a great pleasure. to read a quote from your book this very occupation by the air of a foreign and your own language to rake through the songs of words and having found the right one feel its texture its size and then grope for the threats connecting the two languages has always been my favorite thing to do or you were a linguist of the plot is. true 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 governor foundation. kind of by third to present or future of inches post-presidential years but i would say nevertheless. as a linguist i've been the happiest it's been my vocation my occupation you've

been credited credited with kill intelligence and remarkably open mind but were you ready psychologically to translate those earth shattering event start gorbachev's leadership for up to the world. or well i think i was ready frankly it's not boasting but i do remember that when almost twenty years ago i was first asked to interpret for. even though at that time you know 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. that i was psychological e already and part of it of course was that everyone was kind of feeling and expecting that coverage of a something new that one must not be afraid of him but also i think because i loved 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 this maybe they're. not getting enough support either in the soviet the stablish or among the people but then of course it was because of some decisions taken by gorbachev that the process accelerated and what's more important gained its own momentum and became not dependent on government of alone or associates so the feeling was that yes change is necessary the feeling was yes jane just possible but

there were doubts of course. you 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 what do you think 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 the turnstone you are not neutral but you certainly are part of 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 well well you seem to occupy many are authentic or bits of life interpreter of course but

your 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 is of a human character so far as your guy is concerned gorbachev so far as the other side is concerned because they too were human beings you know 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 quadrature 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 bolshoi and as a result of that the concert the beginning of the concert was late by almost an hour. and that frankly upset gorbachev and that upset racer 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 said that you know it's the heavy handed decision in a certain person the regroup of people let's not you know tarnish the great event very good summit where. we're going to making this a big deal and perhaps it helps because you know everyone calm down the

visit and then on a nice note well i want to talk a little more about not clicking i mean we obviously speak to gorbachev and i will speak to people their own language so you understand a little more their mentality and their their path of thinking did you ever maybe advise him on 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 bitch or 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. you know to act as someone who advice is 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 he was dealing he would beings not only americans and foreigners but also russians but that came later. for you personally i do understand everything that you assisted curvature of with was unprecedented was groundbreaking but was there one in particular that stood out for you. well you might be surprised that everything stands out reykjavik stands but it's not reykjavik 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 malta a meeting between governor bush and helsinki even more than multi stands out as the

and of the cold war because that was the first time when it was not the dynamics of confrontation of opposition of the two major powers but the dynamics of corporation corporation in stopping the aggression that really worked in both countries showed 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 eduard shevardnadze was there and i remember by the way that's not about coverage of what i do remember during the meeting between shevardnadze and baker puts the news came and how it was brought in by baker's associate about saddam hussein's invasion of kuwait and it was totally unexpected they did not spend much time discussing it but they agreed that

they would be in contact and then those contacts led to that in my opinion truly historic and perhaps underestimated meeting between governor bush in helsinki where you've said that you've been working with him for twenty seven years now how has term affected your perception of events he turns eighteen now how would you assess his legacy to russia and the world. oh 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 services so i could've asked in a seventy 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 treat the country and

then of course it turned out of there to change 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 about. 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 not how gorbachev your man of the twentieth century.

certainly is 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 twentieth century in important positive ways and of course you have to look when you talk about a man of the twentieth century and 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 that his romance with his late wife was almost as famous as the man himself would you describe his vision of how the world as romantic as. well. no i don't think he had to remain vision of the world he was one of the luckiest person in that they were really a perfect couple not in the sense that. everything was just smooth and perfect but

you know you really see that kind of personal commitment and love and i saw that i. watched that admired that suppression go thank you very much for this interview thank you ok. consumption in the streams of the jaroslav in return one hundred crops of become a major industry. while she goes to a former top secret military stronghold. which today has limitless possibilities for extreme sports. with the most secretive damask still has been discovered. and the real soviet fleet joined as watchers a may. come from the chilly obvious creature. russia close up on t.v.

say we borrowed that from our own. it's like a motive or the first to score for the first time in the series we made several mistakes at the end of the match but we still had a good advantage of it i want to thank my guys for that performance it was a very tough match for us when i'm still glad really. look i'm with you could use a one sleeve to game this the civil serious two three one and have a chance to getting closer as the teams put together slowly for game five on thursday to play for the other g. . now the latest from time is on mars if there stays in the home for the sony ericsson open title in miami after progress again to the quarterfinals the american forced to play a lot of wrong long rallies against have said juan martin del potro but he is the founder of tennis balfe and beyond it's also a bit like a very sad when she won seven five held by in that pool ball in his favor on breakpoints then while the cultural unforced error at six five on the second set tie break also in a place and the last eight push successfully through and could replace and do well
