Putin on TV: Documentaries and TV appearances by the Russian president

Re: The Unknown Vladimir Putin

MOSCOW: Russia´s President Vladimir Putin, who loves to cultivate a virile man-of-action image, was shown on Russian TV Saturday spear-fishing in a camouflage wetsuit, piloting a powerboat and catching some rays while on a Siberian holiday.

Putin´s affinity for the tough guy pose has been documented with shots of him bare-chested on horseback, diving in a submarine in Lake Baikal -- the world´s deepest -- and flipping a Judo opponent.

These latest images, provided by the Kremlin, captured his two-day stay in the remote Tuva area of southern Siberia.

Putin "fished in a waterfall near a mountain lake, indulged in underwater fishing, sunbathed, went rafting in mountain rivers, piloted... motor boats, went hiking and four-wheeler riding in the mountains," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

The images broadcast on public television, which insisted on "the physical fitness of the president", show Putin catching a pike in a camouflage wetsuit or sunning his bare torso with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, who is originally from the region.

His trip comes days after Putin said the US would have to cut 755 diplomatic staff in Russia and warned of a prolonged gridlock in its ties after the US Congress backed new sanctions against the Kremlin.

Putin´s previous made-for-TV exploits, however, have not been without controversy.

During a 2011 dive in the Black Sea he allegedly discovered two 15th century amphoras, but the find was mocked in independent media because the vessels were suspiciously without algae or other sea life.

Peskov admitted several months later that the scene had been staged.
 
Re: The Unknown Vladimir Putin

Vladimir Putin has once again demonstrated why he is the most perceptive, farsighted, and for a politician, the most honest world leader to come around in quite a while. If it had not been for his patient and wise statesmanship, the world may have already been embroiled in an all encompassing global configuration with the possibility of thermonuclear destruction.

Vladimir the Great Sums Up Pope Francis the Fake!
_https://antoniusaquinas.com/

His latest comments on the purported head of the Catholic Church may have been his most perceptive as of yet and should be heeded not only by Western secular leaders, but by the globe’s one billion or so Catholics, most of whom regard Jorge Bergoglio as pope.

The Russian President’s statement came on a visit to the Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Kronstadt.

Mr. Putin succinctly sums up what Pope Francis is not: “If you look around at what he (the Pope) says it’s clear that he is not a man of God. At least not the Christian God, not the God of the Bible.”

No truer words have as yet been said about this cretin by a world leader since his wretched pontifical reign began in 2013!

While Mr. Putin and those with “eyes to see and ears to hear” recognize that “Pope Francis” is not a Christian, the current occupant of St. Peter’s Chair is disqualified for that position on theological grounds. To be a legitimate pope, one must be “bishop of Rome,” and prior to becoming a bishop, one must be a priest. Jorge Bergoglio was not ordained (1969) in the traditional Apostolic ordination rite of the Church, nor was he consecrated (1992) as a true bishop in that rite. His predecessor, Benedict XVI, was, likewise, not consecrated in the traditional rite although he was ordained as a priest under the “old rite.”

Simply put: Jorge Bergoglio is just a layman masquerading as a pope as are all of the other priests and bishops which were given Holy Orders under the new rites which came into effect in the aftermath of the Second Vatican Anti-Council (1962-65).

Not only is Pope Francis a Christian fraud as Vladimir Putin and other perceptive commentators have observed, but in secular matters he is a neo-Marxist in economic thought, a One-World Government advocate, and an enthusiast of open borders and mass migration. In other words, an enemy of what is left of Western Civilization.

Mr. Putin accurately describes his “secular sins:”

To WHOM - does Pope Francis serve?

Re: The Unknown Vladimir Putin

In cases like this "report" above about what Putin has allegedly said about this or that thing or this or that person one has to be careful. Always check the source. Especially if it is a sensationalistic claim. Additionally ask yourself, would Putin ever make statements like this? In this case about the pope, it clearly would be out of caracter for Putin to say anything even remotely like that.

It turns out the above is fake :

Also the current pope might not be such a bad guy after all. See this session where some questions where asked about the pope for example:

Re: The Unknown Vladimir Putin

Putin talks a bit about the manipulation of history, the dark age, and specifically about russian history and what role the catholic church played in shaping history. As we know, Putin is interested in history and reads books about it whenever he has time:

Speaking of Lavrov, he also recently had a meeting with Russian students, where he answered their questions. It seems like Putin and co. are making sure that young people in Russia get proper education on various geopolitical and internal issues.

The Q&A was very interesting, and most of the questions were poignant and not "child-like". Lavrov even gave an extended answer about Israeli-Palestinian conflict and why Russia doesn't consider Hamas a terrorist organisation, and that they are aware of various sources that have an interest in continuation of the conflict. Also that Russia supports creation of Palestine. And many more relevant topics.

Here's the video of the Q&A. It has an English translation, and if you want to hear the translator more clearly, lower the volume of the left headphone.

Re: The Unknown Vladimir Putin

Putin in action. Calmly and directly calling out the Deputy Finance Minister for not paying attention and still not implementing the ruble tariff calculation (from the dollar). He really is a master in communicating:


https://youtu.be/Ee5IDRMznSE

Remember that time at university, when the professor utilised the Socratic Method and you hadn't done your homework? (asking impromtu questions by random selection of a student in the lecture theatre) This is kind of like that, except a little more embarrassing! On August 16th, Vladimir Putin asked Deputy Finance Minister Andrei Ivanov to comment on why the transition to a ruble tariff calculation (from the dollar) has not yet taken place, during a meeting on infrastructure development of the Kaliningrad region. Not only was Ivanov evidently snoozing, and could not recall what the question was about - but he had no backup information to support an answer.

Re: The Unknown Vladimir Putin

Putin answered a crucial question recently. And what an answer he gave!

Transcript is below the video:


https://youtu.be/BS4iQxy4pCg

Question: What qualities should a modern leader have in our age of rapid development of science, technology and IT?

Putin: "Decency. Everything else is build on that. But without it, if that basis does not exist, everything else is pointless. Naturally, this is not enough. Professional qualities and up-to-date knowledge are also essential. So, second is the ability to constantly learn, to learn from those that are better then you in some respects, and there are many people like that.!

Freudian slip: The Economist recognises a formidable force in Russia
http://www.fort-russ.com/2017/10/freudian-slip-economist-recognises.html

Oleg Voloshin, ex-head of the information department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, made the statement on air of Ukrainian TV channel 112.

The Ukrainian diplomat commented the current edition of American magazine "The Economist", with a collage of Russian President Vladimir Putin, titled "A Tsar is Born." The intention was evidently to paint a picture of authoritarianism - but in historical perspective, the opposite was achieved.

According to Voloshin, 10 years ago - the image depicted would be a balalaika (Russian musical instrument) and dancing bears.

"Let's be frank, 10 years ago in the same picture would be vodka, a bear, and a balalaika. Around the world, they see that Russia is not a ridiculous drunken country, it is a world power.

Yes, it's tough, yes, it's cynical, yes, one that pursues its own interests, breaking norms of international law and not taking into account human grief. But America very often also does. That is, Russia and Putin have achieved the result that today they are depicted as something threatening, and not as something that can be laughed at. Unfortunately, Ukraine is not in that position. If Ukraine were to be portrayed on a cover, then no publication would have depicted Poroshenko as a president who shows any kind of real authority." Voloshin said.

The statement is flawed in parts, but Voloshin certainly sensed the power dynamic between Russia and the Euroatlanticist sphere, unintended by The Economist.

Strange depiction - and notice the old style Troll Doll as being part of the ribbon bar; generally depicted as being in "the order of precedence" or "the order of wearing" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_ribbon Here is the history of Troll Dolls brought about by Thomas Dam - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_doll

What is The Economist saying/manipulating?

This depiction was followed up with the November 4th, 2017 edition of The Economist with the cover 'Social Media's Threat to Democracy' http://www.economist.com/printedition/covers/2017-11-02/ap-e-eu-la-me-na-uk

Interesting! looks like Putin developed the skill to adapt and play every role that is needed to archive something worthwhile and play with and outmaneuver "impossible" people and circumstances.

Here is an extended version of his latest fishing trip in Siberia:

A record-setting number of journalists - 1,640 - has been accredited to attend Russian President Vladimir Putin’s annual news conference due on December 14.

Record number of journalists accredited for Putin’s annual news conference
http://tass.com/politics/980001

The list of accredited journalists is available on the Kremlin’s website. Among them are mostly Russian regional journalists along with reporters from the United States, Germany, Japan, France, China, Poland and Estonia.

Among the accredited journalists is Russian socialite Ksenia Sobchak, who will stand in the country’s presidential election in 2018. She will represent the Dozhd television channel at the news conference. Sobchak attended Putin’s annual news conference twice - in 2014 and 2015.

The list has the name of radio presenter Tatiana Shadrina (Felgengauer) of the Ekho Moskvy station. In October she was attacked and stabbed in the neck by an Israeli citizen. Commenting on the attack, Putin said it had nothing to do with freedom of expression in Russia.

Putin’s annual news conferences

The popularity of Putin’s news conference has been steadily growing every year. More than 500 journalists were accredited for Putin’s first annual news conference in 2001, their number jumped to 700 in 2002 and 2003 and reached almost 750 people in 2004.

In 2007, the number of accredited journalists soared to 1,132, and has been fluctuating since: in 2008 - 1,364, in 2013 - 1,327, in 2014 - 1,259. In 2015, 1,390 journalists were accredited to Putin’s press conference, whereas in 2016 -1,350.

In 2017, the news conference will become the last for Putin during his current term in office. On December 6, Putin announced he would run for another presidential term in March 2018.

Since 2001, Putin has been annually holding news conferences, with a break when he served as prime minister between May 2008 and May 2012.

The Russian president traditionally convenes his annual news conference in December to sum up the outgoing year’s results. The conference has no time limits. The shortest of these news conferences lasted for 1 hour and 33 minutes back in 2001. The 2008 news conference set the record as being the longest one, lasting for 4 hours and 40 minutes.
