RADISHCHEV ON THE CONTRARY.
RADISHCHEV ON THE CONTRARY.
George Bush and has not pacified "caucasus".
"The coachman, has gone! Moscow! Moscow!!!" - such words comes to an end
"Travel from Petersburg to Moscow" Radishcheva. George Bush
Has made this travel in the opposite direction. Therefore,
A little having put spurs to imagination, it is possible to imagine ours
The Texas guy the shouting: "Boeing", has gone!
St.-Petersburg! Sankt-Petersburg!!! ".
At Radishcheva, looked back okrest, zanylo under a spoon from
Wretchedness of the Russian life. At our Texas guy hardly
zanylo, at least already because it has made the travel not in
To tilt cart, and on the supermodern liner. From a stratosphere it is not visible,
For example, that St. Petersburg not only the second capital of Russia,
But also the first capital of the Russian criminality. Besides Bush
Has arrived to St.-Petersburg not to understand, and to have a good time.
The president Bush has stopped in hotel "Astoria" ("And zapiruju on
Open space I ") in lux, leaving windows on the Isaakievsky cathedral.
Putin - where it is necessary to it on a rank. I should give due mine
To colleagues from St.-Petersburg. All local newspapers marked 25
May, have devoted to visit of the president of the United States a minimum
Places, without enthusiastic ohov and sighs, without treacle, balm and
eleja. On the front pages - heavy everyday life of a city instead of the juryman
"Hospitable St.-Petersburg welcomes you, about George
The Texas! ". So, for example," the St.-Petersburg sheets "write
In pervopolosnyh "Notches on a granite" about what lacks
To city (almost all). Bush in this list is not present, though about its visit
Also it is told by pair lines. And after all on May, 25th St.-Petersburg celebrated
Day of a city, last before the 300 anniversary. But my local
Colleagues have spent this day under the slogan Majakovsky "Not
jubilejte! ".
Visit of the US president too has begun with heavy, but obligatory
Ceremonies, and too the war connected with a terrible notch and blockade
On the Leningrad granite, - visitings Piskarevsky memorial
Cemeteries. Having passed through propilei a main entrance - museum
The pavilions revetted with dolomite, and central avenue,
Presidents Putin and Bush have in common assigned a wreath to a monument
The native land-mother. We will hope, that memorable words "Nobody
It is forgotten, nothing is forgotten "have responded in hearts of both presidents.
Anyway, the echo of these words is obviously listened in
The documents "made" in the Andreevsky hall of the Kremlin, under which
They have put the signatures.
Then sharp change of scenery - with Piskarevsky has followed
Memorial presidents and their spouses have gone to the Hermitage. To a press
Presidents did not take with themselves neither on a cemetery, nor in picture
Gallery. Therefore I can inform only one: when to Bush have shown
Catherine II portrait Great, it has instantly enquired: "And where
Potyomkin? ", having shown knowledge of Russian history. That's all mine
Knowledge about visiting by presidents of the Hermitage. And it is a pity, even during an epoch
Totalitarian communism press access to bodies of dictators -
Secretaries general was much more liberal, than nowadays - to democratic
To presidents. I speak, being based on the rich personal experience.
At all Soviet-American summits with Khruschev's participation and
Brezhnev group of the correspondents representing "Truth",
"News", TASS and NPA, pursued leaders of both countries
It is literally on heels and in detail wrote down all their remarks and
Conversations.
There was nothing unusual that journalists walked,
For example, in park of the Bottom Oreanda in Yalta with Leonid Ilichom and
Richard Nixon, interviewing them how much it is necessary for soul.
"Venus before a mirror" Titsiana is not registered in the Hermitage. It
From National gallery of Washington, also it is exhibited in Sankt -
Petersburg within the limits of a traditional series "Masterpieces of museums of the world in
The Hermitage ". It would seem, the friendly gesture dated for visit
The high American visitor. Bush - in Petersburg, Titsian - in
The Hermitage. But let's recollect history of this great cloth. In
1931 the Soviet power has sold to its American
To multimillionaire Andrew Mellon for nothing. Now we accuse
This power that it "squandered our great spiritual
Values ", but after all it became by a principle" not to fat, to be
I live ". Venus at Titsiana quite well-fad, and in Ukraine at that time
Hunger mowed people of tens thousand. Then even "Bush's leg"
Would be perceived as luxury, as a luxurious banquet. A mirror on
Cloth Titsiana reflects the goddess of love with the son the Cupid,
But this picture - a mirror of history Russian-American
Relations...
Putin and Bush at first were going to to drive on a presidential yacht
"Caucasus", only just repaired on the local
Ship-building factory. In due time building of "caucasus"
Has begun for secretaries general of the Central Committee of the CPSU, and there was it here a yacht
The president of democratic Russia. But in a context Russian -
The American relations the vessel name sounded rather juicy. In
Last minute the yacht "caucasus" has been replaced by yacht "Nju-Ajlend"
(That in a translation into Russian means "new island")...
Driving passed some hours, the ship of presidents
Accompanied eight boats. Except a water train on coast
Some tens cars with protection moved. During time
Walks presidents also observed celebratory fireworks,
Dated, the truth, not to Bush's visit, and by Day of a city. However,
Specially fireworks were made for George Bush not from
The Peter and Paul Fortress, and from Vasilevsky island.
On "Nutcracker" in Mariinsk theatre, on hearings, a couple of Bushs,
Outwardly admiring, it has been a little disappointed. It, appears,
Thirsted for "adult" of ballet, and has received "children's". That fact, that
Known artist Michael Shemjakin, the author of scenery and suits,
Has created instead of traditional children's fantastic performance the world
Hoffmann's grotesque imagination, has passed for George and Laury
Not noticed. They and that ostensibly "have not pecked the visual
The performance space wonderfully is conformable
To the Petersburg mythology and aesthetics ".
Bushs were present at Sunday service at the Main thing
City cathedral - Kazan. For them it has been made
Exception - have thumped in bells and have resolved before the liturgy termination
To examine a cathedral. And visit to the Big choral synagogue Sankt -
Petersburg, reconstructed by my compatriot Tamazom
Sepiashvili, it would be desirable to hope, has once again reminded the president Bush
About anachronism of the amendment of Jackson-Venika - nowadays to the first on
To size to a funny thing in the Russian-American relations.
On May, 26th the president George Bush has left on the "п п?п п?пЁп -747",
Being simultaneously the Air Forces-1, from Northern Venice to Paris. And
The president of Russia Vladimir Putin, having made it the handle, there and then
Has gone to Tsarskoe Selo on a meeting with one more president,
More correctly, the president - this time Finland, madam Halonnen.
But as all ways conduct to Rome, Putin and Bush again will meet
There one of these days for signing of the historical document, on which
Russia becomes, so to say, a member-correspondent of NATO. Difficultly
Even to imagine, what long and difficult way was necessary
To pass to not taken place Third Rome, to reach in the similar
Quality to Rome the first. This piece, paraphrasing "the leader of all
", Travel are more feasible Stalin's than progressive mankind" from
Petersburg to Moscow "Radishcheva!
Melor Sturua.
