Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! #Russian President Vladimir #Putin celebrated the New Year in a bunker far from Moscow, behind the Ural mountains. Recall that, relatively recently, the President planned to celebrate the New Year at his residence in Sochi.

However, the strike on the Crimean bridge made #Putin think, and the strike on military airfields in the Ryazan and Saratov regions served as a convincing reason to move New Year's Eve to a bunker at a "safe" distance.

#Putin celebrated the New Year in the company of his family and a few close friends. Among those invited were: Yuri Kovalchuk and Nikolai #Patrushev. Patrushev is the only representative of the current regime who was invited to the President's New Year's table.

Despite the attempt of Alina Kabaeva and the servants to create a festive atmosphere, everything went quite ordinary. One might even say boring. Nothing could help: neither the Christmas tree, decorated in red and white with an abundance of garlands and tinsel,...

nor the festive table with many delicacies and alcoholic drinks, nor even the cake prepared with the participation of Kabaeva. #Putin looked tired, ate exclusively dietary "mashed dishes" specially prepared for him, and toasts and conversations mainly concerned the war.

Those present tried in vain to cheer up the President with wishes for an early Victory and promises of the implementation of all plans. #Putin cheered up a little by midnight Moscow time and made the "main" toast, celebrating 2023.

But by 1 a.m. on January 1, he felt unwell and left, inviting the guests to continue celebrating without him. By 2 a.m., doctors on duty were called to the President and spent about twenty minutes in the presidential chamber.

After #Putin's departure, the guests were completely depressed, but the cohabitant of the President of #Russia, Alina Kabaeva, people say, came to life and cheered up. She even tried to entertain those present for a few more hours.

After that, everyone went to their apartments. It was the saddest and gloomiest New Year's Eve for the President and guests during #Putin's stay at the top of power.
