This happened on February 19, when Putin laid flowers at the monument of Anatoly Sobchak and then went to a group of local residents who were standing nearby.
“I think it’s very difficult,” Putin replied.
The woman said to Putin that the president's salary is great.
“Not just me. There are much higher salaries. The president does not have the highest salary, ”Putin replied.
The woman also complained that it was impossible to buy food at the cost of living established by the state, and wondered how single mother can live with it.
"I understand. Therefore, we are now implementing a whole program to support families with children. Great program,” Putin said.
