Russian ambassador spoke about his trip to California

The Russian ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, spent four busy days in the state of California, where he met with many people: businessmen, scientists, students and other representatives of the American society, reports RIA News.

Representatives of American business, I definitely all, at least with whom I met, said that they were not going to leave Russia,

said Antonov.

According to him, the "main problem" for entrepreneurs and diplomats is "the lack of predictability regarding the possible actions of the US administration."

The ambassador also noted that representatives of Russian companies that operate in Silicon Valley “face serious difficulties,” including those of a “political nature”.

At the same time, he believes that the people with whom he was able to meet during a trip to the state of California, in general, showed a positive attitude and interest in strengthening Russian-American relations.

Today, a visit to Fort Ross, in fact, ends my first trip around the country. I spent four days, four busy days in California. I managed to meet so many people. They were businessmen, they were scientists, they were students. These were ordinary people

told Antonov.

The ambassador noted that he had yet to analyze what he saw.

But, most importantly, I, unlike the television channels, which I constantly watch in Washington, did not feel dislike. Neither to myself, nor to the Russian Federation. All people approached me, approached, worried about the current state of Russian-American relations,

He stressed.

Many said: "We do not understand what is happening in Washington, we do not see any problems for the development of Russian-American relations",

added Antonov.

At the same time, he noted that many American journalists who wanted to talk with him during the trip were interested not in “real, deep problems of Russian-American relations”, but in frivolous questions and “fried facts”.

Such trips need to be carried out more often and brought to the Americans that Russia is not an evil empire but a quite friendly country.

Well, it's just in the blood of any media. The main thing is to shout first, they say - a sensation, raise the rating. But serious questions require time to understand and ponder their statements. You can fly with sensations ...

One ambassador is unable to do anything. Well, he can’t travel to all states with speeches. And they shut up the Russian channels (RT) with all their might. As far as I know, most Americans use cable TV, and our broadcast now (after the adoption of these laws) can only broadcast via satellite. RT had access to cable. Well, and what’s in “the most democratic democracy”, if, as it once was, you’ve got the deepest “voice of America” about the “strangulation of freedom of choice” when they silenced it in the USSR, now they have completely adopted the experience ..

And yet, “we” will write about Vitaly Ivanovich Churkin - for he must be remembered not only to “us”, but to those who have already begun to forget him!

Another tale of good people and bad boyars .... In 1941, the same tales were told about Germany, and then they asked German prisoners of war - Why are German workers and peasants fighting against the USSR ?! The Germans looked at questions such as aliens asking them ... Hitler promised them land in Russia and they attacked Russia .... Today, these US businessmen in Washington are promised further plunder of the Russian Federation, as under Yeltsin and they will gladly accept participation in it .... And such an ambassador in the Russian government does not belong, they are not able to really assess the situation and it is too expensive for Russia .... The fact that Russia does not have turbines for frigates today is the fault of such ambassadors and the like figures in the Kremlin ... who feed us tales of the brotherhood of peoples in the spirit of the USSR ... Each people has its own country and every normal person thinks about it, not about foreigners ...

[samarin1969]

You have described everything very correctly ... ... And your "Every nation has its own country and every normal person thinks about it, and not about foreigners ..." - you can nail on all the doors of the "high offices" of the Russian Federation.
I do not agree solely on the personality of Mr. Antonov. This, given his biography, "is able to really appreciate the situation."

[Nemesis]

Judging by his statement, I would not say that about him ...

"" Today is a visit to Fort Ross, .. "said Antonov.

From the story, “The First Chief Ruler of Russian America, Alexander Baranov, ordered the expeditions to California to find land for agricultural activities ... The penetration of Russians into California began with field expeditions. The first Russian ship to reach California in June 1806, became "Juno", on which NP Rezanov sailed, who for the first time established diplomatic relations with the Spanish and American colonists of California. Here Rezanov met his beloved - Concepcion Arguelo - the daughter of the commandant of San Francisco. This page of Rezanov’s biography subsequently served as the basis of the lyric the dramatic poem "Juno and Avos" written by the poet Andrei Voznesensky, based on which was created the highly popular rock opera of the same name.

During the expeditions carried out in 1808-1812 under the leadership of Ivan Kuskov, a plateau was selected 30 km north of the Rumyantsev Bay, separated from the rest by deep gorges and surrounded by timber forest and pastures.

In 1812, Alexander Baranov decided to build a fortress and settlement on this site, which was called Ross. ""

in, at a glance

The Russian ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, during a visit to the Fort Ross Historical Park, presented a commemorative medal to the leader of the Kashai Pomo Indian tribe, who agreed 200 years ago to go under the protectorate of the Russian Empire.
Representatives of this people - help - live in Northern California, including in the area of ​​Fort Ross Park. They speak kashaya. In 1817, an agreement was concluded between them and the Russian-American company, according to which the Indians agreed to go under the protection of the Russian Empire, reports TASS.

We do not understand what is happening in Washington ...

Washington itself does not understand what is happening. Several insane senators, an inadequate person who lost the election with her entourage, several generals, controlled media put the whole world on its ears and created chaos in itself, which is not yet known how it will end.

Whatever the “bubbles” the diplomats let in (this is their job), you cannot hide the obvious. But one thing is obvious - Russia, the only country in the world that does not want to lie under the United States, and openly declares this. Therefore, the United States, all its resources were thrown to eliminate this bone in their throat.

US ambassador cancels visit to Far East due to authorities' refusal to meet

The US Embassy in Russia announced the cancellation of the ambassador’s trip to the Far East due to the fact that the leaders of local authorities refused to meet with him.

“Due to the fact that none of the officials in the region, including the acting governor of Primorsky Krai, the governor of Sakhalin Oblast, the mayor of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, could not find an opportunity to meet with Ambassador Huntsman, the trip was unfortunately canceled,” the statement said message from the embassy.

The diplomatic mission emphasized that before this, Huntsman had visited Yekaterinburg and St. Petersburg (where, like in Vladivostok, the US consulates general are located), and both of these trips were successful.

“The reaction of the local authorities also led to the fact that we were forced to withdraw our request for the possibility for Ambassador Huntsman to talk with the commander of the Pacific Fleet of Russia during a trip on security issues in the Pacific region, which are of mutual interest,” the embassy emphasized.

Expressing disappointment with the cancellation of the visit of the head of the diplomatic mission to the Far East, the US embassy noted that Huntsman is committed to the “frank and open dialogue”, which should begin the path to improving relations between the US and Russia, “but the Russian side must also be ready for this” .

And do not drive the blizzard that the Amer ambassador is committed to improving Russian-American relations ...
Yeah ... improvements ... subject to Russia's compliance with all indications from the United States ...

Collaboration with the US administration is not possible. The ambassador to the United States should only engage in subversive activities (against the United States, of course). If he does not do this, then what does he do?

[1536]

That is, according to the ambassador in the American Society there is schizophrenia? The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing, the legs are generally separate. About the head and say nothing. Maybe it’s enough to separate the people from the government that this people chose so aphids otherwise? In order not to be disappointed in John and Sam then, and not start to regret them again fifty years after disappointment.
