Kobzev briefs Putin Troops and Irkutsk plans

Mar 24, 2022

Anastasia Kobyzeva reports Putin's meeting with Irkutsk governor Kobzev. He delivers servicemen's gratitude and recalls Dyakonov's death in Mariupol in March of the previous year, saying he covered a grenade to save comrades. Archival footage shows Dyakonov as a school pupil describing his wish to serve; the reporter mentions a memorial plaque and a planned park. The package describes aid visits, the veterans' foundation and family social passports. It reports investment plans, six MC-21 aircraft in 2024 and mass production in 2025 with 4,500 additional staff, low gasification and a Gazprom project linked to Power of Siberia 2. Putin raises rural healthcare; Kobzev describes staffing and two-million-ruble support, while the reporter discusses clinics and a children's hospital planned for 2025. Plans and recalled actions remain distinct from completed results.

Kobzev's July 2023 retrospective says twenty-year-old reconnaissance radio operator Eduard Dyakonov was killed in Mariupol in March 2022 after covering a grenade to save fellow soldiers. Vremya includes his childhood statement about military service, a memorial plaque and a planned park. His death is the historical occurrence; the broadcast date, archival pupil appearance and later commemoration are distinct chronology.
