Anatoly Antonov, awarded a medal for the return of the Crimea, was appointed Russian ambassador to the US

Russian President Vladimir Putin today signed a decree appointing a new Russian ambassador to the United States of America. Anatoly Antonov is appointed to the post of ambassador, which was previously held by Sergey Kislyak. Earlier, Anatoly Antonov (from 2011 to 2016 years) served as Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia, and then (from December 2016) - Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia.

From the presidential decree, the text of which is given by RIA News:

To appoint Anatoly Ivanovich Antonov as ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the United States of America and as a permanent observer of the Russian Federation to the Organization of American States in Washington.

From the biography of Anatoly Antonov:

He was born in 1955 in Omsk. In 1978, he graduated from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs). From the same year he joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1984, he graduated from the MGIMO postgraduate program. He has the degree of Doctor of Political Sciences, as well as the degree of candidate of economic sciences. Speaks two foreign languages: English and Burmese. He has numerous state awards, including the Order of Alexander Nevsky and a medal for the return of the Crimea. Anatoly Antonov has been under sanctions from the EU, Canada and Ukraine since 2015.

Recall that today the American embassy has spread information that suspends the issuance of non-immigration visas for Russian citizens.

And what will happen if the United States does not give him the status of ambassador of the Russian Federation, i.e. won't give credentials?

And this is BETTER !!!! Then he will receive the "status" of the "temporary attorney" and will be able to say EVERYTHING he wants !!!!!

[Kurare]

CAN SAY EVERYTHING he wants !!!!!

Actually, this is what distinguishes a good diplomat from a bad one, a good one says what is necessary, and a bad one ... well, you wrote it yourself.

But I seriously meant that they might not give the status of the ambassador of Russia precisely because of sanctions.

Yes, he will inherit, but the move is very interesting.

Well, then what is SUCH ???? "Compromise him, do not compromise" ..... WHAT will change ??? Never mind!!!

A subtle hint of Alaska ..? Ah yes Putin, oh yes .. The highest level of trolling! Let's look at the reaction of the USA ..

How will he work in the USA if he is under their sanctions!
Oh, not an easy assignment !!!

[g1v2]

So all the same, Alaska.

[Finches]

He’ll go to hand his credentials, and indeed let him wear this medal on the lapel of his jacket in order to resemble a pin ... to the Americans who are in the house, our Russian house, including the wretched Ukraine, the owner !!!

Well you give. Putin has a purely Odessa sense of humor.

I like the work of my president for 15 years. This Russian girl was so lucky. Few countries in which the vast majority of residents are pretty president-driven.

And it's nice that we coincided)

Do not give out the main tasks of the new ambassador ...

Good afternoon!!! No, unfortunately, there is no question of returning yet .... so far only to indicate the possibilities !!!! Well, in secret hope to send the American ambassador in reply ....

[Dimal777]

you don’t have to return, but a civil war there to be re-organized there and in every way possible to support it would be excellent.

Did he already get agreman? Or did our sworn partners only today learn about the candidacy of the new Russian ambassador?

Quote: UAZ 452

Did he already get agreman?

Washington issued an agreman for the appointment of Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Anatoly Antonov as the Russian ambassador to the United States. About this on Friday, July 28, the newspaper Izvestia writes. “Agreman is received.

[alien308]

Is he good for president?

[Flinky]

Trolling 160 level. Especially if Antonov will always be with all his awards, including the medal "For the Return of Crimea".

[Not served]

But they appointed Tefta to Russia after Ukraine, a symmetrical answer.
Supporting civil war in the States is not our method. We are all the same humanists, unlike Partners.

[garnik]

I always believed that the former military or FSB officers should have shown responsible posts who had shown themselves to be the best in their previous service. Nevertheless, patriots can be most often found among them.

one cannot do without the other and one complements the other

[faiver]

different specifics

[A. Privalov]

Trolling, of course, good. Why, can the staff members and refuse to receive such an ambassador. Precedents in the world are known. Do not accept trump credentials and ku-ku ... For a diplomatic worker, this means a complete collapse of a career with all the consequences. Do not feel sorry for the person?

You probably forgot Russia) We have everything like the Russians. Minister Lavrov "DB" said live - the country applauded - in another country, a person’s career would be over. Do not pull on us Anglo-Saxon standards and guests)

we have everything fine in this regard) all in good conscience and deservingly)

It is interesting how a personnel diplomat relates to trolling ??? Endos generally appoint ambassadors for anybody. I think if Trump (or whoever does it there) does not accept him as an ambassador, then in Russia they will immediately give him a mountain of Russia)

[Old military officer]

Receive and sign. Do not want Kislyak, let there be a warrior, they are not former.

[TsUS-Air Force]

and if he is under sanctions, he will be allowed to go to America? :)

As a military man, he will not particularly ask. The task is set to: COME and HAND. But since he is traveling as a diplomat, there will most likely be no corpses ... many ...

[uskrabut]

Obamku should have been awarded the same medal. And then the man tried, helped and was left without a reward.

[Settlement Oparyshev]

Enough Obama and peace prize, deserved the darkest.

Oh, damn yourself news! Serious uncle! Colonel General! I remember his reports, I always dragged from them! Yuzam is definitely a kirdyk! Their only salvation is to declare him to be banned!
