MOSCOW. Sept 27 (Interfax) - Russian opposition party leaders disagree with some statements made by President Vladimir Putin in a live call-in show on Tuesday, but many said this form of contact with the public is useful.

Leader of the Rodina parliamentary faction Sergei Glazyev said that the TV linkup could be of some benefit.

"Live call-in shows are definitely useful, since they offer a view of what is happening to the country's top-level officials," Glazyev told the press on Tuesday.

"But many problems were raised in an overly smoothed tone; therefore, we'll hardly see appropriate reaction to them," Glazyev said.

Glazyev also said that the questions about the budget and monetary policy were of special importance.

Communist Party deputy leader, State Duma Deputy Ivan Melnikov, categorically disagrees with Putin's assertion that "no danger of a rollback to the monopoly of power exists in Russia."

"This is not so at all. There is a variety of monopoly on power which is officially sealed in the constitution, as in the Soviet era. But there is also a variety of unofficial monopoly on power - the monopoly of one party, United Russia, which we see in Russia today," Melnikov told journalists.

Melnikov said in remarks about proposed constitutional amendments on a third presidential term that he was not satisfied with the president's answer. "Each time the president said 'No' I had a growing impression that the officialdom wants the president to say 'Yes', so nearer to 2008, the situation could change radically 'at the citizens' request,'" the deputy said.

Leader of the Union of Right Forces (SPS) Nikita Belykh said he was disappointed by Putin's answers.

"The president once again demonstrated his penchant for political mimicry. He gave answers that would be equally liked by the old and young, liberals and communists - by all," Belykh told the press.

Belykh also said that he was not discouraged by the fact that while naming United Russia's opponents Putin did not mention either SPS or Yabloko, or other liberal political parties. "The fact that the president named only left-wing parties indicates that there is no real left-wing opposition," Belykh said.

Belykh said that he was also displeased by the answer to the question of a third presidential term. "The president gave a general answer - neither 'Yes,' nor 'No," so everyone could hear what he wants to hear. Some understand this answer as the president's decision to quit politics in 2008, while others think he will stay on, but in a different format," Belykh said.
