a foreign and your own language to rate through the songs of words and having found the right one feel its texture its size and then for the threats connecting the two languages it has always been my favorite thing to do are you more a linguist a diplomat. who 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 written books i've been a journalist i've been working in the covered her foundation. kind of. present coverage of lynch's post-presidential years but i would say nevertheless as as a linguist i have been the happiest it's been my vocation my occupation you've been credited credited with can intelligence

a remarkably open mind where you ready psychologically to translate those earth shattering events that gorbachev leadership brought to the world. well i think i was reading frankly it's not boasting but i do remember that when almost twenty years ago i was first asked to perform. 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 afraid that i was psychologically ready 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 i think because. i loved at that time my work i enjoyed it was part of that love for my work as

a linguist what was your personal perception of the world at that point standing next to the guy who was turning it upside down well i was very much in favor of change 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 they're. not getting enough support either in the soviet the stablish or among the people. then of course it was because of some decisions taken by which that the process accelerated and what's more important gained its own the mentor 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 word its course now you also said that interpreters occupy a somewhat now rick position that the apparatus not only working for government officials but more for one's own person really what do you think is the core principle of interpreters relationship charge the 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 need to understand 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 around or think orbits of life and character of course but

did you ever have to be the 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 and no one is perfect you have to make 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 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 theater 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 balsa and as a result of that the cancer the beginning of the pouncer was late by almost an hour. and that frankly upsets gorbachev and that upset racer and they said well do we need to go to that concert do we need the last dinner 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 were making this a big deal and perhaps it helped because. everyone calmed down the visit and then on a nice note well our part

a little more crinkling not recalled i mean you obviously speak to gorbachev and speak to people their own language so you understand a little more their mentality and their their path of thinking did you ever maybe advice uncertain approaches to certain persons. some top personalities easier to their with from others except reagan oh well for sure some thought 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. you know to act as someone who advises on the personal aspects of this kind of thing 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 very concerned foreigners but also russians but that came later. ok for you personally i do understand everything that says that curvature with was unprecedented 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 reykjavik it's not washington it's the meeting in april saying to you right after the aggression of saddam hussein against kuwait that really stands out in my mind even more than malta the meeting between gorbachev and bush in 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 opposition of the two major powers but the dynamics of corporation cooperation in stopping the question that really worked in both countries showed that they are able to do it that they're able to take certain steps to make compromises to make that cooperation work so to me that was an enormously important event. 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 you could see how 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 under estimated meetings between gorbachev and bush in helsinki well you've said that you've been working with him for twenty seven years now how has term affected your perception of. asia now how would you assess his legacy to russia and the world. but 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 climate was past due services so i could've asked in eighty seven in eighty eight to be posted somewhere abroad i didn't do that i work 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 a 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 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 the twentieth century in important positive ways and of course you have to look when you talk about a man of the twentieth century or to look for people who made a positive contribution and he was 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 or the world as romantic. well. no i don't think you'll remain to creation of the world but he was one of the luckiest person in that world read it for a couple not in the sense that. everything was just smooth and perfect but you know you rarely see that kind of personal commitment and love and i saw that

i. watched that thank you very much for this interview thank you ok. come. there is not enough space for them on the ground. to go down to the room get things nonexistent under the sun. fill the gap of adrenalin to. discover deeply hidden secrets. they are seeking to. find the a few. and even. talking to
