Peskov: Putin has a strong background of trust among the population

According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, over the decades in power, Russian President Vladimir Putin has earned a strong “background in terms of trust.” By this he explained the president’s “power of persuasion”, which, according to Mr. Peskov, allows Vladimir Putin to make long-term promises to the population.

“I remember when Putin was prime minister, it was a year when there were fires. He came to the village, it was a fairly large village that was burned to the ground, and he talked with the inhabitants of this village, who were in a difficult condition. They lost everything: documents, housing, schools, clothes, food. And Putin alone convinced them that in just two months everything will stand still. And he did it,” Mr. Peskov recalled an episode from his practice during the educational marathon of the Knowledge Society (TASS quote).

Dmitry Peskov allegedly spoke about the events of 2010, when due to forest fires in the Nizhny Novgorod region burned down Vereya village. Then, in August, at that time, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin visited the Nizhny Novgorod village and promised the residents that “until winter, all houses will stand.” By autumn, the settlement really was restoredwhich was widely covered in the Russian media.

On the restoration of the Volga village – in the archival report of the special correspondent of “Kommersant” Andrey Kolesnikov “There is no house without fire”.
