Source text - Russian В-третьих, не стоит игнорировать то, как органы американской исполнительной власти, действуя в не слишком благоприятных условиях, стараются уменьшить ущерб от политических порывов. Так, госдепартамент и Белый дом, солидаризуясь с пафосом республиканских сторонников принятия «списка Магнитского», всячески ограничивали его негативный эффект. Госдеп еще в прошлом году превентивно принял свой список (не обнародованный и, по слухам, короткий), дабы не допустить ситуации, когда под предлогом трагедии с Сергеем Магнитским в список «невъездных» конгресс начнет включать кого угодно. Сам фокус с увязкой списка и поправки Джексона — Вэника не только позволяет избавиться от абсурдного акта 1974 года, но и вводит визовые ограничения по конкретному делу в относительно рутинные законодательные рамки. Реакция России в любом случае будет весьма негативной, но из разных способов ввести в действие список выбран относительно менее травматичный.
Translation - English Third, one shouldn't ignore the way some members of the U.S. executive branch, operating under less than favorable conditions, are trying to reduce the impact of political impulses. The State Department and White House, while siding with the pathos of Republican supporters of the “Magnitsky List,” have tried hard to limit its negative effects. As a preventative measure, the State Department drew up its own list (not made public and rumored to be short) in an effort to prevent the Magnitsky tragedy from being used by Congress as a pretext for adding anyone it sees fit to the "banned" list. The trick of bundling the list with the repeal of the Jackson-Vanik amendment not only eliminates an absurd act from 1974, but also introduces visa restrictions based on an isolated case into a relatively routine legislative framework. In any case, Russia's reaction will be quite negative, but of all the ways the list could be implemented, this is the least traumatic.
