Direct Translation via Google Translate.Putin on the West's reaction to his interview with Carlson: it's good that they are listening
[Regnum] Russian President Vladimir Putin called it “good” that Western leaders watched his interview and thanked American journalist Tucker Carlson as a mediator in communication.
“What they are watching and listening to is good,” the Russian leader said in an interview with Pavel Zarubin, a journalist for the Rossiya-1 TV channel.
Putin also added that if Russia, for some reason related to the West, is unable to conduct a direct dialogue, then Carlson’s help, as a mediator, makes it possible to communicate.
As Regnum reported, Vladimir Putin is one of the authoritative leaders among the world majority, but there is an audience in the West prone to demonizing the head of state. This was stated on February 11 by presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov in an interview with the “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin,” a fragment of which was published by Pavel Zarubin in the Telegram channel.
Tucker Carlson is a mirror of public opinion in the United States, Peskov told Zarubin. He said that Vladimir Putin was preparing for the interview and relied on a deep knowledge of history, hoping to convey it to ordinary Americans through a conversation with Carlson.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that after an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, there was time to discuss the “demonization of Russia” with him.
Putin explained that not all topics were included in the interview that the parties would like to talk about. For example, the issue of demonization of Russia. He gave an example with a statement by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who more than once spoke about his great-grandfather who escaped from Russia from Jewish pogroms.
“Mr. Blinken said that his great-grandfather fled Russia from Jewish pogroms. And in different countries of the world, in Europe, in the States, this topic constantly arises, I repeat, arises with the aim of demonizing Russia,” Vladimir Putin assured.
| That’s because in the late 19th century Russia had the largest Jewish population in the world, and a great many of them fled west when that became possible. So there are a lot of people with a family memory of being abused by Russia, and considerably fewer with a family memory of being abused elsewhere, at least until modern history. Is it demonizing Germany to talk about the Nazi Holocaust? |
