[000:00:00;00] senators, deputies, members of the government, state council , public chamber, governors, journalists, bloggers and even foreign journalists gathered for the ceremony , you know, many people who used to say that we are absolutely political are now maximally immersed in this whole agenda that is happening , because everything is now perceived much differently, much more acutely , and many, of course, are worried about the future,

their own future, the future of the country, because this is not... the main political event for which today, the attention of millions of people not only in our country, but beyond its borders is riveted; at exactly noon, the president will address the federal assembly. this year it will become the twenty-ninth in the entire history of such appeals and the nineteenth for vladimir putin. the address of the head of state traditionally determines the directions of domestic policy, the main problems and mechanisms for solving them; how the russian leader will focus and what tasks he will set will determine how it will develop. country, and means our future is with you. the interest is always huge; in gostiny dvor, where everything will take place, the entire political and business elite of the country, senators, deputies, members of the government, representatives of the business community, journalists have gathered; for the second year now, participants in a special military operation have been invited. channel one will broadcast the president's address to the federal assembly live. several of our film crews are working in gostiny dvor today, and

my colleague, anton vernitsky, is the first to contact us. anton, hello, well, is the number ready? one? hello, readiness is indeed number one, less than half an hour remains before the start of the message, as you can see, the hall is already almost full, volunteers are helping the guests to sit down, the seating is free , whoever takes which seat is sitting there, we talked on the sidelines before the start, why? everyone who came here to the hall of the gostiny dvor expects from the president’s message, this is what we learned

in the economic sphere, we will be obliged to fulfill, well - of course, and the conversation will be about agriculture, according to the minister, we are developing very well, with the past harvest everything is fine for planting, despite the fact that the calendar spring is only ready tomorrow, but we asked dmitry patryshev about the so-called grain deal, here is his answer, about the message and the grain deal, this grain deal is not very interesting to us, we have our own opportunities

for exporting our grain, they will not depend in any way on the grain deal, we will renew or not, but this is a largely political question, we are a technical executor, well, something from what was promised to us, at least something has been accomplished since the summer of last year, no, nothing to scratch, there were attempts, but nothing really happened, as you understand , there are representatives of a variety of professions in the hall, that’s what concerns medicine, no doubt in the year of the family, but 2014. thank you very much, anton, together with you we are waiting for the president’s message, right now konstantin panyushkin is in touch with you, he has been working in gostiny dvor since the morning, i see that you are standing next to the president’s press secretary, i give the floor to you, konstantin and dmitry sergeevich. alena, good afternoon, indeed, we are now, we have

the opportunity to talk. president dmitry sergeevich, thank you very much for devoting your time to us, thank you, and as for the preparations for this year, we simply cannot help but pay attention to the president’s remark, which was said at the asya forum a few days ago, vladimir putin said, it will be staging. 2 weeks before the elections, the presidential elections themselves, so, of course, in many ways, in many ways this will be the program with which candidate putin goes to the elections, in this the peculiarity of this year, uh, really

is the horizon, the horizon, this is the thirtieth year, but uh , most likely, most likely, the message will also voice more distant horizons, broader prospects, that is, we are going beyond the perspective. sure, but how far? well , let's wait for the message , let's not prejudge, yes, after all, the president said at least 6 years, yes, but basically we are talking, of course, about the horizon until the thirtieth year, this is the extension of programs, which will be discussed, many , which end now, is very important, the worldview is very important, the specific plan of action that putin

is pursuing. happened this time, the government takes the most active part, the presidential administration, experts, assistants to the head of state are directly involved in the process of sketching out ideas, preliminary coordination of positions, and then this is finalized by the president himself, it is very important to note here, we know that putin is absolutely far from populism, and the easiest thing

is probably... in the depths of those departments that i spoke about, well, according to the departments’ plans, it’s simply impossible not to pay attention to how intense the president’s work in the regions was now , let’s just list it separated by commas, here , in addition to traditional trips to st. petersburg, there were the far east in all its manifestations, and kaleningrad, and tula, and chelyabrinsk, and yekaterinburg, and kazan , everywhere there was a meeting with the public, everywhere there was a meeting with enterprise teams, everyone had ideas, everyone asked putin to think about this, think about that, and no one got it. direct refusal: no, it won’t, or we’ll do it right now, we’ll think about it, can we expect that to some extent these ideas will be reflected today in the form of instructions? of course , the president’s regular trips to the regions of the russian federation, to certain enterprises

that represent certain sectors of the country’s national economy, but they are not, well, let’s say, of some kind of demonstrative or ceremonial nature, these are

absolutely applied events. what is the duration, well, if we are talking about such horizons? well, well, of course, we'll leave in one hour, that's for sure, we know that the kremlin doesn’t like setting records,

they don’t like numbers at all. if you ask me whether most of it will be intended for listeners in foreign countries, no, no, it will certainly be, but for the president the main thing is our country, for the president the main thing is the continuation of the sovereignization of our country, this is precisely the focus on sovereignization in a variety of areas emphasis will be placed on the fact that now, during the last days of preparation , the president did not have much of an opportunity to hold public events. in which it would be possible to give an assessment

current events and statements of partners, well, let’s put it this way, as westerners used to say, in this regard, well, your assessments, assessments of other heads of russian departments, we heard about macron’s statements regarding the introduction of the possibility of introducing nato troops into the territory of ukraine, and also that regarding the new york times article 12 bass of the cia, there were also remarks, but should we count on the president’s assessment today? listen. surely the cia bass is not 12, but much more, this is not a secret and we all know it very well, we are opponents for the cia, this was during the time of the soviet union, it was during our soviet and early russian romanticism, and it is now, we are opponents for them, they are working against us, our intelligence services are participating in this fight, engaged in the necessary counter-actions, and as for

macron’s statement. your assessment, let ’s wait, a few more minutes and we’ll hear everything, and one more thing i

wanted to ask you, well, here’s the 2023 message, yes, it wasn’t like a milestone, a milestone, it was a message for the year, not for 6 years or more, but nevertheless there were absolutely historical decisions, yes, freezing, for example, the treaty on strategic offensive weapons, then that year there was a decision to create a fund for defenders of the fatherland, today, historically

, putin’s instructions will be of this magnitude, do you have? year and we see that during the liberation of avdiivka, we see thousands of smart air bombs that were used by thousands of drone strikes, that is, a completely new combat tactics , and today our army is truly the most modern and the most important thing is people, these are military personnel, that’s actually today

among the guests of the event there were many participants in the special military operation during the message. last year, the president spoke about the need to promote such young, enterprising officers who have proven themselves in battle, you know, many of these guests today have not just arrived from the front line, but have been studying at military academies for several months higher command schools, that is, these are brave , competent officers with combat experience, who, well , without exaggeration, we can say the future future command staff of ours. i must say intelligence officer , head of reconnaissance of the regiment, that is, absolutely, one might say , a staff position, but at the same time, major burdakov

personally commanded assault operations more than once, pay attention, two orders of courage at once, so you can tell yourself about one of the battles , where there are several strong points, then they looked, i hold it, hold it, yes, what can i tell you, they took it, the enemy retreated, well , it’s like nothing, well, there were three strong points in a row, and three in a row, and leaving on the shoulders of the enemy, and then we dropped in still holding on to the test teeth under artillery, yes, yes, we survived the artillery shelling, now everything is entrenched, nothing new, it’s so routine. talks about the exploits of the maidaks in one of the battles, and the commander was blown up by a mine, lost a leg and nevertheless returned to duty, why did they return? you have to do things, move on with your life, serve, basically that’s it, thank you very much, well, our

heroes are so taciturn, thank you very much, i also want to introduce you to the fellow lieutenant colonel fidot, the village was recently liberated victory, he... was liberated by the 255th motorized rifle regiment, one of the battalion commanders, tell me, how did you manage to break through this defense, because there, south of donetsk, this is the enemy’s defense line, which was filled with concrete for 10 years, how was it possible? well, thanks to modern and high-precision weapons, the wealth of combat experience that the military personnel received for a special military operation, and the desire of every soldier-officer to defeat this evil spirit, this led to success. thank you. thank you very much, that's it these are our heroes, they know that the whole country is behind them, in fact, how it will develop, we will find out very soon during the presidential address, alena, thank you very much, dmitry kulko, today in gostiny dvor next to our defenders, who are very modest, taciturn, thank you very much, now olga knyazeva is on the air , who visited gostiny dvor

the day before, told us how the final preparations for the hall were going, and today she is already communicating with those who were invited to this hall. olya, you have the floor. hello colleagues, yes, one of the most anticipated events in political life, the announcement of the message to the federal assembly is about to begin, we are working in the kulaars , communicating with guests, everyone, of course, has different expectations from the message, but everyone agrees on one thing, this message has two such important points, in -firstly, it is pre-election , secondly, it takes place in the year of the family and everyone , of course, is waiting for big social initiatives, no matter what vladimirich talks about, he will start with demography, he will start with the year of the family, he will start... with huge additional steps for fertility support, and it will work for our specialty, you know, the year is family, so i’m sure that a lot of attention will be paid to this, because you know, in every message i remember just questions about family, children, so everyone was looking for

where the president said about it seems to me that this year there will probably be more than between lines, but here we will have to deputies to work on this some more. well, we talked with regional leaders, for example, many are waiting for the extension of the school overhaul program, as well as expansion to kindergartens and technical schools, my colleagues have already said that the president travels a lot around the country and knows how it lives , so let’s see what he says, colleagues, thank you very much, it was olga knyazeva, who, like all of us, is waiting for the president’s message , among those invited today are participants in the military operation, as well as military correspondents, including my colleagues, military correspondents of channel one. irina kuksenkova, irina worked on the front line, side by side with the military in the hottest spots of the northern military district, was wounded in mariupol, is now actively leading fundraising in support of our fighters as part of the large-scale project everything for victory helps. for guys who are undergoing rehabilitation after injuries. ira, are there any

, you can’t get used to it, but i’m waiting for the message, definitely words of support towards the russian army, towards the families, so veterans, it’s very interesting what they will say, very, very exciting, and also, alexey, i know that you are back , despite being wounded, seriously, recovery, prosthetics, returned to your team, serving in the brigade, yes, i’m very glad that they gave me? such an opportunity to continue serving further, they retrain right in the hospital, guys from the main personnel department come and offer positions, they offer titles for which you can retrain, use your basic education, they introduce a position for you where you want, either it will be your brigade, or it will be some kind of military registration and enlistment office in any part of russia, thank you very much, this is alexey afanasyev, here another hero of russia, famous. success, veteran brigade commander , sasha, i greet you, you are straight from the front line , i know, tell me, it’s exciting, i see you received a star as a hero of russia,

you would have an order of courage, that’s how you feel about what attention is, and i also know that the president called you recently, that i have to say about my feelings, it’s a good feeling right away, well, you said that he knows the details, as if yes. the president of russia, he knows the situation in depth, what is happening at the front, uh, he actually studies it in great depth, in great detail, when he called, in reality, he felt that he was not only interested, this is really the work of the president of russia, who should know everything, how many people, where, on what street? in which house, but all the details, thank you very much,

our heroes are already being asked to take your seats, colleagues, i give you the floor , thank you very much, it was irina kuksenkova, our war correspondent, as expected, next to the military, now konstantin panyushkin is in contact with us again, who has already talked with the presidential press secretary dmitry piskov, now i see

deputy prime minister marat khusnulin next to you. is invested in improving the living conditions of people, that’s it, and of course, we will restore new territories, we certainly already have plans there for over the next 5 years, no matter what, i think that we will actively continue to develop this topic and the president has set tasks by the thirtieth year to bring new regions to a level not lower than the russian average in all indicators, here are four such large blocks in the area

that i i supervise, i think that they will... we have already resolved these issues, we continue to solve them further, the houses in which people live are destroyed, if we see that there is a house there, well, 20-30% of the residents who are there , we are already starting these houses to restore, no matter what , that is, we have a plan, we have several thousand people, builders there are gradually engaged in the restoration of even those cities and regions that are located in the zone, so to speak, close to the contact zone, and these are civilians people, yes, this is attentive. regions that today are regional leaders, well , for example, yesterday i met with us; we had a very good job as the head of one of the network, electric grid companies, one of the regions, which, at our request, supplied electricity to lisichansky, that is, people simply left

the region, did all the work, and then reached the contact line. 8-9 km, that is, achieved by artillery shells, but people did the work, understanding that 100,000 residents live there in the severnonenskaya agglomeration, so our people are very patriotic, people seem to be well-prepared for this work, well, as for the mortgage, returning to the topic of housing with which you started, mortgages in new regions are 2%, some developers, as we remember, have already entered, but what is happening now, how many new buildings are being built, how many have now been completed and

sold. housing is very strongly related to the cost of loans, do you think, we can count on that this year the central bank will meet all of us, and you too, will meet halfway, lower the central rate below ten, we really hope so, so that at least by the end of the year the rate will go below ten, because indeed , at such a rate, it is difficult

to conduct investment activities in the country, but we understand that we really need to limit it. inflation, we understand that this measure is forced, we really hope that this measure will it will end as quickly as possible, because the flywheel of housing construction in the country has gained momentum, it cannot be slowed down, we have been promoting housing construction for 4 years, we have reached record levels, then i also want to note one very important point, we have only completed housing more than half are individual construction, housing construction, so the cost of loans directly affects the purchasing power of people; it directly affects the opportunity. let's build something, let's hope, thank you very much, marash sekerzyanovi, for spending time with us, deputy prime minister marad khusnulin talked with us on the eve of the announcement of the message to the federal assembly, alena, i return the floor to you, thank you very much, konstantin panyushkin, to you and marat ukhusnulin, dmitry kulko, our military man, is in touch with us again korg, who risked his life on the front line to make a documentary about a man's work, today
