should be focused on the rulers,
という考え方があります
in many countries, like mine, Russia,
多くの国の人々が
that was predetermined
決定された あるいは決定されるものだ
influence it in any way.
出来ないと考えているのです
that Russia could ever have been
本当の民主主義国家にもなりえた
信じていません
history has been framed
歴史がこのような枠に
of my life trying to go 100 years back,
100年前に遡るためにです
and Facebook existed 100 years ago?
フェイスブックがあったら?と考えました
a social network for dead people,
死者のためのネットワークを開設しました
と名付けました
all possible real diaries and letters
for each day of 1917
時系列で追うことができます
like Stravinsky or Trotsky,
トロツキー、レーニン、パヴロワ
and others thought and felt.
読むことができます
being ordinary people like you and me,

of their mistakes, fears, weaknesses,
弱さが含まれていることが分かります
衝撃を与えました
has always been an autocratic empire
専制政治を行う帝国であり

that is called 1968Digital.com,
新たなオンライン企画をスタートしました
of that year, 1968,
created the world as we know it now.
あらゆる面で形作ったのです
characters could use mobile phones ...
使う事が出来たらと想像することでです
同じような問題に直面し
and were fighting for the same values,
戦っていたのです
in the US or in USSR
ソビエトであれ
or in Czechoslovakia.
チェコスロヴァキアであれ関係ありません
in such a democratic way,
民主的な方法で
are not the only ones making choices.
最終決定を下すのではないと示せます
of reclaiming history.
philosophers matter.

Why you should listen
Mikhail Zygar is a Russian journalist, writer, filmmaker and the founding editor-in-chief of the Russian independent news TV-channel, Dozhd (2010 - 2015). Prior to Dozhd, Zygar worked for Newsweek Russia and the business daily Kommersant, where he covered the conflicts in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Serbia and Kosovo. His bestseller All the Kremlin's Men is based on an unprecedented series of interviews with Vladimir Putin’s inner circle, presenting a radically different view of power and politics in Russia. His recent book The Empire Must Die was released in Russian and English in 2017. It portrays the years leading up to the Russian revolution and the vivid drama of Russia's brief and exotic experiment with civil society before it was swept away by the Communist Revolution.
