As Dmitry Medvedev flew to California (17 photos)
drugoi: First time coming to California head of the Russian state. Previously, apparently, there was no need, and hurt far - even a direct flight from Moscow to San Francisco to fly twelve hours. Yesterday, the delegation of the Russian planes flew from Sheremetyevo-1 - for the IL-96 tanks to be filled completely with the band at Vnukovo is too short. "Advanced" board with journalists and members of the delegation, as usual, has landed an hour and a half before the "main". All were sent to the hotel and I Sergei Guneyev of RIA Novosti and "brim" President Dima Astakhov was to meet the presidential board.
In San Francisco, not for summer cold and windy. However, the wind here seems to be blowing always. When landed about three days, the sun was still, and then with the mountains in the valley began to flow and gray clouds in the afternoon in the town was shrouded in all wet and cold fog.
Trap apply here.
To meet the Russian president arrived a veteran of American politics, the former secretary of state under Reagan, George Schultz (left) and US Ambassador to Russia John Beyrle. A bouquet of flowers - for the Russian first lady.
Since the Port of San Francisco stands now the Russian missile cruiser "Varyag", atmosphere was our naval attache in the beautiful white uniform.
Such visits take place almost on the run. All very quickly - taxied board, roll the track lined up at the ramp greeters at him quickly down the presidential couple, handshake, a short conversation, Medvedev sat down in his "Mercedes", all the cars have run up and takes off motorcade. Not a free moment, no pauses - they simply do not have time.
One minute before the meeting, there was the wife of the governor of California - Maria Shriver (left of the President).
Driving on the highway in the direction of the city was blocked completely. The long cavalcade of cars moved to the residence of the governor.
The number of police on motorcycles was very impressive - the officers were at every intersection, every traffic light on the path of the motorcade.
Members of the Russian delegation and schooled smiling Schwarzenegger.
Arnie was the cowboy boots made of crocodile skin. At his feet, someone had left a bottle of water. Schwarzenegger remembered filmed in winter 'Red heat, "and how much has been snow in Moscow.
And here is why everything together today. Less than two months, we'll have complained that the Russian Historic Site of Fort Ross in California could remain without money, and cease to exist, and that today the Russian businessman Viktor Vekselberg and Gov. signed an agreement "aimed at supporting and preservation of the national park of Fort Ross, "as stated in a press release. Simply put, this agreement Russian business rescues historical park from closing.
I spoke with Mikhail Shvydkoi, who flew here with Medvedev and he said that is not limited to cover the financial costs of the reserve, which is too heavy for being on the verge of bankruptcy State. We are talking about joint cultural projects of the historical education of the children and adults who come there, the further development of the project as a whole. In other words, Fort Ross live and now it will be engaged seriously. All this was very nice to hear.
Such here the case. Filming was nothing - first, a single protocol, and secondly, the Americans brought in a residence with all the light - it simply was not anywhere and photographed in the darkness with flashes. The hope is that tomorrow morning, when we first go to Twitter, and then to Cisco and to meet with Russian programmers will be more interesting. I still very much hope that the press-service will be able to penetrate reinforced concrete defense of Apple and I was allowed to get together with Astakhov. The Americans seem to have already agreed, but now again there were some problems. Let's see, in one word.
