covered not the least of which were of course the protests which followed after russia's doing was state duma elections at the end of last year and took that to me seriously that said that he respected people's show of content or discontent with the government but he did warn that some people are getting a little carried away with the show of protest for example by opposing the hunger strikes. here regarding people who protest first of all they have the right but the other thing here is that there can be genuine protests and they can be calculated political opposition and let me say right away i'm not judging anyone on that matter still there's such a thing is in hunger games you know if you've seen it it's quite a regular hollywood blockbuster. and those who do such things often pursue some obvious political goal some have said that they protest in russia were financed by none other than the united states a state department to that material movement of replied that people should not get carried away with conspiracy theories too much washington's hand can reach different places but regarding

basically people who didn't get enough seats in the vote that you told to take seats in the in the state duma following the elections in december now this was an issue that had been pushed following those elections that resulted in protests in moscow as well as elsewhere however the police some of the leaders of that protest movement particular boris nemtsov had been critical of the decision to to pass this law. saying this well it would result in opposition being too fragmented the ability to set up a political party with just five hundred supporters of course in russia the constitution doesn't allow coalitions to be formed saying that well without its pretty toothless it could result in as i say. a. opposition without the ability without the support to really challenge the government so it's gone through but it isn't without its critics peter our live from central moscow thanks. it only a growing number of people are turning to gambling trying to make money fast in a struggling european economy scratch cards and online poker have made the industry so accessible that many find themselves fig

and you will assessment of the government's work over the last twelve months giving this to the state duma so what is the verdict on the economy well actually it's quite rosy quite positive and was boasting basically that the economy has come back to pre-crisis levels the g.d.p. has is higher than it was two thousand and eight before two thousand totally overcome the. crisis let's talk more about this to our correspondent daniel bush who has been listening to the president elect talk to the duma hi there that he also apparently a pretty upbeat outlook for the colony and the pretty ambitious goals that. russian unemployment is now under those levels in two thousand and eight also that's another good indicator yet government did remains low now he controls did that with the united states and europe with their high budget deficit and very point unemployment he said he states like greece the idea of a losing big national sovereignty in other words control over decision making to brussels in return for financial aid so he said it's good that russia still controlled its own destiny as you put it
