Thank you. Greetings, comrades, and welcome to the eastern border.

As you can see, we're trying something different today, since I interviewed one Igor Vladimir Lipsitz, who was born in 18th of March, 1950, and he's a Russian academic economist and a marketing expert and a scientific head of the Department of Marketing

and then we took quite a lot of time to transcribe everything accurately.

Make a dub version of this, and this is my first attempt at this.

There was a lot of effort, but I hope it will pay off, because I would like to do such things in the future a bit more.

I hope that you will find this interesting.

And now, let's get on with the show.
