The world is talking about this man whose only concern is to humiliate America: Who is Sergey Lavrov?

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is a name that comes up frequently in the world press with his foreign policy and statements. Attracting attention with his attitude in his meetings with many important names, Lavrov is also a cigarette smoker. Let's get to know the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who the whole world is talking about with his sarcastic tone and harsh stance:

“His religion is the Russian state,” an expert told the BBC in 2013.

“Were the hardest times for Russia the years when Reagan called the USSR 'the devil's empire' and clashed in Afghanistan or these last three years?” Lavrov asked. “No doubt today,” he says when asked.

 “In the past, there were only two empires: the West and the Soviet Union. Each of them faced the other as a result of their rivalry in third countries. But they never fought directly on their own borders. Even public discourse was softer. No block has exceeded the limit granted to it. Now there are no rules.”

"MR. NYET" LAVROV

Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov, a foreign minister who speaks five languages ​​and is fond of poet, painting, rafting and football. Lavrov, whom the West calls "the last representative of Soviet diplomacy" and whom the American media has given the nickname "Mr. Nyet", is one of the Russian statesmen whose name the world has heard the most since 2015.

This name, who has guided the Russian Federation through numerous crises since he took office in 2004, already has a privileged place in the history of 21st century diplomacy.

He humiliated Joseph Borell

The 71-year-old politician is further proof that Putin heavily trusts those from the past. He is a shrewd diplomat: he can mock Liz Truss' knowledge of Russian geography, for example.

A year ago, he tried to humiliate Josep Borrell, the High Representative of the European Union (EU) Foreign Relations and Security Policy. But for a long time he refrained from doing anything about Ukraine.

HE LIKES THE USA TO THE NAZIS

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that the third World War would be "nuclear and destructive" and compared the Americans to "Nazis". Lavrov said: “Both Napoleon and Hitler wanted to subjugate Europe. Now the US wants to subdue Europe."

Smoker

Sergey Lavrov is the tough face of Russian diplomacy, career diplomat and former smoker who once cursed David Miliband.

He has petitioned against the ban on smoking in United Nations buildings, he likes Scotch whiskey.

POET LAVROV

According to the Kremlin's Men, Lavrov is also a poet. He wrote the anthem of the institute he studied at. Although he is close to not finding time for poetry anymore, some of his poems are published on the internet and in literary magazines.

In some of these poems, there is a melancholy about the traumas experienced by Russia with the collapse of the USSR. Lavrov's favorite poets are Vladimir Visotsky, Sergey Yesenin and Alexander Blok.

He also likes folk and jazz music. His favorite artists include the Beatles band and Frank Sinatra. He plays the guitar. According to his daughter Yekaterina, who married Russian businessman Aleksandr Vinokurov, he is a family man.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov penned a poem called 'One shot in the taiga' for the 'Smoke' themed issue of Russkiy Pioner magazine published in Russia. The poem was published both in the magazine and on the Facebook page of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The poem titled 'One shot in the taiga' is about a forest fire:

“The trunk of the pine tree, the barrel of the Berdan rifle smoked

The crackle of the fire, the smoke engulfed the taiga

In the heart of the taiga, in a hunting lodge

An ordinary man coughed in his sleep

Woke up, ran through the smoke like half drunk

Lavrov also has other poetry works. In February 2015, Lavrov's poems 'Emigranti Posledney Volni', 'Pososhok' and 'Kak budto vchera', written nearly 20 years ago, were published.

ALLEGED PROPERTY RICH

Like many high-ranking Russian officials, Lavrov was exposed to the actions of the EU. According to the news of the Daily Mail; Lavrov is thought to own hundreds of millions of dollars in property and other assets, and a report released last year alleges that he is a secret mistress of Russia's #1 diplomat and finances the personal lives of friends and family.

RUSSIAN MOTHER ARMENIAN FATHER

There are rumors for Lavrov that he will retire every year, but like his colleague Gromiko, he is one of the names who stayed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the longest time. He was born in Moscow in 1950 to a Georgian Russian mother and an Armenian father.

Little is known about the childhood of the Russian Foreign Minister. Although there are unconfirmed information in the press that Lavrov was born in Tbilisi, his hometown is Moscow. Sergey Lavrov's father is an Armenian with the surname Kalantaryan, born in Tbilisi. (Later Sergey Viktorovich remarkably took his mother's maiden name).

About his mother, Kalerya Barisovna Lavrova, it is known that she was from the Noginsk region, close to Moscow, and worked at the USSR Ministry of Foreign Trade.

During an interview, Lavrov stated that he was raised using the "carrot and stick" method, but was not subjected to physical violence because children in his family were never beaten. “My parents raised me by speaking, but words can be kind at times, and like a stick at other times,” Sergey Viktorovic recounts.

Lavrov's favorite subject was physics. That's why he wanted to enter both the National Nuclear Research University and the Moscow University Institute of Physics and Technology. But his Diplomatic career began in 1972 after graduating from the Moscow State Institute of International Affairs (MGIMO) when he was sent to Sri Lanka to serve as a low-level Soviet adviser.

Lavrov excelled in his profession and in 1981 became a senior adviser to the Soviet mission at the UN in New York during one of the most intense periods of the Cold War. He is fluent in Russian, English, French and Sinhala. He learned the Sinhala language in Sri Lanka.

REX TILLERSON AND LAVROV

He is referred to as Russia's "chief propagandist". Lavrov sternly warns that Russia will continue its "military operation" "to the end" and can lay the blame directly on the West for any nuclear tensions.

In 2017, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said of Lavrov: "You can't tango with Lavrov because he doesn't let you dance."

Lavrov has two main goals that never change: to use the veto card at every opportunity that will serve to glorify Russia and humiliate America.

SPENT GOVERNMENT RESOURCES

According to a new bombing report by the team of Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny (the report entitled “Yachts, bribes and a mistress”), Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has traveled with his mistress (Svetlana Polyakova) to two dozen countries around the world, and these trips are state-financed.
