Press Secretary of Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov wrote a letter to the British newspaper The Guardian, in which the journalist Miriam Elder about her life in Moscow responded to the article of journalist Miriam. In her article, Elder described the "Hell of Russian Bureaucracy", pursuing a person even in dry cleaning. Peskov sympathized with the journalist in connection with the lost time, but added that "it is strange to draw global conclusions about the general state of affairs in Russia on such an anecdotal example."
“Let me remind British readers about thousands of hours stolen from the Russians when filling out an application for a British visa that takes ten pages. Time, money and efforts spent by the Russians upon receipt of a British visa, return to Ms. Elder a message,” Peskov writes.
In February, Peskov called Time journalists Russophobes and Putinophobes. So he commented in an interview with Kommersant FM. The cover of an American magazine, where a signature was posted next to Putin’s little photograph: "The incredibly decreasing Prime Minister of Russia. Vladimir Putin will become the president for a third term, but his power is weakened as ever before. And from this the whole world becomes a more dangerous place."
“It is possible to say with great confidence that the author of these words is a big Russophobe and Putinophobe. And at the same time, this phobia blocks his eyes and does not allow him to objectively evaluate reality. Despite this, we will continue this work, we will explain the actions that are being taken, we will be ready to explain everything to all those who need it. And we will also refrain from those who have no sense in this,” Peskov said.
On the eve of the presidential election, Peskov said that the statements of the Western media that Russian officials for money were forced to provide voting for Vladimir Putin - nothing more than an “information cranberry”. “This is a classic example of information cranberries,” Peskov said.
