Peskov called Paper's blogger's question on Putin's direct line smart and solid

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov shared on December 22 that he was struck by the "solid and intelligent" question that blogger Vlad Paper asked Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"I was sincerely struck by this young man here, he really asked a very solid, very smart question," he said in an interview with VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin.

At the same time, the press secretary of the head of state noted that he had watched the blogger's videos, but "did not understand why he is so popular." Peskov called it a generational problem.

During the "Results of the Year" on Dec. 19, Putin, responding to a blogger's question about the slowdown of video hosting YouTube, said the platform and Google Corporation should not "abuse the Web" and must comply with Russian law. According to him, users often search for content on YouTube on the topic of culture or music, and the search engine offers them propaganda and videos irrelevant to the request.

In addition, he emphasized that YouTube and Google remove the names and materials of Russian artists and political figures.

Bumaga also asked the head of state about the values that opinion leaders need to promote. Putin called the sense of responsibility for the future and for the Motherland the main reference point in the upbringing of children.
