a foreign and your own language to rake through the songs of words and having found the right one feel its texture its size something further threats connecting the two languages has always been my favorite thing to do or you were a linguist of the plot. 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 written books i've been a journalist i've been working in the corporate or foundation. a kind of third to present coverage 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 credit was credited with kin intelligence remarkably open mind but were you

ready psychologically to translate those earth shattering event start gorbachev leadership brought to the world. well i think i was ready frankly it's not boasting but i do remember that when almost twenty seven years ago i was first asked to interpret for gorbachev. even though at that ply 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 think because i loved at that time my work i enjoyed it was that love for my work as a linguist for what was your personal perception of the world at that point

standing up straight 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. not getting enough support either in the soviet to stablish him and 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 gorbachev alone or his associates so the feeling was that yes change is necessary the feeling was yes jean just possible but the board doubts now you also

said that interpreters occupy a somewhat now rick position are they after hours not only working for government officials but more pro ones own person really what do you think is the core principle of interpreter's relationship with 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 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 bits of life interpreter of course but did you ever have to be psychologists 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 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 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 bullshit and as a result of that the concert the beginning of the concert was late by almost an hour. and that frankly upsets cover children that are upset racer and they said well do we need to go to that concert we need the last they're not that was to follow that concert and frankly at that climb not as a psychologist but i said that you know it's the heavy handed decision in. person or a group of people let's not you know tarnish the great event very good summit we're. going to making this a big deal and perhaps it helped because. everyone calmed down and the visit ended on a nice note well i want to go a little more about creating not creating 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 advice uncertain approaches to certain persons. some top personalities easier to clear with and others except for a can 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 gorbachev 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 as someone who advises on the press the last speck 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 but that came later. ok for you personally i do understand everything that that gorbachev with was unprecedented was groundbreaking but was there one in particular that stood out for you. well you might be surprised but 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 a weight that really stands out in my mind even more than mild a meeting between governor bush and helsinki even more than mild it stands out as 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 carter ration card to ration in stopping the question that really worked and both countries showed that they are able to do it the able to take 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 god which are but i do remember how during the meeting between shevardnadze and baker in 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

should story perhaps under estimated meeting between governor 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 events 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 rest 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 of course it turned out of that 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 of our many things in the world but nevertheless i do think that we have 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 mikhail 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 of 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 know his romance with his late wife was almost as famous as the man himself would you describe his version of the world as romantic. well. no i don't think you ever imagined vision 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. you know you railings that kind of personal commitment. and i saw that

shy and doesn't really like accomplished t.v. however you continue to get a shot you have to get used to life in the spotlight as she's established herself as one of the world's best snowboarders the results of the season had been phenomenal she's won seven times on the world cup circuit is here i'm speaking up of a disappointment of finishing just tenth of last year's winter olympics. i could never have imagined i would have such a great season i took everything step by step and try to get the optimum result at every stage of this season's world cup i managed to do this and i always kept pushing myself even if i had managed to win the previous round and this helped me i am sure to become the overall champion. she may be twenty three but to be a show has already been competing professionally for five years after when he was championships each just nineteen people things were expected of her however it's taken time for results to come on a consistent basis. when i won the world championships i always found myself under

pressure to repeat what i had done as i was very young and i found it very difficult to handle the weight of the shoulders i had two years where nothing went right for me but now i am twenty three and i feel so much calmer on the slopes i don't have as many nerves everything is a lot easier. to get should i was born in rust or could move to camera in the center of russia when she was just four it was here that she fell in love with her skiing and snowboarding expect training sessions at home but also spending plenty of time abroad and twenty three year old is just one of the healthy crop of russian snowboarders which also includes the likes of ali owners of argentina and you continue and to do you should assume is it's great for the development of sports in the country so you know we're always training together and looking at one another we have a good relationship but we're always trying to beat each other and this helps to push us to bigger and better things we all have our goals and we are on course to

reach these goals this want to impeach just three years away but this will be the ultimate prize for true to show she's already had to deal with pressure throughout her career that she's going to make sure country founded in forty and this will be under control and little one what hopefully will be a number of gold medals for russia. richard dancey. death a bright future ahead for her that brings us finally to boxing record or at hopkins our john pascoe of a nice to rematch of their december eighteenth by which ended in a draw a clash for a call's w.b.c. light heavyweight crown will take place on may twenty first in montreal the boxer is famous for their mutual disrespect already busy throwing a few low blows out a press conference in new york i'm going to be ready for the birth. we out of the discussion we can put my country and the despair in my country he put his hands on it this is. my country man my friends and this is
