Mr. President, The United States intends to deploy missle defenses that would be effective in stopping an attack from North Korea, Iran or Iraq, or perhaps a launch by rougue commanders.

Dear Mr. President, You mentioned Russia's interests in observing and analysing economic developments in South-East Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand in one of your articles and said that Russia is "prepared for mutually beneficial co-operation across the board" with us. Has there been or will be any solid plans to do so? I am a 15-year old fan of yours myself, and I'm also concerned with ties between Russia and Singapore (would you visit us one day?).

In Hungary, there are a lot of people, that think that we should improve our relationship with Russia. I think this is right, we are in the same boat. But what do you think about it, I mean, what is your opinion about Hungary's government's decision not to renew our MiG-29s, but to buy old, out-of-fashion, expensive US F-16? Are you also worried about NATO's (it is just a US 'subsidiary') aggressive expanding policy?
Karoly Vandor (Hungary, Budapest. e-mail: vandork@freemail.hu)

Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, indeed my question is a little bit insuating but I think you are able to handle with such questions. I think such a question will be a diversion from all these serious questions you received. My question is: Do you know that there are a lot of women who admire you as a great president but also covet you as man ??? I do so. I wish you all the best by ruling Russia and all the best for your health.
Marlene (West Germany)

In USA a governor once elected, can only be removed if he or she commited a criminal act. I wonder is the procedure the in Russian Federation. I have read that the President of Russia can remove a state governor. Is that true? If it is under what circumstances can a governor of a state be removed?
A.S. (USA)

Seven years ago I left Belarus at the age of 29 with my wife and two small kids to escape from Chernobyl and for better life for my kids. I am an Engineering Manager at one of the big Companies here in the US. I got the US citizenship a couple years ago, but was forced to give up my Belarusian citizenship. (Never mind that you need to pay $150 for your own humiliation). I think that former Russian citizens go through the same procedure. Mister president, it looks like you are trying to boost the image of Russia oversees. Would it make sense to start from boosting this image among the former Russian citizens! There are millions of former USSR citizens living abroad. Unless people who lived in the old system see the changes, no foreigner will believe you that the country changed. There are no many things, which changed in the last few years. Every time I enter the customs zone in Minsk and see the custom officers (very often looking for a reason to humiliate you and get their $5-$10 dollars) I understand how little if anything the situation changed there. What can you say - pure Belarus, pure people. I wish there were someone who cared about this country. I understand, that from your point of view the well being of Russia is more important than anything else. Unfortunately, your Belarusian counterpart does not wish the well being to his? country, his? people. The name of the game is “How to stay in power”. Whatever it takes. It took me four years to convince my management to try to do some business in my “former” homeland. We did one job, might do some more. It gives job to people, improves economy. A lot of people I know are hesitant to do any kind of business with former USSR. Do not expect anyone harrying to invest any money, unless there is believe into government and its good intentions. Try to count on the people who used to be the citizens of the former USSR. Make up with them. Try to understand that every country, every nation has a right for independence and sovereignty. Russia should get rid of the imperial ambitions and start concentrating on their internal affairs. Any thoughts mister President? Sincerely, former citizen of USSR and Belarus.
Fedor (USA)

Dear Mr. Putin Vladimir, will Russia recognize Armenian genocide in Turkey (April, 1915). If yes how soon. If not what is the reason of it. Sincerely yours,

Hope (LA)

Mr. President! My three questions concern to Your vision of spiritual sphere of a human being and a role of spiritualness in deeds of the head of the state. There is a category, which many centuries applies to be unique steady gathering form of the people, preventing from them danger of wars all against all, the category, which remains by the unique tested means against falling in social global chaos. This category is a state. You are the First official person of the Russian state, who now bears the enormous ethical and spiritual responsibility. A man is not capable to bear this weight without involtation (psycho-emotional powered injection of vital and spiritual forces). The man occupying the highest post, should be blessed on this feat by the highest forces of Providence (if he is not blessed, he a priori never will be the chief of state). Questions: 1) What is a spiritualness, a spiritual sight and spiritual origin of a man's deeds for You? 2) How the concepts Statehood and Spiritualness coexist in You? 3) Whether You have read amazing literary work of the Russian philosopher and poet Daniel Andreev about destinies of Russia and of the world "The Rose of the World" ? And request. Find an opportunity to meet with Alla Andreeva, Daniel Andreev's widow. Talk a pair of hours to this incredible light woman. The God with your historical mission will help You!
Arcady Noskov (Russia, Moscow)

Would it in your opinion make sense for Russia to make Russian language courses available on the Internet, to foreign language speakers ?
Erik Nilsson (Sweden)

Dear Mr. President, In Moscow exist many private companies supplying visa services,permits of work for oreigners,Moscow "Propiska"..... and so on. These companies are growing up like mushrooms together with the Moscow City "Postanovlenie-Ukaz-Zakon" the Mayor's Functionaries prepare daily. The services are very expensive if considering that these companies have only to get some signatures by the Moscow Officials authors of this bureaucracy. Very maddening is the fact that frequently the companies in question are recommended by Moscow City Officials as the only way do not transgress the Law by themselves elaborated! Often you have to pay "overfee" (in Russian language it is called "vziatko") Why Federal Authorities don't take this matter under their control if Moscow City Government itself is not able to respect Russian Constitution and Russian Federal Laws? Best regards
Ivo Toniut (Italy)

Mr. President, How can you describe a place of a contemporary Russia in a process of globalisation? What do you mean by a term: modernisation of Russia?
SЁawomir Dкbski

Hi, I'm SOHN,HEE-KYONG, who emailed Gazeta.Ru "Question to Putin several days ago. Here I send another question that I hope Gazeta.Ru ask Putin on interview scheduled on March 6th. Puin made two days-visiting to Seoul. During his visit to Seoul, he emphasized economic cooperation with Korea and Russia. Even just before he flews to Vietnam, Putin met S.Korean opposition party's leader, and very actively requested supra-partisan cooperation in the face of Korean government's investment to Russia. It is, of course, quite natural to request economic cooperation to a foreign leader as a country's President. But before he askes economic coooperation to foreign political leaders, what Putin must do first is to make favorable foreign investment environment at home. If foreign government and investors think Russia is a good country to invest and wherein investors can make interest, foreign governments and investors surely invest Russia, even although the Russian gov't doesn't allow them to invest Russia. So, I'd like to know what is Putin's plan to attract foreign investment in the government's position, and whether or not he is willing to offer strong economic incentives to foreign investors, in order to promote Russia's foreign domistic investment.
SOHN,HEE-KYONG (USA.)

President Putin, In your opinion, how did the fall of communism and the end of the Cold War affect the Russian Space Programs of the past and present, and what effect has it had on modern space technology and international relations? Do you support Space research, and the increasingly prominant attempts at further international cooperation in space? (such as the International Space Station) Sincerely,
Patricia Everett

Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, Firstly, I welcome the opportunity to make contact with you. My question is: How would you prioritise the issues facing the Russian Federation today? I watch with interest every day, the happenings of Russia. We see that payment of debt is high in order of priority, integration in world trade is high, economic reforms are also high. What we don't appear to see though, is a priority called "raising the living standard" for the millions of Russian citizens. I'm sure this must fall into the overall scheme of things, and would be a natural process, but this must be difficult for many to see now. I have family in Russia, with whom I contact very regularly. They are a class of people who grew up with the Soviet system. They do not understand or feel that they fit into the new market style society. I know of many people in the same situation. How does the Government intend to address the fact that many of the population simply are "not up to speed" with the changes? I would imagine this will impact on any reforms that are implemented. May I take this opportunity to send my regards to Russia, and wish you and the country the best. Regards
Daryl Slater (AUSTRALIA)

What is being done to decrease brain drain ? I am one of those who received western education and interested to return back to Russia to apply my knowledge and experience? What is done to attract back people like myself?
Andrei (Zurich)

Hi, my name is SOHN,HEE-KYONG, a foreign student studying abroad in U.S. now. And I'm also Gazeeta.Ru's rader. I know Gazeta would interview President Putin on March 6th. So here I have a question I'd like Gazeta ask Putin. My question is: Now Putin is trying to launch political reform and as a part of it, he wants to reduce the number of political parties firts. In my opinion, in order for Russia to have westernized democratic system in political sector, party politics system must be adopted and then it should perform normally. In order to do so, I think, President should be backed by a political party; in orther words, Putin must belong to a political party and must be a chief of that ruling party. As long as he President is staying out of political party, it is hard to imagine democracy in Russia, because now President is in emperor-like position. If President belongs to a political party, it would be easy for President to gain support from politicians including governors and congressmen who are members of the ruling party. So, could Gazeta ask Putin whether or not he is willing to belong to a politcal party? (for the development of Russia's party politics)
SOHN,HEE-KYONG (U.S.)

Mr. President. Would YOU like to send a plane to Minnesota to take a lot of gifts.? If it 's possible connect us thrue Russian's Churchies in Minneapolis.

I'm so sorry if something is not as well as good. Thank's .

Dear Mr. President: You ar used to know Mr. Michail Mirilashvili personally. What is your personal opinion (francly, please) about this man? Why is it so necessary to keep such a person in prison, while it is obvious he won't disapperar if released from the SIZO?
Ilya (Finland)

Hello, I am from Germany and I wonder if you would consider to abolish the visa-regulation for European-citizens visiting Russia ? I have friends in Russia and I'd like to visit them without spending time and money and waiting weeks for getting a visa - anyway I will get such a visa everytime I want to visit Russia - but everytime it costs time and money to get it. And after I arrived in Russia - I have to run to a police/OVIR office to register myself... this is a bureocracy that just costs time... and sometimes nerves.... I know that Russian citizens need a visa to visit the European-Union - but mabye it would be a generous gesture of Russia to abolish visa-regulations ? And I could imagine that this would be more than just a gesture - it also could increase tourism, businness and private visits of European citizens to Russia. You once mentioned that the world should learn more about Russia - about Russian politics, people and culture... I belive that abolishing that visa regulation would support this ! Letting people freely enter and leave Russia would help building better relations between Europe/USA and Russia.... free travelling will help much more than advertising in USA newspapers.... I do understand the security needs of Russia (blocking criminals etc.) by giving visas.... but once I've read something true: "Criminals never stand in a queue" Visas only hit ordinary people who want to visit friends and family. thank you
(Germany)

Dear Mr. President, I represent a group of agribusiness investors who are small by international standards but a big one by Russian standards called Euro Asian Investment Holding Inc. and I would like to know when rights of minority shareholders will be respected by Russian enterprises? With all due respect Mr. President, you should know that continuing abuses of these rights at this moment are simply killing our apetite for Russian investmetns. It seems your government only cares for big investors?
Henri J. Bardon (Seattle, United States)

Could you, please, explain, what kind of a debt you are pushing to pay off, what the relationship of this debt to so-called GKO and why it is most important then to pay off the defaulted domestic debt as well as to fund all social programmes, education, new technology, space research and an economic growth?

No other country in the world is attempting to build large jet aircraft other than as a collaborative international effort. In Russia you are attempting to develop and build three different large jet aircraft types. This would bankrupt Boeing or Airbus were they to attempt such a project, and Russia doesn't have the economy to support such a project either. Why isn't Russia enter into international cooperation?

Thank you and be lucky.

I'm disabled veteran WWII from Russia, now since 1995 I live in the USA. Why I do not receive my pension from Russia in my new place of living?
Lazar Gekht (USA, Newton, Massachusentts)

Hello Mr. Putin! Why your government and Constitutional Court of Russia gave chance to Mr. Yeltsin to leave his position with no charge? It is not a secret, what people of the former Soviet Union think about Gorbachev and Yeltsin. They are both destroyers of S.U. and violators of constitution. The problem which your government has today- this result of actions of presidents, which were before you. You can not move forward if you don't tell people, what was happened and what do you think about that. Truth always brings fresh air. We wish you success in your job, only make things faster.
Victor (U.S.A., Michigan, Wixom)

Dear Mr. President, I know for sure that all the questions submitted to You will be examinated by Russian General Prosecutors and FSB. I am not against to this but I would really appreciate to get an answer to my question n. 89 personally by You. It is a fact that since about 2 years General Prosecutors turn all my questions to Moscow City Prosecutors and that I never received a logical answer. Please take into serious consideration that that 5 Moscow Prosecutors sent to me 5 different answers to the same question. The most stiking answer is the following: "Any decision about your expulsion shall be postponed after Moscow Court decision". Italian Embassy in Moscow received this answer about one year after my expulsion which happened just one day before the Court in question! I have been informed about the same thing with letter personally signed (September 30,1999) by Mr. Pavel Borodin.However someone was very interested,for reasons to me famous, to expel me from Russia before the Court.The same bodies are also very interested do not permit anymore my entry in Russia. I am sure that 5 minutes of Your precious time are sufficient to resolve this important to me and to my daughter matter. Thank You in advance. Best regards,
Ivo Toniut (Italy)

Do you realize that in Russian history no one of the reforms didn't compleated from Alekzander the Second? Now you have to do it. What would be the consistency of reforms ? Do you consider they are late? How do you stop the desintegration of Russia? Thanks.

Mr. Putin, are you a determined man? During your long rule, are you going to to get tired?

1.Do you really think that Russia will survive (in its contemporary state of economics and etc.) returning to former Soviet Union's doctrine in respect to small nations? 2. Why not to simply be with them in good standing and respect their wills? 3. Do you understand that behaviour of russians soldiers is reminiscent to behaviour of nazi soldiers in Great War II?

Sehr geehrter Herr President! Ich studiere jetzt in Deutschland und habe bemerkt, dass deutsche Medien sehr vorgefasst ueber Russland berichten. Wenn sie etwas zeigen, dann nur das Schlechteste. Wenn sich doch etwas Gutes aus ihren Sendungen heraushoert, dann waere alles nur mit auslaendischer Hilfe. Dadurch werden Deutsche zur Ansicht geneigt, dass in Russland nur Chaos, Verbrecher und Gesetzlosigkeit herrscht. Ich bin der Meinung, dass solche Vorstelungen jede Zusammenarbeit zwischen Deutschland und Russland schaden. Koennten Sie etwas in diese Richtung unternehmen? z.B. irgendein Projekt zwischen deutschen und russischen TV-Sendern, Zeitungen u.s.w. Ich bedanke mich voraus. Mit Respekt.
Denis Antipov (dennnis_mail@yahoo.com) Deutschland)

Dear Mr. President, What do You personally feel everytime Russian Prosecutors accuse important Russian Government Authorities or Russian businessmen to be involved in corruption matters? Is Russia going to make changes of the Penal Code and specifically to articles 290-291? Why none of many foreign businessmen having activity in Moscow has never been accused to offer bribe? Is it a form of respect to foreign investment or the weakness of the Moscow City Government?It is a matter of fact that nobody may be corrupted if nobody gives the bribe. Do You think,as I do, that the art. 291 of Russian Penal Code (dacha v vzyatki)must be more strict? Thank You.

Dear Mr. President I'd like to know how you keep from fainting when you look in the mirror and see yourself.

Dear Mr. President, You mentioned Russia's interests in observing and analysing economic developments in South-East Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand in one of your articles and said that Russia is "prepared for mutually beneficial co-operation across the board" with us. Has there been or will be any solid plans to do so? I am a fan of yours myself, and I'm also concerned with ties between Russia and Singapore (would you visit us one day?). Can Singapore be in any position to help Russia in any way?

Dear Mr. President, Why the Moscow Mayor Mr. Lushkov shows an high interest to construction and real estate business only? Can Mr. Lushkov live without foreign real estate "investments"? How Mr. Lushkov family got so rich in the last few years? How is it possible that for the construction of the new Moscow Cathedral Mr. Lushkov spent $ 650 mil? Has the current Mayor of Russian capital a "special" salary or he is just very clever indipendently by the shape of his cranium? Thank You.

Uvazhaemy Vladimir Vladimirovich! Following defeat by the Allies in 1945, Japan and West Germany became the second and third richest economies in the world. At the same time, they abdicated from foreign policy, accepted massive loss of sovereignty and wholly entered into the US alliance and value system. Why does Russia not implement strategies similar to those that brought such wealth to the citizens of W. Germany and Japan?
Charles Price (Oxford, United Kingdom)

От кого вы научили столько русских пословиц, которые вы часто используете в ваших выступлениях и речах?
Маккенна Кевин (Вермонт США)

Dear Mr. President, I am Russian and I have graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. Now I am a final-year student at Princeton University, USA. I would be happy to return back to Russia, but it is not possible to do science there because of extremely low level of salary. As a result, I am going to stay in US and to work in the University of Chicago. My Chinese friends are going back to China, because they will be given professor positions in the leading Chinese Universities. A salary of a professor in China is about $1000 USD per month, which is ten times more than the averaged salary (about $100 USD per month). Thus, they like to return. Would it be possible to stimulate Russian scientists to return back in a "Chinese" way? For example, if Russia could accept 100 outstanding scientists to each of 100 top universities and pay $1000 per month, it would approximately cost 100*100*$10000 = 100 million dollars per year,which is not very much for Russian budget. Thank you,
Leonid (Princeton University, USA)

Dear Mr. President, How are you reacting to the recent arrest of Robert Philip Hanssen? For me it is surprising that Moscow is quiet about this matter. It has been said that the spy activities have increased. Will we be looking for a second Cold War here?

Dear Mr. President, What is Your opinion about the shocking corruption existing in Moscow City? What Federal Authorities and General Prosecutors Office are planning to do in order to decrease this phenomenon? Do You personally think the Moscow Mayor Staff have sufficient skills (further to the construction managerial ones) to co-ordinate anti-corruption campaign or in supporting Federal Law Enforcement during this fight? May an other Russian town be the new capital of Russia?If yes,who You consider the appropriate candidate for the post of mayor? Best regards,

Andrei Ilyin (London)

Dear Mr. President, I have been living in the former USSR for 13 years (86-99)and always showing an high respect for your Country and Russian. In Russia lives my 6 y.o. natural daughter,Russian citizen. During 99, due to a Civil Court dispute I had with an US citizen the Moscow OVIR Police did not extend my stay visa and illegal sequestrated my passport for 4 months. The Moscow Civil Court requested me and the US citizen to appear on November 19,1999. November 17 I have been imprisoned and the next day (one day before the Court)I have been forced expelled from Russia. Moscow Authorities did not inform about the terms of interdiction and above to all I cannot see my daughter since more than year. Should my little daughter to wait to be 18 y.o. in order to meet her father? Why I have been expelled one day before the Court? I really hope You to consider this very strange matter giving to me and my daughter the possibility to meet soon. I also really hope that the authors of this immoral action will be punished by the Law. Best regards, Ivo Toniut Italian citizen

Dear Mr. President of Russian Federation, I have been living in the former USSR for 13 years (since 86) always showing an high respect for Russian people. In Russia lives my 6 y.o. natural daughter, Russian citizen. During 99 I had a Court dispute with an American citizen and Moscow Police OVIR did refuse to extend my stay-visa and illegal (stated like this by Prosecutors)sequestrated my passport for 4 months. The Court asked me to appear November 19,1999. November 17,1999 I have been imprisoned by Moscow Police OVIR and the next day (it was one day before the Court) forced expelled me from Russia. The terms of my interdiction are officially unknown. Since more than one year I cannot meet my daughter in her native country. Moscow Prosecutors and MID do not give to me and to Italian Embassy any explanation about this case. What I have to do in order to see my daughter and to get entry visa in the Country that I always respected? Best regards, Ivo Toniut

Dear Vlavimir Vladimirovich, You mentioned a few times that there is a lack of young professionals in the government (taken broadly) and that the state is interested in hiring such professionals. Under such professionals, I mean, amongst others, those who have degrees from both Russian and foreign universities, have broad range of experience in working both domestically and abroad, speak one or more foreign languages but who would like to help our country to regain its weight and become economically and politically prosperous. Question: I would be interested to know your views about the criteria on the basis on which the state would be prepared to employ young professionals.

Why is the Russian military commanders in charge of the Chechnian operation commiting foolish blunders such as sending AFV's into terrain from which it is easy to ambush and destroy them? Why does Russia not spend funds developing a counter-guerrilla force instead of a new tank or jet fighter, like they are doing now?

Dear President, for 38 years I used to be a citizen of Soviet Union. I lived in Kiev, but my working activity covered all parts of USSR (for instance, I spent my military service in Armavir, i.e. Russia). Now I live in NY. When I applied for Russian citizenship, I was rejected even to file an application at Russian Consulate in NY. They told me that I'm not eligible because physically I didn't live in Russia-only in Ukraine. Do you think it's fair?

Dear Valadimir Vladimirovich. During your visits to various regions of Russia you sometimes meet with, so to speak, common people. You talk to them on the streets, you are invited to their houses etc. Don't you think that behaving as a "Good Zar", showing that you're "equal" with the people, might trigger the old good belief that the "good governor" will make the country happy, but not the personal effort of each and every single citizen?

Mister President. As an American descendent of German refugees from the Koenigsberg/Kalinengrad region, I'm curious about the future of that area. There has been much speculation in the Western press about a renewed German presence -- ecomomic or administrative -- in the former Prussian area. Do you foresee the region developing closer economical and cultural ties to West, regardless of the proposed regional NATO memberships? Bol'shoe spasibo, i vsego xoroshego!

It is well known that the Oil and Gas Industry brings the prosperity to the producing countries. In addition, the infrastructures of areas adjacent to the oil fields are developed and people living in these areas are employed. It is a win-win situation to the industry and country. It usually takes between 5 to 10 years to start oil production from new undeveloped areas, which require a significant multibillion-dollar investment. In most of countries foreign oil companies provide the investment to develop the natural resources in exchange for a reasonable economic return. Instead of producing and developing these resources many reputable foreign corporations have unsuccessfully been negotiating for the past 10 years the Production Sharing Agreements (PSA) with the State and local authorities. Many oil companies left Russia. While the PSA and foreign investment environment is slowly being developed in Russia the foreign oil investment in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan has been flourishing. My question is: When will Russia change the situation from "nether for you nor me" to the announcement that several PSA’s have been approved and foreign companies together with Russian corporations have started to invest significant funds into the development of the country? With great respect.

Why the freedom of speach is still an issue in Russia? I see it as an issue because government still tries to maintain control over media in some form.

Just let the best journalism to survive competition. (immigrated from Russi

Pavel (United Kingdom)

In the government's programme it is said that the two main challenges are reconstruction of executive-legislative authority and deepening of unfinished economic reforms. I think that there is also a third challenge: changing mentality, norms and values. Efforts to make the country more democratic and prosperous are meaningless if they are not recognised as such by the population. Do you agree that without complete understanding and recognition of population of your actions and without a fast but gradual change in mentality the majority of the reforms are deemed to be unsuccessful?
Pavel (UK, pavel_er@hotmail.com)

Dear Mr. Putin, I am a Ph.D. student from Russia studying Economics at one of the US universities. I also have a Candidate of Science degree from one of Russian universities. Upon my graduation I would like to work for the Russian government or for the Central Bank of Russia. However, I do not see any real opportunity to get hired by these organizations since “normal” job placement in Russia is not applicable in sense that connections play more important role than actual credentials of a candidate. I know that my situation is not unique and that there are many Russian people with Western education willing to work in Russia. It is pitiful that our country does not do everything possible to keep the most talented and young portion of its citizens demanded within the country. I would appreciate if you let us know what exactly we can do (any contact information or something) to find a job in Russia that would correspond to our qualifications. I would also like to know what you are going to do to stop “brain drain” from Russia. Thank you very much.

Mr. President, how would you assess the legality of so called "privatization" in Russia conducted under your predecessor, when a great deal of country's material wealth collected by several generations of Soviet and Russian citizens (awfully underpaid for their work) was privately distributed among very few "well connected" people? Would you publicly (in press, or other sources of mass media) comment on this greatest "expropriation" in Russian history since October Revolution?

If the information about enormous sums and loans on the Federal Bureau of Investigations’ web site is true, why don’t you tell the people about that in a TV program? The thing is that common people cannot afford a computer, to say nothing about the Internet. Your position is absolutely unclear, as well as the position of your closest companions. Aren’t their fists itchy? The President’s name is covered with mud and they are keeping silence. Forgive my stile, but I cannot help fighting back. Thank you for your answer.
