Re: The ARD Putin "censorship scandal" (none / 0)

Can we have the interview in German? I'd love to see Putin speak German as my Russian is horribly bad while my German is just bad.

And also because it would remind me of that wonderful photo of Schröder and Putin hugging, with Putin looking like Hitler and Schröder like Stalin. ;)

Oh stupid me, the interview is in Russian. I just thought Putin would speak German when interviewed by a German TV channel as he is fluent in the language.

The reporter speaks German however. I linked youtube videos in the comment below.

You can now read the official German transscript of the full interview. (What you won't see there is which part was cut and which was shown in the 9-minute version.)

Hi PeWi, great to see not really being here. But it would be nice to see you really being here and more often.:-)

Hope you and your family are well.

oh I am still here, just not writing, - we thought briefly of coming to Paris, but from where we are now, it is just this bit further and since DoDo isn;t coming either. That might have swung it. (-:

Awww... maybe next year I can come, covering a longer distance than you (at least in time); so no excuses then :-) !

Drop in a word every now and then, all the same. You're missed when you "disappear", you know. (Do you know?) :-)
