Megyn Kelly is getting off to a great start at NBC. Page Six has exclusively confirmed that she will travel to Russia next month to moderate a session with President Vladimir Putin at a key international conference.

Sources say Kelly, who officially started at NBC on Monday, will moderate the session interviewing Putin as part of the Russian leader’s annual St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that takes place June 1-3.

Insiders say, “This is a great way for Megyn to get an inside track and land the big one-on-one interview with President Putin.”

Page Six revealed last month that NBC News chief Andy Lack had traveled to Russia to lay the groundwork for a Putin interview.

At the time, sources speculated on whether the interview would go to former Fox News anchor Kelly to launch her at NBC, or other big NBC News names like Matt Lauer would try to pull rank. Now it seems Kelly is on track for the “big Putin get.”

Kelly is hosting two shows for NBC — a Sunday night news magazine show, which starts in June, and a 9 a.m. “inspirational talk” show, which will start in the fall.

An NBC News spokesperson said, “Megyn Kelly of NBC News will moderate the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on stage with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin. The conversation will cover a wide range of global political and economic topics, including international trade agreements, cyber-security and the impact of rising military tensions. The annual conference will take place from June 1 to 3, 2017. The exact time and date of the plenary session will be announced in the coming weeks.”

Showtime also has a big four-part Putin interview coming up. Filmmaker Oliver Stone interviews the Russian leader in “The Putin Interviews,” which will be screened over four consecutive nights starting June 12.
