This article explores how the power structures in discourses are reflected and become encoded in discourse strategies from the viewpoint of Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis. The target data is Vladimir Putin's annual press conference. Firstly, the metaphors represent shifting responsibility on another. Putin appears to have expressed a strong sense of responsibility for others by using metaphors. Secondly, rhetorical questions reveal getting the start on another. In particular, it was found that the frequency of the rhetorical questions is very high. This can be interpreted as being used as a means to emphasize one's speech. Thirdly, it is verified that so-called higher power participant in the discourse interrupts utterance of low power participant in the discourse. Fourthly, it was obviously revealed in the discourse that the advantageous structure for higher power participant's statement was backgrounded. Furthermore, this study reveals further feature to Fairclough's the set of formal features. It is the 'characterized agent'. Characterizing the agent, higher power participant in the discourse constricts another participant.
