For PUTIN !!!!!! Other candidates are not suitable for him !!!! Those who praise the pile or even more trenchant sobchachu., None of them was a president, so no need to find fault with the current one .. They will "try" themselves in the role of president, and we will feel the whole country. We need to appreciate what we have. And these candidates are all clowns and liars! For Putin !!!
Dear Uu..h! Have you compared Putin's age with the average life expectancy of the male population in the country? Who will "try" himself as a president after his departure (God forgive me!) During the next presidential term? After all, no one else was president. All for Putin !!! May his days last forever !!
There is no point in commenting on something. An election is a bluff. These gentlemen are the Putin
power and money will not be released from their hands. There will be someone who protects their interests. And this is Putin. The other is not given.
Enough Putin! He is undoubtedly a fine fellow, he raised Russia from his knees ... But! 18 years of theft at the highest levels hinders the development of our country! It would be time to do business in a new way. Grudinin may not be a great politician, but he has the experience of making candy out of G (state farm named after Lenin). And I think we need to give him a chance to do the same with Russia.
You only need to vote for Pavel Nikolaevich Grudinin! The only candidate who will finally bring real order. Another 6 years to endure something and expect something from Putin of his team ??! There is no time and energy, children are growing ... Let Putin continue to engage in foreign policy, but in a different position. This is not enough for the normal life of citizens !!!
only Grudinin. the rest are weak. and Putin is tired of promises
Will the main corrupt official of Russia be deceived again?
Putin, Grudinin. One is being sprinkled with mud and insulted, the other is neither this nor that and only him, without even going into details. But we have 15 presidential candidates on our list, and we say, we swear, we argue only about two. And why not? We can't choose Vladimir Mikhailov, eh? Self-nominated, a serious candidate. Why don't we make the country matriarchal? After all, we had Catherine the first, Catherine the Great, Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter? In other countries: in Germany, Angela Merkel, in India Indira Gandhi, in England a 91-year-old queen who does not think of giving up the crown. Why don't we choose Natalia Lisitsyna as a crane operator? Catherine was the first cook. Or maybe Ekaterina Gordon? But not Ksyusha, she is evil. We need a kind, sincere woman, then the United States will immediately lift the sanctions, and peace will reign in Ukraine. After all, you cannot argue with a woman.
Grudinin started with a lie? It is not true that you crap it. And Putin from the dock is normal? Yes, a delicious state farm for the whole country is better than the KGB cabinet. And the guarantor has repeatedly spoken about the change of power and no double terms. Starting a company with lies is unworthy of a guarantor.
You only need to vote for Putin. there are no real communists now. Grudinin has a sly eye. Disingenuous with his income. Putin is leading the country in the right direction.
Forgot which country Putin got after Yeltsin? There is no money, the gold and foreign exchange fund is empty, the industry has passed into private hands and is destroyed, and there are so many debts that Russia was already ready to be pulled apart to pay off debts, and you say that it is not engaged in domestic politics? But who paid all the debts, filled the gold and foreign exchange reserves, revived the army and the military industry? people seem to have a conscience swam with fat, you should take away and divide everything, except for your womb and well-being, you see nothing, or do not want to see, but your Grudinin will put the country under the USA and profuse everything that has been achieved with such difficulty and we will get Russia again from the time Yeltsin.
Dear Natalya, where was the supreme commander-in-chief Putin, when Serdyukov was breaking up the army and why Serdyukov was not tried - because Putin is not surrendering his own. Tired of Putin's promises, there is no business behind them. Since we do not have the right to elect Father Lukashenko, let's elect our director of the state farm, whose business is well-organized, no matter how the democrats throw mud at him.
Yes. Natalia, Russia can't get out of PUTINA with people like you, it's a pity, it's a pity that we have zombie people in our country. And they refuse to really look at things. Do you think we are living wonderful now? There is no medicine, the whole country is collecting money for operations for children, education is at zero. He revived the army and the police ... the question for what? For your own safety! Wages and pensions are miserable, almost all pensioners work part-time. Utilities tariffs are prohibitive. Many food products are dangerous, they have forgotten what GOST is, hence the growth of oncology in humans. It is dangerous to live in a country where everything is subject to oligarchs!
Natalia ... You are not fooled about the gold and foreign exchange reserve ... You personally saw it before and after Putin, counted it personally ... Who controls it? Is there public control of this proverbial
gold and foreign exchange reserve. How much real gold and other valuables we have, no one will ever tell you, this is a strategic secret of any state in order to bluff and speculate in the markets. Here the United States declares that they have 9000 tons of gold ... But none of the public organizations of the United States itself, and even more so, foreign organizations did not see this gold, did not check for authenticity and did not weigh ... Therefore, all the references of all economists to this gold, etc. all these are artificially created speculative models of the distribution of pieces of paper not supported by either goods, resources, technologies, or knowledge - one global BLUFF ...
