Peskov Explains What the Result Means
Peskov spoke about the outcome in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin. He linked the party’s win to public support for the head of state. Peskov said:
“Since the absolute majority went to the United Russia party, and it is a party that fully shares Putin’s ideology, then of course this can be compared with such a statement of consolidation of Russian citizens around the president and general support for his policy.”
