The energetic dance instead of a diplomatic ceremonial. About the change of the ambassador of Russia in Venezuela. Essay on the history of diplomacy.
In Venezuela - the new ambassador of Russia (credential was presented on March 30, 2020).
Zaemsky had previously resigned, having received both the Venezuelan and Russian orders. He was replaced by Sergey Melik-Bagdasarov, an employee of the Russian Foreign Ministry (deputy head of the Latin American department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
I could not get acquainted with the reason for replacing.
The topic is interesting.
Why was the ambassador replaced?
There is a subjective view of the author of this essay on the situation.
If in Sudan - there was a case - the Russian ambassador drowned in the pool, then in Venezuela nothing of the kind took place. Even Mr. Zaemsky, during a parting from Signor Maduro, was presented with a copy of the saber of Simon Bolivar. (Something like an épée, or similar to a sword ...).
Events are slowly but surely leading to major political changes in Venezuela.
It's even strange to observe this: the Venezuelan economy has failed, 10 percent of the population emigrated outside the country (it is not a deportation - about which so much they like to talk on Russial material), the "collectivos" are an essential element of power (let's not talk about Russial analogies ...) .
Who is worried about this? Is there really no cause for concern?
United States and several Latin American countries are concerned about this ...
The results of the activities of the distinguished gentlemen Chávez and Maduro - are these results bothering anyone else to the point to give them a principled assessment? Are human rights violated - en masse? Or it's possible to hide behind papers - protocols drawn up and signed by own people, and to rule as much as you want and with any results?
After almost 11 years in office, Mr. Vladimir Zaemsky resigned. He was in a good relationship with Chavez and Maduro.
But given the high likelihood of major political changes in Venezuela, to a greater extent a diplomatic flexibility is needed - than the qualities that are characteristic of the owners of an épée or a sword.
During Mr. Zaemsky's tenure as ambassador, Russia drew up numerous plans and carried out many economic and political actions regarding the natural resources of Venezuela. It can be assumed that not a small property was gradually accumulated ... What can be done with it? ...
Not only possible political changes stimulate reflection, but, also, - the situation on the international oil market ...
In the question of property (also) a creative approach is necessary... Understanding the Moscow climate and the Moscow wind is important - unlike the knowledge of internal Venezuelan nuances, which was considered perhaps a priority very recently...
Metaphorically speaking, we can say that now requires an energetic dance instead of a diplomatic ceremonial.
