Attempts by millions of citizens to turn to Putin - evidence of the shortcomings of local self -government, according to the State Duma

Deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation were not glad that during the direct line of Russian President Vladimir Putin with citizens of the Russian Federation, the head of state received three million issues - a record quantity for such programs. The fact that citizens treat all their problems immediately to the president indicates the shortcomings of the Institute of Local Self -Government, said Vladimir Pligin, head of the Duma committee on constitutional law and state building.

"The Institute of Local Self -Government did not take place, did not take place to the end of the Institute of Subjects of the Federation," Pligin said, whose words are quoted by the United Russia website at the joint meeting of the party platforms. He noticed that among the questions asked by citizens, "there were two episodes that simply touch." "The first is an episode of women from Khakassia, which, apparently, could not help, simply did not provide support, and the second episode is positive, where the subject in the border city of Gukovo solves the issues of refugees from Ukraine," he said.

Other deputies drew attention to the topic of agricultural development. “There are many unresolved problems in the agricultural sector. These are food security and support for a number of industries. We know that industries such as dairy farming need protection,” said Gennady Kulik, a member of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes.

Nikolai Antoshkin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Natural Resources, Environmental Management and Ecology, believes that the “United Russia” will be responsible for the implementation of a significant part of the proposals voiced on a direct line. "The party should solve not only global issues, but also specific - those that people face in the field. We must work in the field," he said. Anton Zharkov, a member of the State Duma Committee on Property, said that United Russia should pay more attention not only to decisions, but also to control these decisions.

Earlier, Putin was criticized for the creation of a "vertical of power." Former Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, shortly after the end of the direct line, said that he did not feel the readiness of the Russian president to change the management of the economy and the country.

Note that during the direct line, Putin discussed with the Russians problems, which usually hardly occupy the head of state. Among them are the restoration of electric trains in the regions, the apartment issue of veterans, the payment of salaries to the workers at the Vostochny cosmodrome, the spontaneous memorial in memory of Boris Nemtsov on the Big Moskvoretsky Bridge. Putin talked with the farmer about milk yields and promised the girl for the girl the simulator. And he even asked a retired military man to buy a dog to his wife, who came to the Kremlin with this question. The Ukrainian theme, despite the ongoing military conflict , has faded into the background, and special attention was focused on economic problems.
