YEKATERINA ANDREYEVA: Yes, questions are also coming in via the special site, www.presidentline.ru. One of the questions is quite sensitive. The problem of corruption has become rampant and is something we encounter at every level of life, from opening a business to paying bribes to the traffic police. It is no secret that often quite senior police officials provide protection to gangs and I know about this not from hearsay.

VLADIMIR PUTIN: As a member of a gang, or ...?

YEKATERINA ANDREYEVA: No, as the victim of a gang. There is constant talk about the fight against corruption, but the results of this fight have yet to be seen and the situation is only becoming worse. The participants in our Hot Line are asking, should we just resign ourselves to this situation, and what can we do about it?

VLADIMIR PUTIN: This, unfortunately, is one of the most serious problems we face in our life today. This is a problem not just for Russia but for many countries in the world. Countries face this problem in more or less acute form at various periods in their development. At the moment this issue is a serious one for our country and we need to take immediate and comprehensive action to fight it. We need to do this by tightening control over the work of the law enforcement agencies and the executive authorities. We need to improve the material situation of civil servants and the personnel of the law enforcement agencies. We need to put in place conditions in which people will value their job more than they value the money they could make by taking bribes. We need to put in place the right economic conditions, and we need to create an attitude of public intolerance towards corruption.

Under no circumstances should people begin a discussion on the streets with the traffic police by proposing money, and under no circumstances should people begin their dealings with civil servants by offering a bribe. I want to remind you that the law punishes equally both the person giving and the person taking the bribe. We need to put in place a whole system of state measures including making the incomes of civil servants and their families transparent. This will take time and hard work by public organisations and the entire state. Of course, we also need to develop the institutions of civil society and a free press.

YEKATERINA ANDREYEVA: A lot of different questions are coming in via the Internet. One of the frequently asked questions is about how the Duma has been talking a lot lately about introducing a tax on childless people. What is your view on this matter?

VLADIMIR PUTIN: We had such a tax during the Soviet years. It is my conviction that a law cannot be amoral. A law always has to be moral otherwise it is a bad law. I think that imposing a tax on childless people has no moral basis and that such a law cannot be passed.

YEKATERINA ANDREYEVA: Thank you.

Now, continuing our Hot Line, we have our TV centres set up in ten different locations, and we now have a linkup with the town of Nabarezhniye Chelny in the Republic of Tatarstan. Our correspondent Ilya Kanavin is working there.

Ilya, you have the floor, we are waiting for your questions.

ILYA KANAVIN: Good afternoon, Vladimir Vladimirovich.

Good afternoon, Yekaterina and Sergei.

This is a town that was built for a plant. The KamAZ Plant was built 35 years ago, and so the town of Naberezhniye Chelny was born. We are at the KamAZ Plant, right in front of the main assembly line. The vehicles here include the best truck in the world, the KamAZ-Master team truck that won the Paris-Dakar rally for the sixth time. And Im sure this vehicle will be familiar to you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, because you sat behind the wheel of it.

I think it will be only natural if the first question is about cars. It would be strange if this were not the case. Does anyone have a question about cars?
