An excerpt characterizing Gatilov, Gennady Mikhailovich

When it is no longer possible to stretch further such elastic threads of historical reasoning, when the action is already clearly contrary to what all mankind calls good and even justice, historians have a saving concept of greatness. Greatness seems to exclude the possibility of a measure of good and bad. For the great - there is no bad. There is no horror that can be blamed on one who is great.
- "C" est grand! [This is majestic!] - say historians, and then there is no good or bad, but there is "grand" and "not grand". Grand is good, not grand is bad. Grand is a property, according to their concepts, of some special animals, which they call heroes. And Napoleon, getting home in a warm coat from not only dying comrades, but (in his opinion) people brought here by him, feels que c "est grand, and his soul is at peace.
“Du sublime (he sees something sublime in himself) au ridicule il n "y a qu" un pas, ”he says. And the whole world repeats for fifty years: “Sublime! Grand! Napoleon le grand! Du sublime au ridicule il n "y a qu" un pas. [majestic... There is only one step from majestic to ridiculous... Majestic! Great! Great Napoleon! From majestic to ridiculous, only a step.]
And it would never occur to anyone that the recognition of greatness, immeasurable by the measure of good and bad, is only the recognition of one's insignificance and immeasurable smallness.
For us, with the measure of good and bad given to us by Christ, there is nothing immeasurable. And there is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.

Which of the Russian people, reading the descriptions of the last period of the 1812 campaign, did not experience a heavy feeling of annoyance, dissatisfaction and ambiguity. Who did not ask themselves questions: how they did not take away, did not destroy all the French, when all three armies surrounded them in superior numbers, when the frustrated French, starving and freezing, surrendered in droves, and when (as history tells us) the goal of the Russians was precisely that, to stop, cut off and take prisoner all the French.
How did that Russian army, which, weaker in number of the French, gave battle of Borodino How did this army, which surrounded the French on three sides and had the goal of taking them away, not achieve its goal? Do the French really have such a huge advantage over us that we, having surrounded them with superior forces, could not beat them? How could this happen?
History (the one that is called by this word), answering these questions, says that this happened because Kutuzov, and Tormasov, and Chichagov, and that one, and that one did not make such and such maneuvers.
But why didn't they do all these maneuvers? Why, if they were to blame for the fact that the intended goal was not achieved, why were they not tried and executed? But even if we admit that Kutuzov and Chichagov, etc., were to blame for the failure of the Russians, it is still impossible to understand why, even in the conditions in which the Russian troops were near Krasnoye and near the Berezina (in both cases, the Russians were in excellent forces), why was the French army not taken prisoner with marshals, kings and emperors, when this was the goal of the Russians?
The explanation of this strange phenomenon by the fact (as Russian military historians do) that Kutuzov prevented the attack is unfounded, because we know that Kutuzov's will could not prevent the troops from attacking near Vyazma and Tarutino.
Why is the Russian army, which the weakest forces won a victory near Borodino over the enemy in all his strength, near Krasnoye and near the Berezina in superior forces was defeated by the frustrated crowds of the French?
If the goal of the Russians was to cut off and capture Napoleon and the marshals, and this goal was not only not achieved, and all attempts to achieve this goal were destroyed every time in the most shameful way, then the last period of the campaign is quite rightly presented by the French side by side victories and is completely unfairly presented by Russian historians as victorious.
Russian military historians, to the extent that logic is obligatory for them, involuntarily come to this conclusion and, despite lyrical appeals about courage and devotion, etc., must involuntarily admit that the retreat of the French from Moscow is a series of Napoleon's victories and Kutuzov's defeats.
But, leaving the people's pride completely aside, one feels that this conclusion in itself contains a contradiction, since a series of French victories led them to complete annihilation, and a series of Russian defeats led them to the complete annihilation of the enemy and the purification of their fatherland.
The source of this contradiction lies in the fact that historians who study events from the letters of sovereigns and generals, from reports, reports, plans, etc., have assumed a false, never existing goal of the last period of the war of 1812 - a goal that allegedly consisted in was to cut off and capture Napoleon with his marshals and army.

Gennady Gatilov is a bright representative of the Russian diplomatic school. In 2010, Gennady Mikhailovich got the highest rank, which has been assigned to diplomats since May 1943 - Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. From 2011 to 2018, he replaced the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, and in February 2018, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Gatilov was appointed Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations in Geneva.

Childhood and youth

The future diplomat is a native Muscovite. Born in the summer of 1950. There is no information about the family, parents of Gennady Gatilov. Information about childhood and youth are blank spots in the biography.

After graduating from the capital's school, he entered the MGIMO of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the oldest university center in the country, which trains international specialists.

Gennady Gatilov graduated from the Institute in 1972. In the same year, climbing the career ladder began. A novice specialist in international relations was sent to Egypt, appointing an attaché and third secretary of the Soviet embassy.

Politics

In 1977, the young diplomat was returned to the Central Office of the Ministry, assigned to serve in the Department of International Organizations. Three years later, in 1980, the diplomat was sent to Jordan for 4 years, where he served as the second, and then the first secretary of the Soviet embassy.

After the completion of the working mission in Jordan, Gennady Gatilov was offered a job in the Department of International Organizations. The department's competence included issues of multilateral diplomacy and, above all, the UN.

Since then (since 1984) the duties of a Russian diplomat have been inextricably linked with the United Nations. Gennady Gatilov over the years of work in the organization has grown from an adviser in the political referent and permanent mission of Russia to the UN to the first deputy permanent representative of the Russian Federation.

Collaboration with (from 1994 to 2004 - Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN) Gennady Mikhailovich calls rich and informative. From a senior colleague, Gatilov learned to negotiate with foreign partners and carefully work out the texts of the draft resolutions under discussion.

The diplomat calls the most interesting years service under Kofi Annan, and difficult - during the events in Iraq since 2003, when the American coalition unleashed a war in the country. Sergey Lavrov then showed himself to be a top-class negotiator, defending the country's positions. Over the years of joint work, Gennady Gatilov took the best from the future Foreign Minister.

From 2004 to 2008, Gennady Mikhailovich worked in the office of the UN Secretary General as a senior adviser. Under him, 4 heads of the organization were replaced. In January 2011, Gatilov was appointed right hand Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. The competence of Deputy Lavrov included issues related to the participation of the Russian Federation in the UN.

The appointment of Gennady Gatilov, according to political experts, marked the strengthening of the positions of the "eastern clan" of the Foreign Ministry vertical. Gatilov is called a specialist in the countries of the Middle East and the Maghreb. The profile language of the diplomat is Arabic.

While working as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gennady Gatilov was remembered for his clear position on a number of issues in international politics. In 2014, when the crisis broke out in neighboring Ukraine, and the West took up arms against Russia, Gatilov said that Europe and America see the main task of blaming the Russian Federation for all the sins and do not want to objectively assess the situation. Therefore, the West rejected the peace initiatives of the Russian Federation for a political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.

In the spring of 2015, when Kyiv promised to send to The Hague international Court video recording of the documentary “Crimea. Way home”, in which the head of the Russian state talks about the events on the peninsula, Gennady Gatilov called on the Ukrainian authorities to focus on the implementation of the Minsk agreements, and not hatch counterproductive plans.

Gatilov considered the threat declared by Ukraine a propaganda move that would not have legal consequences.

In the spring of 2017, Gennady Gatilov outlined the attitude towards the draft resolution on Syria that appeared in the UN. The diplomat said that, unlike Western countries, the Federation was trying to figure out what really happened in Syria (the United States and Europe accused the country's authorities of using prohibited chemical weapons), but America crossed out the fate of the draft resolution with an air strike on the airfield of Syrian government forces.

Recall that then Russia and China blocked the draft resolution, causing the wrath of America and Europe.

In 2017, Gennady Gatilov clearly outlined his attitude to the Ukrainian initiative to deploy peacekeeping troops, saying that the Russian Federation considers it pointless to deploy a peacekeeping mission on the border of the two countries. Russia is not a supporter of the conflict that broke out in the east of the neighboring country.

Personal life

It is not customary to talk about the personal of diplomats, so information about the family of Gennady Gatilov is extremely scarce. It is known that the diplomat is married and has a daughter.

The declared property of Gatilov is an apartment with an area of 72 sq.m. in the capital, a land plot in the suburbs of 300 sq.m. and a garden house of 140 sq.m.

Gennady Gatilov now

On February 1, 2018, he signed the decree on the appointment of Gennady Gatilov as Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN.

Information appeared on the official website of legal information. Gennady Gatilov replaced Alexei Borodavkin.

Born in 1950

Graduated from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations in 1972.

"News"

Limited contingent

The topic of attracting UN peacekeepers to the Donbass from among the countries not involved in the military conflict arose this year. The Ukrainian side, accused by the Kremlin of stalling progress towards a political settlement, said it was impossible to hold elections "according to the Russian scenario." At the suggestion of President Petro Poroshenko, part of the peacekeepers would guard the eastern section of the Russian-Ukrainian border, that is, the cordon between the Russian Federation and Donbass, and the other part would be authorized to control the integrity of the elections before, during voting and during the tabulation. The Kremlin did not accept this scheme for a long time. Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov even called such an idea inexpedient, and Minister Sergei Lavrov said that “there is no talk of peacekeepers in the Minsk agreements.” Next, at the beginning of September, Nebenzya spoke in the same spirit. However, just three days later, Putin's statement followed. So will UN peacekeepers be brought in and where?

Kyiv is preparing "many surprises" for Russia

A delegation led by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, which will include his deputy Gennady Gatilov, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya, and chairmen of the international affairs committees of the Federation Council and the State Duma Konstantin Kosachev and Leonid Slutsky, will leave for New York.

Putin refused to participate in the UN General Assembly for the second year in a row

The Russian delegation, as in the previous year, will be headed by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. It is expected that it will include Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya, Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov, as well as the heads of the committees on international affairs of both houses of parliament Konstantin Kosachev and Leonid Slutsky.

Putin supported sending peacekeepers to Donbass

In March, Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Gennady Gatilov said that Moscow was aware of Kyiv's appeal to the UN with a request to send a peacekeeping contingent to the Donbass, but considered this measure inappropriate. He also stressed that the Minsk agreements provide for monitoring, which will be carried out by the OSCE, not the UN.

Putin ordered diplomats to use the social network Twitter

In particular, V. Putin focused on the need to use social networks especially Twitter. This statement especially pleased those employees of the ministry who have long mastered Twitter and have been trying to convince colleagues to follow their example. "Forerunners" in this area are Deputy Minister Gennady Gatilov and Ambassador to Great Britain Alexander Yakovenko.

Russia and the West are preparing for new battles over Syria

Nevertheless, on Thursday evening, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Gennady Gatilov told Interfax that Russia would not let the draft resolution pass in the UN Security Council. In addition, in his opinion, Western countries simply will not introduce it: “They will not do this today. The consultation process has just begun and will continue for some time.”

“But if they decide to do this, knowing that its content is unacceptable for us, we will not miss it,” Gatilov said.

"Dima Yakovlev's law" will not prevent already selected children from leaving

Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the ban on the adoption of children by Americans would not prevent the Russian Federation from participating in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. As Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Gennady Gatilov noted, there were no precedents for withdrawing from this convention.

Gennady Gatilov, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation: “No one can force the state to stop its obligations under international treaty in the field of human rights. There are no precedents for unilateral decisions to withdraw from the Convention.”

The Duma banned the adoption of Russian children in the United States

However, as Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Gennady Gatilov told Interfax, the norms adopted by the State Duma will not affect Russia's membership in the convention.

Russian Foreign Ministry: The closure of the UN observer mission in Syria will have negative consequences

By closing the UN observer mission in Syria, the international community has lost a source of objective information about the situation in that country, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said.

“The curtailment of the mission, in our opinion, will have certain negative consequences. First of all, the international community will lose a source of obtaining objective information from the field, and this is critical in the current situation in Syria,” Gatilov said, quoted by Interfax.

It is noteworthy that it was during this period that the Russian Foreign Ministry took the side of Iran against the unilateral sanctions of the United States and its allies, which began to be directly called in Russia "dictatorship by a number of countries and arbitrariness in the international arena." Russia has made it clear that it will use all its diplomatic influence to oppose a military solution to the Iranian nuclear dossier. The Russian Foreign Ministry promised to block any further sanctions against Iran and oppose any new resolution in the UN Security Council. “We believe that the sanctions against Iran have lost their usefulness,” said Gennady Gatilov, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister.
