Not Putin, guys, not him!
What the hell is Grudinin? Such Grudinins “ruled” the country for 70 years, and all promised a “bright future” and “building communism”. But in reality there was a general shortage of the most basic goods and kilometer-long queues in empty stores. Is that what you dream about, idiots? Again, "return" the scoop, cards, coupons and sweet promises of scum communists? The people have no brains at all, since history teaches nothing
Rus, and before talking about coupons and cards, you would read when these cards were canceled after the war in the USSR and when in other countries. And when coupons appeared again, perhaps in the notorious 90s. And they wondered if everything was so bad under the “scum communists”. Perhaps Grudinin will succeed in what the GDP did not. Whether he is a communist or not is the tenth thing.
The country was ruled not by Grudinin, but by traitors to the people such as Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Chubais. Gnawed at the country from the inside, American agents. Then it was inherited by Putin, Medvedev, Zuckenberg and other Dimons. They seized all the property of the people. Soon the price of a graveyard space will be equal to a used Boeing. Chase everyone with a filthy broom.
I agree poverty, we are dying, people are poisoned with food with additives, unemployment, values are lost, we are divided into poor and rich, factories are plundered, collective farms are abandoned, it is impossible to keep a farm, etc. but look who is aiming for president, among them there are no decent people, fools, fools and thieves. Let him be Putin already. Nobody wants to raise us, so let everything be as it is, no need to beg you worse.
How does GDP take part in elections? after all, the constitution says about a maximum of 2 terms, and that is the edition, there was 1 ...
God sent Grudinin to protect the Russian people!
Grudinin has been a long-known man who has been given hothouse conditions, he is a man-project for one purpose - to remove Putin. When a dog is beaten with a stick, it gets angry at the stick and bites it, you are like animals, you do not see further than the stick with which you are beaten.
Grudinin is confident that he will make Russia a legal state. Today, the entire prosecutor's office, courts of all stripes, KKS and VKKS have structured their work like “Kushchevsky Tsarkov.It is unrealistic to achieve the truth. And the same "kings" sit in the Reception of the President and all our complaints to the Guarantor of the Constitution are sent not to the officials of the Administration, but to those we are complaining about. On December 28, 2016, with his FKZ No. 11, Putin forbade all these "kings" to ignore the interpretation of the law of the RF Constitutional Court and ordered all of them to unconditionally interpret the law as interpreted by the RF Constitutional Court. However, when I complain to the Reception Room about the lawlessness and with a specific definition of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the entire Presidential Administration and advisers behave like an ostrich with its head in the sand. Who needs such a democracy. For many citizens, like me, the whole judicial hell ends with the receipt of an ordinary letter from Nechayev, with which he does not admit us to justice. This situation was only under Pinochet in Chile. These kings turned us into cattle.
So many years of lying and mocking attitude towards the people and again the press shields the GDP, and after reading the comments and there was hope, I am not the only one, Grudinin, you and I.
people are duped by the policy of GDP.
Grudinin forward Russia is with you !!!!
Everyone understands, even without any economic basics, how we lived even 10 years ago and how we live now — everything is worse and worse! ?? So something is wrong ??? Think about it ??
The change of power is how we need it, this did not justify the trust, although it did not vote either for the GDP or for Medvedev, it was all decided without us.
We need a simple and competent business manager such as - Grudinin A good owner has order in the house, and the cattle are fed and examined !!! It's bad that all the Parties are funding the budget of the Russian Federation, so draw your own conclusions? !!
You must vote if you still want to defend your rights.
Since we were deprived of articles from voting against everyone, just use your ballot without giving the right to use it to another
Somehow like this!!
We started to live worse ??? Are you seriously??? There has been no inflation for a long time ??? Bread is not worth a few thousand for a loaf ???
I lived alone at that time ??? I alone cooked oat cutlets for children ???
The correct statement sounded once on the air of the radio: Who to vote for ... .. All toadstools from one clearing ...
Putin is a professional president!
But, even with a very good professional, when "professional burnout" occurs for a long time in the same place, this is a real diagnosis!
Therefore, we need turnover in positions. And the time has come for a good master. And what label he has - "communist", "socialist", "anarchist", "monarchist", "capitalist", "chauvinist", "extremist", "imperialist" - you can call it whatever you like, as long as everything remains as it is.
Let's choose a good host! I think GRUDININ is a good owner!
