This is another brief interview with the Indian broadcaster which followed back-to-back with the foregoing interview.
Note that this evening’s Russian state television has very extensive reporting on the halt to U.S. military supplies to Ukraine and uses lengthy video clips and newspaper citations coming from U.S., French, British and German media as well as the public statements of Ukrainian officials. In the commentary show ‘Sixty Minutes,’ Trump’s decision to cut military aid to Ukraine is put at the door of Eldridge Colby, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, who is said to head Trump’s brain trust within the Pentagon. Colby, they say, sees no value in wasting further valuable equipment on Ukraine, and instead wants to direct all U.S. procurement and building of U.S. equipment reserves for an eventual conflict with China.
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.
