Vladimir Putin to conduct his annual call-in event in December
Russian President Vladimir Putin will participate in a direct line event this December, marking the continuation of an annual tradition that began in 2001. The announcement was made by Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary.
The direct line event and press conference have been held yearly, with the exceptions of 2004 and 2012, since their first occurrence in 2001. The initial direct line event took place in December of the same year, followed by a press conference. Since then, the format has remained consistent.
The direct line event provides an opportunity for citizens to give live feedback to the president and helps identify the most pressing problems. It will be combined with a major press conference this year, although the exact date for the direct line event is not yet known.
Preparations for the new direct line event have been instructed by President Putin to the government and his administration. Back in 2001, Alexander Yunashov, a journalist, was informed about the direct line event by Dmitry Peskov.
The direct line event and press conference have been annual events since their inception, with the exception of 2004 and 2012. These events have proven to be significant platforms for citizens to engage directly with the president and voice their concerns.
As the date for this year's direct line event approaches, anticipation grows among the Russian public, eager to participate in this unique opportunity to connect with their leader and contribute to the nation's development.
