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.
If you read the reviews from different sites, you can see that 70% of the reviews are against Putin, but no one cares about that, everyone has long decided for us at least vote or not.
You cannot be so irresponsible to the fate of your children and country! It doesn't matter who you want to vote for or not. The choice must be made! And when the majority of citizens make their choice ... then it will be possible to talk about something. It is necessary to prevent electoral fraud. Come, take part, watch!
Grudinin is a puppet.
If Putin was engaged in the country's internal affairs, as well as foreign affairs, then one could vote for him ... And so for Grudinin.
what are the external affairs of the gdp ?????
Tired of enduring power theft and smirks !! It's time to change the power! For Grudinin!
Of course, only Grudinin, well, it's time for Volodya to rest - at his age they don't go to the presidency
GDP - How Much Does Power Have? 18 years. Living with him is worse and worse every year!
If there is GDP, then GDP will send me money for the coffin, otherwise I live on 11,000 rubles. pensions were added - 390 rubles, it was 10,000 rubles - of which 50% is taken for debts (5,000 rubles) the remainder of the rent (6,800 rubles)
LIVE!
All his life he worked for the state, how many taxes he paid in 40 years in the Pension Fund, and the pension was accrued
RUB 10,000 since , 0.01% was not enough to normal.
It is only abroad that the pessioners begin to LIVE !, and here DIE!
If a person sincerely does not understand that all his activities lead to destruction, then this is insanity. And if he understands and continues to do, then this is sabotage.
How tired of this constant lie !!!! There can be no such rating for Putin
Yes, at least for whom you will vote - Putin will win, we have elections for accountability, for show, and the winner is always ready, so whether or not I will go to the polls, everything is predetermined and it is known - Putin
Yes, it is clear that this is all just for show, window dressing for the rest of the world. On all sites, Grudinin is in the lead in voting, and only Levada and VTsIOM convince everyone that Putin has a stable rate of 60 to 80%. As they wrote somewhere, this year there will be two significant events without the participation of Russians - the presidential elections and the Olympics. The VVP team will not let anyone else win the elections and destroy the vertical created for years with its feeders.
Why 101%.
How can there be 81% for Putin! And for Grudinin 7%. If only on this site 80% of messages are for Grudinin
Where does your Grudinin get millions abroad and he also takes gifts in millions.
Where did your billions come from abroad?
his official salary is 20 million, he doesn't have to steal. There is no better candidate at the moment.
