And another: "Why were the May 5 demonstrations in support of Navalny suppressed?"
Next question asks Putin to impose sanctions on Latvia for supposedly oppressing Russian "compatriots." Putin again expresses his opposition to sanctions in general and then criticizes the Baltic countries for creating state-less people and limiting the rights of Russian-speakers and "compatriots" in those countries. Putin says Russia working with EU to make them "ashamed" to ignore rights violations in the Baltic states.
Next question is about the phenomenon of imposing criminal penalties against people for "liking" or "sharing" social media posts. Writer Sergei Shargunov says that if the current law were taken seriously, Russia would have to destroy the works of Pushkin and Dostoevsky.
Putin says he agrees with Shargunov. Says that spreading "extremism" must be punished, but this needs to be defined properly and the law used reasonably and with restraint. Calls on his All-Russia People's Front to look into the matter.
Putin says Russia must stop the propaganda of "suicide and fascism." Didn't mention homosexuality.
Putin criticizes the United States for spreading its legal jurisdiction around the globe and said this is "absolutely unacceptable." Again says the world needs to sit down and work out together a system that will enable the global economy to develop efficiently.
Next question is about tense relations with the United Kingdom and its "accusations" against Russia regarding the attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulya. Putin says that if Novichok had been used, they would have died immediately.
