Election results, who won

How many polls on the forthcoming elections were not conducted earlier in the network, in fact, the results of these were always sooooooo not at all the same as in the polls. So Putin for the next term is a 146% guarantee.
Putin, from him one soot for people.
Lying himself and all his close entourage.
Grudinin, a worthy president.
Yes, it looks like Western watered technologists have taken up Pasha. This site and comments confirm my words. Who hunts in the 90s, vote for Pasha.
Pro-government lackeys throw mud at Grudinin, which means that he is not theirs. Not theirs - it means - ours. For Grudinin!
A very interesting video: about the current state of affairs in science, and about technologies that are not being promoted in the country. Only for Grudinin. Type in YouTube: The triumph and collapse of Soviet science - How do they steal and what to do ?! Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences - Strebkov D.S.
It is normal that Grudinin is being poured with mud. The oligarchs will not give up power so easily. Let's remember all the previous elections - every time Zyuganov suddenly found accounts, villas in the Canary Islands and connections with Chechen terrorists. After the elections, there is silence, nothing. It's the same with Grudinin. On the other hand, this is good. Once they throw mud at it, it means that he is not theirs. If not theirs, then ours! For Grudinin! And Zyuganov - reshpekt and uvazhuha!
Who if not Putin? Who do you want, Grudinina? Are you completely blind? Yes, it is very difficult for our country now, but it was all happening with our tacit consent. We again want to sit out at home and not go to the polls. Maybe nothing really depends on us, but I'm sure Putin should be given the opportunity to fix everything!
Natalya Borisovna, 18 years old Putin is correcting the situation! The rich get terribly richer, the poor get terribly poorer. There are more than 22 million beggars (40 million). In another 6 years, half will die. No more urine! And you seem to be in office. Afraid to lose. Think not about yourself, but about the people, about the future of your children. Health to you.
For Grudinin! The current government has completely discredited itself.
Is Grudinin an honest man? Ha ha ha !!! Do not tell my slippers) He grabbed the land shares of collective farmers, some robbed collective farmers wrote statements about bringing this "honest man" to criminal liability under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud).And what about trade in Turkish hydroponically grown strawberries, in which the entire periodic table is under the Russian brand, and the money is offshore? This is also evidence of his honesty ?!) Moreover, speaking on TV, Grudinin agreed to justify the Russian oligarchs who keep their money offshore. If this goes on, then the Communist Party of the Russian Federation will have to be renamed from the Communist Party to the Kulak Party of the Russian Federation. However, who else could G.A. Zyuganov and his entourage nominate?
We live in a funny country. Making funny money. And the Great and Terrible laughing at us turned us into a western colony. Why the presidency if our money is controlled by the Central Bank, which is not under its control. We are all tax-paying slaves. And they, who annually triple their income with the permission of the President, are exempt from the main tax that everyone pays - VAT. Banks do not pay VAT. and everyone pretends that nothing is happening. And this is legalized theft from its people. Hurray for Nabiulina, an American agent. With her submission, our billions are stolen under the auspices of the Great and Terrible.
Aha! Here in the news - for 2017 the banking sector received a net profit of 760 million USD !!! THIS IS OUR BLOODY MONEY - HUGE %% on loans, CRAZY COMMISSION for transferring and paying for housing and communal services and so on, ripping off a small business for maintaining a bank account, and so on. And the government also supports the banking industry in the person of savings! They are all small !!!
Before Grudinin, I really saw no alternative to Putin, except for Titov. Now my candidate is Grudinin.
