View Full Version : Press conference jo President Putin
Today 12 noon (12 p.m., GMT +3) there will be a press-conference, which may be rather interesting. The conference was postponed for 1 day as President Putin had participated in funeral of our Ambassador killed in Turkey. It may last for about 3 hours where he'll answer the questions of journalists of Mass Media from many countries. It is a chance to see our vision of the situation in our country and abroad.
Hope it will be shown on Russia Today channel.

Yes! This press-conference is on air on this channel.
I would like to draw your attention to rather peculiar fact - President Putin speaks "off-hand" on all the questions with no words that he is not informed. It means that he is keeping the whole situation in his head. I think he is very inconvenient person to argue with.
P.S.
If you fail to see it because of time zone difference (it is night or early morning in the USA) and are interested in the context of this PC, I'll try to find full english version for you and will put it on this board.

It could also mean that his task of answering press questions is made a lot easier, due to the fact that the press in Russia is so controlled ? I've already posted, elsewhere, on the lack of freedoms your country's press has to disagree with Putin's propaganda.
I will certainly agree with one of your sentences ... you say ... 'I think he is very inconvenient person to argue with'. Indeed ! I'm sure that many have found that out to their cost, Balu.
Pleas clarify for us, by the way ... as is true in America, doesn't Russia have a 'two terms Presidency' system ? So please clarify ... including right now in the total ... how many such terms has Putin served ?

As you are not able to find it yourself, read below. Do pay attention to the underlined, which is the ONLY restriction. Russian Federation is not the USA with their constitutional restrictions.
Article 81
1. The President of the Russian Federation shall be elected for six years by citizens of the Russian Federation on the basis of universal, equal, direct suffrage by secret ballot.
2. Any citizen of the Russian Federation not younger than 35 years of age and with a permanent residence record in the Russian Federation of not less than 10 years may be elected President of the Russian Federation.
3. One and the same person may not be elected President of the Russian Federation for more than two terms running.
4. The rules of electing the President of the Russian Federation shall determined by the federal law.

It means, that Putin HAS THE RIGHT to run for the next presidential election in 2018 in accordance with the our Constitution.

Congratulations! "We did it!"(c) The Wall Street Journal, NBC etc. have become pro-Kremlin issues!:clap::clap::clap:
A little half-hour warm-up. A press conference of Mr. Putin. Valdai Club. October 2016.
(The press-conference in topic lasted 3h. 55min.)

If you succeeded in the previous warm-up above, you may see below Putin's annual Q&A marathon (FULL VIDEO) 4 hours of off-hand speech without electronic prompter. All the data and figures Putin leads from his memory. This performance (not a show) is worth to be seen. No doubt that everybody will be proud of such a president of own country. http://s19.rimg.info/aee19e2775457d135efdf745e7d94e15.gif (http://smayliki.ru/smilie-1224821991.html)

Your reply's point is far from clear. It's not exactly a detailed refutation of charges made about lack of press freedoms in Russia, now, is it ?
I've also posted about Russia's ranking in the world as a 'democratic' country ... if memory serves, you're ranked 132nd, and are firmly in the bottom, or 'Authoritarian', category. That's to say, you're not judged to be at all a 'shining example' of democracy ....
Do you have no comment to offer on that ? Do you accept the judgment ? Do you perhaps not care if your country is democratically run ?
Are dictatorships 'OK' .. ?
By the way, having a good memory and apply it at press conferences does not of itself make a good leader ! I recall reading that Hitler had an excellent memory, too ....
