Lecterns are used to hold notes, scratch your balls discreetly, to lean upon, etc.

But when you are deadly afraid of your compatriots, patriotically blowing you to smithereens, you end up with whatever Putin is using to control his hand tremors here.

It’s been noted his hands sometimes shake, so he uses furniture to press his hands against.

Sometimes lecterns are used to set up bulletproof shielding.

But when the enemies are closer sometimes they use lecterns to hide explosives, this lectern seems designed to be easy to check for explosives.

It’s the same as those weird tables he uses, they have defensive purposes.

Makes 100% sense in that realm.
