Dialogue with Sergey Mironov
February 7th, 2010
Dear Sergey Mikhailovich! I have asked you a question in an online interview in Kommersant. It is really interesting to hear Your opinion.
“Creation of a competitive innovative economy requires a complex of solutions to form a favorable investment environment, develop business angel societies, investment funds, etc. And, what is really important, have systematic support from the entire investment infrastructure on a governmental level. How do you personally see realization of such broad and complicated problem in Russia?”
Best wishes,
Konstantin Y. Smolentsev

You know, I am sure that to do so it is necessary to implement a very simple idea into governmental politics. All regulation of economic activity should start from engagement in innovations, modernization and increasing competitiveness of manufacturing, which is much more profitable than exporting raw material and importing useless consumer goods. Concrete measures are easily deducted from this idea – under taxes, credits, legal regulation of the businesses’ activity, protection of property, etc. Here, in this blog, I try to touch on these topics almost in every entry. But the most important thing, I want to emphasize, is not in separate measures, but in unity, in those measures combined for favorable (profitable) economic climate for innovative development.
Sergey Mikhailovich Mironov,
Chairman of the Council of Federation of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation
February 16th, 2010
It is hard to object your opinion, Sergey Mikhailovich. Then there is another problem – how to carry all of that out? On February 15th, 2010 an interview was published in “Vedomosti” “Miracles are possible” with Vladislav Surkov, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the President of the Russian Federation, Vice-president of the Commission of Modernization. He ascertains that many initiatives in this sphere have failed. I see that myself as I work with companies in the direction of increasing their investment appeal and attraction of direct investments. Techparks are more often simply premises for tenancy …. Full profanation of an idea! Mr.Surkov says in the interview that “All over the world demand for innovations defines the state and large corporations”. And immediately ascertains that in Russia “They (corporations) are not customers, do not risk for the sake of creation of new technologies. There is customer that will say “I’ll take it!” No one wants the innovation. And the state cannot act as the universal customer… the state as a whole is not in a condition to even formulate a qualified order”. And makes a conclusion: “We need a new “German large village”,… “territorially isolated complex”? Realization of which would be “Almost handmade, unfortunately”. And that is with more than 100 million people and vast Russian spaces? What effect will it provide or even an impulse for the country as a whole?
What do you think about Mr.Surkov’s concept? Is it a draft of state policy in the sphere of creating competitive innovative economy in Russia?
Sincerely,
Konstantin Y. Smolentsev

Between the lines
“Between the lines” by J.L.Vishnevsky and M.Domagalik. Different feelings than from “Lonliness in the Net”. And not from Vishnecsky’s letters – that part exactly tangles with the “Lonliness…”. Probably, because of the dialogue with a Woman, and her vision of the world.
Sometimes, it is really hard for me to figure out a woman. And sometimes I can’t understand why can’t she figure me out??? Doesn’t understand my simple wishes, my hobbies, my “loud thoughts”? Doesn’t want to or cant? Neither, nor. We’re different… What’s good is that I am not alone in the world with such questions. The world is built this way. There are men. There are women. That gives hope :) So if the world is simply built this way, there is a chance.
Dear God! Give me wisdom and strength to get through this! Amen.

“Love your angel or you will muffle the voices of day and night” (B. Dylan)
“Work is visible love. And if you work without love and you don’t love your songs, it would be better to drop work and sit in front of a church begging from people who work with happiness. Because if you’re baking bread with indifference, you’re baking bitter bread, which only half fills. And if you’re pressing grapes with reluctance, then your reluctance turns to poison for your wine. And if you sing like an angle, but there is no love in your song, you’re only muffling the voices of day and night in the ears of others”. (Khalil Gibran “Prophet”)

Uniting infinity
One of the most favorite movies of ex-Soviet people "Irony of life or S Lyogkim Parom" I was again (for a millionth time!) watched it with the Russophiles Circle – with a club of people, united to support, understand and create Russian culture. The movie was with English subtitles. I think it is unnecessary to remind that for the past 35 years this movie has become an attribute to the New Years celebration of the entire Russian speaking population of the world.
It was interesting to see reaction of French and English speaking viewers, who were watching the movie for the first time. Their emotions fully resembled the ones people who have watched this movie before many times – fascination! :)
Eldar Aleksandrovich, one more time I want to express my admiration and gratitude!
Art is a uniting infinity!!!

Lucky guy! Or is it a sign?
During Christmas holiday I have bought a bottle of elite French wine in a liquor store. I decided to open it right away. I took off the plastic cover... and there was no cork!!! Went back to the store. The manager was really surprised. According to him, it happens one time in a million! So I started wondering. Am I a lucky guy? Or is it a sign?

Thought before Christmas
Before Christmas, it is always a time for thought, reevaluation of your actions, achievements (or changes?) of the past year...
Last year was very busy. Lots of events. Different ones. Some of them were good: I have achieved what I wanted for a long time. And had to do. Perhaps, it is one of the main achievements. Trials to change yourself... Surrounding me people are more aware if I did a little bit? It is understood, that path has no end, while alive, but I do wish it did...
A lot of things about myself upset me. Probably from there sadness of the past year comes.
I will try to change. Then the world will change too. Undoubtedly.
To changes!

Big Hockey
Before Christmas I departed Russia with the flight as Vladislav Tretiak. Vladislav Tretiak lfew to North America to look for candidates for the Russian hockey Olympic team. My goal is less grandious – get pleasure from hockey matches with participation of Russian hockey players. I was happy for Russians yesetrday in the game of Ottawa Senators against Philadelphia Flyers. Anton Volchenkov has assisted goals, and Alex Kovalev – the hero of the game – has scored 3 times! Ahead – the Olympic games in Vancouver!

Good deeds of Vladislav Tretiak
On a Friday evening of December 11th after 11 years interval a legendary hockey player came back on ice, he is twice a winner of the Stanley Cup with "Detroit Red Wings" (1997, 1998), which is won the Olympic Games twice, 7 times World Champion, president of CSKA, Head of the Board of Directors NHL, as well as member of the Federal Council of Primorye region – Vechyaslav Fetisov.
And in the same evening a different world legend of hockey, Champion of Olympic games (1972, 1976, 1984), ten times world champion, multiple champion of Europe and the USSR, five times the best hockey player of the USSR, three times best hockey player of Europe, two times winner as the best goalkeeper in world championships, the first European to be placed in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, "Russian miracle" Vladislav Tretiak has invited to dinner his friends from the Charity fund, including me to one of the coziest Moscow restaurants.
Every time it is a pleasure to be around this kind and interesting person. Special sense of HUMANITY comes from Vladislav Aleksandrovich. He said it very well that evening: "it doesn't matter who we are now, famous or not, rich or poor, but there will be a moment when we are all going to be standing in front of God, and what kindness did we bring to this world?"
For several years now the Charity Fund of A. Tretiak has been carrying out annual charity auctions to help the poor Russian population. This thought has occurred in his mind at a charity breakfast to fight AIDS in Toronto, where in one hall two and a half thousand famous athletes gathered. Tretiak's initiative was immediately supported by the Embassy of Canada in Russia and Canada Eurasia Russia Business Association. The auction is a bright example of human cooperation between Russia and Canada. This program is not one time aid, but a long term project counting on a perspective. Its goal – to help people with limited opportunities, orphans, older people feel as a right member of the society. From the moment of the first Auction carried out in 2002, its popularity rapidly grew: the first auction gathered 5,000 USD, and the last one of 2009 gathered more than 127,000 USD. Gathered means are transferred for charity purposes to hospitals, orphanages, retirement homes of Saratov, Tver', Irkutsk, Moscow and other cities and regions of Russia.
This Fall an auction has been carried out in Toronto – for the first time. Nest time – in the beginning of the next year in Moscow. During a recent visit to Moscow of the government delegation of the Canada's province Quebec with its Premier Jean Charest, it was offered to Vladislav Tretiak to carry out a charity auction in Quebec â 2010.
However, charity activity is not limited to annual auctions and financial aid.
The Charity Fund of Vladislav Tretiak has organized a group of Canadian surgeons-scientists to come to Saratov and perform series of plastic surgeries for kids. Besides direct free help to the little patients, project of mutual help of the Tretiak's Fund and the Canadian Fund of plastic and recovering surgeries carried a knowledge character: it is some sort of master classes allowing to learn the practical side of unique operations. General name of the medical mission – "Facing the Future". A delegation consisting of five most famous Canadian doctors, participating in Saratov events, was leaded by a professor from University of Toronto Peter Adamson. He represents an association helping kids, suffering from in-born and acquired facial defects. Before that visit, plastic surgeon Peter Adamson has already been invited by the president of the Society of Russia-Canada Friendship, deputy of the Duma Vladislav Tretiak to Saratov for charity operations for kids with intense burns, in-born pathologies and facial traumas. But in general, work experience of Adamson in Russia goes way back with its roots to 1992, when a similar first free work has started in Yekaterinburg. Since then geography of this activity in Russia has broadened.
Tretiak's Fund helps sports and recreational complexes, municipals, hospitals, libraries, retirement homes and realized several other kind initiatives.
Low bow to you, Vladislav Aleksandrovich!
