RETURNING IN PUTINBURG.
RETURNING IN PUTINBURG.
The president has got used to receive visitors of the house.
Almost all forthcoming week Vladimir Putin was going to to spend
In the homeland - in St.-Petersburg. There there will pass two summits -
Shanghai and Baltic, and also three meetings: with Gay gift by Aliev,
Alexander Lukashenko and Leonid Kuchma. And all is continuous
Train, with a small break on Independence Day celebrating
Russia.
To difficultly itself to present, that, say, Leonid Brezhnev
Boris Yeltsin - transferred the major meetings to Dnepropetrovsk, and in
Sverdlovsk. Though it is quite possible, that the Russian president
Scoops examples not from history, and from the present. By calculations
Experts, George Bush has spent on the Texas ranch about third
Presidential term...
Versions which would explain this continuous marathon
The major actions of a political season in a city on Neva,
Occurs it is some. In the Kremlin administration week departure
Putin to St.-Petersburg are inclined to explain... Economy of means.
"Agree, it would be strange to spend the Baltic summit in
To Moscow. As to Shanghai so it for a long time have agreed
To arrange in Peter. Well, and not to be wound there-here, podverstali
To it and all other randevu. You are not surprised, when Putin
Spends weight of meetings in Sochi ", - has declared one high-ranking
The official in interview "MK".
Other version says, that gross national product thus arranges
To the Petersburg authorities something like examination one year prior to celebrating
The city 300 anniversaries. On a celebration, under the information "MK", promise
To gather about 30 heads of the states. The next year to Petersburg
Can "call in" and heads of "eight" of industrially developed countries.
Speak, this question is almost solved. The consent to arrange in a city
On Neva the summit leaders of "eight", probably, will announce through
Couple of weeks in Canada. And so, adequately to meet this
Armada of heads of the states to place their delegations and protection, Neva
Governors of a town should prepare already now - and morally, and
Financially. And that can be for this purpose better, rather than arrival
President Putin and its colleagues-presidents?
One year prior to grandiose show townspeople gradually get used to
To infinite chains of the trains, the blocked prospectuses and too
To nervous GAI officers. But members of delegations cannot get used in any way
To absence in Peter of hotels. More correctly, hotels are, but such
Level, that arrival only one president -
American - at once has put on knees all hotel
City economy. On the threshold of 300 anniversary celebrating city
Hotels in which threaten to lodge about 10 thousand only
Officials, in general look outsiders...
There is and more one version. As if Putin does not leave hopes
To return to the native city former capital glory. And while
On the sly Peter as accustoms world community to perceive
Place, worthy the international meetings.
With a question: "Why Putin so likes to spend in Sankt -
Petersburg different meetings, meetings and the summits? "- we have addressed
To our experts.
Sergey FILATOV, the former head of Administration of the President:
- Putin simply remains is correct to the native city, tries
To help it, to lift its prestige. Than more than meetings of the international
Level it is spent now in Peter, the there will be an inflow more
Tourists, businessmen, that is the will be at a city more
Money. On the threshold of the 300 anniversary of Petersburg it is especially good. To
To the same in Peter, I think, Putin feels more convenient, in that
Sense, that there to it is what to show to honoured guests. And
Activity "round Peter" stimulates once again carrying out
Restoration and repair work, which now there very much
Are widely developed. From Putin this display of the healthy
Patriotism, instead of desire to transfer capital in Peter.
Vyacheslav KOSTIKOV, the former press-sekretat of president Yeltsin:
- Conversations on capital carrying over are simply ridiculous hearings. With
Moscow connects the most part of the Russian history, and the president
Putin as the patriot of the country never will renounce the centuries-old
Tradition also will not prefer Petersburg, at all its love
To the native city. The another matter, that in Moscow is valid
All is too much in total banks, offices, the enterprises etc.,
The political life passes here. It will be absolutely quite good, if
The part of political luggage will be transferred to a perfect city
Petersburg with which our history too is connected. And that Putin
Spends there many meetings, it is quite explainable: if I was
The president-pitertsem too, probably, would aspire as it is possible
To thicket to come to the city.
