many of the questions that have already been asked to the president are being resolved promptly by the popular front, there are already more than 2 million questions, and as we see, these are not only questions from the military, economic, political plane, there are a lot of questions of a social nature, everyday, everyday, how- it often happens on the eve of a straight line, issues begin to be resolved even before the start of a straight line, and many people seem to say, why don’t they work before that, but nothing, at least this way is also good, let’s use it with you. we have tools that gives the popular front so that you and i can ask questions, and the popular front will, with the help of its resources, using local officials, solve these issues, they gave us the tools, let’s just take these tools and start working, where all this can be done in telegram channel stream popular front qr code on your screen, there is all the information, there are comments, there is an opportunity to ask a question. well, only a few minutes remain before the president’s big talk begins.

questions from journalists, appeals come from throughout the country, a special center receives them constantly, at the moment there are over 2 million 300,000 of them, and media representatives are already in the capital’s gostiny dvor, where the conversation with the president will take place. channel one will show the results of the year with vladimir putin live, and several of our correspondents are there in the hall. while there is still time before the start, you and i will have the opportunity to see everything. and not a single detail will escape konstantin. he arrived at

gostiny dvor in the morning, one of the first, at 9:00 during our news broadcast, thanks to him we have already been able to see how the final preparations are going on, the final touches, so to speak. konstantin, you are on the air again, and i see that the hall is now full. valeria, absolutely right, the hall is full, the hall has been transformed, well, we told you this morning that 600 chairs have been prepared here for journalists, look, they are all literally occupied.

regions, yes, journalists came from the dpr, from the lpr, but they actually came, well, as foreigners, for the first time this year they are taking part in vladimir putin’s press conference. that's more accurate, that's more accurate to say in the program the results of the year with vladimir putin , as journalists who represent the russian media, let’s pay attention, you see, there is a girl in green, and this is our colleague representing one of one of the dpr tv channels, here are our other colleagues, here is the girl is already holding a poster right now: kamchatka, yes, russia begins here, that’s right, russia begins in kamchatka, we meet the first dawn, first day, kamchatka, here i also saw a poster with the inscription cheikovsky. tchaikovsky what is this?

this is the udmur republic, this is a city votkinsk, the birthplace of the great composer petrovich tchaikovsky. will the question be about him, or about his homeland, or about the fate of something? it is associated with the name of the great composer. well, you know, it’s not so that you approach a person like that and all your questions are immediately answered, because the questions were not prepared for us here, not for our live broadcasts, but in order to ask questions addressed to vladimir putin within the framework of the program and such an opportunity to introduce myself. and one more thing i want to draw attention to is, remember the last years, when there was covid when we all. there was no comfort, there was a gigantic space and it was very difficult for the president to see the journalists, because the top was 30-450 meters away, but here now , as in the good old days, everyone is right before his eyes, everyone with posters, everyone who dressed brightly, will be today you will certainly have a chance to ask your question to the head of state. valeria, yes, thank you, konstantin , of course, we will return to you and will return, probably more than once, well, now ivan prozurov is joining the live broadcast, he, along with everyone else, is waiting for the start of the year’s results with vladimir putin.

this is causing a lot of attention, and we will now show it to you, we will show how everything will look from the first person, this is actually the working chair where vladimir putin will sit, but i will ask the operator to show what the president will see, here is this right in front of him a compact, laconic, modern studio where colleagues are actually located, some in national costumes, some with some kind of posters, everyone will attract the attention of the president, well, in accessible ways, but of course we won’t keep all the secrets to reveal, tv viewers of the first channel will see this already live, in general - a few words about the technical components themselves, the technical components are all duplicated, besides the fact that vladimir putin will see everyone perfectly, he will also hear perfectly, besides the column , which is located in the hall, another one here is installed near the chair under the table, in general , a notepad, pen and pencil have been prepared here for the president of russia, in general, vladimir putin usually

makes notes during a straight line press conferences, everything is ready for this here, also - right in front of the president on the left and right hand there are large monitors, so i’ll ask the operator to show them, now they have the screensaver of the year’s results program on them. and during the broadcast there will be sms appeals, appeals on social networks, to a short number, so that vladimir putin can respond to them, quickly give some kind of order, maybe immediately, or talk to, ask to contact the person who is making this appeal , actually sent, well, it’s no secret that i should moderate the direct line will be our colleague ekaterina berezovskaya, presenter of the first channel and journalist, pavel zarubin, and katya is now preparing the last preparations, we will distract you for a while, katya, hello, hello, van, this is not the first year you have been conducting a direct line. in general, this year there is a special new format, are there any differences , what will the moderator’s task be like? oh, in general, the task of the moderator, hello, colleagues, today is extremely difficult, because we have a united format, this is a large press conference, a direct line, which means more more questions, even more emotions

, let's see how long our broadcast today will last, this is actually one of those serious intrigues, if i'm not mistaken, the longest direct line lasted almost 5 hours, so let's see if we beat... will we break this record today, and as you can see, i have a whole pile of papers, they will be useful to me in the workplace today, this is an appeal from our citizens on a variety of topics, we will use them , pavel zarubin and i ourselves selected them, processed them, a huge range of issues, i will not reveal all the intrigues, i think that you will soon hear everything yourself, but the spectrum is really very wide, what do you need to be prepared for on a straight line, in addition to this preparation and how does the president usually react to some surprises? well, we’ll see how the president reacts , you have to be ready for anything, this is a live broadcast, and such a live broadcast is something that happens, probably, several times in life, with the presenter, i think, colleagues will not let you lie, well, of course, you need to be prepared for anything, in principle we are ready, are you a little worried?

you’re worried, well, of course, van, of course , you can’t go anywhere without worry, but how can you not worry, look how many journalists, how many of our colleagues, everyone is tense, there’s already less than half an hour left, these are already the hottest ones... will also be watching on the monitor, on the tablet , which is installed in the podium behind what is happening, behind the information agenda, behind the news feed, and react if necessary, after all, this new format of a combined question and answer session will last for several hours, in general, it’s very lively and a detailed conversation, valeria, yes

, thank you, but we are all waiting for the start, the whole country is waiting for the results of the year with vladimir putin, our correspondent olga knyazeva will listen to the president in gostiny dvor, now she is going live, olga. hello, you look great, over to you. thank you, valeria, and you know, indeed , as my colleague ivan prozurov said, the most important thing for journalists is to attract the attention of the president, and it doesn’t matter whether the reporter came here for the first time, or as i will now show the girl in yellow, she admitted that this is her eighth time here, by the way, she managed to ask the president a question five times, and i met the guys from ufa here, please look at them, it seems to me that they have every chance, you don’t feel hot in that hat , it’s hot, but here it’s just like that... the atmosphere is hot, so, well, plus i’d like to attract the attention of the president, so let’s be patient, it’s okay, but what question will there be? the issue is not related to the national agenda, the issue is more relevant for everyone, it is related to real estate prices, the fact that prices have increased, but unfortunately, the amount of the tax deduction has remained unchanged , so maybe the president will help

somehow raise it too, that is, you will still use posters, and a lot of posters, and by the way, pay attention, with this poster 2 years ago, my colleague won, so to speak, the heart of the president, we hope that he is charged, so now here... at the border, it’s difficult for us, but we are fighting, we will convey the truth, and sometimes our media are the only source of information for the western public , and i will talk about this and say that we are strong, but we still need to be supported, well, by the way, i want to note that there is a lot of foreign media working here in the hall, including from unfriendly countries, america, spain, we met the french true, very few people really want to talk to us, but they explain this with the protocol that it’s not...

us as a border region, yes, yes, the restoration of the destroyed infrastructure in the border areas, because shelling takes place almost every day, sometimes there are breaks, but they short, thank you very much , it’s actually very interesting how long this time it will last, the year-end events with vladimir putin will last, because when it was just a big final press conference, there was a case in 2008 when it lasted almost 5 hours and about 100 questions were asked, but i want. remember that in 2022 there was no such big press conference, so we will wait, that they will probably communicate

for a long time today, because the journalists are hungry, colleagues, well, the main thing is that everyone is ready, and the presenters are ready, thank you, olya , my colleague anton vernitsky is now going live . anton, you are a regular guest at large press conferences, the question has been asked to the president more than once, as i understand it , it’s useless to ask you what you will ask? you know, no, i won’t reveal the secret, because there are a lot of colleagues who are sitting here listening to what i want to ask, maybe they want to get ahead of me, we are at the very place from which dmitry peskov will hold the press conference, that’s actually him the stand he came to look the night before , almost around midnight, we talked to him in this very place, when the hall was empty, look, now this is what the hall looks like from this place, from where you will see it, you see that many have posters in their hands, but they are small in size, because such a recommendation

, the posters are no larger than an ordinary sheet, so as not to block television cameras, there is still a bustle right now, peskov comes here about five minutes before vladimir putin appears, that is, at 5 minutes to 12 they start the press conference, asks to turn off our phones, but he’s not completely kicking us out yet, although no, the press service is already trying to get us out of here, we’re finishing, we’re finishing, i just wanted to talk for a second. i’ll ask the doyen of the kremlin pool, konstantinovich , greetings, hello, what’s the question, well, the economy , the economy, the economy, now everyone is worried about the economy, did you sit closer to peskov, no, i sat down simply because there was a free seat here, good luck to you already ask a question, look here, i took a place, here is the first channel, i hope that me, excuse me, we're leaving, they're already kicking us out, unfortunately. we have to leave the hall, i will go with the cameraman, escort him to the point from where he will film, and i will return to the place

i took. by and large, there is very little left before the press conference , vladimir putin will watch from his place, the press conference will be led by my colleague ekaterina berezovskaya, with whom ivan prozarov just spoke, and journalist pavel, we’ll cut it out, but now we’ll go on our way place and from there we will observe what will happen at this event. yes, thank you, anton, right now we have the opportunity to ask a question to another of our correspondents, military correspondent dmitry kulko, he is in direct contact with the studio, dmitry, good morning, what’s going on, haven’t you been kicked out of the hall yet? valery, yes, everyone really needs to take their seats, we are already slowly preparing for vladimir putin to take his place and answer our questions, now we see anton vernitsky is also returning to this zone, well, what does he want to say? this format of open communication between the head of state and journalists, of course is unique in the whole world, but it is all the more important for

us personally because military operations are taking place now, of course i want to get a lot of questions, i’m sure they will be exhaustive, so for me personally the day before, and today, of course, what the guys need, what the fighters need, is not only military correspondents can understand, this can be understood by the fact that today the popular front sends to the front line during training camps, these are, of course , quadrocopters, and of course, these are high-performance vehicles. forget, today we, of course, are counting on such an open conversation on communication with the president, of course , here are the broadcasts, so there is never any need to talk about this , i have already seen several military corks from different publications with whom we worked in the donbass, everyone is also in jackets today, fortunately, and not in bulletproof vests, but what do they want today ask the supreme commander

-in-chief, the last meeting with the military correspondents was in june, then we also received comprehensive answers, but... six months have passed, quite a long distance, then the ukrainian counter-offensive was just beginning, now it has failed, our guys have repulsed it, and of course , i wonder what what will happen next, it is clear that the goals and objectives of a specifically military operation remain, in general, there are a lot of questions, we want answers to everything, but it must be said that regional issues, as you have already seen from the adventures of my colleagues, regional issues are also present and have not gone away to the background, because life goes on , so let’s now try to quickly approach the girls in bright colors...

yes, dmitry, thank you, but i’ll remind you that of course, not all questions will go live, it’s physically impossible, but absolutely there will definitely be a reaction to everything, either the local authorities or popular front activists will take care of it, well, right now we will return to konstantin panishkin, konstantin, are you on the air? yes, valeria, well , just a minute ago there was an announcement about vladimir putin’s press conference, or rather , vladimir putin’s year-end program will begin in 15 minutes, while dmitry kulko was also talking with the guests of today’s press conference, those journalists who are in the hall , presenters of the format that implies there’s a straight line underneath, it’s already here , you see ekaterina berezovskaya there, now they’re connecting the wires, well, there’s a lot to connect here, because you need to connect both microphones and backups for we don’t know how many hours, because well, the format determines here the duration only determines here

the president and journalists have never guessed when talking about how long it will last, yes, but there really is something special about the duration this year. since two formats are connecting, those journalists who are here they expect a conversation of 3.5-4.5 hours, in principle, they can probably count on less time and fewer questions, but because naturally, half of this format, half the duration of this program will be uh, but nevertheless journalists naturally do not lose hope after 2 years, there have been no big press conferences for 2 years, vladimir putin really expects to ask a question, well , everything works here, based on the experience of last time, the twenty- first year, what do they pay attention to, yes here... for example, uh, they say , a girl in red, that’s how the autoradio got the word, in white, that’s how our colleague, colleagues got the word from the satellite in green, a young leninist, our colleague in green, who was then in twenty-one , this year in yellow olga, the eighth press conference of vladimir putin, five questions answered, respectively, our colleague hopes that

today this count will become 86, but for now we will get to know those who are next to us, good afternoon , please live, you are you still studying? no, i’ve already finished, this is exactly my graduation suit, which i decided to wear today, what region do you represent, this suit, is it meaningful or to attract attention? no, the costume , of course, has a meaning, my name is, the authorities of our region announced that they want to make yekaterinburg the student capital of russia, so the editors and i decided to ask a question on this topic, and in order to attract attention and get a chance to ask a question , decided to stand out a little like this, a double blow, you have there is also a poster, i see there is, yes, yes, a poster, but we are a lot of tricky posters, we decided to ask two questions, so the poster is on a different topic, but i won’t show it for now, journalists are tricky, it’s true, every time, when they sum up the results of large press conferences they say, let’s say, 70 questions were asked there, and then you count, it turns out that there were only 51 journalists, this is why it happens, that’s because we are all a little cunning here, but who can blame us for that , i also want to draw your attention, here is kolma, yes, yes, kolema, russian poster, it’s hard not to

notice, too, and they deliberately sat a little closer, as much as possible, so that we could be clearly seen, and the bright posters. which our tv channel kolma shows plus the magadan brand, now we are trying to make exactly the same logo on our merch as lu these days? and, of course, as always, i am concerned about subsidized air travel, because for our region, as in principle, probably for every far easterner, it is important to have a large, to have transport links with the mainland, and we really want that not only with us moscow had a subsidized connection, but within the region to develop our tourism, that is, to develop - subsidies. within the region, we fly to khabarovsk more expensive than to moscow, i see the kazan kremlin, if i understand correctly, the question is from tatarstan, and today we already paid attention to alena morozova, after all , there are new regions of russia, so i want to draw attention. attention alyonushka, the girl’s name is also alena, let’s hope the dpr gets the floor today. alena, good luck to you, and colleagues, we return the floor to you. yes, thank you very much, konstantin,

there are already about 10 minutes left before the start of the year's results with vladimir putin, the journalists have taken their places, you are on the air. valeria, well, literally 15 minutes have passed since our previous turn on, look how the space itself has changed here, there was nowhere for an apple to fall, but now everyone has taken their seats, in general there is silence. calm, final preparations, the journalists are all literally stretched out, let's ask our colleagues to show who has what posters, who prepared what, here on the right hand is kaluga, sakhalin, the kuril islands, in general, you can guess the region, buryatia is probably even putin’s team, but we won’t reveal secrets, thank you very much to your colleagues and good luck, in general, one more small detail so that vladimir putin promptly responds to questions from journalists from foreign countries, have a look here prepared.

this is a whole special operation, one might say, to fasten the microphone for the presenter, these are the last preparations, they are always a little chaotic and tense, but it must be done, so i express, i hear, and here are the microphones, so everything is ready , we’ll start soon, well, whatever we wish, let’s not give up, damn it, good luck, thank you very much, well, let’s not distract our colleagues any more, because these precious minutes need to be spent to prepare, any minute now... the president of russia will literally appear here, in fact , vladimir putin will sit here in this chair, and of course we will tell it and show valery.

yes, thank you ivanovna, well, we still have a little time before the program starts, results year with vladimir putin, let's ask olga knyazeva, who did she talk to, what did she learn? valeria, hello, well, we have now left the center of the hall, now we are almost at the top, i will ask the operator to show how they work here. our journalists, indeed ekaterina and pavel zarubin, are now preparing, the last preparations, we spoke with many journalists today, and indeed, of course, social issues are leading as usual, and the indexation of pensions, the construction of hospitals, the next block is usually economic, but there are also questions that always then fly into the air, become interesting and make for a big final press conference, but in this case the results of the year with vladimir putin are brighter, but yesterday, when i was working at the accreditation center, i asked everyone to journalists: the same question, if you were asked to ask your personal question to the president, what would you ask, the answers were different, very interesting, many said that they would ask the president first, and where

he takes the strength to rule such a big country, and the girls usually answered that they would like to ask the president about love, what he thinks, what it is, what this feeling means, well, let's see how it will be this time, what will be remembered, and what i’ll remember the results with vladimir putin, colleagues, yes, thank you,

sometimes they live, you’re the one living with someone like that, right? well , i, no, but there are people who live and work in the regions of the far north, and our question specifically concerns this resettlement from the regions of the far north, komi republic, we have the yurgan tv channel, thank you, good luck to you, thank you very much, you also know what we paid attention to, well, sometimes minus 50, there are problems that are directly briefly, clearly formulated, and there were such problems formulated last year, it was written, for example, it’s just pain, i drew the president’s attention, it turned out that... it’s a trick, look,

our colleague brought two posters and i want to get married. well, this is a provocation to support young families, to celebrate the year of the family, so i want to get married, it seems to me quite logical, even justified, and you want government support for a young family, well, first get married, and then we’ll see, what’s the idea, is there not enough support or what? well, there’s enough support , families don’t always fall into one category or another, let’s say, well, plus to everything the year of the family, how it will be held, what events to expect, what will happen in general, and you ’re originally from penza, and i’m originally from saratov, i live in penda, but i work on the express tv channel, here it’s already here... in this sector there is an inscription that is practically the brand of our region, our a fellow countryman applied it to the stack , what else do we pay attention to, you see the poster help, yes help, yes help, what to help you, well, i’m from cuba, and right here in russia we have good cooperation between cuba and russia now from the difficult situation that kuva has under the us, russia always supports us and this is very

important for us. we have a foreign press here, who would have thought, yes, well, some said whether we should give the floor this year, a special military operation is underway, it is known what kind of relations with the west, sanctions, but no, all foreign journalists accredited in russia, foreign media have the opportunity to take part in a press conference, and therefore the nbc television channel is present here today, we saw cyrus simmons here today, somewhere here in the hall is steve rusenberg, this is the bbc television company, also who else we saw, matthew chance from cnn, we also saw diana

magni here with... who last year, 2 years ago, or rather, let's say, asked the president a question, we continue to move along we go further and further around the hall , everyone invites us.
