Kommersant: a direct line with Putin will be held in June
A straight line with President Vladimir Putin will most likely be held in June and can be timed to the Day of Russia or Children's Day. According to Kommersant, two sources close to the presidential administration reported.
According to the publication, the use by the authorities of the "symbolism of the holidays" was discussed on Sunday at the ONF media forum. Particular attention to the forum participants from the management of the Kremlin public projects have given the ideology of holidays that can contribute to the unification of citizens.
Experts believe that the transfer of a straight line is associated with mass protests on March 26, "which the president does not obviously want to talk about." "The theme of corruption is very explosive. This throws a shadow not so much on Dmitry Medvedev as on Vladimir Putin himself," said Lev Gudkov, director of the Levada Center.
"A corruption scandal is not only an investigation by Alexei Navalny. The film lay down on negative moods that already growing from the bottom. According to my estimates that are actually underestimated, only in the last two years 750-800 reports of corruption scandals appeared," Gudkov added.
Other experts believe that a direct line in June "may" may become a starting point for the start of the presidential campaign. " “On a direct line, they should explain why the Russians should vote for Vladimir Putin, show the image of an attractive future,” the sources of the publication explained.
The Kremlin, in turn, said to bind the transfer of a straight line with recent protests absurdly. "This version does not have a believable look at all. The decision on transfer was made two months ago, long before the shares that took place a week ago. It is absurd enough," said Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
As RBC reports , he also emphasized that there is no “ideological or other background” in this decision, and it is connected exclusively with the president’s schedule.
Putin has been drawing straight lines annually since 2001. From the year of the year of the performance of Vladimir Putin, they became longer. On December 15, 2011, five days after a long -term action against falsifications in the elections, the prime minister and presidential candidate Putin talked with the people a little more than four and a half hours. There was no direct line only in 2012 - then it was postponed in the spring of 2013. In 2013-2016, a direct line passed in April.
In recent weeks in Russia, protest moods have sharply intensified. Anti -corruption shares held on March 26 throughout the country gathered thousands of participants in a number of cities. About 20 thousand people entered the inconsistent action in Moscow, of which 1030 were detained ( 
On April 2 , at least 59 people detained police on protest walks in Moscow. The detentions took place in other cities.
