a foreign and your own language to rate through the songs the words and having found the right one so its texture its size sounding for the threats connecting the two languages has always been my favorite thing to do or you or a linguist to plot. prove it has always been my favorite thing to do i have done many things in my life i was a diplomat i was working in the foreign ministry for many years i have written books i've been a journalist i've been working in the gorbachev foundation. a kind of advisor to the present or future of inches post-presidential years but i would say nevertheless. as a linguist i have been the happiest it's been my vocation my occupation you've been credited with credited with intelligence remarkably open mind but were

you ready psychologically to translate those earth shattering events that gorbachev leadership through up to the world. or well i think i was reading frankly it's not boasting but i do remember that well almost twenty seven years ago i was first asked to interpret for. even though at that time. the soviet leader the general secretary of the central committee it was a figure somewhere in the clouds i do remember that i was not a for. it that i was psychological e really and part of it of course was that everyone was kind of feeling and expecting that gorbachev was something new that one must not be afraid of him but also i think because i love at that time my work i enjoyed it was part of that love for my work as a linguist for what was your personal perception of the world at that point

standing next to a guy who was turning it upside down well i was very much in favor of change and i was very much for perestroika initially during the first couple of years i frankly was worried that the whole thing will be perhaps just because maybe that it will not get enough support either in the soviet the stablish moaned or among the people but then of course it was because of some decisions taken by which that process accelerated and what's more important painted momentum and became not dependent on gorbachev alone or associates so the feeling was that yes change is necessary the feeling was yes change is possible but

the world darts. also said that interpreters occupy a somewhat maverick position that the apparatus not only working for government officials but more for one's own personal really anything is the core principle of interpreters relationship charge trust oh it certainly is trust the thing is that you have to be trusted not just by your side but also by the other side i think that is something that younger interpreters stand you know not a neutral. you certainly are the process of reaching mutual understanding so whatever you can do in a way from both sides you should do but of course being also at the same time the official the foreign ministry official you have to bear that in mind as world. you seem to archigram manner or think or picture of life in character of course. or

have to be a psychologist counselor at times not really know but it's important for an interpreter for a diplomat for anyone to understand that you're working with a human being no one is perfect you have to make an allowance for the specificity of a human character so far as your guy is concerned gorbachev so far as the other side is concerned because they too work human beings and an interpreter can be i think in certain situations. a positive factor i do remember for example when after reagan's visit to moscow in one thousand eighty eight the visit was practically over portraiture reagan were to attend a concert at the bolshoi theatre. and i must say that the u.s. security. protection at that time was

a little heavy handed and they started to frisk just about everyone who was entering the bullshit and as a result of that the concert the beginning of the concert was to late. almost an hour and that frankly upset. that upset. and they said well do we need to go to that concert do we need the last then or that was to follow that concert and frankly at that time not as a psychologist but i see. that you know it's the heavy handed decision in a certain person or a group of people let's not you know tarnish the great event very good summit with. making this a big deal and perhaps it helped because. everyone can do the visit and then on a nice note well i worked out

a little more about not clicking i mean you obviously speak to gorbachev and speak to people their own language so you understand a little more of their mentality and their their path of thinking did you ever maybe a certain approaches to certain persons. some top personalities easier to deal with and others except reagan oh well for sure some top personalities are easier to deal with than others but you have to bear in mind that i became personally close to go to church in his post-presidential years i was not i was a government official at that time i was not really a member of his inner circle so no i never dared to. act as someone who advises on the personal aspects of this kind of thing a later of course you know i've been with him for almost twenty seven years now so later yes it has happened. that we discussed the individuals with whom

she was dealing. beings not only americans and foreigners but also russians but that came later. for you personally i do understand everything that curvature with was unprecedented it was groundbreaking but was there one in particular that stood out for you. well you might be surprised. everything stands out reykjavik stands but it's not it's not washington it's the meeting in helsinki right after the aggression of saddam hussein against kuwait that really stands out in my mind even more than multiple meetings between gorbachev and bush and helsinki even more than malted spans of the of the cold war because that was the first time when it was not the dynamics of

confrontation of our position of the two major powers but the dynamics of corporation corporation and stopping the aggression that really worked in both countries show that they are able to do it that they're able to play certain steps to make compromises to make that corporation work so to me that was an enormously important event. but not was there and i remember by the way that's not about the coverage of but i do remember during the meeting between shevardnadze and baker in puts the news came and how it was brought in by a baker's associate about saddam hussein's invasion of kuwait and it was totally unexpected they did not spend much time discussing it put the agreed that they would be in contact and then those contacts led to that in my opinion

truly sad story perhaps underestimated reading between and bush in helsinki what you've said that you've been working with for twenty seven years now how is term. affected your perception of. how would you assess his legacy to russia and the world but all well i think you know i was working with him in those years because i believed in what he was doing i was a foreign ministry official and had i for example wanted an appointment somewhere abroad it was you know past time it was past due so to say so i could have estimated seven in eighty eight to be posted somewhere abroad i didn't do that i worked for him because i had a commitment for what he and his associates were doing to change the country and then of course it turned out that it changed not only our country changed the world

that appreciation that opinion i think is very much still with me it has been confirmed by subsequent events i frankly always believed that it would not be easy that it would not be for our country or for the world it would not be a feast or celebration everything is nice so you know i have been disappointed that i was disappointed in the. many things in this country about many things in the world but nevertheless i do think that if practically any unbiased human being who looks at how things were thirty years ago and how things are in the world today it has to be a positive assessment is mikhail gorbachev you're a man of the twentieth century. certainly as i frankly don't very much believe in those competitions those contests certainly there were people in his generation and

the previous generations who. affected the twentieth century in important positive ways and of course you have to look when you talk about a man of the twentieth century have to look for people who made a positive contribution and he is certainly among the like top three top five persons all of whom really really made the world better with this romance with his late wife teresa was almost as brainless as the man himself would you describe his vision of how the world as romantic. well. no i don't think she would have remained equation of the world but she was one of the luckiest person in the world really a perfect couple in the sense that. everything was just smooth and perfect. and you know you really see that kind of personal commitment and love and i saw

that i mean here watch that. mr plushenko thank you very much for this interview thank you ok. there is not enough space for them on the ground. to go down to. get things nonexistent under the sun. to. fill the gap of adrenaline to. discover the deeply hidden secrets. we are seeking or. finding. and even. talking to god. from. under the ground.
