Russian president Putin talks to journalists at his year end news conference in Dec. 2015. He has sharp words for Turkey, saying Russia's advanced air defence system S-400 is now in place to prevent any attacks on Russian war planes over Syria. And says the costs of the bombing campaign in Syria comes out of the Defense Ministry's training budget. Putin calls Donald trump "a very bright and talented man." He tells Russians that the Russian economy was coming back after a sharp recession. He points to Russian life expectancy at 71 as one achievement of this period, as the government considers raising the retirement age to conserve resources.
Russian president Putin's year end news conference in Dec. 2015
12/17/2015
Sharp words for Turkey, references to his daughters at Russian universities working in 3 languages, and saying Russia's bombing campaign in Syria comes from the Defense Ministry training budget, part of the year end conference answering questions from journalists. Putin says the Russian economy's downturn is bottoming out. He continues to enjoy high popularity in Russia for defending Russian interests more than for management of the economy. Russians may see the oil price declines as beyond Putin's control, and see the effect of NATO at Russia's borders in the same way as Putin does. Putin points to the increase of life expectancy in Russia to 71 as one of the achievements of this period.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
