Become a sponsor of the channel: / @tv2-media Mikhail Shishkin is a writer. Lives in Switzerland. Writes in Russian and German. You may be familiar with his books: "The Taking of Izmail", "Venus' Hair", "The Letter Writer". Winner of the "Russian Booker", "National Bestseller", and "Big Book" awards. Mikhail has long been critical of the Russian political regime. Back in 2013, he refused to represent Russia at an international book fair. Then he called for a boycott of the World Cup in Russia. In his opinion, "the regime has taken Russia hostage", and democratic countries should fight against it more actively. In the interview, Mikhail also says that Russia is swinging from dictatorship to chaos, that "the entire system under a dictatorship is designed to raise slaves", but he believes that all countries will one day have a democratic future. ▶️TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Mikhail Shishkin about himself 00:49 – You were one of the critics of Russia for the annexation of Crimea. Why didn’t the West do anything then? 02:36 – After Crimea, you declared yourself an emigrant, but you left back in 1995. Who did you consider yourself to be for the previous 20 years? 04:14 – Was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine inevitable? 09:05 – “Patriotism is slavery”? 13:03 – What is your attitude towards patriotism outside of a dictatorship? 14:08 – Your collection of books “Peace or War?”, published in Germany and France, was not translated into Russian. Why? 17:43 – Russia is thrown to extremes: from empire to chaos and revolution, from revolution to totalitarianism, is it possible to escape from this circle? 21:53 – If communist parties had been banned and lustration had been carried out in 1990, would this have stopped the transition back to authoritarianism? 22:49 – If Putin’s regime falls, is it possible to prevent chaos in Russia: banditry, revanchism? 24:06 – Different people talk about the possibility of Russia’s collapse: both Putin and many in the opposition – how do you assess the likelihood of such a scenario?
