The press secretary of the Head of State – with KP.RU political commentator Alexander Gamov…
– Dmitry Sergeevich, the president’s speech has already been called the most powerful of all the years of Vladimir Putin’s reign. And, in general, throughout the existence of the institution of the presidency in our country and this form of appeal to parliament and the people. Also, a national idea, a state plan for the next six years. And in general – for the next decade and even for the “post-Putin” period – such comments were made yesterday. Does the Kremlin agree with such assessments and epithets? Is this exactly how Vladimir Vladimirovich himself saw and tried to convey the message from him?
These questions were asked by a Komsomolskaya Pravda journalist on Friday, March 1, to the official representative of the Kremlin.
“As for the ratings of the Message… Of course, it is rated very, very high,” said the press secretary. – Of course, the Message is absolutely specific, absolutely significant, substantive. And of course, it mainly talks about how the country will develop in the next six years. And this is probably the most qualified forecast and plans for the development of the country that can be imagined from a current politician in the Russian Federation. In this case, since the president this year also acted as a presidential candidate, he participates in the campaign, as is known; then, of course, this can also be perceived as Putin’s election program. That is, this is the worldview he will walk with for the next six years. He knows what to do, he knows how to do it. He knows who to do with. And he knows who to trust when implementing these plans. Personally, I do not agree with the epithets that this is the most significant, the most powerful (Message – AG), etc. The President had many significant messages and, in fact, decisive for the future. This is not the first message of this type. By the way, all messages can be found on the website of the President of the Russian Federation. (kremlin.ru) For those who wish. That’s what I wanted to tell you.
“By the way, before I forget,” I continued, “thank you to the press service of the President of Russia, in particular Oleg Romankov, for their excellent work; they helped us a lot yesterday.”
“Thank you for appreciating the modest efforts of the representatives of the press service,” concluded the official representative of the Kremlin.
