Russian President Vladimir Putin will have a Q&A show with over 1300 journalists at the International Trade Center in Moscow at 12.00pm today. Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the format this year will be the same as last year.
The president had a similar press conference in December 2012. It lasted 4 hours 33 minutes and was concluded with 81 questions answered. Putin has held 7 such conferences in the past. He held the first such conference in July 2001, just before the G8 summit.
