Next week, Putin and Bush will meet twice. Moreover, the first meeting is more like a fleeting date: on November 15, Putin will literally drive up to the steps of the American president’s plane, which will stop in Russia to refuel. They will have 45 minutes to do everything about everything. What can you do during this time: express condolences about the victory of the Democrats, quickly discuss Russia’s accession to the WTO? For some reason, they needed this “personal conversation” on the eve of the official meeting in Hanoi on November 19 at the APEC summit.
