Russian President Vladimir Putin again talked in video format with Regina Parpieva, a participant in the Dream with Me project, RIA Novosti reports on Saturday, December 5.
The girl again asked the head of state several questions and talked about how her life had changed after their first meeting.
“It’s so good that in our high-tech time, we can meet and talk like this, no matter what. How are you feeling? How are you feeling?” – she turned to Putin.
The head of state, in turn, wished the girl health and well-being. He also added that when he meets with volunteers, his “mood certainly gets better, festive and active.”
Parpieva noted that the president is a positive person and asked how he manages to maintain this quality, to which Putin noted that this is due to communication with people like a girl.
The interviewer admitted that in the two years since her first meeting with the president, a lot has changed in her life. For example, she decided on her future profession and decided to enter the journalism faculty of Moscow State University. According to the girl, she “immediately fell in love with these twisted railings, marble steps, legendary classrooms with their stories, teachers with kind hearts and bright minds.” However, she noted that she was worried about whether her classmates would accept her. As a result, her worries were in vain and now she has many friends.
Parpieva also said that she was working on her diction according to the method of Demosthenes: she was picking up a mouthful of stones and reciting the verses of Russian classics.
“The fact that you train diction is also great. I know that many professionals do this. Have you tried replacing stones with candy? Maybe this will be more effective? ” – Putin said, to which the girl laughed and expressed her admiration for the president and his work.
In July, Parpieva took five prizes in the swimming competition at the All-Russian Summer Spartakiad for Disabled People.
In December 2018, 17-year-old Regina Parpieva interviewed Putin, thus fulfilling a dream that the head of state learned about at a forum of Russian volunteers. The editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya MIA and RT TV channel Margarita Simonyan helped the girl prepare for the interview.
