The organizers selected several dozen people based on their manner of asking questions.

On April 12, at the Polyany boarding house on Rublevo-Uspenskoye Highway in the Moscow region, a casting was held for those who wanted to ask a question during a direct line with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The RBC agency reports this.

According to the publication, all those present—several hundred people—were divided into groups and asked to ask questions to the head of the country. Based on the results of the inspection, the organizers retained several dozen people who will take direct part in communicating with the president. Some of them will ask Putin their own questions, others - prepared by the organizers. A separate rehearsal was held with the selected group, telling the participants exactly how to behave during a live broadcast, for example, in the event of unforeseen problems.

Those who did not make the selection were told that they would be present at Gostiny Dvor, but would not be able to address Putin directly.
