Vladimir Putin proposed considering in the Duma initiatives of citizens that have collected more than 100 thousand signatures on the Internet. At the same time, hackers published materials on the Internet that some well-known bloggers carried out orders from the Kremlin for money.

Valery Goreglyad, deputy chairman of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation : “I don’t think that we should interpret Putin’s words in such a way that the authorities should take direct actions, relying on certain opinions that are on the Internet.”

Andrey Isaev, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Labor and Social Policy : “I trust the non-anonymous Internet. When it comes to people who introduce themselves, register and show their voice, then this is a modern means of communication, which is quite normal.”
