News X World: Interview on European intentions to send troops to Ukraine

Uncategorized 1 Minute

News X World has just sent me the link to a video interview recorded on the first day of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit. The topic was not the summit but instead European plans to send troops to Ukraine.  I come in at minute 2.50

Have a listen…

I note that the past couple of days have awakened my sensitivity to the word “hounded.”  With 4 Indian broadcasters and one Indian news agency in pursuit of interviews and offering panel slots, I have felt very much like the fox running before the pack of hounds.  But we made our peace.  The video links are coming in. And one broadcaster, CNN 18, with whom I will do a follow-up interview later this afternoon has taken an interest in my War Diaries, the Russian Ukraine War, 2022-2023.  As the shoe salesman said of prospects for sales in Africa, with its 1.4 billion inhabitants, India is a promising market.

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.
