Well, wait ...

The Central Election Commission did not see the agitation in the broadcast of the film Oliver Stone Putin, but called on the first channel to postpone his show and act "with the proper degree of care" in the electoral period. This is reported by Interfax.

"The film does not contain calls to vote for or against the candidate, does not express preferences to any candidate, does not contain a description of the possible consequences of the election or unclear of the candidate. There is no existence of a campaign goal in the channel," said the head of the CEC Ella Pamfilova. At the same time, she noted that "during the election campaign of JSC" Channel One ", it is necessary to act in the same way as other television channels - with the proper degree of care."

According to Pampilova, although the theme of the film is not related to the elections, but "is based on the participation of an official officially registered as a candidate for the position of president." “This can cause questions. Yes, it already causes, judging by the appeals that come to us. At the same time, the special social responsibility of the organization that carries out the release of the media should be taken into account in the formation of public opinion regarding the election campaign,” the head of the CEC explained.

“To offer JSC Channel One to consider the above arguments and postpone the further display of the Putin documentary before the end of the voting in the presidential election. That is, to show the remaining series after the vote,” said Pampilova.

In the evening, RBC said that Channel One canceled the show of the last series of the film. The press service of the channel said they regretted that they had received a remark, despite the fact that the demonstration of the Law tape does not violate. “Nevertheless, we consider it important to listen to the opinion of the CEC,” the press release noted.

On February 2, Pamfilova made a presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov a remark for saying in support of Putin . "Now on behalf of the CEC I will make a comment to the president’s press secretary about the prevention of such statements in the future," she said.

According to Pamfilova, she meant the statements of Peskov about the rallies of supporters of Alexei Navalny's “voters strike”. The spokesman expressed them on January 29, the day after the protest. “It is unlikely that anyone will be able to question that Putin is the absolute leader of public opinion, the absolute leader of the political Olympus, let's say with whom at this stage it is unlikely that anyone can seriously compete,” the official said then. According to the head of the CEC, the words of the Putin press secretary contain "obvious signs of agitation."

In response, Peskov promised to be "more accurate" before the presidential election. "Now is the electoral period, it does not matter here that I think, it is important how the CEC perceives it, which is probably the leading body in holding the elections," Putin said.

The action announced by Navalny for the boycott of the elections was held on January 28 in 118 cities of Russia. About 10 thousand people went to Tverskaya in Moscow. At rallies throughout the country, 257 people were detained. In the capital, there were without mass detentions - 16 people were in the police, including Navalny himself. However, in the future, in connection with the action, many of its participants and organizers were subjected to administrative punishments.
