what does Bellarus dislike?
Belarus is a great country and I am very sympathetic to the "collective farmer" dad. Therefore, for Grudinin!
I used to vote for Putin because there was no one else. For Grudinin!
Of course for Grudinin P.N., I don't see any more worthy ones. I don't trust VTsIOM polls, even as of January 10, 2018, Grudinin gained more than 50% of the votes.
Grudinin western he has billions on his account, it's an enemy like bulk
For Grudinin P.N.! If the government does not change, you will bring it to revolution! In your races you do not understand your native Russian people at all ...
Alexander, you're wrong! Representatives of the "left forces" have been in the government not so long ago. Remember 2008, when the country hovered over an abyss, the left-wing Primakov and Maslyukov took over the government and saved the country. Within six months, industrial production increased by 40 percent. There was no chaos or revolution! As soon as the country moved away from the abyss, Yeltsin quickly removed them. Putin = a good man, but he has already worked out. He surrounded himself with oligarchs and will not break away from them under any circumstances! Therefore, only Grudinin !!!
It is impossible to become the President of Russia 60 days before the elections - you can only be a statistician - the president of 2024 will be the one who enters the race today in 2018
Yes. many have forgotten how they lived in the 90s under Yeltsin.
The salary was not paid, the whole country was mired in alcohol, drugs and banditry.
What was good?
Yes, today it is not easy either, but if a person works, tries, works then he achieves his goals.
Apart from Putin, I do not see anyone worthy, Grudinin still needs to work a little in government structures, and in 6 years maybe I will vote for him.
RUSSIA spavset only PUTIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As they drank at 90, they still drink only then and the work was, and now where all this is now to live has become very expensive, the whole nation is being pressured by these prices;
Type in the search engine the state farm named after Lenin and see with your own eyes what Grudinin achieved. Show at least one agricultural enterprise where the AVERAGE salary is 78,000 rubles. And they have it like that. Show at least one city where the company built a school for its children for 2 billion at its own expense, and the kids go to the kindergarten for 540 million, where the recreation center and all the circles are free, where pensioners are supplied with potatoes and vegetables for free for the whole winter. Where apartments are issued without interest, and young specialists receive it for 30% of the cost, where at the birth of a child, they give an apartment for a room more than it was. SHOW WHERE ???????? and I will vote for Putin.
Margot you are wrong! Putin has been in power for 18 years and what's the point? Education - no, medicine - God forbid to get sick, pensioners are at the last line. A thought creeps in, is it by chance that our president is not an enemy of his people ...?
For 18 years our elected GDP has created only a system of kickbacks and bribery. I tried to participate in the state. procurement so I know what I say. Economic growth is completely zero. Do not look at the Rosstat data, India has gone three steps ahead in terms of growth, and our government is still waiting for the oil to rebound. It is necessary to earn and not introduce new taxes and fees. So if the GDP does not work out there is nothing to leave. And there is nothing to blame someone because of the hillock. What type of Pindos are to blame for everything.
Margot amused with their phrase "RUSSIA spawns only PUTIN" Russia must be saved from Putin, and from people like you
Well, I'm tired of living in this dirty pond! - the crucian carp complains. - And you grab the hook, - the second advised, - and you will immediately get into sour cream ... Only Putin !!!! At the moment there is NO replacement !!! For Grudinin Khodorovsky and STATE DEPARTMENT,
Lyudmila, you see Putin's trough sitting ??????. Another 6 years of collapse, Russia will no longer stand and I personally do not care the State Department, Mandep, even devil, but not Putin.
Grudinin for the presidency !!!
Mr. Seleznev and where did you dig it up, you generally need to be sent over the hill for such data, I have seen a lot in my life, starting with Stalin and ending with Putin, these are two people who strive for Russia to be great, and all your vaunted only finally want to ruin Russia and give it up for plunder, do not hope the people are not so stupid.
