a Voting on amendments to the Constitution and the Victory Parade could be held in one day, June 24. Nikolai Svanidze explained NSN, why a plebiscite cannot be postponed for the autumn.
As such, in the administration of President seen on 24 June. The exact date will depend on the epidemiological situation. The decision politically and outreach verified – noticed in the air NSN, commenting on these reports, the Council on human rights under the President of the Russian journalist Nikolai Svanidze.
“If at that time will be at least some kind of victory over coronavirus, at least on the first wave, then the parade, which will take place on 24 June, the day on which in 1945 was a Victory Parade, it will be as it were double: on the one hand, it is the memory of the victory over Hitler, on the other hand, it will be a victory parade over the coronavirus. Hitler won, Stalin, like, and the virus won Putin”.
It is also important that to delay until the fall a vote on the amendments to the Constitution is impossible, because by the time comes a greater awareness of the economic impact of pandemic coronavirus, and this can adversely affect the results of the plebiscite. Consider date from this point of view compares favorably, – said Nikolai Svanidze.
“the Joy “of victory parade on the coronavirus” is, victory over the infection, but do not realize people, what kind of hole economic hit. This awareness will come with time, and is unlikely to promote a positive attitude towards the government, so time is short to wait for autumn impossible. And here, in the joy of victory in the same day to vote for amendments to the Constitution, that is Putin, who won the coronavirus. Very well. If only the coronavirus does not intervene in these plans.”
Mobilization orientation of the idea one day and a Victory Parade and a vote on amendments to the Constitution noted in the air NSN and political analyst Yevgeny Minchenko. He said that such a move could address the issues with turnout, and to give a boost to the result in favour of the amendments.

Last time generally considered the option of collecting votes remotely”. A Union Parade and a vote on the amendments, the source NSN called “Patriotic mobilization”, which, in his opinion, “will increase the result in favour of the amendments to the Constitution”.
