Answering the question of Alexei Navalny, Putin said that "the wrestler with evil himself should be flawless." However, he did not utter the name of the founder of "Rospil". Putin added that "we must learn to act within the framework of the law."

Answering the question whose project is Navalny, Putin said that "every specific person, if it is someone’s project, is only a project of his parents." According to him, each person can stand out thanks to his activities, including due to the fight against corruption.

Three participants in the forum in vegetable costumes were asked by the president whether people who called on Muscovites will be punished on July 18 to an inconsistent action in support of Navalny . Putin noted that the criticism of the authorities should be correct, otherwise the country will "slide into chaos." “If we slide into chaos, then this chaos is waiting for us, the same as in some countries of the Middle East. Who needs it? Nobody needs it,” he said.

"And such figures as Pop Gapon, who brought people to a demonstration under the bullets (in 1905. - Ed.), And he himself, I hope, will no longer be in our history," Putin added.

At the same time, the president admitted that "everyone has the right to self -expression, everyone can and has the right to express his point of view, his position, including critical, in relation to anyone in the country." “It is important that this be within the framework of the current law and does not violate the rights and interests of other citizens,” Putin emphasized.

On July 18, Alexei Navalny and Pyotr Officers received real terms on charges of embezzlement of property of the Kirovles state -owned enterprise - five and four years, respectively. They were taken into custody in the courtroom, but the next day they were released on a recognizance not to leave before consideration of the case in the appeal instance.
