The most vivid statements of Putin from a straight line. VIDEO

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, June 15, held the straight line on 15. Traditionally, it takes place in April, but this year has shifted to 2 of the month. The head of state received about 1,87 million citizens. "Lenta.ru report»I followed the performance of the Russian leader and selected the most vivid quotes.

About the habit of Russia to live under sanctions

“When our partners in the world felt a serious rival in the face of Russia, some restrictions were introduced under various pretexts. It has been throughout our history, I don’t even talk about the Soviet era, but even before that it was. There is nothing surprising. So there would be no Crimea, there would be no other problems, they would come up with something else to contain Russia. So this policy has always been served — the containment of Russia. ”

“Now we know that in the US Senate, a bill has arisen again about tightening these sanctions, by the way, why? After all, nothing extraordinary happens. In this connection, they started talking about these sanctions from scratch? This, of course, is evidence of the ongoing domestic political struggle in the States. Nevertheless, it happens, I think, from scratch. ”

About private life

“My children, despite all the rumors, live here - in Russia, in Moscow, and I have grandchildren, they also live a normal life. My daughters are engaged in science, education, they don’t go into politics anywhere, they live a normal life. My second grandson was recently born.

You see, what is the matter: I do not want them to grow up like some princes of blood, I want them to grow up with normal people. (...) As soon as I just say age, name, they will be immediately identified, they will not be left alone. It will damage the child’s development. ”

About the Ukrainian president and “unwashed Russia”

“Peter Alekseevich [Poroshenko] considered it possible to read this quatrain by Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov: “Farewell, unwashed Russia, / Country of slaves, country of masters, / And you, blue uniforms, / And you, a people devoted to them.” This shows that he knows Russian classics and is interested in Russian literature, for which I praise him. But the poem does not end this way, there is a second part. It goes like this: “Perhaps behind the wall of the Caucasus / I will hide from your pashas, ​​/ From their all-seeing eyes, / From their all-hearing ears.” If the President of Ukraine says that he is leaving somewhere, then Lermontov was talking about all of Russia, including those regions that are called Ukraine. So there’s nothing to turn up our noses here.”

About father's illness

“I, as a rule, do not spread about my personal affairs and my personal life, but now, looking at you (the Russian president was asked for help by the girl Dasha from the Murmansk region, who was diagnosed with a fourth degree of cancer - approx. "Tapes.ru"), I can say - the same thing happened to my dad. He was treated for back pain, massaged, heated, and so on. Mom told me that my father screams at night in pain. And only after that I transferred him to another hospital.

But even at this stage they found the means, it was many years ago, quite effective, and he died not because of the disease that he was diagnosed. ”

On the strategic importance of the Arctic

“Let's not forget about the purely military side of things. In terms of ensuring the country's defense is an extremely important region. I do not want to force anything here, but experts know that American nuclear submarines are on duty in the north of Norway, the flight time of the missiles is 15 minutes to Moscow. We must understand what is happening there, see what is happening there. ”

About successor

“Well, firstly, I still work, and secondly, I want to say that the voter, the Russian people, must determine it. Of course, I myself once determined and do not see anything wrong to say that my preferences are so and so formulated. But in the end we must not forget that a voter, a Russian citizen, only he can determine who will lead the region, a specific district, city, region or country. ”
