During the conversation, Zyuganov said that "it makes sense to gather all the leaders of the factions and discuss: the repair of the electoral system is required."

"Good. We are constantly discussing issues of this kind with you, including those related to the political system of the country, ”Putin replied.

The Russian president noted that it is necessary “to watch how the existing tools work in real life and what needs to be corrected in the process, what to improve, to make more effective, working for the benefit of the people of Russia.”

In turn, the leader of the Communist Party said that the faction already has proposals for amendments to the electoral legislation and declared the importance of “building a solid, good system, where there would be both rivalry and control, and at the same time people would do business, develop the country, and not make it difficult ".

“Let's talk,” Putin concluded.

On September 8, elections to government bodies at various levels were held throughout the country. The Russians elected deputies of the legislative assemblies and city councils, heads of municipalities and governors.
