The Russian prime minister's office will hold consultations with lawyers over plans by a Moscow nightclub to hold an event entitled "Putin Party," Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
Rai (Paradise) Nightclub has announced the holding of the party with a slogan that says "I want the prime minister!" on March 6.
Peskov said lawyers will help establish if the name of the planned party affects the image of the Russian prime minister. He said the organizers of the event had not received permission from Putin to use his name and image in the advertisement, as Russian law requires.
On the club's website, the announcement for the party portrays a fake ballot in which the "prime minister" was chosen over Hollywood star Bruce Willis, popular Russian rap singer Timati, football player David Beckham, and revolutionary Che Guevara.
"We wanted to stress that we are choosing the prime minister above everyone," a club spokeswoman, who identified herself as Maria, said.
