This would require a Flash or Java plugin to record the audio to a suitable compressed format. Then the data could be uploaded just like the File upload plugin does. The result would be very cool.

I agree, this would be a fine Repository plugin!
Nanogong could be a good place to start:
Tim, thanks for your suggestion, watchers, thanks for your interest, and thanks to everyone who has voted
This feature idea is now included in the list http://docs.moodle.org/en/Projects_for_new_developers
Could this also work for video - to record directly from a webcam?
As a language teacher, this would be a great asset. It would change every computer lab into a language lab. I like the record video from a webcam also, and would like to see recording of both ends of a conversation.
Sounds great! Intergrating the audio recording with the upload so that if a 'title' has been defined the audio appears when the recording ends would reduce clutter perhaps.
Doing this with video as well (as Clark suggests) would be superb (and I don't think at all trivial), I know one or two lecturers at Ravensbourne College, UK, who video blog their lectures. Though you then have to consider hiding the resource for a week or students never need get out of bed!
Not necessarily a 'webcam', but a plugged in camcorder for example.
And note the fabulously clever BBC model where the server is fed a file stream from the news desk, which is immediately streamable from the front end! But perhaps that is TOO exotic!
The riffly repository plugin provides integration of the riffly.com web services, allowing recording of audio and video content. The content is stored on the riffly.com servers and requires no account, streaming software or additional storage space on the Moodle side.
For the benefit of watchers, and anyone else viewing this issue, I'm just adding a link to a blog post where Andrei explains how to install and use the riffly repository plugin:
here is a patch for a similar purpose that you can apply to Moodle 1.9.x
it enables audio/video posts in forums:
i will keep you posed when i have integrated it into htmlarea
(for moodle 1.9.x users, that will not be moving to ver 2.0 this year)
The latest riffly plugin is in CVS contrib/repository/riffly. I'm also attaching the nanogong plugin for repository. It's not in CVS, yet.
The two plugins are in CVS /plugins/repository/riffy and /plugins/repository/nanogong.
Andrei, thanks for adding the plugins to the modules and plugins database
For anyone wishing to try out the plugins, please see http://abautu.blogspot.com/2009/08/completed-audio-repository-plugins.html
Hi Andrei,
I've just tried the riffy plugin on my 2.0 test site. I couldn't get my riffy instance to appear in the list of repositories in the file picker until Jerome figured out that 'Download files locally' needed to be set to Yes in the repository instance settings. (The default is No.)
Hope this little problem can be fixed easily.
Hi Helen,
Thank you for your observation. "Download files" option defaults now to Yes because the File picker displays only plugins that can provide it with actual files (ie. it does not accept links).
Andrei, thanks for fixing the problem.
Watchers, and anyone else interested, please feel free to try out the repository plugins on our test site:
http://test.moodle.org/audiovideo/ - login with username test and password test
Thanks to Jerome and Jordan for setting up the test site.
Just installed the Riffy plugin. I am getting this error message: Plugin "mod_riffly" is defective, can not continue, sorry.
My 2.0 installation is not current, though. Maybe I need to update and try again.

Hi Art,
Thank you for the comment. Did it work with the latest 2.0 dev?
Following is the result of trying 'Riffy plugin' on Moodle 2.0 dev (Build 20090822)
Plugin "mod_riffly" is defective, can not continue, sorry.

Hi George,
I just updated the Moodle and pluings' code. I tried to replicate this error but I could not (ie it worked correctly). Can you update your code and retest? Maybe the error was fixed already in someplace else. If it shows up again, can you provide more details:
- can you replicate the errors multiple times?
- what are the steps that trigger it (where did you clicked, what you typed) ?
- how is your plugin configured?
I've got a question about Nanogong repository in Moodle 2.0: will it be compatible with recordings created by Nanogong HTML Area in version 'Nanogong 3' (available here: http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=1209)?
I'm looking forward for response.
@Lukasz: The repository plugin uses the same Nanogong applet, so the file format is the same. The difference is that for the repository plugin, after recording the file goes under the repository management (which is part of Moodle), instead of begin managed by the 3rd party plugin you mentioned. A tool to migrate the files from the Nanogong HTML Area inside the repository might be helpful though (especially if you have many files).
Hi all,
Maybe a bug - or not. I checked out the forum post at http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=130822 which pointed me to the demo site at http://test.moodle.net/audiovideo/course/view.php?id=2 in which I tried to test the functionality.
For NanoGong I got this error - http://screencast.com/t/ZDYwZDgyN
For Riffly I got this error - http://screencast.com/t/MTEyOWIzO
I'm getting our dev team to install these plugins on a local Moodle, but wondering if they are known bugs or if that site is out of date (looks like there are some fairly old posts in there), in which case it might be good to put a warning on there or update it or something.
If they are bugs then I can do a screencast to show more detail about the error, but afaik I'm using the plugins in a pretty standard way on that test site.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for reporting. I'll try to take a look at it. I believe some APIs changed since the plugin code was written.
I think riffly.com is out of business and not responding for my emails for a few months, now.
Shame. They are such a good idea for a service.
we are using http://www.voice-it.biz/lang/EN/homepage
I think you should consider using Kaltura (http://www.kaltura.org/moodle-kaltura-plugin)
We are testing there product and it looks very promising
Pity this didn't work out for 2.0, hopefully someone can develop something later.
It would be nice if we can get this resolved by 2.1. We host for 20 school districts (and growing) that would put this to good use. One of the school districts just inquired about this.
This does not need to wait until Moodle 2.1. Repository plugins are just that, plug-ins. Anyone can try making a record audio plugin and then share it using the Modules and Plugins database, and then people can try it in Moodle 2.0 if they want.
If someone makes a really good plugin like that, that works reliably on most people's computers, then we can consider including it in Moodle 2.x.
The Moodle for Language Teaching folks are desperately waiting for a recording plug-in for Moodle 2.0 before they can/will switch, see http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=170422 (NanoGong).
Our language training centre has just installed Moodle 2.02 on a trial basis and a voice recorder is indeed desperately needed!
I'm a language teacher and I would be grateful if you could install Nano Gongon Moodle 2.
Thanks a lot!
A bit of development for upgrading NanoGong to Moodle 2.0 is going on at http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=170422 and documented at http://docs.moodle.org/en/NanoGong/Converting_to_Moodle_2.0
Any testing, comments and help welcome!
As a language teacher, I came to, and adopted, Moodle primarily because of Nanogong. Hearing my students' presentations on line, recording and inserting my own comments in their assignments were priceless features - so interesting that my colleagues asked me to train them and to let them develop their own courses on my site. Now, I feel stuck - between my Moodle 1.9.9 site in which my colleagues and I have invested a lot of time and energy - and Moodle 2.1. in which we won't be able to transfer our courses but have to start all over again from scratch - to find fewer of the features we have come to find indispensable.
I think that what has not been taken into consideration in the move to Moddle 2.0 is the time it takes for busy teachers to build, test, develop activities - and the time it takes developers to come up on their "free" time with solutions to problems they have not created.
I feel let down - and my time taken for granted.
I share with you the hope to see a NanoGong plugin for Moodle 2. However, there is no reason to feel let down. Moodle 1.9.x works very well and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Encourage the coders, donate some funds if you can, or contribute with code yourself, if you wish to speed up the development.
I have recently uploaded a new set of plugins that integrates into the Moodle 1.9.x HTMLAREA Editor,
one of them allow you Audio Recording. you can try it out : http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-2730
When we move to Moodle 2, we will convert those plugins to work with TinyMCE.
Hope you will find it usefull
I took the liberty of keeping a history of Nanogong code here: http://gitorious.org/nanogong/
@Frank Ralf
Did you ever see my comment re: my test of your first try here: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=170422 ?
Thanks everyone for your comments and votes. Increasing priority and setting a fix version of DEV backlog for the issue to be considered for inclusion in the next version of Moodle.
I have been bored due to rain for the last few days so I have been learning php and Moodle API. I now have a working Nanogong Text Filter for Moodle 2.1+. I guess it will probably work on 2.03 but I don't have one setup to test it. I have been making the Nanogong sound files in My Mooodle 1.9.12+ and then uploaded them into Moodle 2.1 repositories, forums, topic areas, and test questions and the files work perfectly like they do in the same areas of Moodle 1.9.
I have also been working on getting the old GSOC2009 Nanogong repository updated so I can record directly in Moodle 2 but I am stuck. I can create the repository but have not been able to figure out how to get the recorder to pop up for use. The actual code I'm having trouble with is : 'iframe' => $CFG->wwwroot . '/repository/nanogong/record.php?repo_id=' . $this->id,
Anybody have any ideas for me?
It is likely to be hard to get the recorder to pop-up in the file-picker. I believe that iframe option may not be properly implemented because none of the other repositories use it. (It used to work, then it got broken by other changes.). So, it will require hairy debugging in the filepicker code, which is not simple.
Of, course, very worthwhile to get it working. So good luck!
There has been quite some progress lately. See the following threads:
I would really like to see this NanoGong repository work, as it comes closest to the functionality the 1.9 NanoGong plugin provides and I am willing to put (some of) my money where my vote is. I have some change left over from the Christmas shopping spree. Where and how can I donate it towards the completion of this repository?
This tracker issue could be combined with http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-2174
I have just finished a Moodle audio/video recording repository over at http://www.poodll.com . I think it does the job nicely. It uses flash/red5. The Red5 server is in the "cloud" (ooooh) over at Amazon EC2 so users don't need to install Red5 and it tunnels nicely through a firewall. It is all open source and free. I am not charging for the Amazon EC2 usage, though I hope to recoup some of those costs via donations.
Along the way I had a good look at the nanogong recorder and I think managed to get it just a short hop from working. The recorder shows and records and playsback. From now Moodle just needs to pick up that recording. I think it is just plumbing from here.The problem was that it needed to show itself in an iframe, but that functionality has been removed from the repository API. Well as it happens I found that there is another way to use an iframe, and that is how the PoodLL repository now works. ( I pass the iframe code into the label section of the login form.) If people are still interested in the nanogong repository I can finish it up or give me code to someone (who?).
There are now a number of working examples of audio (and video) recording add-ons in the Plugins Directory.
It could be argued that one of these could be distributed as a standard plugin, but I would argue against this as it is now easier than ever to install add-ons.
While it is true that there are many choices of recording plugins and they are easy to install, we have Moodle Partners who charge USD 700 to install/support one non-standard plugin per year. A standard plugin would greatly reduce costs.

We are evaluating the ZCS 4.5.11 open source edition and observed that in IE7 zimbra web client consumes too much memory and user is facing delays in geeting the responses on each user action.
I also observed that on every click of new tab like options memory usage is getting increased when seen i Task manager.
Has anyone seen or faced such a problem?
Do anyone has idea about its resolution in any higher versions of zimbra like 5.0 or any higher version?
Any help or pointer in this topic will be highly appreciated.
Thanking you in antcipation.

Review - Classic one-act farces refreshing but uneven
Published: Wednesday, January 8, 2014 at 1:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 8, 2014 at 1:19 p.m.
After not putting on a play in 2013, longtime Wilmington theater company ByChance Productions has gotten off to an unexpected start in 2014.
What: A Night of One-Act Farces – "The Bear," by Anton Chekhov, "The Stepmother" by Arnold Bennett and "Box and Cox" by J. M. Morton – presented by ByChance Productions
When: 8 p.m. Jan. 9-11 and 3 p.m. Jan. 12
Where: The Cape Fear Playhouse, 613 Castle St., Wilmington
Tickets: $10
Details: 367-5237
Founded by actor and playwright Tony Moore more than a decade ago, ByChance has almost exclusively existed to stage Moore's own lightly comedic, often family-centric work. Moore, however, moved to Charlotte several months ago, and in his absence his friends and cohorts Pamela Grier and Audrey McCrummen have brought ByChance out of its brief dormancy to stage a trio of 19th century, one-act farces at the Cape Fear Playhouse. Moore is listed as executive producer, while Grier directs and McCrummen is the show's technical director.
It's a fun idea – as far as I'm concerned, there are far too few productions of one-act plays in this town – but one that produces mixed results. One can't help coming away from the show without feeling that these works were rushed to the stage. Notice of their performance was made scarely a week before opening night, and no doubt a compressed timeline forced by the holidays didn't do the production any favors.
The evening opens with "The Bear," Anton Chekhov's comedic battle of the sexes about a grieving widow confronted with a desperate man who's owed money by her late husband. Terri Batson plays the widow, Elena (the characters' names have been Americanized, presumably to eliminate the need for Russian accents), and she captures well the character's misplaced sense of propriety. Even though her husband was a serial philanderer, she intends "to be faithful to the grave to show him what real love means."
Charles Auten plays the bear of the title – it's sometimes translated as "boor" – and his uncouth character's frantic indignation over having to wait for money he needs immediately can feel a little outsized as it tends to force the comedy instead of letting it happen naturally. Even so, there's some wonderfully goofy gunplay and Chekhov's observations on the often silly dance between the sexes remain as relevant as ever.
Play number two, Arnold Bennett's "The Stepmother," is the most successful of the three, largely because of Beth Raynor's performance as Christine Feversham, the scheming secretary to Brandy Jones' successful novelist, Cora Prout. Raynor has a chirpily subversive stage presence, and she's great at expressing a mischievousness thinly veiled by politeness that plays well again the barely contained neurosis displayed by Jones' romantically and professionally beleaguered writer.
The rest of the cast – Ron Hasson as the love-besotted Dr. Gardener and Anthony Corvino as Prout's reckless, ethically impaired stepson – help create the play's squirmy sense of intrigue while Grier's spot-on direction brings the play in to its satisfyingly cute resolution.
The evening ends with "Box and Cox," the classic farce by J.M. Morton about two lodgers who unwittingly share the same room (Cox works in the day, Box at night) thanks to a duplicitous landlady, Mrs. Bouncer (Grier), intent on getting double rent.
Langley McArol as the grumpy Box and Bradley Cox as the high-strung Cox have a decent rapport, but the play never achieves the breakneck pace or energy it needs, and the all-over-the-place accents (Cox takes on a heavy English accent, but no one else does) prove a distraction.
McCrummen's set is austere but serviceable, while Katie Allen has a nice eye for period costumes that help set the 19th century tone.
All in all, an uneven but moderately enjoyable evening.

CHICAGO (AP) - Members of the largest state employee union in Illinois and Gov. Pat Quinn's administration have reached a tentative contract agreement.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees said Thursday that a deal was reached after midnight. Quinn's office confirmed the agreement.
Further details of the agreement were not immediately available.
Negotiations between AFSCME and Quinn's office have been contentious and union members had started preparing for a strike.
The negotiations came as Quinn has been locked in several battles with AFSCME. The union opposes efforts to reduce their retirement benefits and increase their health insurance costs, which have been a central theme on pension overhaul talks. Also, the union is angry that Quinn withheld pay raises provided by the last contract.

This is a new activity thread, so it may take a couple of days to get into shape properly. Basically, each day, Corki (or a member of the Band's Senior Staff) will pick a song and then post a video/link to the original version, as well as a cover version, and all you have to do is post which is your favourite song of the two - the original or the cover. After a day, the votes will be counted, and the winning version will gain a point for either "original" or "cover". At the end of the month, which side has the most votes wins, and it will determine whether DM prefers originals or covers.
Additionally, any comments on the songs chosen are welcome - why you liked it, why you didn't, maybe there is another cover that you prefer. Anything and everything is welcome!
So without further a-do, let the competition begin!

I am using Thunderbird 2 on Vista to access my IMAP account with my company which is running ZCS 4.5.5 (open source) as its email server and have been using tags as my primary means of organizing my emails.
Up until now, I have been able to create and assign tags in Thunderbird without a problem, and they would show up in the Zimbra webmail as well (although if I made a tag in Thunderbird "The Tag", in the webmail it would show up as "the_tag".
However, I first noticed a problem when I tagged some emails and moved them into a saved messages folder that the tags would disappear. So in doing some investigating, it seems that any news tags I create in Thunderbird do not appear in the Zimbra webmail at all, and when I move the message with the newly created tag in my saved messages, the tags disappear.
Is there a way to manually sync tags between with Zimbra? How can I track down if this is a Thunderbird or Zimbra problem?
I searched previous posts for an answer but didn't see that anyone else even had a similar problem. I also searched Thunderbird's knowledge base but didn't find an answer and have a similar help request out on their forums.
Any help is appreciated.

Transcript by
Federal News Service
Washington, D.C.
KYLE PARKER: I'd like to welcome you all on behalf of Helsinki Commission
Chairman Senator Cardin and Co-chairman Representative Chris Smith and all of
our leadership to today's screening of "Age of Delirium."
We have a full length film ahead so I want to jump in and get this going right
quick. We are pleased to be joined not only by my good friend and renowned
Russian scholar David Satter, the filmmaker, but as well by Kevin Klose,
President and CEO of RFE/RL, and my colleague Paul Carter from the Department
of State. So we'll hopefully have a rich discussion following the film. I
encourage you all to participate.
This is an on-the-record event and will produce a government transcript. And
hopefully, following the film, there will be no shortage of topics to discuss.
There are handouts outside, bios and a few select articles. Our filmmaker,
David, who I'll turn it over to in a minute to introduce his work, is really
one of the deepest thinkers on Russia, he gets beneath the surface; has worked
Russia for decades, was FT's correspondent – I think his seriousness comes
across in the film. He's also a scholar at the Hudson Institute scholar and a
consultant to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. David produces incredible
scholarship on Russia. And there's a piece out there from, I believe, 2008,
called "Obama and Russia." I read it on the way over and it could have easily
been written yesterday as well as the piece from today on the Navalny trial,
which I assume an audience like this has read plenty about.
So without any further chatter, let me turn it over to David. And David, if
you could say a few words about the film, and then we'll push play, and jump
into the discussion following the movie.
DAVID SATTER: Well, thank you Kyle.
The film is based on the first book I wrote about Russia, which is "Age of
Delirium: The Decline and Fall of the Soviet Union." A copy of the book is
outside on the table, if anyone wants to take a look at it.
That book was the product of my six years as the Moscow correspondent to the
London Financial Times, during which, by the way, I worked closely with another
correspondent, my friend, Kevin Klose, who at that time was the Moscow
correspondent of the Washington Post. After the book was written, there were
people who read it and said that it should be a film. And through a very
circuitous route, I managed to complete it.
A friend of mine who works in opera said that in any production, the world has
to come to an end three times before the production is complete. Well, with
this, the world came to an end considerably more than three times. But we
actually got it done.
And we also have here the person who more than anyone else was responsible for
the fact that it didn't end in a total disaster and was actually – became a
finished film. And that's my friend, Nenad Pejic from Radio Liberty, who is
sitting next to Kevin there – (applause) – and whose good judgment and support
in a critical time – in fact; every would-be artist needs someone who has good
judgment. And Nenad has good judgment and saved the whole thing by lending it
his support.
Well, I think that we should at this point watch the movie and not waste a lot
of time on my talking to you, because after it's over, I hope we can talk about
the film and what it means, and – both what it means about history and for
history and its implications for the present day because Russia continues to be
important. And the countries of the former Soviet Union could…their fates
continue to have an impact on us. So without further ado, perhaps we can start
the film.
PARKER: Enjoy the movie.
(Movie plays.)
PARKER: Thank you all. We're going to rearrange here in just a minute, pull
the podium out and begin our discussion. When we move to Q&A, since we are
transcribing the event, I'll ask you to state your name and be clear so we can
get it into the record.
SATTER: I think I'll add that Kevin, unfortunately, has to leave for another
engagement. So maybe he can say a few words first.
PARKER: Of course. And as I mentioned at the outset, we're honored to be
joined by Kevin Klose. I didn't go too much in depth into his long and
impressive bio at the beginning, but he's the present and past president of
RFE/RL, a 25-year veteran of the Washington Post, former president of NPR,
director of the International Broadcasting Bureau at the U.S. Information
Agency. Kevin is also a professor of journalism at the University of Maryland,
a Russia scholar, author of "Russia and the Russians: Inside the Closed
We are really pleased to have you here. And it would be great if you could
kick off our reaction, share your impressions, perhaps an anecdote from your
days with David working the Soviet beat.
KEVIN KLOSE: Kyle, thank you very much. It's a an honor to be here, first of
all with you all, here in this great hearing room. And it's also a great honor
for me to be here again with David Satter.
We've known each other since we met completely by serendipity in the newsroom
of the Washington Post in 1967. That's quite a bit of time ago. We've had a
lot of time together since then, and I'm very pleased to say he's now a
consultant to Radio Freed Europe/Radio Liberty as we work with the Russian
Service and the other 27 other language services to bring us firmly into the
digital age, the age of multimedia.
This film of David's to me is tremendously powerful, not just about the past
but about what we face going forward in dealing with the aftermath of the
collapse of the Soviet Union, which is not, obviously, anywhere near its end.
The radios that I'm now part of once again deal with these kinds of issues in
the present day in the same way as we see it here today.
There are millions upon millions of people in the former Soviet Union who know
things about what had happened in the immediate past, that unless these
realities are brought forward and others can hear them, unless they can be
borne witness to across the societies in all their variations and cultures, the
future is going to be very perilous for them and consequently for the… I
believe for the national security interests of all the democracies.
We are not immune to the issues that still need to be addressed in that part of
the world. And there is no reason for us – no rational reason for any of us
here today, drawn together to look at this film, which is a witnessing of the
past, but the power of it is in the present. The moral of this tale is we must
– we must understand what has happened. We must dig deep, as deep as we can.
And as a friend of David's and a great admirer of his work, I honor him for the
work he's done to bring this forward in such a powerful and irresistibly
persuasive way.
Those are the remarks I have. David, thank you.
SATTER: Well, thank you, Kevin. Perhaps just before Kevin goes, does anyone
want to ask maybe one question directed to him, because he actually has a
crowded schedule and has to leave us – we'll then I hope entertain questions
from all – on all subjects, about the film, about the fall of the Soviet Union,
about Russia today, anything you want to ask or anything you're interested in.
PARKER: We have a mic here if anyone has a question for Kevin Klose before he
has to leave us.
KLOSE: I'm sorry. I should footnote that I spend most of my time now in
Prague, which is where Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is headquartered. My
time in Washington is relatively short, and so I'm really apologetic for having
agreed to be here with you and then finding that my schedule is not going to
let me do that. I want to thank you all for coming and the questions you have.
SATTER: There is a question in the back. Yes.
PARKER: Please.
Q: Can I use the mic?
PARKER: Sure. That would be great.
Q: Hi. I'm Shelly Han with the Helsinki Commission.
SATTER: Hi.
Q: I was interested in hearing – please excuse my ignorance if this is
something that's obvious – but what is your agency doing to help document what
happened and perhaps creating that record and sharing that record with the
KLOSE: That's a good – very good question. We are – as you may know, we're a
private, non-profit private corporation formed in the early 1950s. We're a
grantee of the U.S. government and we're an independent source of uncensored
news and information into the region of the former Soviet Union and parts of
First of all, we were very pleased to – prior to my return to the radio's
management in the immediate past, support the production of this documentary
and we assisted David with a great deal of technical support and production
support, which is also a matter of creativity and intellectual continuity to
bring hundreds of hours of tape that he has of his interviews.
For us, directly, I can tell you, for example, just in the past week, we were
able to do live video from the courtroom where Navalny was first convicted and
handcuffed and marched off to detention and the next day released in the same
courtroom in Kirov, 1,000 kilometers from Moscow where there were
demonstrations – they weren't huge but they were tense – on the streets of
Moscow. We were there also with live video coverage, fully uncensored and
fully made available to anyone who wished to use the content, which I will say
to you was used in part by some independent minded Moscow television channels,
which cut away to take live coverage and fully credit Liberty, Radio Liberty's
Russian service for bringing this to them. They were not covering it
In addition more than a dozen services at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty also
used live excerpts and produced excerpts afterwards to put out to their
listeners, their viewers, their readers and their Internet interlocutors.
I think that's the wave of the future. This is attesting and bearing witness
to history being made today. We do that very powerfully. Thank you.
PARKER: Thank you, Kevin, again for joining us today. And our hats are off to
you and all your colleagues at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty for covering
this important part of the world so well. The coverage is superb. The
coverage has been indispensable. And it's something I look forward every
morning, to the e-mails and the updates and the news stories that are posted on
the site, really top-notch journalism.
KLOSE: Thank you so much. It's a delight to be here. And forgive me. I beg
your pardon.
PARKER: Thanks again.
KLOSE: Thank you. David, congratulations. (Applause.)
PARKER: Before moving on, jumping into questions, I'd like to introduce our
lead discussant, Paul Carter, who is currently serving as senior State
Department adviser at the U.S. Helsinki Commission.
We'll be losing Paul in just a few short days. He'll be headed off to be the
Director for Eurasia at the Assistance Office of the European Bureau at the
Department of State. It's been a great year with Paul, he's really been an
incredible asset to the commission. Paul has served in a number of interesting
Most relevant for our discussion today is his service at Embassy Moscow as well
as at the Department's Ukraine desk. And reaching back further into the past,
in the mid-'80s, Paul was an exchange student, one of two American political
scientists studying at Moscow's State University in 1985 and86, where Paul
began work that ended up as a book published on the ideology of Mikhail Suslov.
So Paul is uniquely credentialed to help kick off our discussion today. Paul,
will you take it from here?
PAUL CARTER: Thank you very much, Kyle. It is really an honor to be here with
David for the showing of his film. What year was the film made, David?
SATTER: From 2006 until 2011, on and off.
CARTER: OK. I think it's a fascinating film. It really captures the sadness,
the sometime horror and the always surreal quality of life in the Soviet Union.
As Kyle mentioned, I was an IREX exchange scholar in 1985-86; lived at Moscow
State University, you know, the Stalin-scraper there in Moscow, and lived with
the Soviet students and our other exchange scholars.
And I always thought that, in so many ways, if one never lived in the Soviet
Union or in a communist country, it's not something one can fully understand.
It's something one must live through to see what it's about.
Now, David's film today, of course, offers a glimpse into that world -- and the
many people who testify and speak from the heart and from their own experience
about what life was like, he captures it in so many different ways.
What's great for me is his approach to the ideology and to show it from so many
different angles. My own academic work also was an approach at this but more
from the top-down, as it were.
We saw many times in the film people talking about the ideology.
Marxism-Leninism was in many ways a form of an ersatz religion, and I think we
see that captured here. The Soviet Union was what we might call an
"ideocracy," a system based on an ideology. We never really used to hear that
much about the model of ideocracy back during the Soviet period when people
were studying it in the West. A few scholars touched on this, but it wasn't
widely accepted. Partly that was due to the fact that leftist scholars,
Marxists, didn't want to accept the USSR as a legitimate version of Marxism.
And for others, it was a question of their focus on the question, did they
believe the ideology or not? Many people would answer, no they didn't believe
The real question though isn't really did they believe it or not because we
don't know what the leadership at the time believed. We don't know what people
like Brezhnev and Suslov, when they looked at the mirror at 3 o'clock in the
morning, what did they really say to themselves?
More important was the question what role did the ideology play? And people,
whether they've had an emotional attachment to it or psychological, the fact is
that they had to act as if they believed.
And in the end, the leadership lost the will to enforce that, to force people
to act as if they believed. My own work, as Kyle said, was on Suslov, the
chief ideologist of the party. Suslov died in January of 1982. Brezhnev died
in November, eleven months later. I have argued that when Suslov died the
ideology went with him. Suslov was the last enforcer who ensured people acted
as if they believed in the ideology. After that, Gorbachev came in.
Gorbachev began to change the perspective and came up with the idea of reformed
communism. I think Gorbachev himself was very deeply affected by Chernobyl and
the fact that he wasn't getting information at the time. I was in Moscow when
Chernobyl went up and we watched happy pictures on television of Ukrainian
farmers plowing the fields and putting in the crop, you know, for a week, even
though we were hearing on the short wave that the cloud of radiation was going
all over the place. And I think that Gorbachev himself was a victim of that
big lie and didn't get that information. And that influenced him to introduce
the idea of glasnost, after which began a freer flow of information.
And then the system began to crumble. Molotov, one of Stalin's men, once said
that there's a reformed communism and then there's real communism. Indeed,
there's really no such thing as a reformed communist. It can't survive and it
fell apart. And in the end, it did. It collapsed, as David showed so well in
his film.
Two – finally, two takeaways from this that I see. One, as Kevin Klose talked
about, was the overcoming of the Soviet legacy. Of all the things that the
communists did to Russia, the terror, all the people that died, what they did
to the economy, all these things, but the one lasting thing was the moral decay
of the society.
the communists taught that there was no God, there was no religion, there was
no morality other than what the party said. And eventually, that deteriorated
into every person must kill, lie, cheat, steal, whatever to get along. And
that legacy is very hard to overcome. It survives for many, many years. And
Russia has not had an accounting, of a laying bare of the Soviet past. We
still see people today who praise Stalin or look back with nostalgia on the
Soviet era without having a real accounting of what happened.
But also, there is another lesson, not only for Russia itself, you know, to
come to terms with these things, but also a lesson for the world. And that for
me is the danger of ideology and ideological thinking. I really thought that
when the Soviet Union collapsed that we would see the end of that kind of
ideology and people being subject to that.
I think we have in the sense of these grand systems, of Marxism, etc., but yet,
even today, in our own society, oftentimes people fall into ideological
thinking and are quick to rush to judgment on things. And so it's always a
lesson, the danger of that. The Russians were no different than anybody else
in the end. And it could happen anywhere. So it's something that we have to
always be on guard against.
And with that, I'm going to turn it back over and open it up to questions.
PARKER: Thank you, Paul. Let's open it up wide. Everybody's sat patiently,
so please step right up with questions. Just identify yourself so we have it
for the record. And also feel free to make a statement. We can be fairly
loose on this and have some time to have a discussion. Katya, could you –
Q: I'll be loud. Is this loud enough?
PARKER: You know, it might be loud enough. It's just that our transcriber is
listening through a mic. so it's better if you come up here.
Q: It's a very different side of the room. Thank you. Very interesting
briefing or screening.
I'm sorry, My name is Katya Migacheva. I'm the lead fellow on the Tom Lantos
Human Rights Commission. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm also
originally from Russia Wwatching the film, I realized I'm very lucky to have
been born in 1980 so I was of conscious age when the changes happened. And I
had a good time in one system and good time in another system, meaning that I
had time to be educated in one and time to be educated in another, and then,
immigration to the United States, so all kinds of worlds. So I felt fortunate.
I also felt very emotional watching the film. I greatly appreciate your
efforts to dig deeper.
I have a question for you. You've lived in Russia, it sounds like, for a
while. And you studied Russia for a while – and both of you and also the
previous speaker as well. In terms of your remarks about overcoming this
heritage and moving forward despite it or with it.
How do you think – what do you think – what challenges do you think Russia has
because of these challenges… in addition or besides the mentality that you have
to cheat and lie that you just mentioned, which is a whole other piece of
propaganda, social propaganda when not only the survival piece where you have
to cheat and lie and tell on your neighbor but also the piece when we are all
contributing to the society. And that was – that was the one that was clearly
taught. That was the one – that was the clear, clean message, not the hidden
one. So that part we're losing as well with the disintegration of the Soviet
And how do you move in – how do we move forward with the grief of the lost
system, because for many people, as you know, it's a huge loss? Even those who
lost their parents and grandparents to the Stalinist regime, they still
remember the system with nostalgia. I guess this is one of your points, we
need to reveal these things, but also the idea that we need a strong grip. We
need a strong fist to be able to survive in our society.
So I'm rambling a little bit, but putting all these things together, how do you
see Russia moving forward? And how should we from the United States, what
patience should we have? When should we expect results and what type of
pressure should we apply reasonably?
PARKER: Thank you, Katya. David?
SATTER: Thank you, Katya. Actually, the answer is not so complicated. The
problem with Russia, in my view, after many years of being there, is that the
individual has no value, and particularly compared to the goals of the state.
Under those circumstances, the idealization of state power creates a situation
in which individuals are treated as raw material for the achievement of
political ends. That's the reason why everyone cheats and lies because they've
been taught that their individual identity counts for nothing.
And into those circumstances, they don't feel a sense of individual obligation,
of individual conscience, of individual identity. They don't believe that
their personality is important, that they're in some way different, that
they're in some respects inviolable.
So, after all, there's no logical reason not to just grab. And that mentality
can only be changed under conditions in which Russians and other people who
lived in the Soviet Union realistically assess their history and abandon myths
about the past and understand what they've come out of.
As for the U.S. or for the other countries in the West, we can be helpful to
the degree that we help to clarify this problem, but the difficulty is that
very few people in the West understand it either. I mean, they don't
understand Russia because it's hard to extend themselves – it's hard for us,
members of a pragmatic and a problem-solving society, to understand a society
like Russia, in which millions of people are subordinated to some type of
political ideal they don't understand.
So in effect, there's a certain amount of intellectual work that has to be done
in both places. Most of all, of course, it's the responsibility of the
Russians themselves to understand who they are and what it is. Russians don't
understand the root of their problem. This is the difficulty. They understand
that things are bad, but they don't understand why they're bad. And the best
way to help them is to try to show them why things are bad. And the best way
they can help themselves is to restore the position of the individual. And you
can only do that if you really honor those who were victims of the regime and
you face realistically the story of the past.
PARKER: Thank you, David. We have another question over here.
Q: Thank you. My name is Tanel Sepp, I'm from the Embassy of Estonia. And
I'm going to say you have organized this event on a really historic day because
73 years ago then acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles made the declaration
of not recognizing the occupation of the Baltic States. So congratulations on
I have a fairly simple question. What is – in your view, what could be then
the goal of the present Russian leadership? I mean, there are so many
different variables there. And one thing that I absolutely agree with you is
this – how we see it is a need to overcome the Soviet legacy, but at the same
time, sometimes this is especially used in ideological terms.
SATTER: So what is the goal of the Russian leadership? What are they after?
Q: Yes.
SATTER: That's actually a very easy question to answer. They're after –
PARKER: Or what should it be.
SATTER: Or what should it be is a different story; what it is and what it
should be. They're after preserving their monopoly on power and wealth, and
the entire foreign policy of Russia is organized on that basis. And they don't
have any other goals.
All of their efforts to, you know, resurrect the myth of the great Russian
state or resurrect the idea of the great Russian state is only because they
fear that their selfishness and their greed will be exposed and they need
something to convince people that something else is at stake and to distract
them from the way in which they're misruled.
PARKER: Please.
Q: Gerald Chandler. I'd like you to follow on on that. How long will it
last? Will it last one election, two elections, 25 years?
PARKER: Thank you, Gerald.
Q: And I just repeat the question. The question is – I'll just state my
opinion. People get tired of a government. We have Navalny there now
representing some small fraction of the population who are tired of the
government. Is it a fraction that is bigger than it appears, because there's
many, many people who don't want to speak up, or how big is it? And how many
years will it take until another Gorbachev comes along and the whole thing
PARKER: Thank you.
SATTER: I don't know– it won't last forever, but it, you know…because all of
the tendencies toward disintegration. The regime is becoming more corrupt, not
less. The ruling circle has become narrower – is becoming narrower. Positions
of privilege and power are being passed on to the children of those who have
them now rather than being opened up for general competition.
The atmosphere in the country is becoming more stifling. The level of
political repression is becoming greater. At the same time, the country is
becoming more educated, has more experience of the outside world. And a
generation has grown up that is more capable of functioning in a democratic
society than possibly any previous Russian generation.
So under those circumstances, an eventual collision is inevitable. When it
will happen and under what circumstances is hard to predict. It will depend on
many factors. But this regime, by virtue of its sheer greed and the many, many
crimes and secrets that it conceals, cannot last indefinitely, and it can't –
those people in power would like to rule forever, but they won't be able to.
PARKER: Please jump in, Paul.
CARTER: Yeah. I think it's a – if we can borrow a term from the Marxists – a
question of contradictions here. We saw how the Soviet regime took a nation of
essentially illiterate peasants and created an educated cadre of people,
scientists and engineers and so on. And eventually, those people came to see
that the ideology was just simply illogical and that created the rot at the
core of the system.
And today, what we see is the growth of the Russian economy, a lot of it built
on energy and so on, but other industries as well, and a new middle class is
being created. But that middle class, at some point, as David says, they'll
become fed up with the corruption at the top. And that's what Navalny and
others are all about.
This is a very interesting phenomenon to see in the last two, three years or
so. Before that, if you talked about opinion in Russia, you were talking about
what's the Kremlin thinking about? But in the last two or three years, you've
seen suddenly this – the streets of Moscow with all these people turning out
and saying no. They aren't the ones that talk. That's not the only opinion.
This is our opinion. And they're becoming disgusted with it.
Nobody knows how long change will take. That's the lesson of the Arab Spring,
of course, that, you know, there's just these flash points and then things just
Now we don't know whether that will happen in Russia. People before the Orange
Revolution in Ukraine always said that the Ukrainians were a lot of sheep.
They'll never do anything. And then, of course, that just took off. So you
never know how these things will go. But at some point, the contradictions
will catch up with them.
PARKER: Please.
Q: First off, thank you very much for organizing this event. My name is Ali
Down (sp). I'm just a simple intern with the Office of Congressman Robert
Brady. My question today is what if any aspects of Soviet society or Soviet
era mentality continue to exist in modern day Russia?
PARKER: Thank you.
SATTER: Well, you know, I have a friend in Moscow by the name of Vladimir
Voinovich. Maybe you've heard of him some of you. He's a writer, a satirical
writer. He said there's nothing left of the Soviet Union except the Soviet
man. And the problem – there's been tremendous change. I mean, Russia today
is incomparably freer than the Soviet Union was.
But the same disregard for the individual, the same notion that the fate of a
person is really unimportant compared to greater goals, the goals of the state,
the goals of society, or even the goals of those in power who are anxious to
accumulate wealth, and that's the same as it's always been. And until that
changes, Russia will never really be free.
PARKER: Please.
Q: Again, thank you all very much for this. It's absolutely fascinating. I'm
Peter Hickman. I'm a former USIA Foreign Service officer, although I was never
in the Soviet Union and that part of the world. But my question is hard to ask
because I think it has a lot of answers but you've all touch on it in your
answers. Putin made this famous statement when Soviet Union collapsed,
something to the effect that it is the greatest socio-political disaster –
SATTER: Geopolitical. Geopolitical.
Q: Geopolitical. And people in response to that said, no, the greatest
geopolitical disaster was the creation of the Soviet Union. (Laughter.) But
my question is and I think you've all answered it in parts, and Mr. Klose as
well, what was the reaction to that statement at the time in the Soviet Union,
and how is it today?
SATTER: In Russia – in Russia, no more Soviet Union –
Q: Well, that's right. I mean, but –
SATTER: Soviet Union is gone.
Q: Well, are you sure?
PARKER: Thank you.
SATTER: Well, nobody reacted much, but the Russian leaders love the word
"geopolitical." They remind me of certain people in our country who also love
the word "geopolitical." They use it constantly about everything, even though
it has nothing – it has no relationship to anything. They love the word
because as soon as they start talking about geopolitical, then the word
"moral," "ethical," "legal," all those other words drop out because we're
talking about geopolitical – something real, not all this namby-pamby stuff
about obeying the law, respecting people, you know, not assassinating them, not
torturing them, all of which is certainly, has nothing to do with the
geopolitical interests of this or that.
And for that reason, when Putin said that the fall of the Soviet Union was the
greatest geopolitical tragedy of this country, he was being completely
consistent and all of the listeners and the foreign policy apparatus of Russia,
at least those who don't think much or at least who were, you know, anxious to
make their careers, and all of their counterparts over here thought that, well,
that maybe is a reasonable statement or maybe there's something to it. Of
course, it's absolute nonsense.
But you know, in a sense Putin reflects what happened in the Soviet Union.
When in a nation in which no one counts for anything, the only way in which
people are distinguished from each other is their level of power. And once a
person acquires power – first of all, he'll do anything to get it.
And second of all, once he acquires power, he won't recognize any limits on his
acquisitiveness. Either his material greed, the tactics he's willing to use in
order to stay in power, and all of this comes from the fact that, you know, a
degraded individual really can't develop an ethical framework for himself, a
sense of personal identity and conscience. And that's because that was the
process to which millions of people were subjected in the Soviet Union.
You know, it's not surprising that if someone like Putin becomes president and
he acts in a manner that is typical of someone who has no moral orientation at
all, is just pursuing wealth, power, and self-preservation. And if we
criticize him, we have to recognize the fact that there're millions of other
people in his place who would – who – in the Soviet Union, who have gone
through this, who would act in exactly the same way.
I think that there are nonetheless some encouraging things. And mostly the
fact that despite all of these pressures, there are some people who didn't
succumb to them, and there's a growing number of people in the Soviet Union, in
other countries of the Soviet Union – I mean, in Russia, other countries of the
former Soviet Union who, nonetheless, despite all this pressure, have developed
a moral sense and are willing to support and fight for decent values. And I've
argued in what I've written that it ought to be a principle of American foreign
policy in dealing with that part of the world to support them.
PARKER: Thank you, David. Your moral clarity is always refreshing and
sometimes even entertaining.
SATTER: I try. (Laughter.)
PARKER: Especially your exegesis on the empty word geopolitical. I couldn't
agree more.
If I may just share a few reactions. This is my second or third time watching
the film and a few different things stand out. For me, it starts somewhat
nostalgic as I see these pictures of the '70s because, you know, I married into
the Soviet family, and so some of those photos of camping and the beach in
during the Brezhnev era, they almost evoke a pleasant feeling for a past I only
know through pictures and stories.
And then there's this stark, just gruesome, fearful image of this 11-year-old
boy on the roof eating weeds in famine-stricken Ukraine, millions dead. Or as
Paul mentioned the legacy of Stalin and sort of the glorification of him now in
certain quarters, and even, perhaps most disturbingly among the youth. I guess
this runs a little counterintuitive to those who naively thought that the
Internet or the iPhone or whatever modern gadget would somehow bring morality.
But what to me is even more disturbing, that moment in the film when
Shatravkawhen he confronts the nurse. It's two Russias staring each other in
the face and looking completely past each other. And to me this is all the
more disturbing for its insidiousness. It's hidden. This nurse doesn't even
understand what he's talking about – this nurse doesn't understand what he's
talking about. She can't grasp the depth of pain in Shatravka who's
essentially confronting the killer of his brother, a woman who might be a
neighbor who is free, just walking around. And again, David, your commentary
in the end about how are these people are to be held to account, about what is
appropriate, just.
I remember my own confusion up in Arctic Russia where I spent some time in
Vorkuta, in Ukhta, which was essentially a big prison camp. And I asked
questions, again, to people like that nurse, and they couldn't even understand.
Others, of course, were happy to tell about the rehabilitation of their
relatives and share their files. But those people who didn't understand, who
remembered, but weren't moved –I guess for me it's confusing.
So David, this is my question to you, the truth is available in Russia and it
is not the 1930s. And yet, it isn't – in some areas, it really isn't very good
and in some areas you can even attempt to draw certain moral comparisons. I
think back to the 1999 apartment bombings, which many and serious people
believe were orchestrated by the regimeas the pretext to start the second
Chechen war, the rise of Putin, the underpinnings of the modern Russian state,
which was most recently our reset partner, though I guess we don't use the
term. We do seem to have stuck largely to the policy though.
You know, we're talking here about deliberate murder of hundreds of Russians in
their sleep. And I'm not prepared to say it happened that way, but I know
there are very serious people who've examined the evidence and the fact is it
remains a big open question. Does this not approache something of the morality
of the 1930s and the willingness to commit such crimes.
And again, not to ramble, my question is why wasn't this truth that is out
there if you looked for it more powerful? You can find books and you can read
these things, and it almost seems to have lost its power. Why wasn't it the
cleansing wave that washed everything away and made everything anew?
SATTER: Yeah. Well, first of all because it was partial and it was basically
used – the truth in Russia was used for political purposes. In the late '80s,
people were fascinated by history and anxious to learn the truth about history
when it could be used as a weapon against the old regime, which was the
communist regime.
Once that regime fell, independent interest in commemorating the victims or
investigating the past almost disappeared. In the late 1980s, there were
pedestals and plinths established all over Russia, in Russian cities, saying on
this site there will be a memorial to the victims of Stalinism, the victims of
communism. Now there's nothing left, just the pedestals, just the plinths.
The memorials were never built.
As far as the apartment bombings are concerned, I'm one of those who, as you
may or may not know, who has argued that, in fact – and I believe the evidence
in reality is overwhelming, that it was through an act of terror that Putin
came to power. And that's not the only act of terror. What about the decision
to open fire with heavy weapons on the children who were the hostages in Beslan
in 2004, or the decision to pump a theater with 1,000 hostages full of lethal
gas without making any effort really to prepare to rescue the victims?
And it all stems from the same thing, that the individual just doesn't count
for anything. And in particular – and he is particularly insignificant
compared to the goals of the regime. So therefore, if it's necessary – of
course, we are not dealing with a situation such as that, which existed in
1937, nearly a million people were shot straight out, and another – well, it
was 700,000 and then another equal – were shot – and roughly the same number
were arrested and sent to labor camps, where they quickly died.
It's not that scale, but the situation could, given that mentality, become very
bad in the future. Right now, the regime is not seriously threatened, but as
the situation deteriorates, given that mentality, anything is possible.
PARKER: Thank you. And I certainly don't mean to draw a direct comparison to
the sheer numbers of murder victims of the 1930s. I guess to me, though, to
avoid the danger of proportionalism, the notion that a person who kills 1,000
is much worse than the person who's prepared to kill 100 – certainly, in terms
of the sheer volume of human suffering visited on the people. But the
willingness to cross those lines, the notion that the person is not important
enough, a means not an end that can be sacrificed for other goals.
I've mentioned just how profound – and it's on great display here today - David
gets on Russia. You know, when I'm not reading David's work or maybe Leon
Aron's work, I often find myself reading our very own Librarian of Congress,
Jim Billington, himself a renowned Russia historian and scholar. I brought
along his book from – I don't know, maybe it's already about a decade ago,
"Russia in Search of Itself."
And this passage comes to mind as relevant to our discussion. I'll read it
into the transcript as perhaps an appropriate way to end, maybe on a dark note,
an acknowledgement that there's no easy answer. Dr. Billington's talking here
about denial and this painful history. "The only part" – he says, and I quote
– "the only part that has been fully acknowledged and honored by public
monuments is the suffering caused by foreign foes. Yet just as much suffering
was inflicted on them by themselves, and over a longer period of time.
This condition of denial impacts on a society in ways that can never be
understood, let alone remedied, by roundtable discussions—even those that may
someday be convened after all the mass graves and buried documents have been
unearthed. Words alone will never provide a roadmap into a happy future for
those who once thought they stood on a mountain. They now know there is no
easy way out of their valley and that the shadow of massive, innocent death
still hangs over it." End quote.
These are haunting words and capture the difficulty of this moment where the
people of Russia find themselves and how to deal with this shameful, ugly,
confusing and not even fully known past. And so we add yet another roundtable
discussion, as it were, to this attempt.
It's 5 o'clock comrades, and everybody looks a little tired. So I think I'll
wrap it up.
Again, I want to thank you all for coming and participating. I want to
especially thank Jackie Cahan, who helped David and I to put this event
together. I also suggest to all of you to keep an eye on our website. We have
other interesting events coming up. We'll take a little bit of break in
August, as it's customary up here on the Hill, but should have a robust program
in the fall, particularly on Russia.
I hope we'll finally have a serious Russia hearing and as well other briefings.
One we have planned is a survey of U.S.-Russian relations over the centuries.
This should provide an interesting perspective here in congress on the hills
and valleys and understand what we've seen before and where we've been before
in this important relationship with Russia.
With that, I close the record and thank you all for coming. (Applause.)
[Whereupon, at 5:04 p.m., the meeting was adjourned.]

The Cooperative Zum Goldenen Schäfli was founded on 17 June 1978 and got down to work on the building straight away. The guildhall with its Gothic ceiling and sloping floor feels like the sole survivor of a bygone era. One extra that was installed during the renovation work is the magnificent 18th century tiled stove, complete with stove-side "snuggery". One cannot help but be affected by the atmosphere of this room. The Schudel family and their dedicated team have been running the Goldene Schäfli as a restaurant since 1 May 1979.
Our highlightThe Schäfli specializes in good old-fashioned cooking. Which is why a fine Cordon Bleu and fillet of beef are firm fixtures on the menu here.

I waited two months to get this and it was well worth it. The finish is amazing and it was setup perfectly right out of the box. No fret buzz, minimal hum, and it plays like a dream. Good choice for a warm 'brown' lead rock tone. I was especially impressed by how smooth the kahler system is. I love this guitar!

While the color of your nails is important to your overall look, even the most beautiful shade cannot improve the look of nails that are misshapen and uneven.
