The day before, the publication published an article in which Peskov is quoted, in one of which he said that the elections in Russia were “not so”. a lot of democracy, but “expensive bureaucracy”, but the president of the Russian Federation “will be re-elected with more than 90% of the vote.”

Peskov confirmed that he met and spoke with a journalist from an American publication, but the answer to his question was completely different. He specified that, according to him, the level of consolidation of Russian society around Putin is unprecedented, and if he is nominated, we can now say that he will be re-elected with a huge advantage.
In addition, Peskov noted that all his words during the commentary were personal opinions.
