On the YouTube channel "Gordon is a Guest" the founder of the publication "GORDON" Dmitry Gordon interviewed Russian lawyer and blogger Mark Feigin.
During the interview, Gordon and Feigin discussed topics such as:
visits by representatives of U.S. President Donald Trump, Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner to Moscow and Kyiv;
the possibility of an illegitimate Russian aggressor president Vladimir Putin’s visit to the G20 summit in Miami, USA, where Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky is ready to meet him in person;
Trump’s peace efforts;
u나krainian ballistic strikes on the Kremlin, the Crimean Bridge, and Valdai simultaneously;
Trump’s statement that Ukraine should stop strikes on Russian oil refineries;
the “hellish” sanctions of the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham;
midterm elections in the United States, which the Republican Party may lose;
intensification of shelling of Ukraine due to Russia’s army’s failures on the battlefield;
mobilization in the Russian Federation;
a difficult winter for Ukraine and surprises for Putin.
"Even if they propose giving up a piece of Donetsk region to make a demilitarized zone, Putin will never agree. But even if he did agree – what would Ukraine get in return? Would the war stop? Would Ukraine be left alone? No. They offer a pie with nothing inside," Feigin noted.
Feigin was born 1971 in Kuybyshev (now Samara). He completed the law faculty of Samara State University, the Academy of National Economy under the Government of the Russian Federation, and the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry. He earned a Candidate of Legal Sciences degree. In 1994–1995 years he was a deputy of the State Duma of the I convocation, in 1997–2007 years – vice-mayor of Samara.
In 1990-s years he obtained lawyer status, but began practicing law in 2000-s. He gained broad fame as one of the lawyers for Pussy Riot, a member of the punk group. After Russia’s aggression began, he defended the interests of several well-known Ukrainian citizens who were detained by Russia or faced criminal cases in absentia, including the leader of the Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Dzhemilev and former pilot Nadya Savchenko.
