Gilbert Doctorow's latest book, "War Diaries. The Russia-Ukraine War, 2022-2023" is a unique contribution to literature on the war thanks to the author's reports on the Russian home front written during his periodic visits to St Petersburg at a time when Russia no longer issued visas and nearly all Western journalists had left the country. Doctorow's two-volume "Memoirs of a Russianist" published in 2020 also constitutes a category of its own, consisting largely of diary entries rather than reminiscences written decades later.. Volume 2 focuses on the community of 50,000 expatriate managers working and living in Moscow during the 1990s, about which none of his peers has yet to write.
Gilbert Doctorow is a professional Russia watcher and actor in Russian affairs going back to 1965. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College (1967), a past Fulbright scholar, and holder of a Ph.D. with honors in history from Columbia University (1975).
After completing his studies, Mr. Doctorow pursued a business career focused on the USSR and Eastern Europe. For twenty-five years he worked for US and European multinationals in marketing and general management with regional responsibility.
From 1998-2002, Doctorow served as the Chairman of the Russian Booker Literary Prize in Moscow. During the 2010-2011 academic year, he was a Visiting scholar of the Harriman Institute, Columbia University.
Mr. Doctorow is a long-time resident of Brussels.

There a few private YouTube channels that have cross talk. I don’t know if they have an official arrangement with RT. I doubt they do.

You are right. I checked with producers at RT and received the following information: ” It is someone downloading our videos online and upload on YouTube. We won’t be back on YT any time soon, if ever.
Here are official links to the segment:

and
We are on rt.com and platforms such as Odysee & Rumble.”
I have corrected my text in line with this new information

A miracle: a Belgian journalist in a discussion program on Belgian public television openly questioned Europe’s attitude in the Ukraine war! “Why does Europe allow the US to use our continent for destructive military activity? Why does Europe implement Washington’s agenda, to its own detriment?”
That, and other issues, are subjects discussed in my new article “Do European leaders allow Washington to govern Europe”, which just appeared on Geopolitiek in context, see

Thanks, Paul. Good to see that Belgian journalists are leading the way to rediscovering national self-interest! I write to you from St Petersburg and am again able to watch the Russian media more closely. In today’s harvest: a Russian officer is saying that the HIMARS rocket launchers which are now wreaking havoc on Kakhovka and other DNR towns are manned not by Ukrainians but by US and UK officers. That effectively makes the US and UK co-belligerents and allows the Kremlin at any moment to declare war by word or by deed. Watch out!
