Native speech.
Halts of the president.
Last foreign voyage Boris Yeltsin - to Sweden, has shown, that
To the services preparing visits of the president, all becomes more difficult with it
To consult.
About the state visit of the president of Russia to Sweden newspaper Chicago
Tribune has written literally the following: "Boris Yeltsin becomes more and more
It is similar to the big elephant behind whom the presidential has not time to clean
The command ".
In Stockholm hardly it was necessary first of all to Sergey Yastrzhembsky and
To Evgenie Primakov. The Press-secretary of the president had to show, as
One Swedish newspaper, "miracles of verbal acrobatics", that has noticed
To explain, what exactly the president wished to tell. It Was possible far not
Always.
In Sweden Yeltsin has again pulled to reduce warheads. He has informed, that
Russia is ready to lower their quantity on third. After that statements not
Only Yastrzhembsky, but also always unperturbable Primakov have changed countenance. And
There and then publicly have begun to co-ordinate with each other comments to
To performance of the president. As a result Yastrzhembsky has found the formula: "In performance
Yeltsin prospects of reduction of a world nuclear arsenal, and that contained
Under certain conditions ".
Yeltsin's other statements to soften it was even more difficult. For example, it
Has appropriated Japan and Germany the nuclear power status. Tell, that after
It the correspondent of one of the Russian news agencies in a panic
Has rushed to Yastrzhembsky: "As it to pass?!". The Press-secretary confusedly
Has responded: a pier, maybe, we will replace Japan with the Great Britain, and Germany
In general we will lower?.
In completion to all Yeltsin has promised not to be at war with Sweden "on the extreme
To measure those two and a half a year, that it remains at the power ". That is in 2000
To year - in commemoration of 300-year-old anniversary of the beginning of Northern war -
Probably, it is possible will and do some fighting it is a little. This passage Yastrzhembsky at all
Began to make comments.
One source in the Russian delegation has told, that at night, after
The first day of the visit, the nearest environment of the president quickly
Was going to to discuss, what to do. The formulation has been thought up:
"The president has got tired" to which Yastrzhembsky explained then all.
When Yeltsin declared next day, that Russia in unilateral
Order reduces the overland and sea groupings in the northwest on
40 %, anybody any more did not know, how it to understand - as large razoruzhencheskuju
The initiative or as the next display of weariness.
Recently any departure of the president abroad becomes big
Test for its environment. And to avoid it it is impossible - despite the fact that
That over each visit hundreds people work.
As a rule, one year prior to a trip the Ministry of Foreign Affairs prepares all help materials
-- From theses of performances and toasts to the program of the so-called female
Visit parts (for the spouse accompanying the president).
For one and a half-two month to a host country goes so-called
obletnaja group. Employees of Security service of the president enter into it,
Services of the report, the press-service and administrative office. They make
The approximate visit schedule, co-ordinate it with local representatives,
Define a president residence place. After returning obletnoj groups
The program is corrected in Moscow already with Yeltsin's participation. Its detailed
Completion is included into problems of the advanced group which are taking off for 7-10 days prior to
The visit beginnings.
The administrative office of the president prepares residence for Yeltsin. By the way,
One of most often arising problems is a bed. As told
To the correspondent employees of management, because of its Yeltsin's big growth
Happens difficultly enough to pick up. For example, in hotel "Breners
Park-hotel "where the president lived during stay in Baden-Baden, a bed
It was necessary to change: to the Yeltsin standard of length 210 sm to it has not sufficed 20
See
The security service plans routes for a train. Security guards can
To recommend to Yeltsin to refuse visiting of any object, if they
Are not assured of its safety. So, in particular, was in China: to the president
Have advised against to go on factory on which shortly before that has occurred
Failure.
The service of the report to within a minute paints all the days long visit.
Makes the scenario in which the structure of delegations at all negotiations is specified
And meetings, time of the beginning and the end of actions, the clothes form. The report should
To consider ceremonial customs of the country. Here, by the way, there are punctures. In
Baden-Baden after delivery to Yeltsin Germans have solved awards Media Control
To spend a banquet in the form of a buffet. And, probably, have forgotten to warn about
It a Russian side. And Yeltsin has not got used to go itself behind meal.
The eyewitness told so: "Have come, have sat down to table. We sit five minutes,
Ten, twenty - bear nothing. On the main table, where Boris Nikolaevich
With Nainoj Iosifovnoj, too. All meal costs on separate tables. It appears,
Behind it to go it is necessary! Present: Boris Nikolaevich has risen and with a plate behind meal
Has gone! Well, Shevchenko (the head of service protokola.-) the waiter took for
grudki, all to it has explained - began to carry... ".
But any, even the most careful, preparation does not rescue from the Yeltsin
Impromptus. And Yeltsin's regal unwillingness to go behind meal here is perfect
At anything. Has put, first, in propensity of the president to staging of all,
That it does. And secondly, that it would be possible to name the computer
Failure.
Sometimes it seems, that the report is necessary to Yeltsin only that
Publicly it to break. Against boring formalities its miniperformances for
Publics of which success he is sincerely convinced, really look brightly.
It is enough to recollect, how he has forced to wait for the king of Sweden, yet has not reconciled
Before Nemtsov's television cameras with Vyahirev.
Yeltsin hates visits through passage. And, on the contrary, very much likes
It the created myth about exclusive ability of the president "to split
Gordian knots "to which diplomats give in. It is pleasant to it it is indicative
"To correct errors" subordinates. So, in 1996 in Norway, on
To meeting with businessmen, Yeltsin used as the whipping boy
Then first vice-premier Oleg Soskovets. The president has been convinced, that
Solves a serious international problem. Deification of a meeting became such
Dialogue:
"How to believe businessmen of Russia if we have signed the contract on four
The dry-cargo ship and during the latest moment have told is not present. Whether see, we this
The contract is destroyed, as such dry-cargo ships are necessary to us! But who with
Us, such shopkeepers, will trade?! If we speak today one,
Tomorrow - another, Oleg Nikolaevich? I charge these four dry-cargo ships to give
Norway, and all. Certainly, it is necessary for us, but a word at the businessman who is engaged
Trade, - the law! Give and do not sin! Have understood? ""Yes", - kislo smiling,
Soskovets has nodded. "Is louder!" - "yes, Boris Nikolaevich". - "Heard? He has understood!".
Yeltsin prepares for visits not less carefully, than the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and administration.
But alters preparations after the own fashion, simplifying them to a limit. It gives
It effektnost. The Head of department of administration of the president on communications with
The public Michael Margelov: "The impromptus the president helps
To simple people to understand the international initiatives, translating them in the clear
Plane ".
It Yeltsin's some strange statements - it simply also speak
Cuts boring and not clear specifications like "after the coordination","at
Condition "etc. Also speaks how, for example, it was in Paris on
Signing of the certificate Russia - NATO: "I Wish to tell... All those who sits at it
Table... All warheads "Act in film. Then victoriously inspects
Present and with a solemn smile has a seat on the place, expecting
Applause.
Similar actions strongly complicate a life to the Russian diplomats. As
Have informed sources in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, razoruzhencheskie initiatives, with which
Yeltsin has acted in Sweden, for foreign policy department were full
Unexpectedness.
All who ever worked with Yeltsin, assure, that at it perfect
Memory. The president easily remembers figures and great volumes of the information and
Sometimes even amazes the environment with knowledge of a problem. The assistant to the president
On the international questions Sergey Prihodko cannot forget till now
Case when at a meeting with the secretary general of the United Nations Kofi Annan speech has suddenly come about
Ecology and Yeltsin in detail, "without any instruction", has told that was
It is made by Russia in this area for last three years.
Speech writers of the president confirm: the president can on memory
To retell the text which saw only once.
Probably, it indeed. But recently Yeltsin's memory, probably,
Began to suppose failures. It is too overloaded and, just as the computer,
Instead of a demanded file gives out sometimes absolutely another.
Cooperation in was one of the subjects discussed during visit to China,
Fuel and energy area: there the most part of apartment houses is heated
Coal. This fact has been reflected in the inquiry prepared for visit. And Yeltsin
It has remembered and has reproduced. However, not in China, and in Sweden, directly having declared
To Swedes, that it it is time to stop to heat the houses coal. Amazed Swedes,
Refused coal still in the forties, could not believe to the ears. There
In Sweden, Yeltsin has suddenly recollected the Soviet-Finnish war - having forgotten, it is necessary
To believe, that is not in Helsinki, and in Stockholm (shortly before that in
Moscow there came Finnish president Marti Ahtisaari).
After such failures the first blow on itself is accepted by Sergey Yastrzhembsky. It
Explains to everything, that actually the president meant not coal, and
"Nuclear fuel". Feverishly try to soften consequences of the Yeltsin
Initiatives and diplomats.
It is possible not too well. Till now the West excused much to Yeltsin -
By a principle "what to take from big Russian bear?". But a tonality
The western publications varies - with puzzled on humiliating.
The question about mental Yeltsin's health, which is indicative in this respect
CNN has set to Yastrzhembsky after visit of the president to Sweden. The Press-secretary
Has responded: "the President has considered possible to act in that form as which considered
The correct. Business of experts and the command of the president to detail that
Boris Yeltsin "has told. Yastrzhembsky is echoed by Sergey Prihodko:" the Form not
Ideal, but this right of the president ".
Clearly, that, as though to the officials who are preparing visits and responsible
Image of the president, it was heavy, they never admit the
Problems. Moreover, Yeltsin's image makers to whom talked
The correspondent, assert, that, according to researches, on the strange
The behaviour of the president pays attention only a society top. "At
The majority of the population in memory there is only one fact: Yeltsin
Operates, - assure oni. - At the inhabitant after all these cases
The image of the operating head of the state, capable to force is formed
Acceptance of any decisions ".
Judging by last statement, an environment of the president really
It is ready to all.
IGOR OF SCRAPS.
--------------------------------------------------------.
As prepare the president.
Sergey Prihodko, the assistant to the president on the international questions.
Preparation for visit begins with the moment of definition of its date, and
Unessentially concrete. There is quite enough, that it was half-year or
Quarter.
As soon as date is defined, at once - even if visit in a year -
The president gives the commission about the preparation beginning. So, following the results of negotiations with
The president of Egypt Hosni Mubarakom in Moscow Boris Yeltsin has given at once
The order to the government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to begin preparation of reciprocal visit. Though
It will take place almost in a year - in the autumn 1998.
Despite the fact that what define exact date of a trip later - from
Safety reasons, concrete departments already prepare the
Offers. Month for two before visit its technical training begins.
In management on foreign policy of administration of the president are flown down all
Documents from various departments. For the president the help prepare
Materials, and, under its request a lot of attention is given cultural
To traditions of the country, detailed characteristics of its heads. Never from
The president do not hide any negative side in relations between
Two countries.
These help materials specially for the president are made out on
Leaves of a small format, in a quarter of a usual sheet A4. It becomes for
That they without effort could be put in an internal pocket of a jacket.
Their number, as a rule, fluctuates from 10 to 40.
Not so long ago at this stage new practice - to visit has been entered
The president job of the intergovernmental commission should precede, in
Which representatives of Russia and other country participate. For example, to
Arrival of the president to Sweden Stockholm was visited by governmental delegation,
Headed by vice-premier Vladimir Bulgakom. Now Chubays will go in
India within the limits of preparation of visit of the president in this country.
Thus we do not suppose, that during visit were discussed
Unprepared documents.
The employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, wished to remain not named.
Under the report any visit can take place only under the invitation
Receiving party. Without the invitation is simply private trip private
Persons. In the invitation the visit form - the worker, official makes a reservation,
The state; according to it its program is defined also.
At first approximate terms of visit and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are outlined prepares so-called
Note. It direct to "instance". Earlier - on the Old area, now
-- In administration of the president. In a note the most general substantiation is given
Expediency of visit.
The concept is then written. This compressed statement of that, than it is interesting
Trip to the given country right now. It is the very first and the most important
The document which prepares the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at an initial stage.
Simultaneously the department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which conducts the given country, begins
To process all cart of materials available at its order. The purpose -
To press down them, having saved thus sense. Voluminous enough instruction turns out
To conversations: it consists from so-called rechevki where it is formulated
Position of Russia on all discussed problems, and short impregnations
The help information.
In gorbachevsky the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has entered the period when there was "a human factor",
New type of documents - so-called portraits. It were detailed
Materials about politicians in whom the simple revealed
Human character traits.
Besides the materials directly focused on the country, prepare
And offers under possible foreign policy initiatives. As a rule, on
They are beyond the scale "dvustoronki", therefore at them
Promulgation during visit the country and an audience, where they are considered
Will sound. Last years it mainly initiatives in area
Disarmament. Them pronounce with military men, count as pluses, and
Minuses - their ability to unblock impasses on the trunk-call
Forums, possible reciprocal steps.
