Congratulations from the President of the Russian Federation on the New Year. Happy Birthday

The President's congratulations to the people of the Russian Federation on the New Year have long become a tradition, and without it it is impossible to imagine the feast on the night of December 31 to January 1.

The speech against the backdrop of the Kremlin is recorded in advance and broadcast on federal channels before the chimes strike. Russia is a huge country with several time zones, so in the east of the country the calendar New Year comes several hours earlier than in the west. Residents of Anadyr, Magadan and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky are the first to celebrate the New Year - at 16.00 Moscow time. Residents of these regions are the first to hear the president’s parting words for 2019, and thanks to the Internet, Putin’s New Year’s greetings can be watched online a few minutes after his speech. The text of the congratulations, as a rule, is banal and has streamlined wording, but sometimes a thesis review of the events of the outgoing year is inserted into the New Year's speech. If you want to watch Putin’s New Year’s speech before everyone else, go to this page after 16.00 Moscow time. The text of Putin’s congratulations on the New Year 2019 will also be published here.

Text of Putin's congratulations on the New Year 2018/2019

Dear citizens of Russia! Dear friends!

Time is bringing us closer to the New Year, 2019. Behind us is a busy December full of worries, when we were in a hurry to complete urgent matters, clarify plans for the future and, of course, prepare for the holiday. And now we are waiting with excitement and hope for the coming of the New Year, we see the delighted eyes of the kids, we feel how happy the parents and grandparents are if the whole family is together at these moments, and their hearts are warmed with sensitivity and attention and we understand that this is the New Year magic, and it is our spiritual generosity that creates it. It is in demand both on holidays and on weekdays, when we support those who need help, who are lonely or sick. After all, there really is no such thing as someone else’s misfortune, and mercy always responds with kindness and gives the joy of participation.

Dear friends!

Everyone has their own expectations now. But by and large, we all want our loved ones to be healthy, for harmony to reign in the house, for children to be happy, for life to be peaceful, and for dreams, even the most secret ones, to come true.

IN New Year's Eve, as in childhood, we make wishes, expect luck and good fortune. And let them be. But we still know for sure that we can achieve the best for ourselves, for our family, for our native country only through our own efforts, through joint coordinated work.

We have to solve many pressing problems in the economy, science and technology, in healthcare, education and culture and, most importantly, step by step to achieve an increase in well-being and quality of life, so that all citizens of Russia, each of us, will feel changes for the better in the coming year.

We can only do this together. We have never had and never will have assistants. And that’s why it’s important for us to be a cohesive, united, strong team. And may the friendship and good hopes that unite everyone now accompany us in the future, help us in our work and in achieving common goals.

Dear friends!

Just a few seconds separate us from the New Year 2019. Let's wish happiness to those around us. Let's say our warmest words to everyone we love, thank the parents, hug the children tenderly and tightly, and open our hearts to each other. After all, when millions of people experience such bright feelings, the world is filled with love and trust.

I sincerely wish you joy and prosperity, and success and prosperity to our Motherland, our beloved Russia.

I congratulate you on the occasion! Happy New Year 2019!

New Year's greetings from Putin and Medvedev 1999-2019

Very soon the country will celebrate a holiday that can no longer be imagined without the president’s congratulations and the striking of the Kremlin chimes. From millions of television screens they count down the last seconds of the outgoing year and herald the coming of a new one.

But such a seemingly unshakable tradition has not developed everywhere. In some regions, the chime from the Spasskaya Tower is heard an hour before or after midnight. Channel One decided to fix this.

Here they know exactly which channel will be the main one on New Year's Eve. The family from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is waiting for her with special trepidation. For the first time in long years Kamchatka will see the president's address at 23:55 local time on Channel One.

It may seem nonsense to Muscovites and St. Petersburg residents, but in Khabarovsk the speech of the head of state was shown at one in the morning. And in Omsk, the president addressed the country at 11 pm. The New Year's rhythm was disrupted by the outdated Soviet television broadcasting system.

“Our country stretches across 11 time zones. From Kaliningrad to Chukotka and Kamchatka. But historically, Channel One’s programs are broadcast in five broadcast zones,” explained Valentina Udalova, Director of the Directorate of Channel One Program Distribution Networks (Moscow).

These zones were created to compensate for the time difference with Moscow. Zero, two o'clock, four, six, eight. The broadcast was launched with such a shift. But residents of other, odd-numbered time zones had to see television programs earlier or later.

“To correct this historical mistake, this year Channel One for the first time decided to broadcast the President’s New Year’s greetings in all 11 time zones,” said Valentina Udalova.

That is, in each region, Channel One will show the New Year’s message five minutes before midnight local time. For this purpose, the existing space communications constellation, satellites, and cable networks were used.

This is the on-air heart of the entire First Channel. Here a television signal is generated to every point in the country. This is where the New Year's address from the President of the Russian Federation will be launched. To ensure that everything goes perfectly on the night of 31st to 1st, they are already testing the equipment and rehearsing how the New Year's broadcast will take place in all time zones of our country. But there won't be any fun here. They themselves need to organize a holiday for the whole country 11 times in a row.

“The president, of course, is the most responsible person for us. On the night from 31st to 1st there will be a rather difficult broadcast, you won’t relax here,” says Anna Stepanova, senior broadcaster of the “Ether” service of the Directorate of Programs of Channel One.

A New Year's gift to Channel One TV viewers, who literally flooded the editorial office with requests. Millions of Russians only need to keep the broadcast on the first button to New Year arrived at their house on time.
