Putin goes to New York. How will it look?
Putin goes to the UN General Assembly. In fact, this is a new series of the traditional American series “Dictator in New York”. This has already happened, probably a hundred times - the “main enemy” of America comes to her heart.
All the “main enemies” had different goals, although in the end everything passed through a similar scenario and ended approximately the same. And a month before the historical trip, I offer readers a test: whose example of behavior Vladimir Putin will follow. Having traced the preparation and analyzing the previous analogues, we may be able to guess what will happen to us next.
So, options.
Young upstart
The foreign policy career of Vladimir Putin began precisely with his memorable visit to New York in September 2000. He came to the so -called millennium summit - a meeting of the UN General Assembly, to which the departing president of the United States, Bill Clinton, tried to gather almost all world leaders. Putin was still a newcomer - from the moment when in Davos the famous question “Who is Mr. Putin? " Only six months have passed. Therefore, the summit of the millennium was perceived as responsible brisons for the new Russian president and it was very important for him to impress.

From the very beginning it did not set. According to the lot of the head of the Russian delegation, it was the first to act, while the owner of the summit, Bill Clinton, was the first to speech. The Russian delegation went down and made every effort - as a result, she bargained for Putin the opportunity to change places with President of Cyprus Glafkos Cleardis, which was supposed to go the fifth.
Clinton's speech was triumphant. He said that human life in the modern world is more important than the boundaries, sovereignty and independence of states. A few months later, Clinton had to resign, and it was his benefit. All other guests paid tribute to him.
Having finished, Clinton, under general applause, sat in place. Putin, on the other hand, was repeated the speech right in front of journalists. But when his time came to speak, Bill Clinton absentmindedly reached out, stood up and went to the exit. A minute later, a good half of the high guests rushed away. Vladimir Putin finished his five -minute speech at a noticeably empty hall.
The next day, he, however, took revenge on the offender. At the reception at the Museum, the Metro Bill Clinton stood at the entrance, meeting guests and taking pictures with them as a keepsake. When the American president spoke with Vladimir Putin and offered to take a picture, he suddenly snapped: “Are you still a valid politician? Why are you arranging a museum in your life? "
The master of the world
For the first time, the head of the Soviet government, Nikita Khrushchev, arrived at the UN General Assembly in September 1959. This was his first and triumphant visit to the United States: he drove the whole country, met with senators, and Hollywood stars, and with farmers in Ayov, and with steelmits with Pittsburgh. And, of course, he performed at the General Assembly. Khrushchev was in the center of universal attention and felt like an absolute master of position. On the trip he was accompanied by the first lady of the USSR Nina Petrovna - a photograph from her meeting with her wife of the young Senator Kennedy Jacqueline is known. The future first lady of the United States in pearls embarrassedly stands on the sidelines, and Nina Petrovna in a colorful dress resembling a home dressing gown is absolutely satisfied with the situation and radiates self -confidence.
