Out of the Box Radio Show
with Jeff Nyquist
On Tuesday at 10pm Eastern, 7pm Pacific, Jeff Nyquist interviews Victor and Marina Kalashnikov, two Moscow journalists blacklisted by the state. The Kalashnikovs have interviewed leading political, military and intelligence officials in Russia (especially former Soviet officials). A few years ago, when Gorbachev found what they were doing, he warned his former colleagues to stop talking to the Kalashnikov. According to Victor and Marina, the old Soviet structures remain in place, beneath the surface, reconstructing a new type of dictatorship in Russia. With new positions in Latin America and Africa, Russia is building a new anti-American bloc. Using oil and gas as economic weapons, Russia has combined with China to undermine the U.S. dollar. Don't miss Jeff's interview with the Kalashnikovs. Catch a replay of Out of the Box radio program every Sunday at 6 PM Eastern, 3 PM Pacific at wibg.com, or listen on your iphone with the application.

Meet Victor Kalashnikov: former KGB officer, scholar, analyst, and writer. He is married to historian and journalist Marina Kalashnikova, the subject of last week's column. Before the Soviet Union collapsed Victor worked for the KGB in Vienna. After Gorbachev's bizarre abdication in December 1991, Victor found himself drawn into the Presidential administration of Boris Yeltsin on orders of KGB General Yevgeny Primakov. There he became a research director in the Russian Public Policy Center. "So I turned my attention 180 degrees from Europe to Russia," Victor explained. "I was quite enthusiastic to explore what was going on in Russia. The people in the Kremlin came across a lot of surprises and discoveries as to what Russia really was."

Marina Kalashnikova's Warning to the West
by Jeff Nyquist
Fri, 17 July 2009 15:00:00 GMT
Meet Marina Kalashnikova: a Moscow-based historian, researcher and journalist. Last August she criticized foreign "experts" for suggesting that a conflict with Moscow will not happen because Russia's elite is too closely associated with the West. According to Kalashnikova, "The West does not care to wake from the dream of its wishful thinking, even when Moscow turns to ... reanimating Stalin's cult of personality together with the ideology of the Cheka [i.e., the secret police]."
