Both laughter, and Gref.
Both laughter, and Gref.
Luzhkov has shown a full purse of promises in Paris.
Presentation of Russian project п?п п п п -2010 in Paris
It has turned out crumpled. Luzhkov was late aboard the plane, Gref continually
Glanced at hours, being anxious for colleague Kasyanov, which
For a long time already toiled in expectation of a direct communication with Paris. Delegation
China - the basic competitor of Russia in dispute for voices
Representatives of the International bureau of exhibitions - has arranged a demarche.
Chineses were unique who did not applaud appeared on a scene
To Luzhkov.
And overnight they have in a pointed manner left the organised
Russians reception. And it is vain. Such abundance, spoke
Diplomats working in Paris, here did not see for a long time. Caviar black
And red, sturgeon, fried pineapples and, at last, vodka in the openwork
Ice wine-glasses.
The presentation of Russian project п?п п п п -2010 has managed
To organizers in 30 million dollars. But it is copecks in comparison with
That it is necessary to spend if Russia acquires the right to spend
This most prestigious international exhibition. In May it was a question
About 1 billion 300 million dollars, by November the question price has risen to
2 billion From them 700 million - a share of federal soldiers, 800 million - a share of Moscow,
The rest - sponsor's means. To Paris Gref refused
To speak, whence at the scarce budget and the falling prices for oil
Russia takes superfluous hundred millions dollars, but its journalists
"dozhali". It has appeared, we again should occupy. Creditors
Former - the European bank of reconstruction and development and World
Bank. They agree to put up money and in development
Infrastructures, and in All-Russia Exhibition Centre reconstruction, where according to the project
Pavilions EKSPO-2010, and in building of hotels will take places.
From shares of Moscow too not all is clear. Certainly, in Paris
Luzhkov told, that money for EXPO carrying out already lay to themselves
In a secluded place also wait for the hour. But we with you not Frenchmen
And fine we know, that the capital budget this year too
Scarce, that the city inevitably should occupy under
Building of new objects, and at the same creditors.
Besides, it is not absolutely clear, as Luzhkov assumes to pull
At once some capital-intensive projects, after all simultaneously with
Preparation to п?п п п п -2010 to Moscow it is necessary to build City.
But in France about these problems did not speak. The basic idea
Luzhkov and Gref's performances - "we pursue not profit, and for
By the international recognition "- has shaken representatives
The international bureau of the exhibition, got used to opposite
Motivations of applicants. Both China, and Korea, and Mexico do not hide,
That struggle for п?п п п п -2010 exclusively from the mercantile
Reasons, and here suddenly such nobleness.
In general, after the half-hour presentation which were switching on besides
Direct space bridge with prime minister Kasyanov a communication session with
Cosmonauts and small, but very touching roller about
To the Russian capital, the hall did not sob nearly from affection. Even Chineses
Were not kept - have begun to clap. In a lobby said, that chances of Moscow
In comparison with Shanghai at once have grown to 80 %. However,
The definitive decision general assembly of the International bureau
Exhibitions of signs exactly in a year. For now it is necessary to hope, that
Its representatives who are going to in the near future to come to see
The Russian capital, on will notice the big difference between a roller and
Reality.
