Putin answers questions on live TV for nearly four fours, with sense of humor
Russian President Vladimir Putin participated in a marathon live TV show to answer questions from Russian citizens for the 14th straight year on Thursday. For three hours and 40 minutes, he answered dozens of questions from among the 3.5 million submitted via telephone and text messages. When a citizen asked him which one of his two bitter rivals, Ukranian President Petro Poroshenko or Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, would he save first if they were both drowning, he responded, "if someone decides to drown, it's impossible to save him."
