Russians have submitted some three million questions for President Vladimir Putin's traditional marathon phone-in this Thursday. Now in its 14th year, the conference will be broadcast live by three major state TV channels: Rossia 1, Rossia 24 and Channel One. The channels have allocated at least three hours of air time for the conference, which lasted a little less than four hours last year. The call-in will also broadcast live on radio by Mayak, Vesti FM and Radio Russia.
As in previous years, invited studio guests and Russians throughout the country will be able to ask Putin questions in person or by telephone, email, instant messenger or video message. Questions were collected last week, with those considered to be 'the most interesting and relevant' chosen for live broadcast.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
