And where was this Grudinin before, that the majority here stand for him.
Submit the work of a wadi pensioner for consideration by the Duma for compulsory inclusion in the school curriculum!
I was not going to go to the polls at all, because we do not decide anything, but when Pavel Nikolaevich Grudinin appeared, HOPE appeared, hope dies last. Of course, definitely he and only he !!!
Every weekend I drive past the state farm. Lenin's suburbs and always admire that the real owner is here !!! There would be more people like P. Grudinin in the country, and then our country really revived from the poor, poverty! What kind of saint should pray that Grudinin was in the Presidency !!!!
Better Sobchak than GDP! The country is deep, it simply will not stand one more term!
The terrible state of the country under Putin, if his one more term. This in my opinion will be the end of everything…. He has already done everything he could! Stop killing the country! I see Grudinin as a worthy candidate! I think we should vote for him!
It is already difficult to trust someone. But from what is, I still see only Grudinin. True, I still do not know all the candidates, there are new ones for me.

Class !!!! life truth. But .. this is a problem, read a minor, unimportant problem.
Grudinin! Grudinin and only he, but at the expense of Putin, I agree. It's time to give in and give the people a chance to get out of this utopia.
Grudinin is the only production worker. Try to manage (successfully) a state farm. The rest are talkers. It's just a pity, if he is elected to the presidency, who will be in charge of the state farm?
Let him lead the state farm, there is no need to spoil a person's life.
