How the West perceives Lavrov
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has his own understanding of how he should be perceived in the West.
On the air of the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio station, the presenter asked the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry how he would describe his image based on the Western tradition, according to which the USSR Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko was called "Mr. No," and the Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev, most likely, "Mr yes"?
To the host’s question, Sergey Lavrov answered in his usual manner:
Recall that on March 9, 2019, it will be fifteen years from the moment Sergey Lavrov was appointed to the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the head of the Russian foreign ministry is an authoritative, extremely uncomfortable opponent for his colleagues from other countries and always up to the last defends the interests of the country, for which he enjoys well-deserved respect and love among Russian citizens.
Sergey Lavrov is a permanent member of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, full holder of the Order for Merit to the Fatherland.
Also, his successful work in the diplomatic field was marked by many incentives by the President of Russia and foreign orders and medals.

Yes, anyone, most importantly, so as not to "what are you pleased?"
