Риббентроп: Дипломат от фюрера

So stranit͡s poslevoennykh memuarov bolʹshinstva germanskikh i inostrannykh diplomatov ministr inostrannykh del Gitlera Ioakhim fon Ribbentrop predstaet chelovekom neumnym, maloobrazovannym, samodovolʹnym, napyshchennym i sovershenno ne razbirai͡ushchimsi͡a v politike. Vozmozhno, v zhizni on byl ne slishkom prii͡atnym chelovekom. No dli͡a nas vazhnee ego vneshnepoliticheskie idei i ikh ėvoli͡ut͡sii͡a, ego konkretnye deĭstvii͡a, a takzhe ikh ėffektivnostʹ, svi͡azannye s nim sobytii͡a, imevshie globalʹnyĭ kharakter i posledstvii͡a. V zhizni Ribbentropa mozhno prosleditʹ neskolʹko tragediĭ. Tragedii͡a sovetnika vozhdi͡a, k chʹemu mnenii͡u ne prislushivai͡utsi͡a, no i ne otpuskai͡ut ot sebi͡a. Tragedii͡a talantlivogo, no slabovolʹnogo cheloveka, kotoryĭ ne mozhet nastoi͡atʹ na svoem, no ne sposoben otkazatʹsi͡a ot svoego. Tragedii͡a dobropori͡adochnogo burzhua, svi͡azavshegosi͡a s revoli͡ut͡sionerami. Tochku v ėtikh tragedii͡akh postavil Ni͡urnbergskiĭ tribunal, prigovorivshiĭ ministra k smertnoĭ kazni.

From the pages of post-war memoirs of most German and foreign diplomats, Hitler's foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop appears to be a man of little education, self-satisfied, pompous and completely ignorant of politics. Perhaps, in life he was not too pleasant man. But what is more important for us is its foreign policy ideas and their evolution, its concrete actions, as well as their effectiveness, the events associated with it, which had a global character and consequences. In the life of Ribbentrop can be traced several tragedies. Tragedy adviser to the leader, whose opinion is not listened to, but do not let go. The tragedy of a talented but weak-willed person who can not insist on his own, but is not able to give up his own. The tragedy of a respectable bourgeois, associated with the revolutionaries. The Nuremberg Tribunal, which sentenced the Minister to death, put an end to these tragedies.
