Slightly irreverent portrait of the Deputy Minister of Economy Michel CHARASSE by the Soviet journalist Natalia TURINE. The interview takes place aboard a bus boat on the Seine. CHARASSE, the cigar on the lips, answers questions about: Boris Yeltsin ( "I don’t think much of it, maybe it’s a bit hollow"), his first girlfriend ( "I don’t remember it well, I think it was called Martine"), alcohol ( "I have been drunk only once, by accident, for drinking too much digestive"). Natalia concludes with a thunderous "puke cigar!".
