The organizers did not allow reporters who arrived at the Luzhniki sports complex to the Luzhniki sports complex to “mix” with delegates and guests. After passport and accrediting control, they were sent to the site fenced with metal barriers, where they were waiting for the accumulation of a “sufficient amount”, as the representative of the security, the number of people, in order to control the media to the premises of the complex, reports Interfax under his control.
The day before, on the first day of the congress, its organizers themselves admitted that in connection with organizational troubles, journalists had some problems when covering the congress. In particular, some of the media representatives could not get to the guest courtyard, since they were not yet printed by badge.
The representative of the United Russia press service, as well as the head of the Central Party Executive Committee, Andrei Vorobyev, apologized for this kind of "punctures".
However, these "punctures" did not prevent the work of journalists in the case of lighting a congress, which this time is unprecedentedly large -scale. In particular, on Saturday, about 11 thousand delegates and guests, as well as the journalists themselves, who are accredited on a congress at least 1,400, gathered in Luzhniki.
However, sandwiches, unlike the previous day of work in the Gostiny Dvor, is enough for all journalists this time, the agency notes.
At 12:55 the meeting itself began. The Luzhniki leader of United Russia arrived, government chairman Vladimir Putin and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
I must say that after the performance of the leaders of Russia, journalists forgot about all the organizers of the inconvenience, since the statements that they heard became simply a sensation - the new president of Russia was actually announced at the congress.
"The new president" of the Russian Federation has already paid attention to the problems of journalists
Independent media can be provided with financial support through the channels of non -governmental organizations, Vladimir Putin said the day before , recognizing that Russia has a “manual press”.
He noted that "we need both the Federation as a whole and in the regions, the official press, which openly expresses an official point of view, but not manual, which is masked for independent, but is actually official."
According to the prime minister, this problem needs to be solved, "providing direct support for a truly independent press." "We will build work in such a way as to support them, including, on the channels of direct financing through non -profit organizations," the future president of the Russian Federation said.
