Πρόσωπο τῆς χρονιᾶς (καὶ γιὰ τὸ 2015, διεθνῶς): Βλαδίμηρος Πούτιν
Μιλάει γιὰ τὴν Χερσώνα, στὴν ἀρχαία Ταυρική, ἐκεῖ ποὺ ἔφθασε ἡ Ἰφιγένεια ὅταν τὴν ἅρπαξε τὸ σύννεφο.
Πόλεις ἑλληνικές, μὲ ἱστορία 3.000 χρόνων καὶ βᾶλε. Ἐκεῖ καὶ οἱ Δημιουργοί.
Ἀπὸ τὴν μιὰ ὁ Πούτιν ποὺ στὴν φωνή του ἀκοῦς τὴν ἠχὼ τῶν ἀμετρήτων αἰώνων, ποδοβολητὰ ἀλόγων, τὴν κλαγγὴ τῶν σιδερένιων ὅπλων, κι ἀπὸ τὴν ἄλλη ἡ Εὐρώπη καὶ ἡ Ἀμερικὴ νὰ μετροῦν φραγκοδίφραγκα.
Δὲν ὑπάρχει κἂν δίλημμα.
(Ἀνδρέας Φαρμάκις)

«Everything in Crimea speaks of our shared history and pride. This is the location of ancient Khersones, where Prince Vladimir was baptised. His spiritual feat of adopting Orthodoxy predetermined the overall basis of the culture, civilisation and human values that unite the peoples of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The graves of Russian soldiers whose bravery brought Crimea into the Russian empire are also in Crimea. This is also Sevastopol – a legendary city with an outstanding history, a fortress that serves as the birthplace of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Crimea is Balaklava and Kerch, Malakhov Kurgan and Sapun Ridge. Each one of these places is dear to our hearts, symbolising Russian military glory and outstanding valour.»
