IVANOV INTERNATIONAL.
IVANOV INTERNATIONAL.
Personnel midovtsy unanimously assure, that the present minister
Foreign affairs Igor Ivanov fine knows the diplomatic
Kitchen. And it is valid, Ivanov has proved, that on this kitchen it on
For desire of the client can prepare any dish - and
It is reorganisation-shevardnadzevskoe, and it is westernized-kozyrevskoe, and
Majestically-primakovskoe.
Perhaps, all business in its surname? In Russia to have a surname
Ivanov - all the same what not to have any.
The future minister brought up in severity. The father, personnel
The military man, considered, that the main thing - vital training. Therefore has given
The son in suvorovskoe school. Mum Igor basically not so
Wanted, that the son went in the footsteps of the father. But as itself too was
The officer (Elena Davidovna worked in GAI), reluctantly
Has agreed on suvorovskoe - that the child in a court yard did not dangle.
In general, with discipline and self-restriction in Ivanov's family
Always there was a full order. Tell such history. When
Igor Sergeevich already studied in a faculty of foreign languages, its classmate and the friend
Evgenie Dymohovsky, unique from the students, having
Driving licence, drove across Moscow on institute dosaafovskom
Motorcycle also has broken rules. And when it began to stop,
Dymohovsky only has added speed. But eventually
The car inspector nevertheless has caught up with it and has selected a motorcycle. What to do?
Our student - to Elena Davidovne.
- Well, - Elena Davidovna at once has agreed, - I will help
To gain a motorcycle. Only bring to me it is right.
Nothing suspecting, the unfortunate motorist has stretched it "crusts".
Elena Davidovna has torn them on small slices and has thrown in pomojnoe
Bucket.
In general, it is no wonder, that Igor Ivanov's vital motto
There was a saying of ardent communist Dolores Ibarruri: "it is better
To die standing, than to live in a lap ".
How much at Spain friends...
For seven years, spent in suvorovskom school, Igor Ivanov
Has learnt to drive the car, to play a piano and has not bad studied
English language. But the main thing - school has made Ivanov
The collectivist. At translational faculty of Institute of the foreign
Languages of name Morisa Toreza (now it is Linguistic
University), in 103rd group of the Spanish language, where in 1963
Igor Sergeevich has arrived after elder sister, it has passed
Reliable companion. Became komsorgom groups.
Classmates recollect, that Ivanov was the ordinary guy,
It was allocated with nothing among contemporaries. Well, not bad studied,
Took a great interest in sports. Together with all could run away from lectures and
To go to Luzniki to look training of the liked football
Commands - Igor Sergeevich supported "Spartak". Was able together with
All to laugh, support a joke.
Oleg Kolesnikov, nowadays the employee of RIA Novosti news agency, tells,
That the Spanish language to them was taught by the thoroughbred Spaniard,
The charming, beautiful woman by name of Pakita. Its students very much
Liked, and one even began to look after it. She responded it
Reciprocity. And here somehow on celebratory evening at institute
The Trinity of the friends, one of which was Igor Ivanov, has solved
To play a trick on the enamoured. They by turns invited Pakitu
To dance. So for all evening it has not got to its admirer
Never. Such here humour.
After a third year the same Trinity passed training on
To Cuba. All of them worked as translators. Igor Ivanov has been attributed to
To "aviaexport" and veins in one of the best hotels of Havana. Somehow to
To it friends have come. Also have decided to bathe in pool. Have put on swimming trunks,
Took towels. But, to get to pool, it was necessary to pass
Through a magnificent lobby.
- Here in swimming trunks it is impossible, - has warned friends Igor
Sergeevich. - only in ties.
- So give here ties! - have joyfully cried all.
The door-keeper has opened a mouth from amazement when by it has proceeded
Group of suntanned young men in swimming trunks and with ties on necks.
However, already in student's years Igor Ivanov tried to conduct
Itself circumspectly. And not to do anything such, that could
To prevent successful career. Therefore in any adventures did not climb.
Once a course for the whole month have sent on a potato. As it
Often happens, city have not got on with local and on dances
Severe fight was fastened. All course participated in it. In
The end of the ends business has reached court. Has got also rural, and
The city. However Igor Ivanov has stood aside - it among
Fighting was not. And where it was during fight, already
Anybody cannot recollect.
It always the person was long. Somehow in institute passed
Interfaculty competitions on basketball. Shortly before it
Igor Sergeevich has hurt a finger, but it there was nobody to replace, and it
Left on game.
The similar case has occurred in Kazakhstan, where strojotrjad
Faculty of foreign languages has arrived, as it was necessary those years, to lift a virgin soil.
Igor Sergeevich who was responsible for group livelihood, unexpectedly
Was ill. Temperature under forty, and it is necessary to bring water for a dinner. With
Work overcoming weakness, Igor Ivanov has brought water and has welded
Dinner. And only close friends knew, that this dinner to it cost.
And still as the honorary member of Association of friends to Spain Ivanov
Each time before the most important holidays signs
Congratulatory cards. By the way, in this public
The organisations about 450 members. Somehow friends have advised to Ivanov
To make the facsimile of the signature. But he has considered it inconvenient and,
Despite employment, with own hand signs congratulations.
Speak, till now - despite a ministerial post.
Whence at hloptsa the Spanish grief.
After institute the destiny has thrown Igor Ivanov in IMEMO -
Institute of economic and the international relations, one of
The most prestigious then academic scientific research institutes. It is enough to recollect,
That in due time the deputy director, and then and the director there worked
Evgenie Maksimovich Primakov.
But to get from IMEMO to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, should carry very much.
Ivanov has extended the happy ticket.
He has met girl Katya, the nice graduate
ekonomfaka the Moscow State University. Which as it was absolutely casually found out
Subsequently, it has appeared the daughter of the then first assistant
The Minister for Foreign Affairs of Soviet Union Simeon Pavlovicha
Kozyreva. (Former Russian minindel, and nowadays the deputy of the State Duma
Andrey Kozyrev - not the relative to it, and only the namesake.)
Simeon Pavlovich held this post with 1966 for 1986. Supervised
Personnel questions.
In 1972 have celebrated a wedding. And beginner career
The foreign affairs specialist has made an abrupt bend. The father-in-law liked the son-in-law -
Business, tenacious, basic. Besides Igor Ivanov in
Perfection knew Spanish. Therefore, when there was a question on that,
That it is time to restore relations with Spain (in those days there
Corrected Ex and between us at all there were no communications), Simeon
Pavlovich has recommended the son-in-law on diplomatic job.
And in 1973 Ivanov as tell, has entered into the initiative
Group which worked under the aegis of the Black Sea sea
Shipping companies, preparing soil for an establishment dipotnosheny with
Spain. Ivanov has been appointed at once on rather high
Post. Not having an operational experience in diplomatic representative office for
Boundary, it became at once 2nd secretary. (For comparison: the graduate
MGIMO Andrey Kozyrev, having come in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, six years has stayed on
Posts of the reviewer.).
As tell, into group entered only five or six
The person. Their mission was so successful, that, speak, on it
The termination Igor Ivanov even has received the state award. And
When in 1977 have been established dipotnoshenija, Igor Ivanov
Became the first secretary of embassy of the USSR in Spain.
There Ivanov has stayed till 1983. Besides that it has worked in
To one country ten years on end, while usually midovtsy not
Are late on one place longer four. But also has risen on
Three steps in diplomatic tables of ranks, having finished
Business trip in a rank of the adviser-envoy, the second in
Diplomatic hierarchy after the ambassador. It, perhaps, unique
Case in history of the Soviet diplomacy...
And as family man Igor Ivanov above any praises. Already in 1987
To year, in fifteen years after wedding, he admitted to the friend,
Just gone through divorce: "And I with the wife even never
Has quarrelled ". Here already almost thirty years of spouse Ivanovs live
Soul in soul. Daughter Irina studies philology in Spain. Speak, in
The Madrid university.
The servant of two misters.
1985. Reorganisation. To the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has come SHevardnadze, which here
Was engaged in personnel cleanings, getting rid of domesticity. However
Ivanov this campaign has not concerned. Moreover, it has soon received
Post of the head of the general secretary most
Numerous division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which co-ordinates job
All ministry, became the right hand of the new minister. Evil tongues
Say, that a certain role national feelings here have played
SHevardnadze (mother Igor Ivanov was the Georgian). Anyhow,
On this post Ivanov well has recommended itself, and
SHevardnadze has sent its ambassador - all to the same Spain.
And the appointment to the post of the deputy minister of foreign affairs
Ivanov is obliged to Andrey Kozyrevu. Becoming the minister, Kozyrev, appreciating
Ivanov for professionalism and knowledge of structure of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has offered it
To interrupt the Spanish business trip. In 1993 purpose
Has taken place. And after a while Ivanov became the first
The deputy minister.
In Russia there was a new management style. As it is accepted in
The civilised world, the post of the Minister for Foreign Affairs was occupied with the politician
With own foreign policy strategy. And its assistant
There was an official thoroughly knowing how to solve orgvoprosy.
Line Kozyreva now name a policy of concessions. It was
The westernized line directed on partnership with most
Economically developed countries of the West. Ivanov diligently
Put it into practice. On memoirs Kozyreva, on it always
It was possible to lean: Ivanov was reliable and responsible
The executor.
But in 1996 of "Westerner" Kozyreva has replaced "blizhnevostochnik"
Primakov with the concept of "the multipolar world". The relation to
To the West became more guarded, search of allies has begun in
"The third world", struggle against NATO expansion was fastened.
Then many considered, that Primakov takes to itself new the first
zama. But responsible and reliable executors are necessary to any
To the chief. And Ivanov remained on the post. And when in September
1998 Primakov became the prime minister, Ivanov has changed an armchair
The minister. But, as considers Andrey Kozyrev, "Ivanov remained" on
Economy "- as though Primakov did not leave the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and is simple
Has left in business trip. So all questions rather
Foreign policy it is necessary to turn not to Ivanov, and to that,
Who defines it. And I do not exclude, that if tomorrow will occur
Shift and we will return to a policy of partnership, Ivanov
Still will be perfect the first zamom ".
Ivanov did not become the "political" minister what were Edward
SHevardnadze, Andrey Kozyrev, Evgenie Primakov. It does not have the
Lines. In other words, Russia has returned in those days, when
The Minister for Foreign Affairs carried out collective will of the party
Managements, the Political bureau. Did, that to it speak.
From here and all failures of the new head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Successes of the Soviet diplomacy.
Igor Ivanov's first big failure on a post of the minister became
The report on achievements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1998. There was nothing to brag.
Therefore as one of the main outputs of diplomatic year
Ivanov has named that Russia was possible to avoid "the face-to-face
Confrontations "from the USA. Since then this clumsy word-combination
Removes from its one performance to another.
When Primakov was the minister, such reports sounded much
More solidly. If special progress in this or that area
The international relations at Russia it was not observed, Primakov
Left the last period behind brackets. He spoke: "In the nearest
Time we plan to carry out new consultations ". And Igor Ivanov
Speaks: "to One of achievements of the Russian foreign policy became
Carrying out of numerous consultations ".
As the consultations which have not given result can, to be considered
Achievement?
Primakov covered the reports with an easy crape of the half-truth - Igor
Ivanov affords frank stretches. That there is a phrase: "In
The past (1998. "Profile") to year Russia has strengthened the position
In the world "! And it is spoken by the Minister for Foreign Affairs during that moment,
When about Russia unless have not wiped a foot.
As the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs against bombardments of Iraq protested! And
When operation "the Fox in desert" nevertheless has begun, even has withdrawn
"For consultations" the Russian ambassadors from the USA and the Great Britain. In
The end of the ends of ambassadors it was necessary to return. So bombardments the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Has not prevented, and relations with the western countries has spoilt.
Partners of Russia in the CIS dream of NATO. Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan
And Georgia have already declared an exit from the military contract of the CIS and begin
To agree with the alliance countries about creation in the territory
NATO military bases.
After bombardments of Yugoslavia Ivanov's authority even more
Has fallen. At least because first the minister gave the joint
Press conferences with military men - in particular with the chief of the Joint Staff
Kvashnin and its assistant Baluevsky, which brjatsali the weapon
Also threatened to begin the military help of Yugoslavia. As a result in
Society there was a fear, that Russia will be involved in war. And though
Ivanov separated from these threats, its performances sounded
In uniform chorus with general, as a matter of fact, forcing a military hysteria.
There was agency Rejter statement. In him, in
Particulars, it is spoken: "NATO bombardments of Yugoslavia
Promoted that before quite civilised and
The intelligent Minister for Foreign Affairs of Russia has turned in
The Antiwesterner which rhetoric reminds of the worst days
"Cold war".
The former high-ranking employee of the special services who have wished
To remain not named: "Ivanov's Sharp statements on the Yugoslavian
To crisis - purely emotional reaction. He understands, what is it will be
To be made comments as the miscalculation of the Russian diplomacy. To it obidnee
For bombardments of Yugoslavia, than, let us assume, to the Minister of Defence. And
Humanly he can be understood. It has enclosed so much forces in the peace
Process on the Balkans! ".
Political scientist Alexey Kara-Murza: "the Russian diplomacy trudges
At the tail-end of events. Absence of a serious advancing position on
To situation settlement in Yugoslavia - an obvious defect of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Besides it it was necessary to manage to quarrel with all leaders
With the countries of the West and simultaneously to stimulate the spontaneous
Increase of far right and militaristic moods inside
The countries ".
It was surprising to hear from the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Russia
The statement, that the secretary general of NATO for bombardments
Yugoslavia should institute criminal proceedings.
Andrey Kozyrev: "I about such only in textbooks read. After all
The decision was accepted not personally by Solana, and country leaders - participants
Alliance. Means, the minister threatens with criminal prosecution
To leaders of the leading states of the world! As it after that will be
To participate in the international negotiations? As will greet with
Criminals? ".
However, not all divide this point of view. The first
The vice-president of Association of friends to Spain Vladimir Beniashvili
Has told to the correspondent of "Profile": "Ivanov is not fluctuating
The diplomat. If Kozyrev defended a westernized position, at
Ivanov a position Prorussian. It is not intended to trade
National interests of Russia ".
In own way understanding these interests, Ivanov on one of
Press conferences has actually accused some politicians and
Journalists in that they became "the fifth column" the USA in Russia.
"In Washington the decision densely to work with some is accepted
The Russian politicians, public organisations and mass-media,
Which positions keep within frameworks American
Propaganda campaign ". The purpose -" to organise the alternative
To the politician of the Kremlin a line "concerning a situation round Yugoslavia. That
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, as a matter of fact, has opened "witch-hunt".
It is curious, that the former chief became one of such "witches"
Ivanov, Andrey Kozyrev. When journalists have asked Igor Ivanov
To comment on position Kozyreva, not consent with the present
Foreign policy in the answer have heard: "you it is better
Ask, on what American firm it works! "
(Really, Kozyrev works in a management of the American
The pharmaceutical company.).
Andrey Kozyrev: "It too professionalism - the Soviet school.
After all at the Soviet diplomatic school there were no arguments. What
There could be a diplomatic argument of intrusion into Czechia or to Vienna?
Any. They were substituted for concept of class interests.
But even during times of "cold war", in the Afghani
The conflict there were ethics of great powers when tried
To avoid direct mutual attacks, and especially personal
Insults. Personal attacks were characteristic for the Stalin
Diplomacy, molotovsko-vyshinskoj. Then Iosip Broz Tito (by the way,
The Yugoslav, the Croat on a nationality) was any to us not the brother, and
"The bloody executioner". John Forstera Dallesa (the US State Secretary in
1953-1959, the supporter of a policy "from a force position". "Profile"
) Named "dog". Performance of one became deification of all
The Soviet diplomat in the United Nations. He has exacted a promise in the order of conducting and
Has told: "Here just presiding over session has named
Me the gentleman. (It is usual practice in the United Nations, there all name
Gentlemen and the lady.) and so, I not the gentleman, and Soviet
The diplomat ".
The answer is organically entered in this context: "And who such
Kozyrev? On what company it works? "Following, obviously,
There will be a question: "And on whose mill it pours water?" Such stylistics
It is favourable that who will ask tomorrow: "And on what investigation it
Works? "Time has appeared the external enemy in the name of the democratic
The West following step it becomes obligatory search internal
Enemies - democrats ".
