What kind of army did Putin create? I have not seen it. Whom did he lift from his knees? Himself. What economy did he raise? I don't see either. The official is fattening, the state employee is small by little lives. And the hard worker, that is, the people, survives even with a job. That is, he works for food. Everyone is in debt on loans for communal services on taxes. Terrible bureaucracy, lies, collapse. Poverty, unemployment. Illiteracy, youth have been dull in 20 years. there are no hospitals, no kindergartens. There are no roads. Yes, we shit on rails from 70-year-old railway cars. There is no gas, gasoline becomes unaffordable. The forest is cut with axes. on but technology ё ... thief Let’s for Putin ... .. It will not be worse, it’s just nowhere worse. Even 10 people will vote for Putin, he will be president. Elections are decreed.
Sergey I am a pensioner and I agree with you 200%. I will vote only for Grudinin.
Sergei, I completely agree with you. I will vote only for Grudinin. I have worked hard all my life and the result is minimal and how to live?
Grudinin is an honest and decent person! Grudinin is our president!
Grudinin and that's it. Enough!
Crane operator ... Well, they waited. Now, every cook will be able to run the state.
Since when do you remember Russia? Name the name of the king, head, emperor ... who would be pleased with the people! There was no such thing.
And don't whine. Appreciate and cherish what you have today. You can get worn out. But you need to stand for Russia, for unity. And today this is especially true.
This man is Stalin. They were ready to give and give their lives for him, and when they buried him, the whole country cried
And there is also a crane operator - a presidential candidate. So maybe we'll vote for her? Or for Billionaires like Poroshenko. Tired of living in a stable country, I want the Ukrainian Maidan. So this is Grudinin.
Is his attitude to the main rival Grudinin worthy of the president? Lies are pouring in streams, persecuting the media at all meetings, And on the body of the screens only sun-faced And our * guarantor * has repeatedly spoken about the inadmissibility of a third term. He promised a lot, but which of the promises did he fulfill? Very unworthy behavior and lies do not honor him The change of power is needed and I am for Grudinin
How interesting everything is! All together began to throw mud at Grudinin, is he really so dangerous for them? I am still for Grudinin. And that is not so and it is not so. Not so said, not so answered. Putin often just grins and does not care. Put the people on their knees and nothing, and so it will come down.
He's a swindler with a LARGE "J". What they write about his alleged successes in raising Lenin's state farm is a bluff !!! The land healed from the peasants, leased it out for the construction of offices and shopping and entertainment complexes, that's all his "merit". I do not work for him workers of the state farm, but Tajiks, and even then during the strawberry harvesting season. He didn’t do anything good to anyone.
I would like to answer you Natalia. The fact that the "Darkest" pulled the Country out of the chaos into which Russia was driven Her "Yeltsin's young reformers" Honor and Praise Him !!!!! Revived our Army and Navy. The country stopped shaking like a fever. Probably I "got drunk". I `m a pensioner. Experience..32 years (only 1-2 grid) of the North 20 years. Profession "Mobile power plant operator -6th grade." Salary. For recent years ... 42000 rubles per month, ie 14t.r tariff 50% Northern 0.7% RK starshinskie. premium, etc. And what is -56 degrees I know not by hearsay. That is, I belonged to the category of "Highly Qualified Specialist" and served drillers in the Tyumen North. 6 KV supply to the rig. And the kindergarten teacher will receive ... 50,000 rubles from a candidate for President of Russia. And so the salary is up to 78 tr. And I am glad for them. God grant that in Russia everyone would live well. Now ask yourself a question. Kondidats for President …… 15 (fifteen) People. And they "wet" one Grudinin ?????????? I emphasize I'm not against Vladimir Vladimirovich He is the recognized Leader of the Country. I am against ... ..Chubais.Gref .. Nabiulina Siluanov, Oreshkin Shuvalov and tkim like them. Recently, Kudrin suggested .... The retirement age to be increased to 65 years (who will live. I am 59 and more than half of my peers have already left) personal income tax -15%. Somehow like this. I apologize for the verbosity. God bless you!
The recognized leader with an inflated rating of 83% lifted the country to its feet and bent cancer. They lived to the point that the athletes of the great country were barely allowed to the Olympic Games and not under their national flag. Even North Korea will do its part. This is just one example of how people are wiping their feet about Russia thanks to its strong leader. And with regards to the internal policy in the country, nothing is done by the sovereign people who regularly receive considerable salaries until a petition is personally submitted to the king-father on a straight line, if you're lucky. And the results of the Serdyukov-Vasilyeva trial are a huge slap in the face of the entire Russian people. Examples can be cited indefinitely, but the main thing is that there will be no changes as long as the recognized leader is in power.
Obviously, the data of Tsik are fake, you can't ask everyone for Grudinin P.N. He is our president!
Of course the fake %% at all these government offices !!! Now declare like 83% for Pu, after the elections it will be easier to declare 82! What if they now tell the truth that 20% is for PU, then how to draw 80 ???
