About two weeks ago a phone call from the Kremlin press service and was summoned to come to the "Winery" - it opens the exhibition "Best Photos of Russia 2009" and Russian President met her visit. On Monday, I went to Vasilevsky descent, sat with other journalists in the van and we went to the 4th Syromyatnicheskiy lane. In order not to interfere with Dmitry Medvedev to look at pictures, a lot of the press was not invited - there were only two or three video cameras from federal channels and three fotokorra - "brim" of the president, already known to you, Dmitry Astakhov, Sergei Karpukhin by Reuters (was their turn to take the rap for pool floaters photo ) and the author of this diary.

On this day on "Winery" was off and Medvedev was the only visitors. However, at first we got there the guys from Ivanovo orphanage. "Winery" from time to time brings to his pupils from different orphanages, arranges them trips to the Kremlin and features its own exposure. This time the guests were and digital cameras - they fotokruzhok will participate in the competition, which conducts "Winery" with one of the producers of materials for pictures.

In short, when we arrived, adjacent to the "Winery" area was tipped, playground inside the factory yard frightened his unaccustomed emptiness, and the owner and director of the Centre Sofia Trotsenko in anticipation of the country's president was shaking like a leaf - worried.





Removes the audience familiar Russell and start waiting for the arrival of the "first person". On Vasilevsky we left about two, to start planning for four, but in half of the fifth was not yet clear when Medvedev arrives - "Winery" that day was his third or fourth event. Knowledgeable people say that the standard of such things was Yeltsin - the chief of his protocol Vladimir Shevchenko was able to achieve that by the appearance of Boris Nikolayevich could compare notes. Worst of all, they say the same people in the know, the situation at the current prime minister - he might be late for a few hours.



Reuters has already bought his photojournalist Mark IV. Sergei Karpukhin (jeans) came to him and they Astakhov discuss its advantages and disadvantages.



The guys from Ivanovo orphanage brought from the Kremlin, have fed the local cafes and watch the pictures were taken. Guide them was Sophia.

Medvedev arrived and talked with the children from the orphanage, photographed with them and went to watch the show.



So we dug and not particularly do not interfere with a person walking down the hall, guards politely but firmly kept us at a distance. Below the sign only Astakhov - put him in office.



It looked something like this.



Sophia quickly accustomed, ceased to worry and he and Medvedev turned out pretty interesting conversation about photography.

The press released, leaving only we Astakhov. Sophia gave Medvedev a catalog of the exhibition, and the president has brought in a gift made them a photo. Something from a trip to the tundra. I first saw the portrait of the man made Medvedev - in the photo the girl in national dress.
