[ 01:19:05 ] So we say now "E tan e epi tas". Nature colors, humanity colors, until the final victory. We continue, the light is all is needed. We march steady, like an arrow to the target, we continue. I should probably just stay quiet after words like that. Okay. But we will definitely do another broadcast together, I think. And I am very happy that you were with us today. So, from my heart, I love you. Thank you all for listening. Thank you Norbert for being patient there. Thank you Peter. Norman is coming on the scene after the last song. What do you choose? Yes. Thank you very much for everything. Thank you. Thank you to all of you who are watching us and listening to us. To viewers and listeners, NOVÝ VEKin the world. Thank you. So last song. <song> Thank you. So that was the last piece from Greece. Danielka, thank you for the translation. We’ll say goodbye to you and welcome Nora onto the stage, and then we’ll move on to the next segments. Let’s let those beautiful, Greek, sunny melodies linger for a moment longer, and then we’ll move on to the situation in the world. So, thank you once again. Cheers, have a lovely evening. Right then, I’d like to welcome onto the stage… as always, Nora is here; Ivan is away on business today, so we’ve arranged it this way. I’m really glad you’re here again, and I’ve seen you’ve prepared something we haven’t had before – a summary, a very interesting summary. A general overview of the key points, explaining why the world looks and is going the way it is at the moment. So… So let’s hear your take on this situation. Thank you very much, Peťo, for the welcome. Greetings to all the listeners, viewers and fans.

[ 01:27:33 ] of our broadcast, our joint broadcast. Yes, you’re right about that today. And I’d also like to thank Viky for her insights, for her charisma, and for sharing information with us that we hadn’t heard before. As for the news segment “The Truth in Context,” today’s episode won’t be a typical roundup of recent current events, but rather we’ll look at the world a little differently. We won’t be looking at them through the lens of complicated political rhetoric; instead, we’ll try to look at them in a simple way so that ordinary people, in particular, can make sense of what’s currently happening at home and around the world. And most importantly, why is it happening? So that a person who gets up in the morning, goes to work, pays their mortgage or rent, buys groceries and other necessities, and in the evening turns on the TV, as is customary for the average citizen—so that they can understand what all these different events have in common and make those connections. Because we often hear one news story about war, another about oil, a third about billionaires, a fourth about energy prices, and a fifth about politics. Each one looks like a separate story, but often they aren’t separate stories at all. They’re like pieces of a single puzzle, and today we’re going to try to put them together. So let’s start with the first piece, and that first piece of the puzzle is oil. Let’s start with something very simple. Oil is money. Whoever controls large quantities of it for years has enormous revenues. And whoever has enormous revenues also has enormous power.

[ 01:29:35 ] In Russia, Rosneft is therefore much more than just an ordinary company; it’s a powerhouse. At its helm is Igor Sechin, one of the most powerful figures in the Russian energy sector and a longtime member of Vladimir Putin’s inner circle. Another major player is Gazprom, led by Alexei Miller. Now let’s put this into plain language. When Russia sells oil and gas, huge amounts of money flow into the country. This money funds the state. It funds investments, and it also funds the government’s priorities. At the same time, Russia uses its energy resources as a tool of foreign policy—whether we like it or not. So when we talk about oil and gas, we’re really talking about power. Now let’s move on to the second piece of the puzzle, which is money—but above all, let’s look at where that money goes. Here’s a very simple question: When a country earns billions, what does the average person get out of it? Well, that’s where the problem begins, because there’s a huge gap between the state’s revenue and the standard of living of its citizens. Citizens may see the enormous profits of energy giants, but at the same time, they’re struggling with the cost of food, housing, or energy. And then they go online and see luxurious homes, expensive cars, yachts, and the lifestyles of people at the very top of society. They begin to wonder how it’s possible that the country has such vast resources, such immense wealth, and yet so many people are struggling with everyday problems.
