DESCRIPTION:
The date for this event is generally confirmed in the third quarter of each year. Due to the war with Ukraine, as of late November 2022, it appears to be unscheduled and set to be missed this year.
The Big Press Conference is one of the rare occasions Russian President Putin takes questions from the press. The event typically lasts several hours, and leaders, politicians, diplomats, and journalists watch it in Russia and worldwide.
Russia is the largest country in the world by land mass, nearly twice as big as the United States (including Alaska) and Canada, which comes in at #2, even after the break-up of the Soviet Union. From an empire ruled by tsars to an authoritarian dictatorship under communism, and finally, to a fledgling democracy hampered by corruption and crumbling infrastructure, Russia ended the 20th century with political whiplash, a vacancy in power, and an uncertain future.
It was in this atmosphere, at the turn of the 21st century (December 31, 1999), that a shrewd, calculating former KGB intelligence officer and one of three First Deputy Prime Ministers would seize the reigns of power through the appointment of the former President, Yeltsin, and elections. Vladimir Putin would hold power through changing the laws, strategy, calculated intelligence, and astute politicking, on par with the canny of a world-class chess player.
Putin sees himself as the Russian people's father, protector, leader, and their representative. The annual Big Press Conference is his version of a town hall—meet the press—throne room, where he solves local issues, positions the nation on the world stage, and engages with the people through the press once a year. The event is carefully orchestrated to promote his image, vision, and policies and to project the strength of the Russian nation to both allies and adversaries. Each year the archive is available on the Kremlin site in English and Russian.
