President Putin's annual call in program:
Goldman Sachs in Germany is getting the USA in trouble because of a magazine article about billion dollar purchases for musical instruments purchased by Russians.
A caller asks who President Putin would rather work with Clinton or Trump?
President Putin states the USA has been a good partner in international agreements. He stated he does not think particular international partners are his focus. He states his focus with the USA is to look at international issues with an understanding of what is the bottom line, not what is the opportunity to intervene. When the bottom line indicates there is a reason to intervene then the global community needs to act on the understanding of necessity.
What happened to Putin's program? We should have the ability to watch his program in it's entirety. The Russian people calling in and in the audience were very open and concerned for their own best interests.
One woman wanted to know how President Putin was given his former spouse recently was married again. He stated he was fine and thought his personal life was a distraction for the country and did not consider it important to discuss.
There was a local fish cannery that was featured on the program. They were very open about their security concerns, including crime and corruption that was occurring. The employees stated people don't come to live in the village because of personal security issues and corruption.
President Putin stated he didn't know what to say because the government seemed to be absent in their duties. He asked if the people of the village had notified government officials about their plight and they stated yes. President Putin stated the issue would not be overlooked and would be resolved.
When asked where the fish had come from for the cannery, they stated China. They stated Russia fish would be coming into season soon.
President Putin told the workers at the cannery the Duma was working to pass some legislation that would bring fresh or refrigerated fish to them. He stated the shipments from outside the country are not to be frozen. He stated the fish processing plant could not do their best work with frozen fish.
The people had a journalist well versed on the community's concerns and he articulated them well.
I find these programs interesting. There was a man in the audience concerned Russia did not have a vibrant recycling program for environmental responsibility. President Putin stated many aspects of a good recycling program to him and would hope the government better address these problems that still exist in Russia.
I found this program was more frank than amusing. It looked as though the Russia people were more assured to their ability to ask difficult questions and the complaints that accompanied them. I believe President Putin has made good in roads to the confidence Russian people have in asking their questions without retaliation or better said believed fear of retaliation.
I believe this program (what I saw of it) showed a great deal of resolve of the Russia people to confidently approach their President regardless of the nature of their complaints and questions. Whether anyone in the West wants to admit it or not these openness programs by President Putin and others within the Russian government, such as their foreign minister Sergey Lavrov, have improved the confidence the Russian people have in approaching their government. These openness programs have been both good for the Russia people and their government.

It is best to remain non-judgmental of any of these programs because the government is sincerely trying. They do want to know what the people have to say and they do want to make Russian quality of life better through this openness. I think Russia realizes the quality of life is what every Russian wants.
I am not going to discuss Russian nationalism and the problems in Ukraine. That is a different issue. The Russian people have a right to quality of life and these programs have been instrumental in providing a stronger platform for them.
A You Tube program without an interpreter does not do me any good. That is why I liked listening to C-Span. The entire program should be available on C-Span. The American people should know something about their supposedly MOST DEADLY ENEMY ON EARTH! Honestly.
