June 15, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a so-called “Straight line” with its citizens.
About how everything was reflected in their cartoons artist Sergei Elkin.
After the mass arrests that occurred on the day anti-corruption rallies across Russia, preparing for a straight line could not take place otherwise than in a police escort.
During the broadcast there were questions that had to be uncomfortable and critical of Putin, but they never asked.
Well, the most “Direct line” was similar to “the descent of the king to the people”. The best Russian tradition.
