So, literally half an hour remains until the main political event in the life of our country. A special inauguration ceremony was developed in 1996, when president Boris Yeltsin began working at the highest government post for the second time. Since then , the ritual has undergone slight changes, but its main points are still preserved. As the press secretary promised. Traditional script implies that the president goes to the ceremony from his office in the first building of the kremlin, to the large kremlin palace, where he must walk through the halls through st. George, alexander, and st. Andrews hall, where he will take the oath. Our channel will show the ceremony. Vladimir putin will officially take office as president of russia after the elections that took place in march this year. He received record support of more than 87 , and this was with a historic maximum of voter turnout. Over 76 Million People voted for him. As the head stated states in their address to citizens on the results. Such a result will require even greater dedication. The head of state is expected to arrive at the large kremlin palace at 12 00 today in an updated auurus senate car. The main changes to this car affected the appearance. The designers changed the bumper, headlights, radiator grille, hood, wings, and as it became known, a night vision function appeared in the cabin. Additional cameras also updated the multimedia system. Also. Will take place in st. Andrews hall, also called the throne room, it is dedicated to the first and highest order of russia, st. Andrew the firstcalled. The room is divided by square columns of white marble in the central part of the hall; opposite the entrance there is a royal seat. Three thrones are installed here, for the emperors, his wife and mother. At the back there is an image of a doubleheaded eagle, on the wall above the tent. The image of the allseeing eye is locked. During the inauguration, a stage is set up here. According to the regulations , the state flag is carried into the ceremonial hall, as well as symbols of president ial power, a standard and a gold sign. In its center is the cross of the order of merit for the fatherland. The chain consists of seventeen links, nine have the russian coat of arms, eight have the motto. Benefit, honor, glory. On the reverse side are the names and dates of entry into office of all state leaders. Also at the inauguration they will use a special edition of the constitution, in which the heads of the country have taken the oath since 1996. After this, Vladimir Putin will enter the hall. During the ceremony , the president will place his hand on the constitution and take the oath of office. Its text is written in eighty second article. The oath consists of thirty three words, including prepositions and conjunctions. It says that the president swears to respect the protection of rights. Freedom of man and citizen, observe the fundamental law of the state, protect the sovereignty and independence, security and integrity of the country, and also faithfully serve the people. Afterwards, Vladimir Putin will address citizens with a short speech. The ceremony is preceded by a long and careful preparation. Inna osipova will tell you how it went. For the inauguration ceremony the post of president of russia in the kremlin is carefully prepared not only by people, but also by horses. He cleans them until they shine and checks them. All the ammunition, by the way, each of them has their own, indicating the name, for example, congress, the president of russia has served for more than 5 years, they love sugar and affection, these horses are well versed in everything that. Concerns parade marches and special events. However, before the main state ceremony itself, mandatory training is required. Moreover, the qualer honorary escort is given a special role, this is how they work out the meeting president of the front entrance. I drove by and stopped. Inside, on the stairs, the head of state is greeted by guardsmen in ceremonial uniforms, model 1812. After the oath, according to tradition , the russian anthem is performed in the alexandrov ensemble, which also conducts rehearsals, although onita definitely knows every word, every chord by heart. Both for orchestra and for choir, this work is very, very difficult, because it combines quite a lot of genre features that are inherent in our anthem, probably when alexander vasilyevich. Wrote probably everything that should be in this work, he took into account absolutely, the works from the point of view of reflecting the history of our country, its greatness, its power and the strength of our people, namely about the connection of times, the centuriesold history of the country and the solemn march of the president ial regiment within the walls of the kremlin, the final part of the inauguration ceremony. Such a production, the greeting is also clearly practiced, synchronicity is important here, taking into account the walking staff, horses and music, review of the kremlin regiment on the cathedral square, after taking the oath, it is already a tradition, the origins of which go back to the past of imperial russia, at the rehearsal all the elements of the formation and march are practiced. And passage to the cavalry inna osipova, marina gusarova, ntv television company. And now we are transported directly to the large kremlin palace, our columnist, roman sobol, works there, he has direct contact with the studio.
