Election results, who won
The final rating of candidates for the presidency of Russia was published on March 19, 2018.
Guys Enough to live in a lie. Let's change something ourselves. But if they don’t substitute the music.
Lord, how many morons gathered in one place.
We must vote for Russia, not the billionaire sternum
Anonymous from 25.02.2018. Are you hinting at yourself?
You will compare life as it was under the Soviet Union and what kind of medicine education was now the free level of medicine and education was much higher than now the prices of food were penny everything was available the level of food was much higher and better than now everything was built and developed and now complete collapse of the country is happening all the common people are in a distress state do not fool wake up and vote for Grudinin
If there was such a candidate as Shoigu, I think he would have won, he would have put such order in our army, I have long forgotten about hazing. I think that Putin V.V. put a good helper on this post. It was necessary for 18 years to figure out who is who and to appoint the same assistants in all directions. Then there would be an impeccable result. And now people are at a loss as to whom to vote for and what to do in order not to harm. I'm in complete confusion. I have already read everything, which is possible. To be afraid to elect the head of a state farm, but if you look at Belarus, then Lukashenka, too, was not in power, and what he achieved, he has such an order. The convenience stores don't even have security, no one is afraid of anything. That's really dad, so dad for his country, but it was also not easy for him.
no order there
Putin has done a lot for Russia, but such a minus in his work is deposits abroad, corruption. Financing of medicine, education on a residual basis. It is believed that officials and deputies are people, they should receive a decent salary plus state support, and the pensions of former deputies are simply sky-high and they will never understand us mere mortals, our problems and our government in general does not think about how we can live a month receiving a pension of 15 thousand rubles. A shame. Even on the state farm from Grudinin, the tractor driver receives 78 thousand rubles.
Change! - our hearts demand. Change! - our eyes demand.
In our laughter and in our tears, and in the pulsation of veins: “Change! We are waiting for changes!"
If everyone gets up and goes to the polls, then maybe something will change, otherwise unused ballots will go to support you know who. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.
I am for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation for Grudinin P.N. Putin and United Russia have brought the country to poverty miserable pension wages in the regions of a penny people survive and do not live.
It's high time for Putin to change, enough to rob the country and make the working people beggars. I vote on March 18 for the Communist Party for Pavel Nikolayevich Grudinin. I ask everyone to come to the polls and make the right choice.
comments for Putin and against Grudinin are practically not published here
I personally will vote for Putin for the first time.
And we already had combine operators and sowed corn in Siberia. I do not exclude that Grudinin is an agent of US influence.
In addition, you simply cannot imagine what scum （of course not all） in the KP manual. I know not by hearsay.
I have been in the Communist Party for 20 years and will go out
