The Moscow roads conduct to Rome.
In this surprising city you can speak in Italian,
French, German, Polish, Czech, Slovene, Croatian, even
On Hungarian and, it is final, in English. You will understand. Very soon here
Will well understand Russian speech. The matter is that one of these days in Moscow was
The contract on cultural and economic cooperation is signed between
The government of the Moscow area and area Friuli-Venetsija-Dzhulija (FVD) -
Italy. Why these two areas have decided "to direct bridges" among themselves
Among the first?
"The matter is that on the economic and scientific potential
They are similar, as twins-brothers ", - the minister of trade and tourism has explained
Areas FVD Roberto Tanfani.
"It seems to me, that our areas have not only rather similar scientific
And industrial potential, but also the general problems. Together we can them
To overcome ", - the deputy minister external economic considers
Activity of administration of the Moscow area Albert Trifonov.
For such conclusions at representatives of the parties, fastened signatures
The important document, is many bases. Before to sit down to table
Negotiations, regions have checked up themselves in business. Some years between
Close enough contacts in area exist capital area and FVD
Economy, sciences and cultures.
For this time of thousand Russian tourists have visited Italian area,
Known for the winter resorts, sea beaches and thermal
Sources. The Russian businessmen have highly appreciated possibilities
Business partnership with business circles of area. Involves all: convenience
Deliveries of cargoes, their placing, simplicity in registration of the necessary
Documents. It has allowed to pass all soon from individual purchases to
To long-term contracts.
The considerable place in relations between Russia and autonomy FVD plays
And cultural cooperation. In many colleges of area Russian is studied
Language. The Russian teachers and students pass retraining in
Universities of the cities of Trieste and Udine. Regularly there pass exhibitions
Artists, actors and art collectives act. Some years
Successively in Trieste the festival of the Russian cinema is held. The winner
Last year's there was Alexey Uchitelja's film "Mania ZHizeli".
City of a day life.
In that morning I had an important appointment. I have cleaned boots, have tied
The tie, has put on a strict jacket. All it has topped worthy the solemn
Case a headdress also left hotel on street. An elastic and powerful impulse
Wind has struck me in a breast and has tried to jostle back in hotel, and when
It was not possible to it, has broken from a head my solemn headdress, and
I have not had time to notice at all, in what direction it has disappeared. However, with me
There was still a jacket, boots and a tie. Last pulled my neck back,
Trembling, as a May Day tag...
Wind - the card of Trieste. Someone from local politicians
Names its European draught, hinting that Trieste - a city
At the main crossroads of Europe. And if Moscow, Lisbon and Berlin
Simultaneously open windows on streets of Trieste air rushes
Atlantic, Baltic and Adriactic Sea. Cities at crossroads always became
The reasons and objects of wars. Here and Trieste within several centuries
Passed from the Italian hands in Austro-Hungarian, German, American
And, at last, again in the Italian. The European draught, as in a fairy tale
Andersen, all has confused in this city: people, race, traditions, ways,
Cultures, the nations, religions, having made its classical cosmopolitan, having learnt
To speak in different languages, having brought up a habit to be surprised and be to nothing
As much as possible tolerant to not clear and unusual...
Meanwhile the wind assiduously pushed me in a back, as if adjusting on
The important meeting. And here, fairly shabby, I have appeared even on fifteen
Minutes earlier in the magnificent reception city mayoralty. An ancient upholstery of walls,
The intricate interior and furniture of the past centuries awoke imagination, and I not
Was surprised, if the head of a city has appeared in shitom a camisole and silk stockings.
Rikardo Illi was kingly exact. Small growth the thin
The person in a modest jacket and a shirt without a tie was extremely modest.
- You, possibly, have noticed, - has enquired Rikardo Illi, - that Trieste
Not quite Italian city. We, unlike other Italy, do not like
Night life. We have night clubs, but they mainly for
Tourists.
- Those who fairly gets tired in the afternoon do not like a night life?
- You are right. To inhabitants of Trieste to eat than be engaged in the afternoon. As well as during times
Empires, our city is the largest port and a shipyard of the Mediterranean.
Secondly, we - a trading crossroads of Europe, on which Russia in force
The different reasons about this day did not leave. We have got used to that the retail
Trade here is developed in much bigger scale, than it is necessary
To townspeople. We all 220 thousand, and are accepted by us annually more than one million
Tourists. So our shops basically for visitors.
Besides, we - the largest offshore zone of Europe. It means,
What is the goods made by the European community here are on sale another
To the countries without taxes and the customs duties. The wholesale buyer thanking
To system of shops and trading bases can buy here all the same, that in
Naples, Rimini, but with the huge discount and convenience of transportation.
Soon advantages of the local market will estimate in the market Russian.
There was an idea to open the direct aircraft service with Moscow. When it
Will occur, the Italian clothes and footwear in the Moscow shops supplied
Our negotiators, become aloud more cheaply. However, in our relations with
Russia, especially after visit to Italy President Yeltsin, is and more
Serious intentions, than simple trade. We too worry the defined
Crisis in the economy, connected with an inefficiency of the state
The enterprises. Therefore we try to privatise these slow
Manufacture also we are not afraid to give of them in charge the private foreign
To investors. So, the German financial group has bought recently from us vodka
Factory, Finnish - the ship-building enterprise, French - communication factory.
Why to the Russian well-founded investors not to begin business here?
The maximum financial and trading benefits for the buyer and the investor from
Russia - with it Trieste faces Moscow.
Naming the Moscow area and area FVD "twins", the signor
Tanfani meant first of all their similarity economic and scientific
Potentials. Really, it is a lot of general. 1500 enterprises in Moscow suburbs
And hundreds Italian factories could at the reasonable approach find a way
Mutually advantageous cooperation. While there is a little original process.
So, in Moscow suburbs the western factories on manufacturing of lungs open
Drinks. It at all will not help to reanimate manufacture,
Which today "lay on one side". Even a construction in situated near Moscow Frjazine
Factory on manufacture of washing machines will not facilitate position
Domestic household mechanical engineering.
Russian brains for Italians.
Something similar occurs and in the Italian autonomy. The manufactures
Are closed, and large - are bought up by foreign investors. The assistant
The minister of foreign trade activities of administration of the Moscow area
Albert Trifonov in reply to our puzzled questions has made a helpless gesture.
Say, we go on certain compromises to involve means.
The interesting idea has arisen in the sixtieth years and was brilliantly
It is embodied in Trieste by the end of 80th years. Its essence in the following: to construct
At the European crossroads fine equipped scientific laboratory
And to invite there all scientists from the Eastern Europe and the third countries, where
It is a lot of minds, and - it is not enough equipped workplaces and money for the salary. So
In mountains of Trieste there was fine equipped centre of science. In forty
Its laboratories work today over eight hundred persons. Half from
Them - scientists, from which third - visitors. A considerable part from Russia.
Notorious "brain drain" from our become impoverished country for the local
Centre of science meant opening of several scientific subjects in the field of the gene
Engineering and the quantum mechanics. "Flowed away" I have met some.
First two - Igor Korobko with spouse Elena - work over
Problem of blockade of cancer educations at cellular level. One more -
Nikolay Artemyev - puts experiences on the subject on the second in the world on size
And capacities sinhrotrone (the first at university of Berkeley). It is necessary to tell, that
All of them are connected with a centre of science of Trieste the contract providing,
That the Russian side undertakes to train from its part on the academic
Chairs of the Italian scientists. As though all is mutually advantageous. And nevertheless
Italians win more: "visiting brains" do much for development
New technologies of a small-scale business of Italy, for its pharmacology, practical
Medicine and even agriculture. Such is advantage enterprising and
The provident.
Next morning I left Trieste to Venice to fly
Back to Moscow. (Direct flight from Moscow to Trieste still should be opened).
International airport Ronki def Ledzhonari on the technical
To equipment already today it is ready to carry out intended to it under the contract
Honourable mission: to accept tourists, foreign students and business
Partners not only from Russia, but also from a number of other countries of the former Union.
Comfortable halls, cleanliness, cosiness, the sliding walls, capable to transform
Some halls in one big and on the contrary. Though tomorrow declare number
Flight: Ronki def Ledzhonari will easy accept on the mighty shoulders a part
Loadings not only the Venetian air gate of Italy, but also will unload
Rimini and Rome. As today on degree of the congestion an economy
General director Lorentso Odzhani is reminded by the airport, with which
Filmstar Afonja tried "to escape from itself". Even concept "quantity
Launches-plantings in a minute "here at all is absent."Naprjazhenka"in the afternoon,
In the morning and so all is quiet though in a golf play runways.
However "the zoo rule", formulated here comes into force
The wise watchman - "he will eat will eat, yes who will give to it". Really
Venice, Rimini hardly will so easily concede to Trieste the blood lines.
It is no secret, that processing of each air freight at the airport brings to it
The certain income. The above the turnover of goods, the is more profitable an aviaeconomy.
Casually in Venice like fogs: in these cases planes accepts
At itself the airport of Trieste. Here fogs a rarity. So idea of direct flight
From Moscow - sensible. One of support of it of "the air bridge" - international
The airport of Trieste - it is ready.
