Representative of the Russian Federation to the EU Chizhov relieved of his post

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree dismissing Vladimir Chizhov, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the European Union, from his post.

The 68-year-old experienced Russian diplomat has served as Russia's Permanent Representative to the EU and the European Atomic Energy Community for seventeen years since 2005. Prior to that, Chizhov worked as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia.

Chizhov himself spoke earlier about his desire to leave his post. So, on September 12, in an interview with journalists, he said that he was "uncomfortable to act as a living monument to the strategic partnership between Russia and the EU."

The diplomat then noted that he had talked more than once with his European colleagues, trying to convince them that it was better not to burn bridges that are so difficult to build.

The further fate of Vladimir Chizhov may be connected with work in the Federation Council, as it was previously reported that he became one of the candidates for the post of senator from the head of Karelia at the end of July.

According to the law, upon taking office, the head of the region must present three candidates for the post of senator from the executive branch.

It should be reminded that on September 11 the head of the Republic of Karelia Artur Parfenchikov was re-elected.

It would be better to release the EU from office first.

. So to work in that madhouse ... everyone can reach the limit of desire and possibility.

[marchcat]

for the post of senator from the head of Karelia

It is interesting that he has been to Karelia at least once, he knows all the problems of the region in order to be elected from this region. Will it be like Narusova????

[Greg Miller]

What are you talking about!? This is indeed ITS people!!!

[rocket757]

It's a problem... people don't know who they choose/don't choose...
Party list voting is complete...wrong.
Large, fashionable parties do what they want and this is a FACT!

[antivirus]

This is not about the EU.
Surkov's "sovereign democracy" is over.
Time for a new ideology.
Who, what, when? - It should have been announced yesterday.
And to develop the idiologeme itself the day before yesterday

[rocket757]

Not for complacency, for the sake of objectivity ... EVERYWHERE IS THE SAME!!! Dermocracy, this is such an ambush ... however, in another way, it is hardly better.
Maybe in some small, small country where everyone knows each other, it happens differently??? It's just that I can't remember anything worthwhile, alas.

Manage effectively - not the forms of democracy in England and Italy, the Germans observe

we need young assertive and aggressive cadres, the EU does not understand otherwise

Yes, at the age of 68 it’s hard to dodge Russophobes in a madhouse, but the senator is the very thing, it’s a pity, but not instead of Narusova.

[Well done]

Exactly. Like Kadyrov, you need to go there, but younger and smarter. Let this "rainbow" tolerance put in its place)

[tralflot1832]

I’m not allowed, firstly I’m starting. And if they appoint me in the morning, then by the evening the Eiffel Tower and the Tower Bridge will be on metal. Gonzalez will turn the Statue of Liberty in New York in a day to face the coast, and back to Europe.

It was a nervous job. It is right that a person is given a respite until retirement.

68 years old, already retired.

[Ros 56]

The cap of a diplomat is heavy in that madhouse.

[Boris Sergeev]

In this case, it turns out that the SF is just a sinecure.

[Uprun]

Today, I repeat, today - do we need to work in the EU on a diplomatic line, not in the embassies of countries, but precisely at their Sabbaths?

And for their own money! It would be better if they bought copters with this money ...

Better him in the Security Council instead of Nebenzi ...
That guy is literate, but there is no charisma ...

I support this opinion. Nebenzya uncle is literate, but compared to Churkin, who previously occupied this place (he rest in peace), he is clearly losing. Chizhov would be in place.

Successful work for Chizhov in his new post.

An outdated frame, for an honorary sinecure and forget about it

[mojohed2012]

They brought grandfather home. And right!
Why did he sit there for so many years?
He fought on the ice and nothing more!

[Anyuta Glorious]

Hmm...68 years old. Long time retired. Of course, that there is experience and TD, but purely physically and especially mentally, it’s hard to endure the load. It's time to do just consulting, and entrust the reins to those who are younger, more creative.

Russia should delegitimize the EU, there should not be any of our representatives there, only bilateral representation in European countries

[evgen1221]

And why should unwashed, foul-smelling under-sapiens breed politeness. If they want to communicate, let them bathe and personally go to the carpet with gifts. A trip to Russia should be a privilege for a European, and you still need to earn it.

Yeah. Charge Sobchachka from - to + and send instead of Chizhov. :) She will arrange a house-2 for them.

But a good idea! Ksyushka, when bridled, can bring benefits, in the EU she will be like a fish in water. Look, they themselves will start running away from her there and they will tell us not to come anymore and not to get our money! ..

[koralevviktor]

A feat that will now be very difficult to accomplish. A man of gold, these are now on the snap. It is a pity that not everyone will appreciate his actions for a long time. Ah, if we had another country, but there's nothing to be done here. Such are the times.

[notingem]

And where is the feat? The result of Ryzhkov's work is in the red.

[koralevviktor]

It seems so to you. If not for his efforts and the efforts of his team, things could have been much worse. It remains to be seen how his successor will behave under such pressure. Look at Nebenzyu, he is almost invisible. He does not even have operational information, unlike Churkin. Because the top does not consider it necessary to supply him with it.

[notingem]

What receiver? Where ? In Brussels, it will feel very good like Chizhov is now from Karelia

[koralevviktor]

If you are not in the subject, then there is nothing to talk about with you. Nebenzya is a recent example.

[iouris]

An ambassador to the EU is not needed. The EU is an aggressive bloc, not a state. On what basis the Russian Federation established "diplomatic relations" with him is a big question. Russians for the EU are Indians. The Indians cannot have diplomatic relations with the Big White Chief.

I know only one example: Iceland. When ordinary people demolished the government of bureaucrats who drove the country into debt bondage from the IMF. Gradually, all the inhabitants helped to extinguish these debts little by little. And the government, chosen from ordinary people, began to live within their means.

But this is definitely an exception to the rule. Wherever the path to power lies through "political parties", there is rot and dirt. Especially in parliamentary republics, where the prime minister is elected by the parliamentary majority, and he, the prime minister and the cabinet of ministers, are endowed with much greater powers than the president.
I believe that this is a perversion of democracy in its understanding as the power of the people, since in this case the power belongs to political parties, or rather, to those who support these parties. Plahotniuc in Moldova is the most striking example.
