All -knowing Vladimir Volfovich spoke differently about this person. He called him one of the best ambassadors of the United States in Russia and claimed that the diplomat recalled from Moscow was a victim of the State Department. For, according to Zhirinovsky, "did not want to go to any tricks, just to fulfill tasks to activate the" orange forces "in Russia. With such selected words, the leader of the LDPR awarded Michael McFola in February a year before last, saying goodbye to him.
No less informed Maria Zakharova yesterday expressed the exact opposite opinion. Confirming the fact of introducing an ex-call into counter-sanction lists, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry seized the refuser, as she alone can. Makfolu, Zakharova said , entry into Russia is prohibited, because he "purposefully spoiled bilateral relations." Worse than that. “More than Misha put down this bilateral relationship, it is simply impossible to put up,” the diplomatian clarified the situation.
The question is, to which of them to believe - the wisest of parliamentarians or the most toothy of our official representatives? And who is he really, this American: friend or enemy? There is an intrigue.
Of course, it can be assumed that in three almost a year McFol has changed a lot. He was a real friend of our country, so bosom that he even refused to overthrow Putin, ignoring orders from Washington. And as he returned to America, he immediately took care of relations, and purposefully. However, these fragile constructions scatter even with a cursory acquaintance with the biography of the former ambassador.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Mikhail Antonovich disliked long before he received his appointment to Moscow, and called him the "paranoid leader." In Russia, he was going to actively participate in the process of rebooting relations between the Kremlin and the White House, but did not succeed. A week after McFol was approved by the ambassador, Medvedev, speaking to unicorn, nominated his friend Putin to the presidents, and from that day the process went back. It got to the point that the so -called journalists were arranged for the ambassador, and his service eventually came down to futile attempts to treat our paranoia. That is, for example, to counteract the law of scoundrels and personally participate in the preparation of the list of scoundrels involved in the murder of Sergei Magnitsky.
Even then, the Russian authorities hated McFola seriously, and this acute feeling did not become dull over time, manifesting themselves in every way. In the trolling of Zhirinovsky, who tried to finally quarrel the ambassador with the State Department. In endless comments, the tireless Zakharova, who chose him with the subject of her amazing jokes and angry, filled with civilian pathos of official speeches. Macfol, who has retired, became for them a symbol of that America with which I really want to fight verbally, and these battles have long been conducted in the mode of everyday propaganda special operation.
It turns out that none of them should believe - neither the parliamentarian nor the representative? Perhaps not worth it, yes. However, with one important amendment. The feeling that these and some other best people in Russia expressed, turning to America and her former ambassador, cannot but be recognized as genuine. It was a feeling of gloating.
The complicated Vladimir Volfovich packed him in compassionate phrases, decorating with bows and curls. Simple as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Zakharova did without jewelry and cut the truth-uterus without hesitation. In the winter of 2014, he still did not know that propaganda showdowns would turn into a full -fledged cold war. She knows not only that. The other day, America chose Donald Trump; The world, screaming, tilted somewhere to the right, slipping into the abyss, but in Moscow the victory of a frostbitten billionaire is still celebrated as if the Pindos, having voted in a referendum, decided to join the Russian Federation. The main thing is that Hillary, and the damned Obama, and the McFol served in these elections, lost.
That is why the finally liberated Zakharov does not really choose expressions. Democratic America worships today - this is what a blessing! It is possible that the ex-Posol was entered into counters-in-laws a year ago or even more, but he turned only now for a visa, and now the jubilant Foreign Ministry refuses the entrance to him. The case is practically unprecedented, except for the incident with George Kennan in Stalin's times, but the more expensive historical analogies for the country rising from the knees. Well, of course, I would like to please the freshly chosen triumph, shortly validing in front of the West and trying to humiliate Trump's enemies. Your enemies are our enemies, let's be friends against them, friend Donald.
True, it is not clear whether he will be able to appreciate the gift and whether he will thank for support and all sorts of services rendered to him during the presidential campaign and after. By the way, Michael McFol does not hide gratitude: I read, he says, for a compliment, such an attitude from the current Russian authorities. Immediately obvious, a well -mannered person, although the enemy. The striking non-income with an uncontrolled long-awaited new friend, and then a suspicion creeps up: what if he is even worse than leaving proven Russophobes?
These bad forebodings are able to overshadow the pure, evil joy of revenge for sanctions and arrogant semi -beam. Well, how about Obama with his inherent McFol and other educated people will have to be remembered later with longing and nostalgia? Cursing a new friend and recalling the golden time of unpunished rudeness, unscrupulous hot speeches, an idyllic cold war.
