The Kremlin's answer to negative press: go public. The result, a call-in TV extravaganza that asks callers/tweeters/emailers to ask Pres. Putin any question during a 4 hour period of a show live broadcast across all the Russyan landscape.
This is not the first time he has done this. It is supposed to quiet criticisms about his domestic policies and his ability to deal with common everyday problems that have their manifestation in poor medical care; crumbling infrastructure, high crime, lack of jobs, and environmental pollution. And political corruption. And foreign interventions. And............
He even took a question(through an interpreter) from an American. Ha. Carefully scripted to a point, the old KGB staffer stumbled and bumbled his way through the 4 hours. A Czar could have done better.
Oh, well. It's Russya. That's about as well as can be expected.
