the thing is the genes are still i'm aware of what's going on in the money still asking. on r.g.p. . this is all to approach gives out a few truths reverse the libyan rebels advance following the international air strikes and it comes as some coalition members including the us are wrong consider all the opposition and mourning for the. un resolution. the wrong is a terrorist bank time to be a long sounded a bit possible revenge falls high maybe it is the apparent is

a growing number of casualties from the bombing raids believed to be spread over terrorists recruits. and that israeli is this been awaiting trial in georgia responding to the president as the paper cut off from the country government schools folklore and pestilence horney thinks is a facing bribery charges but is noisy the police is trying to wiggle around some paying one hundred million dollars a day is the jailed investor. next to get an up close look at the past knowledge you lost lose all the u.s.s.r. and his political legacy. to me. pople i should thank you very much for being with us today it's

a great pleasure. i'm going to read a quote from your book this very occupation to imbibe the air of 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 has always been my favorite thing to do or you are a linguist and 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 written books i've been a journalist i've been working in the quarter foundation. a kind of wiser to present government his post-presidential years but i would say nevertheless. as a linguist i have been the happiest. vocation of my occupation is

being credited credited with killing. where you ready psychologically to translate those earth shattering event starts gorbachev's leadership brought to the world. well i think i was reading frankly it's not boasting but i do remember that when almost twenty seven years ago i was first asked to fork over true. even though at that claim 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 coverage there was 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 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 his making. not getting enough support either in the soviet establishment or among the people but then of course it was because of some decisions taken by cork that the process accelerated and what's more important gained its own momentum and became not dependent on gorbachev alone or his associates so the feeling was that yes change is necessary the feeling was yes jane just possible but

there were doubts. there 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 personal really pretty thing is the core principle of interpreters relationship with 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 need to understand 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 manner or think or picture of life interpreter of course but did you ever have to. 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 too 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 and. 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 bolshoi and as a result of that the concert the beginning of the pouncer was late by almost an hour. and that frankly upset corporate servant 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 or a group of people let's not you know tarnish the great event very good summit where. you know making this a big deal and perhaps it helps because you know everyone calm down and

visit and then on a nice note well i want to add a little more about creating not quibble 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 path of thinking did you ever maybe advice uncertain approaches to certain persons. some talker sanaa is easier to deal with and others except for a grant oh well for sure some top personalities are easier to deal with than others but you have to bear in mind that i personally close to go bush 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 act as someone who advice is on the principle 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. beings not only americans and foreigners but also russians get clean later. ok at the for you personally i don't understand everything that you assisted 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 helsinki right after the aggression of saddam hussein against coate that really stands out in my mind even more than malta the meeting between gorbachev and bush in helsinki even more than malted stands out v.

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 cooperation cooperation in stopping the aggression 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 eduard shevardnadze was there and i remember by the way that's not about god which are but i do remember during the meeting between shevardnadze and baker 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 should story clint perhaps underestimated meeting between quadrature and bush in helsinki where you serve that you've been working with him for twenty seven years now how has term affected your perception of turns eighteen now how would you assess his legacy to russia and the world. 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 can invest in eighty seven and 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 as a parent of that it changed not only our country changed the world but 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. 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 let's recall gorbachev your 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 in 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 now his romance with his late wife teresa was almost as famous as the man himself would you describe his vision of the world as romantic. well no i don't think you'll remain to vision of the world but he was one of the luckiest person in. the world really a perfect couple in the sense that. everything was just smooth and perfect but

you know you really see that kind of personal commitment. and i saw that i. watched that. with a blush english thank you very much for this interview thank you ok. the consumption has been to the jaroslav the range and the handicrafts have become a major industry. now latinos will form a top secret military stronghold. which today has a limitless possibilities for extreme sports. with the most secretive damask seal has been discovered. and the real sufyan fleet divers watch is amazing. will come from the chile obvious creature. russia close up on t.
