You now see it in all its splendor, it is named after the order of the holy great martyr george, was established by empress catherine the great in 1769.

The combined military orchestra, consisting of 1,400 musicians, entered the middle of the square and thundered, glory to the russian people. the president ial standard is on your screens, and, probably, throughout red square on the territory of the kremlin beyond its borders we hear this roar of artillery pieces, artillery salvos. This is also a traditional part of the inauguration ceremony of the president of russia. The president ial standard always rises above the residence of the head of state when he is there, or rather, it is his duplicate, and the standard itself is the only one. A copy is always kept in the president s office. The head of state made a speech where he noted that now, in our time, we are answerable to our history, our ancestors, and spoke about new the horizons of russia, resistance to challenges and threats to our flexibility, about the atmosphere in society, about our values, about what future awaits our country. This is how the first part of the solemn ceremony ends on such a high note , gentlemen. We ask you to remain in your seats. Pay attention to the screens. Now on Cathedral Square there will be a ceremony of presenting the president ial regiment to the president of the Russian Federation, Supreme Commanderinchief of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, on the occasion of his assumption of office. Well, now we can still see the interior decoration of the large kremlin palace, its halls, st. Georges, st. Andrews and alexander halls, where the guests gathered, in just a few minutes the second part of the ceremony will begin, the review of the president ial regiment on the Cathedral Square, we see that in st. Georges hall in the other two halls of the large one. Special screens have been installed in the palace, it is thanks to them that guests in the large kremlin palace will be able to see all the smallest details, ceremonial ceremonies. Today we saw the kremlin soldiers in all their glory during the removal of the flag and sign of Vladimir Putin, the constitution during all stages of the solemn ceremony, well, it doesnt end there, so well see it on Cathedral Square very soon. The second part is a review of soldiers of the president ial regiment. Yes, we see the guests of the ceremony, we saw the chairman of the government, Mikhail Vladimirovich mishustin, deputy chairman of the Security CouncilDmitry Anatolyevich medvedev, now we see the kremlin Cathedral Square, this is where it will happen ceremony of presenting the president ial regiment to the incoming Supreme Commanderinchief. One of the main centers of gravity and the president ial regiment is already ready to introduce itself to the head of state who has just taken office. So, the white corridor of the large kremlin palace, live broadcast, in just a few seconds, Vladimir Putin will enter the Cathedral Square of the moscow kremlin. The president will have to go through the ornate chamber, this is also a historical place, it was built specifically for various solemn ceremonies, the boyar duma gathered here , numerous scenes from the holy scriptures are decorated here, as we spoke next to Vladimir Putin, the head of the security service, we talked briefly about something, now everyone is waiting for the second part of the solemn ceremony, the red porch is a faceted chamber on your screens, we see a forge chamber from the outside, thats what its called, you can see from the facade, due to the specific processing of the stone, the facade of this building is processed with faceted stone. In general, back in the middle of the 15th century the faceted chamber became a kind of audience hall necessary to improve the status of the russian capital. Spacious with an area of about 500 square meters, it became the first large building of the moscow kremlin built in the european style. It has been performing its historical function for more than 5 hundred years. Well, now it is part of the complex of the large kremlin palace, which, as everyone knows, is the ruler. Everything is ready for the review of the president ial regiment, again on your screens that same staircase, the famous one, the holy blue ones, the red porch, and the parade crews are already took their places on Cathedral Square. So, Vladimir Putin is on your screens. The president descends the steps of the red porch to review the president ial regiment. Regiment, mirner, to meet from the front to the edge. Comrade president of the Russian Federation, the president ial regiment was built in honor of the inauguration of the president of the Russian Federation, commander of the president ial regiment, colonel suraigin. Hello regiment, smyrna, solemn march, turn one linear distance to the right, op, slop, straight to the right, step. Well, lets continue the story about what the president ial regiment is, this part is, without exaggeration, unique, the elite. It was created 88 years ago, and its main task is to ensure the security of top officials of the state and the protection of the moscow kremlin facilities. Its military personnel participate in military rituals, protocol events at the highest level, and stand guard at the eternal flame at the tomb of the unknown soldier. And since 2000, they have been involved in the president ial inauguration ceremony, or rather the inauguration of the presidency, and are worn into the hall state attributes. Has the status of a special service, the regiment reports directly to the president , and of course it is interesting to tell that in the ranks of the kremlin only those who have passed the most severe selection, the requirements, one might say, are severe, special, height from 170 to 190 cm, education of at least eleven years of school, and with good academic performance, it is also necessary to have. Excellent health in military medical parlance , compliance with the president ial standard sounds like fitness a, the highest. Yes, its probably not worth saying that those who have been convicted or are Police Officers are not allowed to serve in the kremlin regiment. Young people from most regions of our country serve in the president ial regiment. Well, heres another interesting detail about the soldiers. The president ial regiment, along with the regulations, is taught by heart and the towers of the moscow kremlin. Anyone without hesitation should name all of them clockwise and back. This also applies to the cavalrymen of the honorary escort; today we will see them too. Meanwhile, the regiment has a history of combat; the names of the servicemen of this unit are inscribed in the annals of the great patriotic war. From the first days of the war they defended the kremlin from german air raids and guarded a particularly important facility. With two golden letters p , a metal breastplate in the form of a cross with kremlin teeth along the edges and crossed metaphors in the middle. And of course, the kremlin men carry out all their tasks in any weather. Look at what endurance you have, what you become. Not a single muscle flinched, and this despite the fact that the temperature in moscow today is downright winter. Vladimir putin took office as president of the Russian Federation, indeed, a national leader, our national leader, came to the end of these elections with an unprecedented result, a historical result, recent history does not remember such results, this is natural, because russia is now experiencing the most important turning point in history, not only its own, but all of humanity, at last. Our future, the future of our children, we understand perfectly well what kind of burden and responsibility lies on our national leader, on our Supreme Commander and on each of us, which is why the record turnout and over 80 support, 87 support. The same cavalry escort on your screens. Well, so, we saw how the president ial regiment was reviewed, but the ceremony does not end there, we are still on the Cathedral Square in the very heart of the moscow kremlin. It occupies the central part of Borovitsky Hill and is considered the oldest in the capital. And right now you see Vladimir Putin. Climbs the steps of the annunciation cathedral, where the patriarch is ladies and gentlemen president of russia the country has rallied around its president , the country has gathered and is ready to move forward, without giving offense to our people, without giving up an inch of our native land, to our victory , our victories, which will not only be on the battlefield. Vladimir putin spoke about this in his speech after taking office and addressed literally every citizen of our country. But its probably also worth talking about whats next. And christ has risen and given life to those who are in the city, and the mortal trampled down death by death, the vapor of the soul, pomme, the wisdom of vomme. And because he is good, i depart from his mercy, omniscience, god, do it, lord, rejoice, you vigilante, all day long, do it, lord, congratulate yourself. To him, and so that you who are evil and existent know how to do good deeds and give them to your children, since your heavenly father will give good to those who ask him, to you, lord, glory to you, have mercy on us, god, we also pray for the president of our russian country, vladimir vladimirovich, even if you give him gifts, to rule and justice, strength and wisdom, rule our country well, peace and its prosperity , enjoyment of all kinds of housing and adversary, fear and. You are a merciful god and a lover of mankind, and to you we send glory to the father and the son and the holy spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. Lets pray to the lord. God, great and wondrous, unseen by goodness and rich providence. Rule over all things, the ghosts of our earnest prayer now, and bless the Good Intention of the president of our country, vladimir vladimirovich, who lays the beginning of the rule of our russian country, preserved by you, wisely instruct him to carry out this Great Service without stumbling, give him understanding and wisdom, russian people live in silence and without sadness.

Happened, christ is risen from the dead, trampling death by death and giving life to the living being, our true god, through the prayers of his most pure mother, the holy glorious allpraised apostles, the saints and righteous god the father, joachim and all the saints. Christ rose from the dead by death. The beaver ate for many years, many roars, and battles. This is the very weak point that sometimes prevents people in power from walking their life path with dignity, because there are many conflicts, the head of state must sometimes make fateful and formidable decisions, and if if you fail to make such a decision, the consequences can be extremely dangerous for the people and for the state. But these decisions are almost always associated, including with sacrifices, and such decisions, made for the good of the people, for the good of the country, have never been condemned by either the church or the people, and we know how many saints, saints of god, who led our state, and who courageously defended their people in the field of lies. Well, its enough to remember the saintly prince alexander nevsky, close to you too and for me, because we are both from st. Petersburg, this man did not spare enemies, but b
