Name is familiar. Is he Gorby’s translator.
Long time old school commie “news” personality. Shilled for the commies his whole life until the USSR collapsed. Then got a gig with Phil Donahue on cable and was never questioned about his support for Siberian prison camps and political detention.
Pozner was a Soviet propagandist who made the rounds of America in the 1980s, telling us all about the wonders of communism and how happy and content the Soviet people were with their communist paradise, all the while blaming America for every aspect of the Cold War.
Phil Donahue was captivated and was ever eager to sit for long periods being lectured by Pozner with the cameras rolling.
He instantly evaporated the nano-second the Soviet Union fell. I thought we’d never hear from him again.
I remember his English was flawless.
A daily regular on Radio Moscow back in the day. “Vladimir Posner & His Daily Talk.”
