The decision maker is Putin. By answering dissenting opinion by taking them off the air he is showing that he is listening. And, yes, disagreeing. That’s his style. In the west pundits self censor.

As if the semi transparent criticism of Putin in Evening with Vladimir Solovyov is not self censorship...If they didn't feel threatened the panelists and presenter would use much stronger words and name names Their only punching bag till now has been Elvira Nabiullina head of the Central Bank.for impossibly high interest rates they would call for the immefiate removal og General Gerasimov and much much more

If Putin doesn't want to do what the Russian people want –– then he should explain why Putin does what Putin wants. The Russian people got rid of their Tzar. The Russian people got rid of their Soviet Union. Surely they can get rid of Putin –– if they haven't been entirely captured by the western version of ''Brave New World''
