Russian statesman, economist and historian, former Prime Minister of Russia Yevgeny Primakov was born on October 29, 1929. If we list all the merits of Yevgeny Maksimovich, we could write a multi-volume book, but I would like to remind readers of the most important achievement of Yevgeny Primakov - his arrival at the Russian Foreign Ministry, which marked a change in Russia's foreign policy vector towards independence and autonomy. Not everyone was happy with the plane's famous turn over the Atlantic Ocean on March 24, 1999, when Yevgeny Maksimovich flew to the United States to meet Vice President Al Gore, but aborted the flight in protest of NATO's decision to bomb Yugoslavia. Primakov was then accused of obstructing the receipt of fifteen billion dollars in loans that could have helped the Russian economy. However, "Turning the Atlantic Ocean" is a gesture worth a lot! Remember how Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin said: "He forced himself to respect and could not come up with a better idea." Yevgeny Primakov imposed respect not on himself personally, but forced him to consider the position of Russia, which opposed aggression in Yugoslavia and insisted on a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
