So a lot of support came from the United States, especially to Russia, especially ammunition, weapons, and so on. So I can't say that that was the precondition. I don't underestimate the heroic attempts of the Russians to defend their own land, even against the Hungarians anyway, because we were on the other side. But it's true that the alliance with the West

played a role that Russia was able to survive the German attacks. So that's exaggeration on the Western side of that story, probably. And the second, don't forget that in the 90s, in the 90s, I was prime minister when President Putin came into power, 1990. I was first time prime minister at that time. And I do remember how was the 90s. In the 90s,

That was the 90s. And they did it. They made a huge amount of money. George Soros, who I always would focus to follow anyway to understand what's going on, did it. But the Russians were not satisfied with that at all. And then there was a change. President Putin came to power and said, guys, this integration to the world economy, not the way which is serving the interest of Russia.

And they cut many things. And many Americans and European investors have to realize some losses. And I think the idea that they were so close to get it, to get the major source of the profit, and it was stopped by the same man, there is a personal revenge element in their way of thinking. I'm sure of that. Sorry, that's too much probably to say about it.

I'm sure that from the Emirates they are doing their businesses as well, and the Saudis and others. So they would not like to be isolated. They would be part of the world economy based on the Russian interest, not on the Washington consensus principles or something like that, you know? But it's their country.
