agree  Olga Cartlidge: congratulating government representative / I don t think it is a set expression in Russian (like Scott I have never heard it used) but it probably means what the Russian adjective suggests.

agree  The Misha: Government representative or official all around, and never mind what he does while there, whether it's giving some kind of a canned speech or simply sitting there picking his nose.
