A conversation with Professor Glenn Diesen, 6 September: Russia, China and India Unite Against US Hegemony

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Today’s discussion with Professor Diesen was far reaching, starting with a review of the achievements of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjan, consideration of the prospects for the United States and India to patch up relations in the coming six months, Russian comments on the Beijing military parade which may surprise viewers, the logic behind India blocking the accession of Azerbaijan to the SCO and Pakistan blocking Armenia, the consequences for Mongolia of its being a transit country for the Power of Siberia-2 pipeline, the Russian interest in the agreed routing of the pipeline for the sake of ‘gasification’ of Eastern Siberia and the reasons why Trump was not present at the Beijing military parade, The chat ended on a positive note when I shared the prediction I heard a day ago from a European Parliament deputy who is in touch with various blocs of deputies though he himself is non-aligned. He expects von der Leyen to fall from power within the coming six months, meaning that the entire ship of fools that she has put together, including the Russophobic dummy in charge of foreign policy, Kaja Kallas, will go with her.

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.
