker can you tell me does Pozner have a bit of russian accent?
@@samirwafa8664 He has no accent.
Excellent! Lots to think about especially in this very complicated world we live in today.!
This deserves more views!
Big respect! Real journalist, smart man, intelligent... I like to heard to him.
what about now? still respect him? He's been silent about Ukrainian war so far
As an American, It is so sad that Russian people think we, the people, do not respect them and think they are less than human :(. I have always had great respect for Russian people. They were heroes and have a lot to be proud of. My God, it is heart breaking to think of the horrendous losses they suffered in WW2. This is not the only reason why I respect and even love Russia. The problem now, from my point of view is the way Putin and others are exploiting anti-Americanism. Now we are really turning into enemies. Also, the stupidity of our allies are causing friction with Russia where it is totally unnecessary. After the Soviet union fell I had great hopes that The USA and Russia would be great friends. As an ordinary citizen it is painful to realize this will not happen in my life time. If you are Russian, I want you to know that we want to be friends and respect you guys. Maybe there has not been enough time for all the bad history between us to pass and stop effecting our attitudes. I hope that one day our children can be great friends, and we have blissful peace between us. This is my hope.
M K the problem is our fucked up government. When it's replaced, nothing will stand in the way of Russian-American friendship, believe me
The less agreeable ally is the strongest one. We have always been allies during really shitty times: Russia has supported Lincoln during the Civil war and made difference, the Americans have saved countless Russian lives during starvation of 1920's, not mentioning WWII. Of course we have tensions during peace time, because we both are BIG. Sadly, anti-American propaganda really makes its thing here in Russia, but what surprised me back then is when 9/11 happened, the entire front of American embassy was covered with flowers and people cried their eyes out. In spite of massive propaganda, in spite of Kosovo conflict, this was the real attitude of the Russians. God bless America.
this is my hope as well
it might take something miraculous as jesus appearing to achieve that goal because i don't see how our country can do that
Thank you, man! As a Russian, I appreciate your friendly attitude very much. But the root of the problem is that Russia is managed by mafia. That's the main cause why Russia cannot communicate with other countries well, and why other nations often disrespect Russia. Nobody is perfect and not only Russia behaves dishonestly, sometimes USA and their allies are not very honest as well. But in general, USA and European countries have decent people in their governments while Russian government is pure mafia, unfortunately. Just be aware of that when you are talking about Russia-USA relations.
As a russian I have to say. Vladimir Pozner is the best russian journalist!!!
bullshit
Agreed. Pozner is the man
Yuri Dyud is the best)
Total bullshit, Pozner is a cunt and a real one. Just send him back to US.
As a Russian I have to say you’re fucking idiot
It's a pleasure to listen to this man.
Rarely does someone this interesting come up on CZcams… or anywhere for that matter. Very happy I found Vladimir Pozner
I enjoy his talks, a voice of reason in a world full of people educated not to listen to reason, or the other side.
I'll be watching it ….one more time to make notes, THANK YOU
I always liked him. So glad to catch up on what he has been doing since he slipped away from U.S. media like all worthwhile journalists. Thanks.
As a Chinese, I admire and look up to this guy. Unfortunately Pozner‘s lack of Chinese views just as bad as most Americans can't care less about Russian's issues. Well, how many journalists could par up with Mr. Pozner mastering half dozen languages and insights, after all? BTW, his sudden smile looks like Gene Hackman.
He is so awesome!
THAT'S A REAL GENTLEMAN!!!
Mr. Pozner's wife calling in the middle of the sesh, telling him about the new restaurant with tasty Georgian dumplings they absolutely need to go to is the sweetest thing ever. This is so Russian - to answer your wife's call anywhere you are regardless of what you do :)
Thank you Mr Vladimir
Met him at the UCSD Chancellor's house shortly after his remarkable book, "Parting With Illusions" was published. I found him to be honest and straightforward in real life, as he is in this interview,
It's probably will be sad for you that Pozner is in fact - KGB propagandist. Him along with Maria Butina (recently sentences on engaging conspiracy) are hired by Putin's friends.
INTERESTING
Очень интересно
This was a very great talk! Who are these journalists who went to Russia and where can we see some sort of update about it?
I'd start by looking up the organisation, the name in the channel itself
Звонок жены: "Вова?". Милота.
Было интересно послушать. По телеку эти темы он открыто не обсуждает. Не знаю, правда всё это или нет, но то, КАК он говорит: интонация, артистизм, примеры всегда в тему. Я просто не могу оторваться!
Надежда мой компас земной а удача награда за смеелость
Pozner changes lives to the best. You don't even imagine Mr Pozner how much you influenced my life, the life of someone living in a tiny, remote post - Soviet town.
Which town and how did he change u ?
GREAT,GREAT,MAN
his last comments about georgians made my day really inspirational
I want to have dinner with Stalin and have him compliment me constantly, that would be an experience.
This is a very interesting video, but i'm curious why all videos with Vladimir Pozner on youtube are exactly alike? The same words, the same themes, the same all...
Vladimir I used to listen to you for years on radio soviet time, I thought you were the best radio reporter to promote and defend the principles of the communist party!!
Media can / must be utilized to heal people
ахаха, хинкальная напротив )))
It is not Open Newspaper, it is called a New Newspaper, and it's editor just got a Nobel Prize
The more satan tries to divide us the more we need to befriend love each other
We only reach out true potential if we are free to seek/ speak the truth
Fascinating guy
So, Mr. Pozner which country are you a patriot of (you just mentioned in this interview that a journalist must be a patriot of His/Her country)?
Nope he said journalist should report the truth even if he goes to jail for exposing top secret information like invading a country because that is in interest of the people, and he gave a great example of that!
Εξαιρετικά ενδιαφέρουσα συζήτηση. Τρία πράγματα:
1) Ο Vladimir Pozner είναι εξαιρετικά γοητευτικός συζητητής (και άντρας στα 83 του! :)). Το ότι είναι μισός Γάλλος φαίνεται
2) Οι γονείς του θα πρέπει να έζησαν έναν μεγάλο έρωτα, όπως φαίνεται από την ιστορία της παιδικής του ηλικίας που διηγήθηκε στην αρχή
3) Αν το RT είναι μόνο κρατική προπαγάνδα, τότε είναι μια πολύ καλή κρατική προπαγάνδα
Two hours on a Sunday afternoon well spent listening to this. I felt I learned a lot about journalism then and now, and about how Russians see themselves and others. I came away feeling very enlightened.
But afterwards I found myself wondering, was it him or me? If I already thought like him but just didn't know those specific facts, am I more preconditioned to finding him believable than certain other audiences might be?
I know winners of prestigious prizes in technical fields, highly intelligent professors at top universities, who seem to be on the same wavelength as Fox News anchors and find what they hear on Fox News more credible than what they hear on say National Public Radio. Is it Fox News, or is it them? So far I've been unable to answer this to my satisfaction. I find the arguments presented on Fox News ludicrously illogical, but is that Fox News, or is it me?
I had three criticisms of Pozner's many answers. The small one is that, for some people, it is offensive to deny there is a God. When someone asks "do you believe in God", instead of answering "I am an atheist" or "I am an agnostic", more tactful and maybe even more truthful is to say "I would never dispute God's existence." If they ask "do you believe in the immaculate conception" (Richard Dawkin's obsession) Pozner need merely say, "Well, I'm Jewish." (I would say "Oh, I'm a pantheist." It's true: I believe the universe exists, though I would argue we're not made in its image.)
Next is his attitude to China. As someone with US, French, and Russian citizenships it's perhaps understandable, but has he ever followed his own advice and tried to see the world through Chinese eyes?
The big one is his claim that all significant US journalism today is ruled by large organizations that inhibit the freedom journalists used to enjoy as recently as 1995. What? Has he never heard of public-funded NPR? Using the threshold he implied of around 2 million for the size audience above which the Russian government steps in to shut down a station, NPR's drive-time audience of 14.6 million would make it an instant illegal propaganda station in Russia! We the public voluntarily pay for NPR in order that advertisers can't control what NPR's journalists report. If an advertiser on NPR wants to withdraw their ads, no problem, another will step in to reach that huge audience. Is the fact that Russia has nothing like NPR a secret in Russia?
I guess you could say that NPR has preconditioned me to think like Pozner. It's really too bad Russians like him have no appreciation for the role NPR plays in journalism, it might change their perception of American journalism today.
1) In many interviews Pozner says that religion is very personal and sensetive topic and everebody has a right to believe whatever they want, moreover people have a right not to discuss itif they don't want to. His point is that all kind of believes are equal and everybody can say whatever they want and whenever they want about it. So I guess it is not a right thing from your side to advice him what to say due to this.
2) Agree. But as he said he tries to be very careful in his judgments and China is not the country he dealed with a lot and it's not the part of his interests.
3) I recomend you to watch his other interviews especially in russian. Pozner talks a lot about national public media and not only radio in your case. He often says that public media is the only way to create and maintain a trully honest and independent journalism. Furthermore he even tried once to create a public television in Russia and discussed that topic with Putin. But it did not work out.
P.S. English is not my mothertongue so sorry in advance.
Vaughan Pratt thing is Pozner confesses many times that one of his top media sources in English is NPR 😅😅😅
1000% Respect Mr. Pozner
I am half Russian by my mother side and half German by my father side... When Government starts prosecute all Russians I started loosing jobs after jobs in USA.. this is the facts ... I was humiliated, in the order to fire me from the jobs after jobs, disgracefully they fabricated everything. On one job they hired me at first, but postponed my training, and in few weeks send me a letter that they changed their mind and with regrets came to decision not to hire me. They destroyed all my carrier I was hard working all of those years, where I was not hirable anywhere after all... It was dumb politicians, who opinionated their dumb opinion by hurting others ... and I was close to breakdown. When I filed documents of discrimination to the state, to my big surprise they told me it’s no such discrimination there... After escaping Soviet Union regime and risking my life I was hoping to find home and peace here, but I am living in another Soviet Union, in the place where I went through hell by force! If you ask me how I feel now about it... With my Master degree and huge baggage’s of knowledge of corporate of America NO ONE GAVE ME a chance. I am a top performer at all my jobs, but when time comes to fire I am in the first row to be chosen, who never got promotions nor raise. I laugh when on TV and elsewhere they are talking about carrier opportunities promises ... I am working for small money on two jobs 16-20 hrs... Sadly to say I leaved in 4 different countries and never been so much humiliated like here. When it comes about politics, they picked a group of ethnicity and started humiliate them. I know that not all Americans like that, and I met a very good people, who helped me to survive, but because of abusive power small brain cells in the power, that’s what usually happens. In Russia I was afraid to say am German bc Germans have been prosecuted and here I am afraid to say am Russian after all... How sad... outrage and disgusting feelings... I lost my trust, respect! Was that worth it to come here?...
Ольга айда к нам мы тебя спасем
Куда? С удовольствием....
@@helgabaroness без обид, но как-то -пиздежом- неправдой попахивает. В России немцев преследуют? Серьёзно? Да и байки про дискриминацию на западе, как-то с трудом верится.
I used to like Pozner, up until the moment someone asked him if he'd like to interview Navalny, who at that time recovered from being poisoned and put to prison, and he said I am not interested.
Navalny is another kind of shit. you need to know more about him.
He did have public debates with Navalny before that.
@@dmitrycherepov3242 все равно он лысый пидор
I really odor this Man 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍
God loves them!
Châpeau, Monsieur Pozner!!!
WE NEED SHOVELS AND SEEDS FOR PLANTING TREES...PTS"D"?
So who tell me. How is his English?
We can meet our goals if we set them! PRODUCTS OF VALUE MEANINGFUL USE CANNOT BE INTERFERED WITH BY FREEDOM OF SPEECH. FACTS AND OPINIONS ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
1:33:44 Guy doesn't like to predict yet what he said of China was 100% accurate.
As a fan of Pozner, I find it disappointing that “the voice of reason” when it comes to the Russian mindset has chosen to stay silent about this horrific war in Ukraine.
Мr. POZDNER GREAT SAIENTIST GREAT JORNALIST AND GREAT PEOPL !
He is a wise man. I really like him. Not just knowledgeable, but wise. Yet I am sad that he dismisses Marie le Pen, and prefers Macron.
I think that he does not understand the danger Islam is posing to France and Europe.
47:50, weeeeelll, we Norwegians lock our doors. At least in places I've been. But I remember the 80s and some years into the 90s when many people didn't except in cities. But it's true that children run around in the street most places where there isn't much traffic. But they (many) got Androids/iPhones with GPS tracking so their parents follow them.
But this is a very wise man. I heard the whole thing.
I'm wonder as human, in background Pozner protected the sistem of S.Union but now unfortunately.... why? All the time his minds are changing why?
Amanpur was quite active lying about the war in Bosnia
7:10 The word was: "rationalization" strange that Psych fan and Biology bachelor's degree holder has forgotten the term.
No Names dude, he’s 83 years old. He has a very good memory for his age
The same humans that teach their children father christmas brings presents...... and so on and so and so on.
You are doing a really poor job by not translating or allowing others to translate these interviews into another language. Most of the world do not listen to news in English, the media doesn´t even deal with this international issues, so many countries still see things like in the old days, that is: through the western (NATO) eyes.
I would like to translate this (for free and spending my time and effort) but the copyright issue would ban such an attempt. Sending the subtitles via You tube contributions? I have done it and after a year still wait for the translations to come out: it was naive of me to think someone would review it and give it the go ahead.
So, your ''Center for Citizen Initiatives'' if keeping things just for English speakers, like it was just a thing between the US and Russia. You don´t really care about the world's view: have you even thought about this 'liittle' language issue?. No. Tha´ts the great paradox, or, rather, contradiction.
As a Russian, I have to say that Pozner is a master of propaganda, first comminist, then putinist. A real guru with an incredible experience.
Only a person who's not acquainted with his views can think of him as a putinist
Типичный навальнёнок, слышал звон, да не знает, где он.
Pozner a putinist? Seriously? He is criticizing him all the time.
@@edscissorhands5382 He's a puppet who has the image of an unbiased journalist, but at the right moment he will use his reputation to spread lies and protect the regime. Just as he approved of the war in Afghanistan, just as he called dissenters in USSR criminals and approved of their imprisonment when he was younger.
@@ratio123456 he literally openly mentioned that he was indoctrinated in Soviet style and made propaganda for them, he said he truly believed the Soviet cause. It was when jugoslavia was attacked by the Soviets, when he slowly started to change his view and realize what he is doing and quit his job before the Soviet collapsed.
Mr Pozdner Fewtwre Prezident of Rassha ! Prezident of noes USSAR !
Ah, the man with the famous crow? Or was it a raven. The "good old days" of Moscow Radio. Not that he ever said a word that turned out to be true. Shame that.
as a russian i have to russia russian russian
It IS our responsibility to make sure our servant doesnt act like a dangerous pitbull with an irresponsible dangerous owner!!
Chineses' and I believe Iranians' mindset is to some extent similar to that of Russians'. When things are hard, we are shifting to nationalist.
I wonder what his comments would be on civilian korean flight 007 downed by the soviets and his comments then???>
I will call you VLAD, and I am telling you, you are a book of knowledge to me, very close to my liking of humans, kind of UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF LIFE.. I wish, I learnt Russian and Turkish at a level to understand them better, I was looking more to WEST, Europe and America, and I do believe that Anglo-Saxon America was the best ( with the help of the Europeans invaders until the 1900+ or mid Sixties)..when Kennedy was KILLED.. it was the END of the personal FREEDOM envisioned by the FATHERS of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. CONSTITUTION and my new view based on the problems in world today
1:35:15 😂
This man was the _Vince Scully_ of the *Evil Empire.*
He makes Putin look pretty warm and fuzzy. There may be some evidence he tried to make an alliance with certain interests inside the US but too often he's been working behind the scenes causing trouble.
You have to look at the timing he explains why putin is now different. He is saying Putin used to be „pretty warm and fuzzy“ but the west has forced him to „cause trouble behind the scenes“
The number one apologist for the evil empire.
Wow. I like to inform you - Russians, for some time, reject the notion of "evil empire", but now we find its more funny to agree. We name Russia "a bloody Mordor", refer to mr. Putin as "A Darkest One" and even rewritten "Middle-Earth" entirely from the orks perspective. And book become immensely popular.
We also loves refer to Americans as "elves"
You know, guys in shining armor, indispensable nation, looking top-down on lesser races, seeks to destroy orks kingdom (probably to steal our resources).
So you are welcome. Name us as you want
---
But please,don't touch mr. Pozner. He defend Russia in the West - and defend West in Russia. Hardcore putinists hates him. I think he old and wise and fear possible war and do whatever he can to lower tensions.
Of course the United states President wont call a newspaper yet someone else will "do" it for him. It works differently in the west and there is an interview here on youtube with an ex CIA John Stockwell (whatever) explaining
1:35:15 best part of the performance
Ivan Pavlov ... I'm pretty sure if one of our hearts are harmed all of our hearts are harmed! Joy love brotherhood..we love the Lord God with all of our heart and soul And love our neighbors as we love selves..Statistics tell the truth about the truth and who isn't telling it.. Seems a waste of energy.. lying..
Putin and Trump .... a band of brothers ......
The reason Crimea was given to Ukraine was to make sure that there was a majroity ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
West and South Russia populated with the same ethnicity as Ukraine. A real reason was Crimea is a peninsula connected to Ukraine.
@@slavdomania It would seem the Russian Ukrainians and the Crimeans are of a different opinion than you are. And indeed, it seems that even the Rada and President Porochenko are of a different opinion than you in that the provinces they declared marshal law in are the same provinces that voted for Yanukovich in the 2010 presidential election..
@Martin Andersson I don't care about opinions. I've given you facts. Despite of number of people their opinion can't change their genetic template or disconnect peninsula from a continent. Fact and opinion are not the same thing.
@@slavdomania If you do not respect the opinion of the people themselves, what is the justification for power?
@@martinan22 You misinterpret my statements. "I don't care about opinions" - means: I don't want to discuss it now and prefer to talk about facts. So, I don't want to continue such fruitless discussion.
Can you promote creating a garden of Eden out of the earth?
Is this is the same man who speak non sense, who have his own particular view of the Soviet Union Collapse?
After Pozner sold down to Putin for a TV program, people in Russia, even those who didn't know he used to be a KGB reporter, began treating Pozner with a lot of misgiving and contempt.
He is like a kind,absolutely not clever. The real propagandist
About what Hire I need legal help because way too much abuse Weening ? !
Because you don't care about Report Flags
I serch American or evropian girl, I want my children simular Posner)) I teach my children Russian & Armenian, my wife teach English)))
This guy was a huge Soviet apologist during the cold war. Just google the old Phil Donahue shows and he would always make excuses for the Soviet corrupt repressive system. Don't be fooled by his now post soviet Shtick..He was a Soviet plant and never has been called to task for it.
He literally said that openly, he literally said that he was indoctrinated and really believed it. Since the Soviets attacked jugoslawia he slowly started to change. Soviet system wouldn’t have existed for if people didn’t believe in the cause.
He makes good points until he talls about germany or le pen.

RE : U.S. CREATED V. PUTIN
I have two questions for Mr Pozner -:
1. Do you threaten to "nuke" all who do not view the U.S. as their Icon.
2. What do you , in your oligargic mind , propose to do to those who do not view you as their icon .
1. I will quote Sergey Karaganoff, mastermind of our foreign policy, Putin adviser:
"Big issue with US - they not experience strategic defeat yet. Thus not have a strategic wisdom. By defeating US - we will make good thing for them. Through such defeat - they will learn strategic wisdom and become a more valuable member of international community"
So our goal not to destroy, but to educate. To change behavior.
2. Russians not view themselves as an icon to follow. Yes, we believe we have a mission. But in order to accomplish this mission me must stay humble. Because mission is to... to stop Antichrist. No less than that.
I will not go to details. But...according to Bible - Antichrist will prevail in the end. So we know that we doomed to fail. Its more about save one's soul through suffer for the right cause.
I end with another quote - now from Sscred Oath of Russian Army.
"I swear to firmly stood up to all hardships and deprivations of service" .
You see, not a good base to picture ourselvees as "icon". Its more a personal goal. Path to God. Where "person" is we, Russians.
is pozner a jew?
Yes he is
To me, the comment about "Russians having a mission" is absolute nonsense. I wonder where he got that from, since a regular Russian only cares about himself/herself and their family, not about any "mission". That might have been true during the Soviet years, but now, there is now such thing, not even close.
Welll
He got it from the russians.
Mr. Pozner has always been a cynical propagandist in the service of Soviet tyrants, today he is serving as diligently another tyrant. Serving tyrants for a very high pay and privilege is in his blood. Calling hime an “icon” and an “independent thinker” is obscene.
Ррр
When NATO starts moving back from Russian borders, that will be the first step to real friendship. No one in Russia wants wars or seize Baltic states ( "states" sounds funny here of course:))) but let them be) or do something like that. May be there some idiots, but idiots are represented by all nations.
his perception is very ignorant to generational social psychological conditioning .....
Russian propagandist.
In Russia we call him anti-Russian propagandist ))
