Thank you for being with us. Whatever one may say, the next four years will be very interesting - both in the US and around the world.
January 20, 2017 7:25:15 pm
Well, the main event of the day has already happened, and we say goodbye to you. Whatever the Trump presidency is, it won't be boring, and that's a good thing.

Either the broadcast is arranged in such a way, or it is hard for people to hear, but the audience is very reluctant to applaud. Trump seems to pause for applause longer than they actually last.

At this point, the operator showed Barack Obama

As Trump says, the wealth of the middle class has been squandered abroad in favor of other countries.
January 20, 2017 7:10:31 pm
It seems that even in the inaugural speech, Trump is fighting with rivals - and paints the horrors of what has happened to America in recent years. "Now it's all in the past."
January 20, 2017 07:09:54 PM
“We were protecting other countries without protecting ourselves. We spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas when America was suffering."
January 20, 2017 07:08:33 PM
“Mothers and children are in poverty. Closed factories are like tombstones all over the country,” says Trump, recalling rampant crime and drug addiction. And it will all stop right here and right now.
January 20, 2017 07:08:15 PM
In the background, umbrellas are still being carried. Donald Trump doesn't care.
January 20, 2017 7:07:30 pm
The forgotten people of America will no longer be forgotten! Trump continues: "The nation is to serve the people."
January 20, 2017 07:06:31 PM
"It doesn't matter which party controls the government, it's important that the people control the government."
January 20, 2017 07:06:08 PM
The establishment, says Trump, defended itself, but not the people. But now everything will change, the president promises. This USA is your country, he says.
January 20, 2017 07:05:49 PM
I understand a little about inaugural speeches, but this particular speech seems very populist.
January 20, 2017 7:04:50 pm
We, says Trump, are not only transferring power peacefully, but also transferring power from Washington to ordinary people. Yeah, Trump has several billionaires in government, ordinary people.
January 20, 2017 07:04:19 PM
Umbrellas were carried in the background - it began to rain near the Capitol.
January 20, 2017 07:03:54 PM

Cannon fire! Now there will be a speech.
January 20, 2017 07:02:04 PM
Everything happened very quickly. Trump quickly shook hands with Obama again and greeted everyone with a raised hand. The president's speech is coming soon.
January 20, 2017 07:01:25 PM
Who would have thought!
January 20, 2017 07:01:18 PM
Trump is the President of the USA!
January 20, 2017 7:00:55 pm
Oath taken!
January 20, 2017 19:00:29
Judge John Roberts asks Trump to take the oath.
January 20, 2017 19:00:01
Go!
January 20, 2017 6:59:50 pm
Finished it. What is about to happen is what we are all here for.
January 20, 2017 6:57:58 PM
Sings the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which is about the same age as the United States (okay, only 170+). One member of the choir left before the performance in protest and wrote on Facebook that she "would not sing in front of Hitler."
January 20, 2017 6:56:50 pm
Between Pence and Trump's oath, we'll listen to one more song. Mormon Tabernacle Chorus.
January 20, 2017 6:55:50 pm
Joe Biden is no longer Vice President.
January 20, 2017 6:55:37 pm
Pence took the oath.
January 20, 2017 6:55:16 PM
Gorbachev: It was this judge of the Supreme Court who asked 1 (one) question during the entire time he was in court. Now is a rare moment when he says something in public.
January 20, 2017 6:54:21 pm

January 20, 2017 6:54:10 pm
Judge Clarence Thomas reads out what Pence has to repeat. First Pence, then Trump.
January 20, 2017 6:53:15 PM
A very emotional speech by Schumer about the fact that the best days of America are yet to come.
January 20, 2017 6:50:30 pm
Schumer praises the peaceful transfer of power—that, the Democrat says, is what makes America America.
January 20, 2017 6:49:07 pm
Senate Democratic Minority Leader Charles Schumer is now speaking. "I'm standing here, confident in the future of our country, because of only one thing - because of you Americans!"
January 20, 2017 6:45:44 pm
Okay, but they sing well.
January 20, 2017 6:44:11 pm
Something today is suspiciously a lot of Missouri.
January 20, 2017 6:43:40 pm
So, the prayers are over, now the choir of the University of Missouri sings.
January 20, 2017 6:43:09 PM
God
January 20, 2017 6:41:39 PM
There are protests in Washington as well.
January 20, 2017 6:40:51 pm
Donald Trump's son during prayers.
January 20, 2017 6:39:18 PM
A small detail: Obama closed the claza during prayer, and Trump only covered it.
January 20, 2017 6:38:27 PM
The host of the ceremony called the clergy, now they are reading excerpts from the Bible.
January 20, 2017 6:36:42 pm
The same Shurik Gorbachev recalls: the legend about Reagan is that he moved his inauguration to the west side of the Capitol in order to look towards California.
January 20, 2017 6:36:04 PM
Blunt recalls Reagan, who established the tradition of holding inaugurations at this particular location, on the west wing of the Capitol. Trump, and many Republicans, loves Reagan very much.
January 20, 2017 6:34:01 pm
He then shook hands with everyone nearby and greeted the rest of those present with a handshake.
January 20, 2017 6:33:58 PM
Host of the ceremony Roy Blunt begins the inauguration!
January 20, 2017 6:33:22 pm
Trump first approached Melania and kissed her. But it's like in some kind of advertising - a kiss of air.
January 20, 2017 6:32:53 PM
Trump on the podium at the Capitol! Everything will start very soon!
January 20, 2017 6:31:09 PM
And finally, Donald Trump!
January 20, 2017 6:30:52 pm
Mike Pence left the Capitol and immediately went to Hillary Clinton. They exchanged secular smiles and said something to each other. Mike Pence stood next to Melania Trump.
January 20, 2017 6:29:02 PM
You can understand him - after all, it's not every day that you become president, especially in such difficult circumstances and in a situation where the country is actually divided into two camps.
January 20, 2017 6:28:36 PM
Everyone is escorted, and Trump is alone. While he is in the inner corridors of the Capitol. He has a gloomy, even some doomed expression on his face.
January 20, 2017 6:28:20 pm
Trump walks through the corridors of the Capitol in deathly silence, extremely serious.
January 20, 2017 6:27:39 PM
The crowd is chanting "Trump! Trump! But not loud.
January 20, 2017 6:26:37 PM
Here is a very stylish Melania.
January 20, 2017 6:26:20 PM
Barack Obama and Joe Biden exit. Obama shakes hands with many, smiles, says some words. Still, you can evaluate him in different ways, but that he is one of the most sociable US presidents, that's for sure.
January 20, 2017 6:24:14 pm
Democrats point out that there were many more people in 2008, but the photo on the right is still unknown when it was taken. Well, in general, no one promised that there would be some kind of super sold out.
January 20, 2017 6:24:00 pm
Barack Obama and Joe Biden are walking along the corridors of the Capitol, talking about something, but it is impossible to make out.
January 20, 2017 6:23:02 PM
Eee Melania Trump is out! She has a very pretty blue coat and long gloves, but she keeps herself pretty stiff.
January 20, 2017 6:22:09 PM
In Washington before the inauguration, it was restless.
January 20, 2017 6:19:52 PM
Michelle Obama (apparently, according to protocol) stood very close to Bill Clinton and Hillary. With Hillary, they greeted very warmly, but with Bill, on the contrary, it seemed cold.
January 20, 2017 6:19:01 PM
Michelle Obama exits the Capitol, smiling and waving. She stopped in front of Hillary Clinton, they joked about something, Hillary laughed and generally cheered up.
January 20, 2017 6:17:36 PM
Michelle Obama walks down the hallway with Jill Biden and asks, are you okay? Then they both laugh. The outgoing administration is in a good mood today.
January 20, 2017 6:15:33 pm
It's like this right there right now
January 20, 2017 6:15:25 pm
The schedule suggests that there are 15 minutes left until the most interesting, but all the main characters are already here.
January 20, 2017 6:12:45 pm
They showed the audience from the Capitol, right in front of the podium where Trump will speak, quite densely, and there is noticeably free space behind.
January 20, 2017 6:12:44 pm
The crowd gathered at the Capitol chant "USA, USA" - and if it weren't for the orchestra, it would be very similar to the collective watching football.
January 20, 2017 6:08:40 pm
At the exit of the Trump children, the cameraman grabbed Hillary Clinton. She smiles and applauds.
January 20, 2017 6:08:18 PM
The crowd is not very confident, but they are chanting USA! Meanwhile, all the many children of Trump are leaving the Capitol.
January 20, 2017 6:05:30 pm
There is such a crowd in the corridors of the Capitol, and in general there is no feeling of a holiday, almost everyone, especially politicians, is very tense.
January 20, 2017 6:05:05 pm
Obama is very loose. And Trump doesn't seem to be nervous.
January 20, 2017 6:04:35 PM
Trump and Obama made it to the Capitol. Soon they will go to the stands.
January 20, 2017 6:01:35 pm
And here is the exit of the four Bushes. They are applauded for a long time - after all, the last Republican president to date.
January 20, 2017 6:00:17 pm
Surprising, of course, endurance.
January 20, 2017 05:59:27 PM
And here comes the Clintons. They are applauded, Hillary smiles as if this grueling campaign and humiliating loss in the final never happened.
January 20, 2017 05:58:27 PM
Carter is introduced at the Capitol. Today could have been a record inauguration - five US presidents could visit it. Unfortunately, George W. Bush fell ill and could not come, but in general it is, of course, very cool. Five presidents!
January 20, 2017 5:53:58 PM
This is how Trump and Obama left the White House.
January 20, 2017 05:51:03 PM
Donald Trump went to the inauguration!
January 20, 2017 5:50:19 PM
In Washington today, to put it mildly, it is not hot - 6 degrees. Jimmy Carter came with his wife Rosalyn. Carter is 92 years old. And George W. Bush fell ill.
January 20, 2017 05:49:36 PM
Here comes Hillary Clinton! All in white.
January 20, 2017 5:48:08 PM
Pasha already wrote that protests are expected during Trump's passage. This is roughly what they will look like.
January 20, 2017 05:45:56 PM
Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, with his son, Ivanka Trump to his left.
January 20, 2017 5:45:00 pm
Michelle and Melania
January 20, 2017 05:42:27 PM
I would like to support the Quartz tweet! And at the same time to remind you that the recipe is suitable for Putin's Russia, and for, I don't know, European Union Latvia.
January 20, 2017 5:41:50 pm
No wonder - 900 thousand people are expected! That's about half the size of Obama's record-breaking inauguration in 2008.
January 20, 2017 05:40:57 PM
The entire Capitol is full of people - literally there is nowhere for an apple to fall. And that's 50 minutes before Trump's vow.
January 20, 2017 5:38:50 PM
Oh Bernie Sanders! It is curious that he appeared in the picture exactly at the moment when our editor of the department of special correspondents, Shurik Gorbachev, asked me where to watch the ceremony. Gorbachev campaigned all the primaries for Sanders.
January 20, 2017 05:37:24 PM
Where to see
Yes, where not to look. We ourselves are still watching on C-SPAN and Rossiya-24 , here is RT , here is Fox News . Our online broadcast is Sky News. Everything is about the same there, the angles are different.
January 20, 2017 05:36:55 PM
So far, the feeling from the live broadcast is like from a series. And not only as from "House of Cards", but also, say, "The Good Wife". That is, it seems to be real people, but it is so far from us that it seems as if it is fiction.
(it turned out somehow confused, but I’ll leave it. So to speak, for history)
January 20, 2017 05:34:32 PM
Hello, my name is Sasha Polivanov, I will help Pasha to manage this online. He understands American politics much better than I do, so the word "help" is more than appropriate here. I will pay more attention to how it all works in terms of the plot, the show. Well, stories, of course.
January 20, 2017 5:31:59 PM
And a little more about the format - a couple of hours after the inauguration, the parade from the Capitol to the White House will begin. We will not make it online, but protests can be expected there - several protest rallies have been agreed along the parade route, and the Bikers for Trump organization wants to interfere with the protesters.
January 20, 2017 05:17:28 PM
A little about the format of the inauguration. From eight in the morning, spectators gather at the Capitol, including 1,600 specially invited dignitaries: politicians, celebrities, entrepreneurs, former presidents.
Trump and his wife Melania went to church in the morning, and then went to the White House to have tea with Barack and Michelle Obama. At approximately 18:45 Moscow time, Trump will arrive at the Capitol, and at 19:30 the inauguration itself will begin.
While we're all waiting for this, military bands are playing outside the Capitol.
January 20, 2017 4:52:32 PM
But Barack and Michelle meet Donald and Melania
January 20, 2017 4:40:41 pm
Barack Obama leaves the White House
