I consider my most important discussion point in this interview the observation that the attack on Russia’s Novorossiisk oil terminal which has shut down 80% of Kazakhstan’s oil exports was by one or more Ukrainian naval drones. It is reasonable to believe that the British have enabled this attack which punishes not Russia but the American companies that own the wells and partly own the pipeline transporting the oil to the now damaged port terminal on the Black Sea. Let us remember that it is precisely the British who were behind the naval drone attack on the Kerch bridge connecting Crimea to mainland Russia more than a year ago and also behind drone attacks on Russian naval vessels based in Sevastopol. It would be useful if this question of British dirty work were put to Prime Minister Starmer for clarifications.

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. View all posts by gilbertdoctorow
