The government is fully convinced that the 300,000 doses of
Sputnik V
vaccines
that will arrive in the country this Friday would not have been possible without the political decision of Russian President
Vladimir Putin
.
"
He's playing hard
," explained
Alberto Fernández's
main collaborators
.
With that certainty and with the efforts made in Moscow by the Secretary of Access to Health
Carla Vizzotti
and the presidential advisor
Cecilia Nicolini
, the Argentine head of state wanted to repay the political gesture of his Russian
counterpart
with a very representative gift from Argentina .
From a distance, Nicolini contributed the fact that Putin is a
fanatic of horses
.
As the Casa Rosada affirms that there is no one who knows more about equines than the Secretary of Communication and Press,
Juan Pablo Biondi
, the official took charge of the operation to entertain Putin.

Biondi, one of the few collaborators who follows the President wherever he goes, called the
traditionalist center of Ezeiza La Victoria
.
The head of the organization, Claudio Díaz, then donated
a message and a luxury nap
to the State to be given to Putin.
It is an updated variant of the so-called
Basto 900
, message that emerged in the mid-19th and early 20th centuries.
In particular, the gift that Putin will receive - which traveled on the Aerolineas Argentinas plane that will bring the vaccines and has already been delivered to the Russian Foreign Ministry - is an alliance message, with an iron brake,
made up of glasses and silver pontezuelas of 9.25
with monogram of two intertwined hearts.

It belonged to the countryman Don
Emilio Orlando Ricon
and the silverware, the whip and the stirrups are the work of the silversmith and goldsmith
Carlos Papasidero
, from Lanús.
The ropes, meanwhile, were manufactured by
Santiago Biondi
, a native of Rauch, who - as clarified in Government House - is not related to the current Secretary of Communication.
The clubs and the caronas, meanwhile, were designed by
Alberto Vomero
, one of the greatest exponents of saddlery in the country.

The President, who has already
confirmed that he will be among the first
to apply the Sputnik V vaccine, accompanied the sending of the gift to Putin with a letter of thanks.
Fernández had already greeted the Russian president during the last summit of G-20 heads of state, at the end of November, held virtually.
"I want to give him a special thanks, because we have worked hard so that the Russian vaccine arrives in time and form to Argentina," he said then.
