Два дня в Кировской области

via Блог Джона Байерли on 10/2/11

Губернатор Кировской области Никита Белых пригласил меня посетить его
регион еще в 2009 году. И вот на этой неделе я, наконец-то, смог
принять его приглашение. Я приехал в Киров на день раньше официальных
встреч, чтобы увидеть Вятку, посетить достопримечательности в
окрестностях города и познакомиться с богатой культурой этих мест. Я
побывал в студии народных ремесел, где делают уникальные дымковские
игрушки, посетил великолепную художественную галерею имени Васнецова и
побродил по территории Трифоновского монастыря, наслаждаясь царящими
там покоем и красотой.
В ходе поездки я встречался со студентами и преподавателями Вятского
гуманитарного университета и был просто поражен, насколько богаты
традиции исследований в области американистики в этом вузе, и тем,
какие замечательные и увлеченные своим делом студенты там учатся. Мы
говорили о преодолении наследия "холодной войны", а также об
укреплении основ взаимоотношений между нашими странами.
Я был рад новой встрече с губернатором Никитой Белых. Мы договорились
продолжать поиск новых областей для контактов между Кировской областью
и Соединенными Штатами и развивать уже существующие программы обменов.
Я также встретился с представителями гражданского общества.
Но главным событием моей поездки стало открытие "Американского уголка"
в библиотеке имени Герцена. На меня произвели большое впечатление как
сама библиотека, так и энтузиазм её сотрудников.
Надеюсь, что моя поездка заложила основу для качественно новых
отношений между Соединенными Штатами и Кировской областью.

Two days in Kirov
In 2009, Kirov Governor Nikita Belykh invited me to visit his region.
Finally, I was able to take him up on his offer this week! I arrived
one day early to have a chance to see Vyatka, visit sights around the
city, and learn more about the rich culture in the region. I had the
opportunity to visit a studio where folk artists craft the unique
Dymkovskiye toys, saw the absolutely magnificent Vasnetsov art
gallery, and wandered the peaceful and beautiful grounds of the
Trifonov Monastery.
I was able to meet students and faculty from the Vyatka Humanitarian
University, where I was struck by the rich tradition of American
studies there and the bright and engaged students I interacted with.
We discussed overcoming the legacy of the Cold War and moving toward a
deeper and more substantive relationship between our two countries.
I enjoyed seeing Governor Belykh again. We agreed on the importance of
finding ways to deepen contacts between the Kirov region and the U.S.,
and will work to build on those exchange programs already present. I
also had the opportunity to meet representatives from civil society as
well.
The main event, though, was the opening of the American corner in the
Herzen library. I was quite impressed with the library and an
enthusiastic staff.
I'm hopeful that my trip laid the foundation for a new qualitative
relationship with the region.
