Any criticism towards the opponents of the Russian Federation is perceived as intrigues of the Kremlin, this is nonsense, you can not blame everything on the "intrigues" of the Kremlin, said Russian President Vladimir Putin, RIA Novosti reports.

"Any criticism towards our opponents is perceived as intrigues of the Kremlin, the "hand" of the Kremlin. This is some kind of nonsense, what have you fallen to? You'd better use your brains, present something more interesting, present your point of view in some conceptual way. You can't blame everything on the 'intrigues' of the Kremlin," Putin said at a plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club.
