For Grudinin! Down with the power of oligarchic capital! Nationalize the Central Bank - a channel for exporting our wealth beyond the cordon!
We vote for Grudinin! Down with the power of oligarchic capital! Nationalization of the Central Bank - a channel for the withdrawal of wealth beyond the cordon
The key "I think", but really? Do you at least find out about the state of affairs in that collective farm. Grudinin the oligarch, when did the oligarchs live by the aspirations of the people?
First, find out the meaning of the word "oligarch" before swinging it right and left. The oligarch is more related to people who are already in power. And Grudinin is not yet power. So do not put yourself in the ridiculous position of a fool who does not know the meaning of words.
Go and see Nadia.
why raise police salaries?
Zhirinovsky and only him!
Don't worry, it doesn't go away.
Putin should become president, and Grudinin instead of Medvedev…. It will be right…
Does the election allow you to do this?
What kind of master is Grudinin? How and with what funds he was able to build a school, kindergartens, housing. This is what you need to have a farm, or on one strawberry all these benefits. No matter how such an owner leases the whole of Russia, then we will live richly and happily. Vote for Grudinin, prove to the Ukrainians that they are not the only horses.
Are you completely stupid, you already have owners ....?!
There is a reportage with him, he also raises funds by selling apartments, or rather, developers are building well, and the corresponding percentage goes to the benefit of this incomparable area. If you haven't been there, visit. This is a fairytale. But it would be nice for him, Grudinin, to be prime minister, for the household, and the president is only Putin!
I am sure that you live in a big city in the central part of the Russian Federation. The rest of Russia is dying of poverty. Look at how federal officials are fattening. It's just a shame. The difference in living standards in Moscow and in other regions is enormous. Is this a good president ?! He thinks only about his own welfare and foreign policy. Let all his people die, he will do nothing. Poor 8000 pensioners make ends meet. Well done! With such a standard of living, the country cannot be called GREAT! A shame! One hope for Grudinin, if Putin again is emigration. There is nothing else left.
The choice of a candidate for the top echelon is usually clear.But this is not a reason to give up. After all, on March 18, we will elect not only the president ... the elections of any ZSK-governors-deputies are usually urged on to this event. And here your vote will really matter. Therefore, you cannot miss in any way. Do not fill your head with agitation, such as "declare a boycott" and it will be better. Missing votes will be found, "unvoted check marks" will go to whom it is clear to. But if the percentage distribution is different. We are not a subsidized southern republic.
with all the will, Putin can not do anything good for the people because he is a puppet, I am for Grudinin !!!
