Unknown details of the President’s decisions during a pandemic and unexpected nuances of Putin since 2000.
– Though sometimes can afford distractions, just disconnect and one that does not see or hear? Is this even possible?
Well, operators of the General staff for me it is just a medical fact, that there is no escape: They have to be within a few seconds. Always. This is the first. And secondly, still the head of state needs to be always connected. Always. Round the clock. It’s just a duty. In this sense, no. But after all these years of work I learned that when you have a few spare hours, I can do what I like: sports, or read, or listen to music. But to be constantly connected — it is simply my duty, — said Vladimir Putin.
Exactly 20 years ago the President of Russia was FAVan Vladimir Putin. Here is his office. Shooting in the Kremlin, what has not happened. Complete freedom of action in the main 1st corps. And the only thing that worried the presidential press service, to the crew of the film have not experienced and do not interfere with each other.
Small wait at the presidential reception. A few minutes to look around. Picture of the snow covered St. Basil Cathedral, on the big screen TV is constantly running the TV channel “Russia 24”. The Secretary to the President and then calls a special communication. And when they managed to enter the office of Putin, at this moment too, the phone rang.

Often hear the accusation that you very rarely or even almost never in public and not strictly punish the guilty. If this happens, it seems, is hidden from the eyes. Why are you such a personnel policy do you prefer?
– I believe that the higher position a person takes, the more carefully it needs to apply to people who obey him. The effectiveness of leadership is not in the external stiffness, and in the sequence of decisions.
– And if a person is really guilty, he understands that he screwed up?
I don’t like almost never have to reprimand someone in an ostentatious manner.
– And in the offices of what’s going on?
– we do Have hard conversations. But it was not — and I’m rather proud to say — the case that I offended someone, called, or — even worse — humiliated. This does not happen ever.

– You first, of course, began in the international arena tough enough to assert the importance of national interests. As a result, we are now seeing such absolutely blatant selfishness trump, we see that he has followers. Thank you for this present world politics?
– there was a period when Russia, sadly, could not assert its national interests. And what we started doing in the early 2000-ies, there is nothing unusual, nothing beyond and nothing meets the world. Just not all countries have this privilege — to fight for their interests. But between selfishness, as you put it, and the protection of national interests — a huge distance. Selfishness is focusing only on itself, and the protection of national interests including involves the search for mutually acceptable solutions with our partners.
