Across Vologda, the city administration reported that roughly five hundred people attended the interview featuring Russian President Vladimir Putin and American journalist Tucker Carlson, held at a local cinema. The organizers noted that veterans were invited, while children and students were not part of the audience.
The hall could seat around six hundred. Estimates pointed to a turnout near five hundred, perhaps slightly higher. There was no formal headcount. Invitations were widely publicized, and the cinema director confirmed that the call went out after a statement from the mayor. Some attendees reached the venue by stairs, and a number of curious strangers asked who had invited them and why they were there. Organizers could not identify every individual or strictly manage every moment of the process. The space was open to all, and veterans from distant city districts attended. Local businesses supporting veteran groups helped transport attendees, recognizing that these were older residents with a genuine interest. A clear demand and public interest were evident.
Social media chatter suggested that regional residents wanted an evening screening for workers who could not attend during the day.
The mayor publicly supported an evening session for workers on his own page. At present, the cinema is the only venue in the city with a large screen and comfortable seating, which made it feasible to host the event under a single roof. If demand endures, the interview could be shown again on a future Monday or Tuesday evening, with organizers stating that any further arrangements would be handled in an orderly and professional manner.
Officials in Vologda signaled a readiness to continue broadcasting interviews with senior officials on the big screen if sustained public interest persists.
The reception depended on the informational value of the broadcast. The Putin interview drew considerable attention, and many people were eager to hear his remarks and perspectives. In multiple meetings with the mayor, questions about the interview surfaced, reflecting broad curiosity about the leader’s viewpoints and what might be said at other events. The mayor indicated that any continued demand and compelling content would determine the path forward for broadcasts.
Recently, Vologda Mayor Sergei Voropanov announced that those unable to watch online would have another opportunity to see the interview with Vladimir Putin and journalist Tucker Carlson at Lenkom cinema. The event occurred free of charge in the morning hours of February 14.
In a post interview comment, Carlson stated that Moscow possesses strengths surpassing many other cities, including in the United States. This comment sparked discussion as residents and officials weighed the implications and considered the potential for future discussions in public spaces.
