Election results, who won

I respect Putin, he did a lot, but it became very difficult for the people to live, all enterprises in our district were closed, there is no work, young people drink too much, something needs to be changed, this cannot continue. Grudinin, most likely, is the chance that will help restore stability and faith in the future to the people.
Putin is the same Chubais, only tsynichny, cunning and izvorotlivy.Lyudi, come to your senses this gang should be driven from power.
Alyosha, let's invite Poroshenko. Then everything will be fine.

Correctly. The GDP on its own could not have stayed in power for so long, it is supported by its clique, which is one with it. The clique won't give up power just like that, one can only hope that it will destroy itself: their children consider themselves celestials who can do anything, but because of this they begin to destroy themselves. After the death of the “fathers”, the “children” cannot stay in power. It's just too long to wait. Our salvation will be "protest voting" - but the authorities will not allow a second round. But for Russia now it would be salvation to choose one “protest” candidate, no matter which of the registered ones. The same Sobchak can become such a candidate. After all, Zhirinovsky came out in the same way in the first elections. A large number of candidates will be a salvation for VVP - the protest forces will not unite. In my opinion, that is what is important. so that in the first round they do not "make" a victory for Putin.
Grudinin Veram will remember everyone)))
Better Sobchak the whole country will be Dom2
But Father-Belarus was also the chairman of the collective farm. The people live better than us and their opportunities are 1000 times less than those of Putin. There is no oil, gas or other minerals. There is no corruption and no oligarchs. So think for yourself decide for yourself what you have or sit in poverty.
Batka has a Belarusian country a little smaller than ours, approximately like our region. So it's one thing to rule Russia, and another thing to do less
I am for Grudinin. Putin hasn't done anything in 18 years. As for the dad, he is more likely a stepfather, I myself am from Belarus, so the people do not live there, but very much survive. And the merit of Lukashenka is only that he can beg your tsar for a handout, drove the country into debt.If you evaluate how people live in Belarus looking out of the car window, when you go to a casino in Minsk to spend honestly earned money, then it is clear what kind of wow you are. This site judging by the comments is all of it.
I listened to Grudinin's sweet speeches! How good it is on his farm! Let him manage his collective farm! The fact that he wants to make a graduation in taxes says a lot: does it mean that a bummer will live happily ever after on the% of workers earned? What is this nonsense? Why, if I earned more, should I pay more? Again? Take away from the rich and give to the poor? Yes, let them start moving! Don't whine!
I agree that there are many shortcomings and problems in the country. But Putin, unfortunately, cannot be torn. Yes, these years he paid more attention to foreign policy, because the situation demanded that, now after Russia took the leading position, it is possible to restore order inside. And no one else can handle it better. Well, at least it won't make it any worse. And before judging, it would be better for everyone to look at themselves, to put things in order for a start in their family: do you all live in peace and harmony with your relatives, neighbors, colleagues? The same!
Get your life in order to begin with, and realize that running a large multinational country like Russia is not easy. I am a woman, a mother of two children. 15 years of experience as a leader. last year own business. And I do not want to! Share your honestly earned money with quacks! I am for Putin!
Calm down, Valeria, if Grudinin begins to implement his program, our oligarchs will kill him. Putin knows this and does not go where it is necessary. Progressive tax can be considered as mandatory patronage ..? You want your country good, right? Or to sit on my grandmothers all my life?
Share. You can't go anywhere. Worldwide progressive tax scale.
Valeria, you are probably exempt from paying taxes, since you still have money left ???
For some reason, at first everything is correct - first sort out your family, and then get involved in politics. So Putin, after all, had to deal with his country over the years, improve the life of his people. And if he didn't, he climbed up to teach them to the neighbors. And all the achievements in foreign policy - the attitude towards Russia from the whole world - are trampled into the mud (sanctions, Olympics, etc.)
So the people are so lazy, and you are such a rich workaholic !!! Only this is all so shaky, how many people like you have gone bankrupt and become just as poor and lazy. And by the way, under Putin. I will upset you, Vera, you are nothing better than others. It just exists now, but tomorrow it may not be. Only Grudinin !!!
I would agree with you on everything, but this is not about you, small entrepreneurs who work relatively honestly and somehow pay taxes. The point is in our big businessmen, for the most part, creating their own business on scams with the resale of raw materials, seized for no reason in the Yeltsin era. This is pure crime, robbing the country. who massively prefers to hide their income in avshora. These are officials of various government agencies who set their own salaries at their own discretion, calculated in hundreds of thousands of rubles. It's not about idlers, as you put it, but about the fact that there is no normal work there, far from Moscow, where most of the population, of a huge country, lives. The ceiling is 15 thousand, for a young man, this is not normal. This is the main problem of dissatisfaction with the authorities.
Grudinin will win! And you bring down the hardworking people from the country before it's too late! The lazy people have made their choice!
Stepan, I completely agree with you! She is clearly not a nurse or a kindergarten teacher somewhere in the region.
A businessman is the one who produces, and if you are the same businessman like half of the country in one place bought cheaper in another and sold at a higher price, then you are a banal speculator making money on the backs of the people. And you also hire people, pay a tiny bit and do not follow the labor code, but call yourself such a big word Businessman
After reading your comments (for and against) the candidates for the presidency, the choice is yours, who will be able to lift our already impoverished people (businessmen-aligarchs) from their knees, no, restore lost agriculture, restore the extraction of natural resources that is monopolized by heavy and light industries, remove bribes power structures
Grudinin will return all good things to Russia? !!! Sorry, but this is complete nonsense! It will not return anything, it will only add problems. An unprincipled kulak, without firm political convictions, formerly in United Russia, trying to go to Zhirinovsky, and now nominated by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, but afraid to become a member of this party, since he never was and never will be a real communist. It's a shame for the communists, who allowed Zyuganov and his opportunist entourage to turn the Communist Party of the Russian Federation into a party of political impotent. Was it really impossible to nominate a real communist ?! Or those in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation no longer exist ?!
How do you know what will return and what will not? You take Putin's word for it, why not take Grudinin's word then? And what about the oligarchs, so with such a G..no system like in the Russian Federation, whoever is not an oligarch from the top, let him throw a stone first! We have already seen Putin's program, medicine in private hands, housing and communal services in private hands, the logic is simple - to shift everything onto the shoulders of the people, not in a day or a year, of course, but the trend is more than obvious. At least Grudinin has promises on a progressive tax scale, and Putin has officially said long ago that the flat scale suits them, so there will be no progress from him in the right direction in 150 years.
For the entire reign they sold the whole country. For P.N. Grudinin. For restoration For a decent life for us and our children, grandchildren. For our state and not an appendage to the oligarchs and the West.
Hello to everyone who reads for our children, we must take care of ourselves if the children are given to the authorities to raise the children of the people and their children will be brought up by the authorities, and the rest of them need a modern approach.
