Protests, announced throughout Russia on April 29, will not lead to the resignation of President Vladimir Putin, but they will be an important signal.

This in an interview with the "Observer" said a Russian political scientist, professor, head of the expert group "SOVA" and a member of the public council of the House of Free Russia in Kiev, Mikhail Savva.

"Protests on April 29 will not be a repetition of the March. I do not expect such a mass character, as it was on March 26. But during the April protests, another technology will be used - the direction of appeals with the demand to Vladimir Putin not to be nominated in the next presidential election. The shares, which Alexey Navalny called for and which took place last month, clearly showed the growing dissatisfaction of the Russians with the regime.

But then the main target was Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, "- said Savva.

According to him, now the goal is different - Putin.

"Of course, he will not resign on April 29. But Russia and the world will receive a signal - not all Russians support this regime, "the political scientist summed up..

As reported by the "Observer", the Russian oppositionists united against President Vladimir Putin.
