MOSCOW, June 7 (UPI) -- Nearly two thirds of Russians say they think President Vladimir Putin should negotiate with opposition protesters, but few think it will happen, a poll found.
The poll by the Levada Center, published Thursday, found 69 percent of respondents said dialogue between Putin and the opposition is necessary, but only 35 percent said they believe such talks will happen in the near future, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.
