“You did not work well and professionally, you’ve done it sincerely – I have seen it, as they say, with the soul, realizing the importance of the end result” – thanked Vladimir Putin to members of the working group. The participants analyzed the international experience, organized a wide-ranging discussion. In fact, it is the citizens were the main authors listed in the Constitution of the changes, because their initiatives were systematized. The band members played with their own ideas. “Your suggestions are exactly coincided with the expectations of the people,” – said the President. As an example, he cited the nominated people’s artist of Russia Vladimir Mashkov initiative on the prohibition of the alienation of territories. “I think many people have seen reports, as residents of one of the territories of Russia, for whom this topic is of particular importance, literally took the words of Vladimir Lvovich – that this amendment shall be of reinforced concrete, – Putin said. And was erected in honor of the 67th article of the Constitution, which stipulates that provision, concrete memorial sign”. We are talking about the Central square of Yuzhno-Kurilsk, where it was placed a plate with a sign on which is engraved the text of the amendment on the inviolability of the Russian borders.
“I Must say that this is not one or two territories, and a much greater amount sensitive areas of Russia”, – said PResident of the Russian Federation.

Vladimir Putin during the discussion also stressed the importance of social support for Russians – for targeted help, to remind you, as stated in the amendments to the Constitution. “The most important thing is to raise the incomes of Russian families, he said. – While there is we have not made, on the contrary – the level of people’s income is reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to think about how to support them.”
Commenting on the inequality of the size of subsidies for housing to low income families, Putin called this topic “very important and sensitive for the people”. He assured that the government will work to resolve this problem and to help those in need. “The cutoff of family security, when she may qualify for a subsidy from the state, it is necessary to change, – said the head of state. But this, of course, requires a certain miscalculation”.
“it’s my firm belief, Russia needs an inflow of new citizens. Not only in increasing the birth rate in the country, but also in attracting people from abroad”, – said the President. “Of course, if we are talking about our compatriots, the bearers of the Russian language, Russian culture, we are doubly, triply interested in the inflow of such people who feel themselves to be Russians in the broadest sense of the word,” he added.

He also agreed with the view that the need for control in the sphere of distance learning.
Valuable suggestions, which were not included in the Constitution, must be implemented at the level of laws or regulations. “All packaging in the Constitution is virtually impossible, unrealistic, and essentially not necessary. But the proposals which came from people who we cannot accommodate in the Constitution and which are absolute value for society, without a doubt, needs to be implemented,” he said. “It is important that we do not lose anything of what people have acquired and offered useful for the country”, – Putin said.
People, he said, heart felt and put to the vote the proposals are in demand and necessary for the country. “This inner attitude of citizens of Russia to create the conditions for sustained stable development of the country, is extremely important”, – said Putin.
