or rather, it is its duplicate, and the standard itself, in a single copy, is always kept in the president's office. the head of state spoke with. with a speech where she noted that now, in our time, we are answerable to our history, our ancestors, and spoke about new horizons for russia. sensitivity to challenges and threats to our flexibility, about the atmosphere in society, about our values, about what future awaits our country? this is the high note on which the first

square. we see that in the st. george hall, in the other two halls of the large kremlin palace, special screens are installed. it is thanks to them that guests in the large kremlin palace will be able to see all the smallest details of the ceremony. today we saw the kremlin soldiers in all their glory during the removal of the flag and sign. we see the kremlin cathedral square, it is here that the ceremony of presenting

the presidential regiment to the incoming supreme commander-in-chief will take place, who essentially crowns the inauguration of the head of state. well, here are the guests of the gala again: dmitry medvedev and mikhail mishustin. if in the first part of our ceremony the focus of attention was on the large kremlin palace, now it will shift to the cathedral square, and right now the head of state is on your screens. while we are still in the large kremlin palace, but very soon we will find ourselves on the cathedral square; today it is certainly one of the main centers of attraction. and the presidential regiment is already ready to introduce itself to the head of state who has just taken office. so, the white corridor of the large kremlin palace, live broadcast. in just

a few seconds, vladimir putin will leave the cathedral square of the moscow kremlin. the president will have to pass through the faceted chamber, this is also a historical place, it was built specifically for various ceremonies. the boyar duma met here, and zemstvo meetings were held here, from the era of ivan the terrible to temporary times. we are the head of the security service, we talked briefly about something, now everyone is

waiting for the second part of the ceremony, the red porch of the blackened chamber is on your screens, we see the blackened chamber from the outside, that’s what it’s called, you can see it from the facade, because of - specific processing of stone, the facade of this historical building was processed with cut stone, well, in general, back in in the middle of the 15th century, the faceted chamber became a kind of... audience hall necessary to improve the status of the russian capital. spacious, with an area of ​​about 500 km, it was the first large one built in the european style. building of the moscow kremlin, it has been fulfilling its historical function for more than five hundred years, well, now it is part of the complex of the large kremlin palace, which, as everyone knows, is the government residence of the president; meetings of foreign leaders, award ceremonies and other special events take place here significance. everything

comrade president of the russian federation. the presidential regiment was built in honor of the inauguration of the president of the russian federation. commander of the presidential regiment, colonel suraigin. hello comrades. congratulations on the 88th anniversary of

the formation of the regiment. regiment, smirnaya, solemn march, company, at one linear distance,

forward, op, on! bleep! chop, straight to the right, step! march! well, let's continue the story about what the presidential regiment is. this part is, without exaggeration, unique: elite elite. it was created 88 years ago, and its main task is to ensure security. top officials of the state, protection of objects of the moscow kremlin. its military personnel participate in military rituals, protocol events at the highest level, and stand guard at the eternal flame at the tomb of the unknown soldier. and since 2000, they have been involved in the presidential inauguration ceremony, or rather the inauguration of the presidency, and carry state attributes and symbols

of presidential power into the hall. some are part of the federal security service. intelligence services , the regiment reports directly to the president, and of course it is interesting to say that in the ranks of the kremlin members only those who have passed the most severe selection requirements, one might say, severe, special, height from 170 to 190 cm, education of at least eleven years of school, and with good academic performance, it is also necessary to have excellent health in military medical language, compliance with the presidential standard sounds like... fitness a is the highest. yes, it’s probably not worth saying that someone with a criminal record or registered with the police should serve in the kremlin. are not allowed; young people from most regions of our country undergo conscript service in the presidential regiment. well, here's another

interesting detail: the soldiers of the presidential the regiment, along with the regulations, is taught by heart and the towers of the moscow kremlin. anyone without hesitation should name all of them clockwise and back. this also applies to cavalry honor escorts. today we will see them too. meanwhile, the regiment has a military history. the names of the servicemen of this unit are inscribed in the chronicle of the great patriotic war. from the first days of the war , they defended the kremlin from german air raids and guarded especially important facilities in the capital. on the kremlin wall , a round-the-clock duty of combat crews was established, in the forty-second and forty-third years on the western and volkhov fronts , four groups of snipers were sent from the kremlin forces, who destroyed more than 1,200 fascists. during the great patriotic regiment , 97 people were lost. he participated in the victory parade under the red battle banner, which was awarded to him in 1944

. well, of course, like all military personnel , the soldiers of the presidential battalion live according to army regulations and undergo combat training. particular attention is paid to physical fitness. well, to playfully juggle with a simonov carbine weighing four more than a kilogram. it takes months of hard training, and of course, impeccable drill training. and the kremlin uniform is, first of all, cornflower-colored shoulder straps with two golden letters and a metal breastplate in the form of a cross with kremlin teeth along the edges and crossed hatchets in the middle. and of course, the kremlin men carry out all their tasks in any weather. look at what... endurance, what, not a single muscle flinched, and this despite the fact that it is downright winter temperatures in moscow today. vladimir putin

took office as president of the russian federation. indeed, the national leader, our national leader, came to the end of these elections with an unprecedented result, a historical result that modern history does not remember. more than 80% support, 87% support, that same

cavalry escort on your screens, and so, we saw how the presidential regiment was reviewed, but the ceremony does not end there, we are still located: on cathedral square in the very heart of moscow kremlin, it occupies the central part borovitsky hill is considered the oldest in the capital, right now you see vladimir putin ascending the steps of the annunciation cathedral, where the patriarch of moscow, ladies and gentlemen, the ceremony is completed, thank you. for your attention. so, now the patriarch will serve a thanksgiving service. we leave

the president in the temple. so, the main event, which was watched by the whole country and the whole world, took place: vladimir putin officially took office as president of russia. the country rallied around its president, the country collected. and are ready to move forward, without giving offense to our people, without yielding an inch of our native land to our victory, our victories, which will not only be on the battlefield. vladimir putin spoke about this in his speech after taking office and addressed literally every citizen of our country. but it’s probably also worth talking about what’s next. so, on your screens is the patriarch of moscow of all russia. incredible.

people, bless your holy lord. blessed be our god, always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. amen. christ is risen from dead, took death by death. having

given life to those who are in the tomb, christ is risen from the dead, having trampled down death by death, and has given life to those who are in the tomb, christ will rise from the dead, trampling down death in death.

sokory, lord, rejoice and rise again. for it is good to receive his mercy. god, do it. lord, say hello. and exaltations.

sit and it will be given to you, seek and it will be opened to you, everyone who asks will receive, the one who seeks will find, and the one who asks will be opened, or whoever is from you , his son will ask for his bread, a stone will give him, or if he asks for a fish, he will give him a snake;

losses. amen. christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death trampled upon and to the living tomb the life bestowed, true.

i will grant, o lord, a prosperous, peaceful reign, health and salvation, and victory and victory for your enemies, pay

haste to all of you, save it for many years to come. our country on the day when you are again called to take the highest office in our country, to become... the president of russia, we pray strongly for you, we know that these

words are not an empty phrase for you, that you yourself are praying, and with great mercy god has marked our time, when the head of the russian state, an orthodox man, is not embarrassed by his faith, when a huge number of russians see in the head of state not only a successful... politician, but a very kind, intelligent, warm-hearted person. this combination of kindness and strict integrity is the very weak point that sometimes prevents people in power from walking their life path with dignity, because there are many conflicts. the head of state must accept. sometimes fateful and formidable decisions, and if

such a decision is not made, the consequences can be extremely dangerous for the people and for states, but these decisions are almost always associated, including with victims, and such decisions, made for the good of the people, the good of the country, have never been condemned by either the church or the people. and we know how many saints, rogues of god, who headed our state, and who on the field, in the wound, courageously defended their people, but it is enough to remember the saint of the blessed prince alexander nevsky, close to both you and me, because we are both from st. petersburg, this man did not spare enemies, but became famous as a saint, because that it is one thing to defend a country from an enemy. but it’s another thing to destroy to the right or to the left,

venting your phobias or rushing towards some kind of career interests. the service of the president, it is also important because the head of state wants it or not, but they take an example from him, he really becomes an example for young people, for military personnel, for the intelligentsia, for workers, and in general for everyone who thinks seriously ... to yourself about your role in the life of the country, you set such a good example, god help you to continue to set that service that god himself has entrusted to you, with love for the fatherland, with boldness, because sometimes such boldness is required when you have to step over a lot, maybe sometimes through something that in ordinary life, it’s as if it’s impossible to step over it . but this is boldness, this is strength, it must

accompany the service of the head of state on whose actions the fate of the country depends, along with this torment, i especially wish you peace of mind today, this is certainly necessary, because if there is only one struggle, as they say, 24 hours a day , then not only the human body. may not be able to stand it, but against the background of such a state of mind , horny errors can arise, which is why it is so necessary, and for an orthodox person it is extremely necessary, when in power, to find a place for prayer, and you find, i know about this, to find a place for reflection , not only about your professional responsibilities. but about your life, personal life, i know that you find

a place for such, all this will undoubtedly help strengthen your spiritual and physical strength, but we, as a church, teaching you today this blessing on yours, let us continue to pray in our personal prayers, and what is the most important thing in our national church prayer? may the lord help you all the days of your life to lead the great fatherland, holy russia, with dignity. which is also going through a difficult period in its history today. may the blessing of god, the protection of the queen of heaven, remain with you all the days of your life, until the end of the age, as we say, well, i will boldly

say, god grant that the end of the age will mean the end of your stay in power. u you have everything for... to successfully perform this great service in your homeland for a long time, this staged image, i would like to entrust you with blessings on yours, your lives, thank you very much, everything. so, at the annunciation cathedral, the patriarch of moscow all russia gave his patriarchal and humane parting words to vladimir putin after his election to the presidency. and, probably, this was the most sacred, personal moment of today’s ceremony. we thank all our viewers, thank you for sharing

this time with us and being with us during the broadcast. ernest moskievichus and ekaterina berezovskaya worked for you. all the best, all the best. so, hello, dear friends, ladies and gentlemen, comrades, hello, your favorite program 60 minutes about yourself is live. we have special issues for russia and a historic day. putin took office as president of russia for the fifth time. the inauguration ceremony took place in the large kremlin palace, the president went there from his office in the first building of the kremlin. putin walked through the suite of halls through st. george’s, aleksandrovsky, vandreevsky, where he took

this is what determined the meaning and content of my work in previous years. i assure you that from now on the interests and safety of the people of russia will be above all for me. the consolidated will of millions of people. this is a colossal force, evidence of our common firm belief that we will determine the fate of russia only ourselves, for the sake of today and future generations. you, citizens of russia, have confirmed the correctness of the country's course. this is of great importance right now, when we faced serious challenges. i see deep understanding in this. common historical goals, determination to adamantly defend one’s choice, one’s values, the freedom

of russia’s national interests. i am confident that we will pass through this difficult, milestone period with dignity, become even stronger and will definitely implement long-term plans and large-scale projects aimed at achieving development goals, and this is , first of all... national conservation, i am confident that there will continue to be support for centuries-old family values ​​and traditions unite public and religious associations, political parties, all levels of government, our decisions on the development of the country and regions must be effective and fair, improve the well-being and quality of life of russian families. we have been and will remain open. to strengthening good relations with all countries that see russia as a reliable and honest partner. and this is truly the global majority. we

do not refuse dialogue with western states. the choice is theirs. do they intend to continue to try to contain it?
