He also acts as an expert in other Russian policy programs. His wife, Dina Isaakovna Kaminskaya, continued the dynasty of lawyers, acted as a defender in trials over dissidents. Simises conducted practice during the struggle against cosmopolitanism, in which an anti -Semitic character was traced.

Dmitry Konstantinovich did not consider himself a dissident in his youth, but suffered for liberal views, an objective attitude to politics and history. In the second year of Moscow State University, the student entered into a dispute with the teacher on the importance of literary works by V. Sims studied at the daytime department, but due to the conflict, he transferred to absentee form of training.

Later, Dmitry took part in a student debate dedicated to the participation of the United States in the Civil War in Vietnam.

He managed to become a respectable member of the institute team. The work of the young scientist Sims was awarded the prizes.

But Dmitry, from the student, retained an objective view of reality. He stopped openly expressing his opinion, but in his soul he cherished the dream of leaving his native country. The desire to emigrate surprised Dmitry's relatives. But the scientist explained that the science of “political science” cannot be objective, based only on one point of view - Soviet leaders. Jewish origin also limited the freedom of thoughts and actions of Dmitry Sims at home.

In the States, the political scientist hoped to meet more loyalty. Later, after his son, parents went to America. The human rights activists were forbidden to speak in court. They were threatened with arrest, constantly called for interrogations in the KGB, so the lawyers left the country. Konstantin and Dina did not oppose the Soviet regime, but did not support it either.

They only provided protection to the people who needed it in the framework of a lawyer ethics. Dmitry Sims's parents suffered for doing their job. Emigration Dmitry Sims filed a request for permission to go abroad and at the same time came to the field of view of law enforcement agencies. The political scientist was again arrested - for participating in the dissident protest at the central telegraph building in the center of Moscow.

Sims spent three months behind bars and went out only thanks to the assistance of international Jewish communities, which connected to resolve the issue of the Prime Minister of France and the American Senator. High -ranking officials turned to the chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union Alexei Nikolayevich Kosygin. The departure was approved, but Dmitry was banned from returning to the Soviet Union.

He left the country forever. First, Dmitry Sims left for Austria and lived for some time in Vienna. The political scientist arrived in the United States in the year and received citizenship a year later. The career path and political activity Dmitry Sims has always objectively evaluated the events in the world political arena. But the student was not going to criticize the power, but only strove for the truth.

The political scientist observed and listened to the moods prevailing among Russian emigrants. Most openly opposed the Soviet regime. But for Sims, joining anti -Soviet propagandists meant to lose their voice in the crowd. He did not intend to fight the Soviet government or humiliate it. Dmitry Sims became the voice of Pravda - the first in American political science objectively showed the internal structure of the country of Soviets and the direction of development of its society.

The Russian political scientist with unusual views attracted attention. Dmitry was invited to work at the Carnegie Research Center. Bibliography in the United States published books by Dmitry Sims in English: “Detente and Conflict”; "Soviet Succession: Leadership in Transition"; "Inter the Collapse" The most famous book of the political scientist - “Putin and the West. Do not teach Russia to live ”Sims presented an analysis of the political activity of Vladimir Putin as Prime Minister and President, and also criticized the actions of Barack Obama.

According to Dmitry Sims, the American president made decisions hastily and contrary to common sense.In the book “Putin and the West”, the political scientist separately analyzes the foreign policy of the European Union. European leaders judge Russia by their standards that it is part of their political space, try to drive into it as an inappropriate part of the mosaic.

Dmitry Sims writes that the Russian Federation under the leadership of Vladimir Putin is moving at his own development rate and in accordance with his traditions. Therefore, the attempts of the West to teach the great power of life are meaningless. She graduated from VGIK with a degree in the production designer, emigrated to the USA in E when Sims has already become a respected person in the American political elite.

The political scientist does not advertise personal life. It is known that Dmitry met Anastasia during a visit to Moscow. Sims accompanied Richard Nixon. Rurikova worked as a theater artist. Her profession seemed to Dmitry terrible in comparison with the serious profession of an economist or lawyer. In America, Anastasia Rurikova-Sayms continued the work of a theater artist, and then opened a jewelry store.

The business has successfully developed. Now the political scientist’s wife has his own jewelry company. The spouses had a son Dmitry. Parents raised respect for Slavic and American cultures, so Dmitry Dmitrievich Sims equally well speaks English and Russian. Politics in their family prefer to talk in English. But, according to Dmitry Konstantinovich, such conversations rarely happen.

Interesting facts Dmitry Sims were interested in anthropology in his youth, but he outweighed interest in history and politics. The political scientist respects Russia and wants the whole best country in which he was born. But Dmitry calls his actual homeland the United States, as he lived there for most of his life and is better familiar with the mentality of the New Yorkers than Muscovites.

During the presidency of Trump, the political scientist acted as an “indicator” of true intentions and the mood of the administration. After all, sometimes the words and actions of the president diverged. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Sergei Lavrov, met with a team of experts led by Sims, and was glad to actively participate in establishing relations between the two countries.

Dmitry Konstantinovich admitted that Donald Trump is a businessman, not a politician. The head of the Nixon center believed that the forty-fifth president of the United States made erroneous decisions due to lack of knowledge. Trump's formidable tweets addressed to Russia Sims recommended not to take seriously. The political scientist interpreted these messages as a way to throw out the negative emotions that the head of state experienced at this moment.

Political scientist Dmitry Sims was accused of espionage in favor of the Kremlin.

The evidence was given in his analytical article by the historian Yuri Felstinsky: a meeting with the president in the year, an invitation to the Russian ambassador to the meeting of Donald Trump with his supporters in the Nixonian center and communication with journalist Maria Butina accused of espionage. Dmitry Sims is now a political scientist continues to participate in the filming of the Big Game program dedicated to the confrontation of Russia and the United States.

He is in touch with the studio on the Internet and voices the American point of view on the topics discussed. Dmitry Sims also joins the discussion of political issues in the programs “60 minutes”, “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov”. The political scientist is still impartial in judgments, responds positively about the decisions of Vladimir Putin and considers the friendship between the United States and Russia an achievement.

According to the political scientist, calling the Russian president a killer is an extremely unsuccessful move. But it is impossible to give an unambiguous assessment of a replica, because its context is incomprehensible. In connection with this situation, Sims cited Napoleon’s statement that any state leader can indirectly be considered a killer, because some orders lead to the death of people in a literal or figurative sense.

As an example, the political scientist called the American president Harry Truman, who ordered Hiroshima to bomb.
