. and a day of tribute to one of russia's most controversial leaders on the eightieth anniversary of his birth the country remembered so late president morsi also his legacy it still has many russians divided. it up next artie's sophie severed talks of the late president's head of protocol the mayor shevchenko revealed details about the real boris yeltsin. he did. i feel the national average hello mr xi chang thank you very much for joining us today so the new rochelle else you know is to first president of russia what were the main new protocol procedures that came with them. i

think will be more relevant to describe how i got the job with the new russia and yeltsin as the president you know there was no protocol we had some innovations with mikhail gorbachev when i was head of his protocol and i was the first assume the position soon after he was elected president of the soviet union so that we had not succeeded in many respects so i was invited to work with buddies nikolayevich when i had been hired and we began to build up this protocol it was indeed rather interesting each of us thought he was in charge so an entourage developed around the president the first thing to be done was to implement the president's instructions and create a precedent for protocols that glove apparently we would not come up with anything new because protocol everywhere is always unbending most importantly we do everybody's attention to us with this protocol with this precedence no i'm pleased to see the protocols are nearly everywhere there's no such thing that someone says one thing and someone else says something completely different i was very lucky

that barry's nicolo which and i were very particular about his work he was fond of the protocol of order and would never be late anywhere or part of the book he would find it acceptable of some it was late which was why i had the tough task of explaining to him someone's lateness which are more the up of the yeltsin was a very spontaneous person surely infringements of prosecutor wearing evitable. was he was indeed spontaneous but you know he never a french protocol deviated from some or its acute norms but many people confuse these things of protocol with the more. however he never disrupted any event was never late but being emotional a month did something totally unexpected more like the time when he famously conducted an orchestra again it depended on when his mood took him and you have to understand as he turned his head back it was only the stunned shift he tried to signal that it should be stopped all of the rest were just standing around in applauding it. was there are no occasion when you felt awkward and were ready to say that's it i'm giving up and quitting when much of. what i approached him there

was never an instance when he would give up and say go away if that had happened i probably would have quit but he would always listen to me it was impossible to guide him but it was possible to come to an agreement of so much and he would keep his word while i had the right to keep him on the no yeah. i said less the better more hazard that yeltsin personally inspected the gifts handed to foreign delegations at hands of states. a little is said about yeltsin as a person he was a unique person who went through all kinds of things in life born into a common family right through his life to his death he was always his own man so it's worth saying first and foremost that he was really into sports including fishing and hunting all the time to believe that even age seventy if you go swimming in water that was only seven or nine degrees. he was very particular about gifts he was supposed to give to heads of state or whoever this work was very hard it was my job to prepare those gifts and he would select them we had

a special group that looked into along with the foreign ministry the interests of the person in question to make the gift to his or her liking normally would get bunches of letters of gratitude to the head of state will to me what a gift might seem to be insignificant to the first for instance when you president chirac during his student years was fond of pushkin the bull was so we bought him a full edition of pushkin and thirty. minutes then for instance what we supposed to present to president clinton what it took us. a long time before we decided on donating to him a statute of clinton himself playing the saxophone with him it would be granted i said hold it don't give it away out of the otherwise they'll break it. must have made a fantastic thing indeed was he himself fond of receiving gifts was a particular about what was donated to him. and i had great friendly relations with people who worked with many state leaders they would ask me about yeltsin's hobbies and due to this i found myself in a real nice as they began to present reckitt some tennis balls and civil devices

but we got so many that we didn't know where to put them all the bodies nikolaevitch gave instructions that everything should be mainly food it was force academy but once we revealed a secret that bodies look alive it was very fond of history books and rare editions but there are two options when a person can be handed through a protocol or in person that he did the latter usually the guest owns of the gift and most in turn we handle knows the present is then open to what both of them take away almost scribbles evolved in memory where a prominent common history of state during a trip through say period delegation from japan kill actually promise to give the carols to japan is this some sort of a historical. thing of the kind happened it's a historic joke here or to can't guarantee what was done when he was chairman of the supreme council and he indeed had his first trip to japan or when he was already presidents there was no question about why it ended all the meetings including with her she moved to you during your absence trips to japan the bottles

on the contrary what you had to work long and heard were given away the career was never in question. but the boat search was a man who never has a tainted to talk to his people and never fear to look straight into the eyes of those people what stories can you recall of empathy with him. he would spontaneously go out to the people into the crowd you can imagine that in such cases the people were really happy when that happened all of the. it was the rebels in brush and it brought. us a big war years especially in southern russia of actually wherever we went other standard was something different when he had retired and we went to latvia during his presidency he had never visited latvia i was surprised we didn't go to a predominantly russian speaking area but to call and in the very heart of latvia we many don't even speak russian what with one of a crowd of fifteen hundred to two thousand gathered. people understood the role

that he took own it was easy to destroy build but on the other hand it was necessary to build up a new life so as the people could feel some real changes taking place the real and present day also was subjected to severe criticism during his presidency obviously people in such positions right here worked out some kind of any entity which enabled them to distance their minds from it and keep on doing their job well humans at the end of the day where his feelings hurt one. goes without saying that he wants her more than once it was suggested that we should sue them but he would never results of that let them speak they must have this a. new. this was eighty eight anniversaries be accelerated lower than his seventieth when he was still alive because he is that larry to warm regularly as he passed away. when he turned seventy he was very ill so the celebrations passed nearly unnoticed as a matter of fact what we had in store for the celebrations we used only

a year later. around at his eightieth birthday. the time goes on people are comparing what we had before and what we had after russia was moving on and i believe our citizens do not want to read the past back to the one nine hundred ninety s. to stand in queues and empty shelves in the shops. on the first and in one thousand square extremely difficult times with events that sure can shape the country now every ruler faces so many groundbreaking events during his press. and see sometimes it seemed he was holding not the country in his hands but a bond that could explode at any moment how did he himself assess his time as president what did he compare this period to speak to what were the boredom of the group in that respect he was a bit reticent and would never try to compare his work with anyone else is like charles de gaulle he was apparently upset when something went wrong and that he had actually not lived the renascence we would raise the question especially during his last months he regretted that the agreements reached with the newly formed

countries of the c.i.s. when the soviet union collapsed did not turn out as planned he regretted that so much. i would wish you just a good example but they say often mention his extraordinary powers to shona can you give examples when it really helped him. deal with. president clinton once said that when he climbed the tank in the gate into history that we were going to face gave a tough time in which to govern but history will be kind to him he said he was acting on intuition or it's at moments and he feared not relating to the interviewer out he also had a wonderful sense of humor i guess to my memory he was the only leader to always deliver speeches without a script he would never has a tate's to poke fun at himself but it helped him and in a crucial moments. already know this but he used to read a lot and he had a brilliant memory when on board the plane i would give him some documents and after the flight he would break the local governor of a figure he had not even bothered to learn about his own region this is one of your

options unique traits. but with god every leader wants to live in dignity yeltsin resigned under his own volition whether we was what made the movie unique he had analysed the us had he been preparing for that for a long time i believe since the surgery all throughout nine hundred ninety eight would be of the will of the us would work at the core of reaction did he expect roughly what. he did not expect any reaction when the election took place he had. selected a candidate they're not expected any appeals for him to come directly he never even thought about it so he said i'll take care of russia i made it free your mission is to protect russia when he was aware of not being physically strong anything besides his age was an issue so he chose to give way to the younger generation that's for sure he did help put in and turn the car circle didn't he but relations today have . progressed they had a great relationship and this remains are we are

a happy nation during this period founded by bodies nikolaevitch know what that just consider the yet a very cynical overture his family his widow of by putin and the viet of and their wives with as one american told me the president is always the president either good or bad nixon had his watergate but he was considered the president of the young but what was yeltsin's life like after the presidency and i don't mean on the every day rotating hat he piece of mind or perhaps his feelings were hurt or on the contrary he thought like you had done everything heard upon your thought that he was not hurt he may have had tensions at meetings or some items were discussed with the leadership and he would agree to something we never publish that in the press no need for that you brought it would be inappropriate to manifest a kind of pressure on his behalf. the anthem will was that he just could not accept that to some extent he did not like a system of appointing regional governors rather than electing the hospital later he began to analyze it and the thought of it being perhaps a problem moved on although it would be proper to return to elections some days he

was not overly confident and he would never ask for too much of it would make millions for trips older than he would travel five six eight times to various regions a year because as a matter of fact of we had not seen the on ordinary approach. i thank you very much . the more people were killed the officers were. supposed to see who could kill the most people and the different ways you could prove to me keep you killed. someone serious you know where he had the most years they would get the most fierce
