Election results, who won
Composition of the Central Election Commission (CEC)
The Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation is a federal state body formed in accordance with electoral legislation, organizing elections and referendums in the Russian Federation, independent of other government bodies within its competence.
The seventh composition of the election commission will operate from 2016 to 2021. It has 15 permanent members.
We are all responsible for everything! Illusions on the power, you have to work!
Putin has been in power for 17 years during this time, Russia has earned an official. oil statistics 1 trillion. $ 843 billion + $ 1 trillion dollars on gas! plus steel, coal, timber, etc. total $ 3 trillion! under Yeltsin 6 billionaires, and under Putin 200 billionaires - the Forbes list whose fortune is 500 billion dollars! those. intelligence did not see how Russia is being robbed, unemployment is fierce, food prices are like in Europe and the United States, and wages are like in an African country! 3 trillion dollars for this money, you can build 150 million apartments of 120 sq m each, and the roads are like in Europe, a new leader is needed, Putin is tired, or let him go to the Prime Minister and not to the presidency, have lost the Olympics, etc. Probably Valintina Matvienko is more suitable for the post of President of the Russian Federation, but she cannot be seen as a candidate. if Putin will be another 6 years, then instead of 200 there will be 300 billionaires. if everyone knows that Putin will win why spend 18 billion rubles on letterheads, how many grandmothers scour the trash, giving the last for a communal apartment that is more expensive than in Europe, let this money be given to orphans or grandmothers, knowing that Putin will win, why spend so much money on letterheads!
Now it is a practical military time, so Putin should be left anyway, but Pavel Grudinin is a great economic manager, he would have been elected to the prime minister of Russia, this post will allow him to show all his strength in the development of the country's economy.
unfortunately, the prime minister is not elected - he is appointed by the president. So, what the president will be, so will the prime minister
"Now is a practical military time, so Putin should be left anyway,"
All such times are created deliberately, by those who are behind the US Federal Reserve's machine, by conspiracy to control the crowd ...
Grudinin for the presidency, I really want our whole country to live, as they now live in the Lenin state farm. Watch the video in the net and you will understand everything. You can promise a lot, he has already done in his state farm, and this says a lot.
I would vote for Mara Baghdasaryan.
Guys, against Putin, mean playing along with the Americans and the West. This is unacceptable for Russia now, whatever our personal preferences.
Quite right.
We remember the 90s, and we remember the drunkard Yeltsin, but Putin got a broken trough, which he brought into a marketable condition and put into operation of world politics. Some say “he sells oil,” but so what? He raised the main country from his knees. Putin is strong and knows how to keep everything in his hands, but I think he did his job, the country needs the next step, which he is no longer able to take, therefore P.N. Grudinin.
"The cost of the contract for the creation of the logo was 35-37 million rubles." For this logo ?? Are you seriously!? We don't have money for anything !?
My vote is for Grudinin.
In my opinion, Grudini is the most adequate candidate for improving the economic situation within the country! Thank you very much to Vladimir Putin, he and his "Team" did everything they could ... now it's time to change the vector of development for the benefit of the people!
I read different moods. The diagnosis is as follows: there are sober. There are those who do not know how to think objectively, i.e. beyond their own nose and beloved ass they see nothing. There is someone who stubbornly does not want to see anything, i.e. most likely their own grievances obscure the eyes, but there are simply provocateurs who persistently work out their task - to kill Putin! Here is such a motley society. I will only say that the truth is born in the comparison of real facts.
I decided to express my position in verse, where, in order to expand my horizons, I briefly ran through all the historical and political events and the leaders of our country.
Read on. ODE-RUSSIAN PEOPLE
Turning your gaze back
We will see living hell
How many adversity survived
Our poor people.
Let's take the last century
There is so much trouble in it:
Business revolution,
Father of nations wherever,
And then Nikita came,
I hit the podium with a hoof,
Began to frighten America
Kuzkina promised them a mother!
Lenya gathered friends here
He sent Nikita to the garden.
I took all the posts for myself
One ruled the country.
The path is indicated, he alone is right
Everyone in communism pulled their pants up,
We must plow and not grieve,
After all, soon to live in communism.
We take what we can from everyone
And we will give everyone what God wants.
Many years have passed already
But communism is not to be seen!
How to get out of the impasse?
People need to explain:
We didn't reach communism
They came to developed socialism!
Lenya walked too long
Got old and never made it.
The whole Central Committee was stirred up
No health, but for now
We move our legs
Every now and then the country is controlled.
Andropov, following Chernenko
Leaning against a warm wall
They came to rule the country
They crawled to the secretary general.
So everyone wanted to be in time
Sit in Leni's chair!
But the young ones are in the wings
They quickly realized, cramped in the hut,
You can't reach communism
It's time to go another way!
Then Misha rushed to the top,
Not the one who rode on the roof in Kiev
Our Misha, ruddy and stained
Doused in boiling water in childhood.
It is necessary to castle like in chess,
Swap places between the rook and the king,
Let's call it all perestroika.
Let's take a new construction together,
We will build a super duper,
And if anything, let's run into the bushes.
America came with a hint
How to fool the people with a fairy tale,
Everyone should give vouchers
And then pick them up again!
Nails must be driven into factories
Industry to destroy
And cheaply for deception
Put everything in your pocket!
And danced the American waltz
Agile, red-haired our Chubais!
Then the military rose
It was not for nothing that they kissed Lyonya,
To defend the communists
Press Misha to the wall!
Misha, where are you? - I'm in Foros,
All smeared with diarrhea,
I can't fly to Moscow
I should sit here.
Borya intervened here
Knee-deep in the sea
If you take a glass on your chest
In the hands of the flag and just go!
I spoke to the people in the pub
And the people loved him.
He threw a cry for help,
Muscovites on the fast track
Everyone gathered on the square
And they climbed onto the tanks.
Borya began to rule the ball
Gathered everyone around him
We will build a legal
The state is young
And dissolve the whole union
Fuck us an extra load!
It started like this
State legal,
What verses cannot tell
and the pen cannot be described.
Someone was protecting someone,
Who shot, who stole,
Who squeezes the factories,
And the common people suffer.
Boris has no command
Surrounded by only rats
Destroy the economy?
No problem how to eat oysters
All factories on the shovels,
Let the stalls
Instead of them, they stand everywhere,
And people are beckoning to them.
Old men their watches
Exchanged for panties
And it was enough for lard
Since the pension is gone!
Democrats are jubilant
Everyone blows the West in the ass,
And imagine, to please them
They make the weather in the country.
Everything is ready to give at once
Islands, Siberia, Caucasus,
And under this, under the guise
Tear yourself a piece!
Distribute, sell, why do they need a lot
Their road leads to the west,
They want to live in villas in the states
And do not grieve in Russia!
They only hide behind words
What kind of people are sick themselves
Trying to earn fame
And the goal is one - to bring down the power.
Personnel officers spread rot,
Hundreds of rockets were put under the knife
All equipment in metal
And the ships there for scrap.
Yes, Bori had zeal
But such an environment….
Although he was a stubborn man,
But he could not resist and wilted!
Wang also said
She kept repeating everything about Russia,
On Olympus that one will flash
Who will unite the people.
Sucked up to ears
He will crush all kinds of lice
That the country is not allowed to live
They drink only the blood of the people.
The athlete became the captain,
He's a scout, superman
Got a firm grip on the wheel
Whistled everyone upstairs, crunch time!
Rats at once from the ship
Scattered in all directions.
Who to Europe and who to the States
Into the gilded huts
And they whine that the bone prevented
It was not possible to gnaw the country.
But then the west wept,
Ah yes Putin, that's impudent!
Didn't give a plan to implement
Completely ruin Russia!
We urgently need to do something
Somewhere to shit, somehow to beat,
But to dump Putin!
Democrats, get up
Get out under the posters,
Stir up your people
To Bolotnaya, forward!
A donkey will come to you with money
So be with us
We are outside, you are inside
Go to democracy.
You will not be lost
You will be chocolate!
There are squiggles in Russia,
Dogs and other things,
Apples and other fruits
Essentially rotten foods.
They seem to be playing democracy,
Only the air in the country is poisoned!
And again in America there is anxiety
Hysterically beats a hoof at the doorstep
John McCain is our partner in Vietnam
Since then I have sharpened my program.
How so! Olympics in Sochi?
Ours has no more urine,
It's time to urgently launch
The Ukrainians will jump!
Will be remembered for a whole century
Our Ukrainian project!
Yes that's right. The workpiece is impressive,
Training has been done for years
For the education of youth detachments,
Whose nationalistic faces
Should flicker in all coups,
In formed special companies.
Yanukovych, fofan president
Slept through the tragic moment!
Here are just Putin on the alert,
He took a check from Crimea at the moment
A planned explosion.
For some, this is a miracle.
Not just like that among the sheep
The green man flashed!
But what about Ukraine?
Half of the entire elite
I gave myself up for "freedom"
And sold for a dollar.
They are more comfortable in the open,
Like the Old Man in the "walk-field".
And Bender's dust of the world
Has already taken possession of the whole country!
Looking into the secret box
Seeing a paradox
That Bendery does not dream
Go to America.
What is the mess for,
Who does business in the country?
Richest bunch of fleas
And the people are like "Loch" for them.
Ukrainian brothers
All panties will be removed too
And rush abroad
To catch your Firebird
To grab some money
Somehow to live, exist.
Sorry. Our Russian lesson
It turned out to be not for them.
EPILOGUE.
Since Rasputin
We walked for a long time to Putin
Clever, cunning and fair
He keeps his word, is not chatty,
Did a lot for the country
I didn't whine, I didn't hide in the bushes,
Tell you more that for now
The authorities have a firm hand!
And if we choose again
Then we will live Putevo!
Our dear President,
We, common people, with you
I believe that under the applause of the beads
Our ship will go to the speedboat!

VADYA - PENSIONER
why doesn't he plant a redhead, didn't hesitate? I will not prompt. Why, as a result, Yeltsin nominated him, and not from the "common people", he nominated, did not hesitate? Why is he from the team of Yeltsin's liberals remained so clean and fluffy, and the rest are all bastards and crooks, why suddenly? Why then did he not speak out against the existing lawlessness and chaos in the 90s, although he had already held high posts and we had not even heard of him before, did not think about it? Why are the oligarchs fattening and exporting money from the country and the progressive tax they are the same 13%. and not 80%, as for example in France for the richest, did not hesitate? Think about it.
That part of the "common people" who are not interested in where their legs grow from, which are used to being poor. she is childishly happy with handouts from the master's table, and the people who are used to thinking there are still more of them, I think they do not want the best weapons in the world, but that the country's might be in a strong economy. So that we make the best goods in the world and fill the whole world with them. Then relations with the West will be different. I will not talk about independent courts and other things, this is democracy, and this is a dirty word with us now. As in Soviet times, there was a word “intellectual”.
Are you a pensioner living well? Probably one of them? Not a work pension?
