  • Vol. 66: № 4, 2020: Summary
    International Affairs: Vol. 66: № 4, 2020: Summary. “We Are Paying for Our Carelessness” Alexander Chuchalin, Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences I looked at today’s statistics (the interview took place on April 30, 2020) and would like to cite these figures at the start of our conversation. Confirmed [Covid-19] infections are nearing the 100,000 mark. About 1,000 people have died from the coronavirus, including 70 doctors. I bow to their memory. They have sacrificed their lives to fight this disease. We are currently paying for our carelessness. There was a big wakeup call: We encountered a novel infectious disease, unknown during human evolution. However, every disease that has once affected humans never goes always: It is here to stay. The second wake-up call came in 2012. A man from Saudi Arabia was brought to a London hospital with a very good professional medical staff. A novel virus was identified, which was subsequently named MERS. We were careless because no scientific forecast was made. On December 14, 2019, Dr. Li Wenliang at the Wuhan Central Hospital described the same clinical features of a patient as were described in 2002. Regrettably, he died. I would like to stress that currently, there are about 50 known coronavirus serotypes. The coronavirus affects dogs, puppies. It was identified in chicken in the mid-1930. It is found in fish, especially the beluga, as well as in camels, African cats and pets. Academician V.I. Vernadsky formulated the concept of the biosphere – the noosphere. In the noosphere, humans have lost the ability to adapt to the environment.

Ogneva 1 Sochi State University, Russia Sovetskaya St. 26a, Sochi city, Krasnodar Kray, 354000 Student E-mail: [email protected] 2 Sochi State University Sovetskaya st. 26a, Sochi city, Krasnodar Krai, 354000, Russia PhD, Associate Professor E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Since Perestroika German-Russian relationships have been steadily developing fueled by close contacts between the leaders of both countries. Boris Yeltsin and Helmut Kohl, Vladimir Putin and Gerhard Schröder, Dmitry Medvedev and Angela Merkel had friendly relations resulted in some fruitful business projects, intergovernmental economic forums etc. In my article I will consider the activities of German companies in Russia, advantages, barriers and expectations. Keywords: German business projects; investments; Russian market; barriers; expectations; regional attractiveness. INTRODUCTION German business in Russia has undoubtedly attractive market, caused by the efforts of Russian government to attract more foreign investments. Dmitry Medvedev at the International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg in June 2010 that the number of strategic joint-stock companies would be cut from 208 to 41, and federal unitary enterprises - from 230 to 159. [1] Secondly, purchasing power of the Russian population increases every year. As revenues are growing faster than the supply of goods and services, Russian economy cannot meet this growing demand. At the same time, Russians are seeking for the products labeled ―Made in Germany‖, because German brands are well-known and popular among Russian customers. Thirdly, there is an increasing demand for such investment goods, which provide modernization of Russian economy.

Williams. It's the thirty first of October, 2003. Jim, it's good to be starting on Halloween for this conversation. This is being conducted under the auspices of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training at the National Foreign Affairs Training Center, and Jim this is our first session. I see that you were born in Washington, D.C. and a little bit later on you went to Princeton University. Did you grow up in Washington, or were you here as a war baby November of 1942? WILLIAMS: I'm definitely a war baby. My father went into the Navy soon after Pearl Harbor and I was part of his insurance policy to make sure there would be another generation. I grew up in Arlington though. My father got out of the military when the war ended. He stayed in the Navy as a civilian management analyst, so essentially he worked at the Pentagon and at main Navy down on Constitution Avenue when I was growing up, and my brother and I grew up in Arlington, Virginia. Q: Okay and you did go on to Princeton, class of 1964. Was it at Princeton, or even before, that you became interested in the Foreign Service? Interview with Mr.
