it’s hard to get used to, there’s a passenger behind me, about 10 years ago i saw him being beaten through the window, and i didn’t intervene, i betrayed him, now i have to find him, there’s still hope, there’s always hope, soon! welcome to asia, where the heart of the continent beats. it's easy to get caught up in the facts when you only see part of the big picture.

entire locations are changed due to views, it’s easy to make a deepfake or change it. well, right now we are returning to gostiny dvor, where today the russian leader will address the federal assembly. ours is working on site correspondent, dmitry gorny, he is now in direct contact with us. dmitry, hello, dim, welcome, and what’s happening now in gostiny dvor, well, we’ll see with you. that by now the hall

has probably become a bit empty; almost everyone has already taken their seats. yes, natasha gorsh, good afternoon, indeed you can already see from me that gradually people began to move into the main hall, where the president’s address to the federal assembly will take place, there is already less than half an hour left before it, without exaggeration, this is one of the most anticipated events of this year, one of the most anticipated speeches of the president in... directly to the state duma, to the federation council, but not only, this has already become an appeal to the entire nation, because literally everyone is waiting for his words, his decisions, his proposals country, but actually talking to some representatives. russian

regions, it becomes clear that there is a special expectation, in any case, the governors are expressing that national projects that will continue to help the development of russian regions, since the previous ones and those currently in effect, but ending this year, had their positive effect on the development of the regions... were implemented and how the president controlled their implementation, led to the fact that our country became stronger, we became economically stronger, militarily stronger, our society is united. more,

it seems to me that today we have exactly the situation when the country has come together, united and we have become stronger. well, a little earlier the president he himself said that his orders would be designed for 6 years in advance, but again , having talked here with legislators, with many, many high-ranking figures, politicians and artists, it becomes clear that from him, from the president, when... the state they expect to hear a program for such development over a longer period; they consider it essentially the beginning of the designation of the presidential election campaign ; and moreover, it must be said that one of the central themes, which today, at least tentatively, can be discussed is that it can be voiced, of course, this is a special military operation, this is help to its

participants, this is help to the families of participants in a special military operation, help to the front , again help to those who returned from the front. as if we talked today with participants in special operations, who today in civilian life are engaged in raising patriots, are engaged in the patriotic education of young children, instilling patriotism in them, let's listen, we are waiting for questions from the co, that is, support for families, support for the participants in the co, more. i think of issues regarding the pathetic education of youth, that is, now young people should continue to be educated in the right spirit based on the exploits of our grandfathers, now in our exploits of our fathers and great-grandfathers. we need to tell it like it is , don’t deceive, our children understand, they are interested

, we have a good generation, we go in for sports and military training with our children, we do bopol, medicine, that is, everything we know, we pass on to our children , well...

located in gostiny dvor, our colleague i talked with a member of the russian presidential council for the development of civil society, marina akhmedova, she is doing a lot of work to identify problems in the zone of a special military operation, that’s what she told our colleague yuri bogdanov. marina, hello, tell me, what are your expectations from the president’s address to the federal assembly, especially in the area that you are in charge of, well, i expect that...

this is already such darn new for us, and there was a congress of a huge number of heads of municipalities, and from i hope this support continues families, and moreover, very close attention will be paid to the development of regions, and not just regions, right down to the very, very small remote areas. of course, i’m almost sure that the president will say this, but i want to hear this so that only later broadcast it. masses, and you are a member of the presidential council for the development of civil society, do you think some changes are needed here, there are some expectations from this message, honestly, you know, we work so closely with president on the topic of the northern military district on everything, i have such a great desire, i am in the working group on

the northern military district, well, in principle, yes, i have been working in the donbass since i was fourteen, and this is what i practically the topic by which i live, every time, when... “we are working in a working group, i really want to convey something to the president, but it turns out that now there is such unprecedented support for veterans and families that the mechanism has already been built, and nothing can be brought to him, because that everything is already being decided at some lower levels, are there any additional support measures needed, what do you think, fighting ones? to be honest, we are now trying to figure out such measures just to do something else for...”

well, less than half an hour remains until the president’s message to the federal assembly, and a little more than two weeks before the election of the head of state of our country. , how russia has changed over more than two decades, and what still needs to be done in the very near future. about this and not only in our new project, in the frame. sergey ivanov. now, in summary, the most important from this interview. according to sergei ivanov, the west’s attitude towards ukraine is changing. ivanov cited republican senator linzi graham as an example. he is known for his russophobic statements and has long supported the allocation of funding to the kiev authorities. now mgrm votes against granting it to ukraine. he said that it was time for ukraine

to pay, and since they are poor, they have a lot of natural resources, uranium, manganese, minerals, so they can pay with them. this suggests that already well, let’s just say, i don’t like the word elta, oh well, let the american think about... as for the multipolar world, which russia has been insisting on achieving for

many years, we, according to sergei lavrov , are in the middle, sergei ivanov, in the middle this way. nevertheless, important processes are taking place; in terms of purchasing power, gdp brix has already surpassed the gdp of the collective west. with the entry of new countries into brix, this gap has widened even further. there are also changes in world politics, but they are less noticeable. the west is trying to hold on. and monopoly to make key political decisions , this is not always possible, emphasizes sergei ivanov, and here the example of ukraine is indicative, a lot is already happening, but at least the fact that in terms of the purchasing power of gdp brix has already happened the gdp of the collective west, as we say, is already a little more, but with the entry of new countries.

efficiency and productivity and power, this, this already, this sounds open in

the west. the russia of the future, as sergei ivanov said, must be even stronger, first of all, not even militarily, because that we are already strong in this, economically, and also demography is topic number one. also watch the full version of the interview with sergei ivanov tonight on our channel. message from the president of the russian federation vladimir putin to the federal assembly. live broadcast today at 12:00 moscow time. the russian economy is growing faster than the world average, as vladimir putin notes, such dynamics were ensured primarily by our internal capabilities and good growth potential in all regions. in january, russia's gdp increased by more than 4, while

for the whole of last year, gdp increased by 3.6%. even representatives of the international monetary fund speak about russia’s confident economic growth under sanctions. and the ministry of economic development emphasizes that we have coped with external shocks, successfully overcome the pandemic and adapted to restrictions. among the key reasons for such stability , the head of the department, maxim reshetnikov, named the margin of safety accumulated over previous years. is one of the top five countries when looking at gdp volume at purchasing power parity. in january industrial production grew by more than 4.5% in annual terms, and specifically the manufacturing industries immediately added 7.5. according to first deputy prime minister andrei belousov, this work has been carried out throughout recent years. over 20 years, the industry was almost completely renewed, 85% of the capacity was built

anew, and volumes during this period increased by 2 and a half times. real wages grew by almost 8% last year. according to preliminary data, the average monthly accrued income for employees of organizations is about 74 thousand rubles. at the same time, inflation is already in this year should return to the target 4%. vladimir putin has repeatedly emphasized that unemployment in russia is at a historic low. in january, according to rosstaat, its level decreased again. the result is 2.9% without excluding the seasonal factor. yes, less than 15 minutes remain before the main political event of the year, already at noon vladimir putin will announce a message to the federal assembly, the head of state will address both houses of parliament for the nineteenth time, the president

will begin to determine the main directions of russia’s internal foreign policy. we are now we see how the guests have already gathered. andrei belousov , the governor of the moscow region, has just been seen in gostiny dvor, now on your screens, it is known that in total in gostiny dvor , more than a thousand people will personally listen to the messages live, as they say, and now messages have appeared on the agency news feed with reference to dmitry peskov, press secretary of the russian president, some of them , we note, in putin’s message will be important for the history of the country. peskov notes the decision and projects, and there is also a statement on macron, but for now, this is probably not the case, we’ll tell you in a little more detail how the ceremony itself will be organized and where it can be watched, so, the announcement of the message will be shown on federal channels, first of all, of course, we are talking about russia 24, russia 1, on channel one and

izvestia tv channel, also the address of the head states to parliament can be seen on the portal look heard on the radio beacon. yes, we remind you that now you are seeing a live broadcast from gostiny dvor, where guests have already gathered who will listen to the president’s messages, the last ones are going on preparations, more messages citing presidential press secretary dmitry peskov, who said that the message can in many ways be considered putin’s election program, indeed in many ways it will be a program. which candidate putin is running for the presidential election, and also, from piskov’s statements , what’s interesting is that putin’s message will contain some words addressed to the west, but the president, of course, will focus on issues of sovereignty of the russian federation, as our colleagues who work have already mentioned in gostiny dvor, our sovereignty

state, its achievements in various fields, in various fields, one of...

will perform a fanfare, which we are about to see soon, and as a result we will hear the anthem of russia, by the way, which, of course, all members of the government listen to the message

, also representatives of law enforcement agencies, representatives of the ministry of emergency situations, also, of course, these are veterans of a special military operation, who receive special attention and honor, as the president said earlier, everyone will be waiting today for vladimir putin to announce new support measures and how work is in progress for...

became especially relevant for western society in connection with vladimir putin’s recent interview with tucker carlson, who finally the west heard that they started the war, and we used force to stop it, and also then vladimir putin said, and this is still relevant today and will always be relevant that none of the ordinary russians felt sorry for those who lost their yachts and palaces abroad, recently we celebrated, well, how we celebrated, in quotes, of course, the thirteenth package of sanctions, which led. against our country and against certain structures, yes, we know that record sanctions have been imposed against our country, but the expectation, when we talk about the expectations of our western partners, in

quotes, that this somehow constrains our economy, does not give our development, of course, did not materialize , that’s why we say that this is just another package, to which, in fact, we do not pay any particular attention, we develop our country further in a variety of directions, and of course, i noted very important, interesting things, what really what it says ... attention, ladies and gentlemen, we ask you to take your seats, we hear that the floor loudspeaker is probably already announcing one of the last preparations for everyone to take their

places in the audience, in the audience hall, in the living room courtyard, a live broadcast will begin very soon, including on our channel, of the president’s address to the federal assembly, it is known that vladimir putin always works personally on the text of the message to the federal assembly, of course, he is provided with some materials, some documents on how our country is developing, what key issues there are, but it is with the text of the message that the president works personally at the last moment, makes some adjustments, the chairman of the state duma makes some important calls, now we see how he communicates on the sidelines with by someone. in fact, in the last minutes it must be, one can guess what exactly the people, the guests, who have now gathered in the hall of the gostiny dvor, are talking about and well

, almost five minutes of readiness, the hall is full, all the guests are occupied or are occupying now we are in our places, we see a scene that is made in the form of such, well, perhaps, an improvised russian flag that is developing, i would like to note that on the left we see a light map. gennady zyuganov, in general, is a key politician, a key representative of the presidential administration, the lower house of parliament, the council of the federation council, and, of course, the government.

well, what do we know about the president’s message to the federal assembly? vladimir putin’s theses in the message were carefully thought out, said dmitry peskov, and in this sense, of course, not populism, in particular, here ’s a quote, the easiest thing, probably, especially speaking against the backdrop of elections, is to sprinkle in various empty promises, but putin has never done this during his... political career and will not do so, so of course we are waiting for these specific statements, specific messages regarding how our state will develop. leaders of political parties are now on your screens: sergei mironov, leonid slutsky, gennady zyuganov. and of course, he talked a lot, there was talk about how much there will be a message, on average the president's message lasts about an hour, at the moment this is how long

television channels put it on air, of course. at this time will be expanded, if the messages are longer, the more, the topics are pressing, important, those that will become decisive for the coming years, so we see the attention of representatives of the clergy in the hall, representatives of all different spheres of our life, in addition to legislative ones, people who engaged in legislative activities, these are, of course , participants in a special military operation, heroes russia, representatives of the ministry of emergency situations, and also many, many people who are on your screens today, we see how common it is.

the russian leader pays attention to the topic of medications that these children need, of course , now all key channels, our colleagues, are also involved in informing what is happening in gostiny dvor, also on the screens that cover this event, including a huge number of our employees russia 24 tv channel today is constantly working in order not to miss a single detail, now here is one, one of those colleagues who is in touch with the living room, anastasia efimova, she has the opportunity to come to us.

time difference, and it is significant , this is for the federal assembly, despite the live broadcast of the president’s address , it is still, perhaps, the most distant russian region, nevertheless, the broadcast will be organized there too, on large screens around the city, of course, there will be broadcasts online, of course, our tv channel, as always happens, will show it live. what the president will say today is necessary understand that subsequently, after the message is sounded, it will be analyzed for quite a long time and in general it will sound like such an echo, an echo that will be heard in decisions made, including by the government, all members of the government are here in place, you saw it with your own eyes, just now we see the prime minister, mikhail mishustin, who also...
