MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Kremlin has already started preparations for President Vladimir Putin’s annual "Direct Line" Q&A session, which may be the best opinion poll in the world, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday.
Earlier in the day, the Kremlin’s press service announced that the next "Direct Line" conference would take place on April 14. This will be Putin’s fourteenth Q&A session.
"The preparations have been launched, we are receiving questions. Traditionally, it is a great opportunity for analysis, and probably the best public opinion poll in the world, which the president uses in his everyday work," Peskov said.
Putin’s Q&A session in 2015 was watched by 8.4 million people and lasted 3 hours and 57 minutes. The Russian leader answered 74 questions out of the 3 million that were collected from various means of communication.
