Do judges allow to make audio or video for public in the courts of Britain, USA, Kanada, Australia or Germany? No. The Russian court allowed to make an official video and audio to all people present in the court room.

The main contenders are:
Mishustin, Sobyanin and Shoigu, and possibly his own daughter.
