MOSCOW, April 25 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Vladimir Putin set a new record on Thursday for the duration of his annual televised question and answer session, replying to 85 questions in four hours and 47 minutes.
This was Putin’s 12th Q&A session, but the first since being re-elected president in 2012.
Putin’s very first Q&A session, held on December 24, 2001, lasted two and a half hours, one hour longer than the hour and a half planned. Each of the subsequent sessions has been longer still.
