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.
With the current electoral system, the more smart people stay on the couch on Election Day, the easier it is for election commissions. We know this well: you cannot hide an sewn in a sack. Then this team will definitely win: Medvedev, Chubais, Nabiullina, Ivanov, Soloviev, etc. Who benefits from this? Just not to the common people !!!
Sobchak has 6% rzhu I can't!
I talked with employees at work, with my parents, everyone is already retired, except for V.V. they don't even want to hear anyone, tried to campaign for Grudinin P.N. it is useless, how people cannot understand that with the current president there will be a time of stagnation for another 5 years, they have already earned their retirement, and for us that posthumous work will raise the retirement age to 70 and survive as you want !!!
Grudinin - rzhu nimagu. Compared with the dad. Old Man feeds his people thanks to Putin's goodwill to the detriment of the Russians. Grudinin will probably go to Trump for money? Sobchak is vain - she is overlooked by the liberals of our country, so she wants to gain weight from the liberals from Russia abroad, so that later the local Russians into a ram's horn bend (finances from the west, and she gained political weight there) - personal revenge, the interests of Russians are sideways. Grudinin is a project of the same Western liberals a la Khodorkovsky - if you want to go back to the 90s - Forward for nrudinin. Putin is a good brand, because one head is good and two is better. I am traditionally for Zhirik - there should be a jester at the ("king") of power.
Blackmailing the population by returning to the 90s is a losing game, but in other words, your comment is complete nonsense.
Paul, no offense! You do not have enough education, write with grammatical errors. Have you been to Belarus? They have an order that we do not have. In the zomboyaschik they tell you that they are fed at the behest of Putin. Their food will be even better. And Grudinin will not go to Trump. Check out his program - and you will understand why! Zhirik is engaged in the selection of votes from the real candidate Grudinin, as well as from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
Valeria is good at telling real contenders 2 Putin and. Grudinin of the rest is even considered frivolous. Who likes everything. GDP and those who are tired of constant extortions, from poverty, those who hope to change something are for Grudinin. It's simple.
Everyone writes about the poor people dying of hunger? I understand the 90s when they did not pay at almost all enterprises, and instead of salary were given manufactured products, for example, to my mother, porcelain dishes. Hunger Russians go to rest abroad, by the way the planes are overcrowded, they buy cars, apartments, build houses. This (freak) introduced maternity capital, the program for resettlement from dilapidated housing (he received it himself that year), the infrastructure of cities is developing and much more. I disagree with many in his policy, his mantis is especially annoying. I am for stability and a strong president, I am for Putin. What can I say about Gudrin, we already had one collective farmer in power, a corn lover in power ...
You're lying! You are at the trough! The people are begging! Grudinin is a strong president! And you humble yourself! And pack your bags before it's too late!
Che, it seems to me that Grudinin is a sent Cossack! Oh, as it is all pretentious! Although I myself am against Putin.
Reflections for Andrey Valeria Lyuba Alla and others. boriska-drunk appointed Putin as his RECEIVER (shown on central television). Who could not even defeat the racketeer bandits in uniform on the roads (traffic police) in 20 years. I'm not talking about thieves under the law. In Belarus, Old Man managed to restore order and Grudinin will be able to.
I am actually a supporter of Putin V.V. And I think that he has already done a lot for Russia. If you remember, then we have really gone far from the collapse arranged by Boris N. Yeltsin. V.V. Putin raised the destroyed military-industrial complex, re-equipped the army, restored an independent policy in the international arena, and returned Crimea. And the fact that many problems inside the country have not yet been resolved can probably not be blamed only on him. After all, we had and still have a government, State Duma deputies. And also the governors of territorial entities with large states of civil servants, deputies of the Legislative Assembly. This is a bunch of officials. The reality is that most of them do not give a damn about the people, their interests are in one, despite the excessively high salaries, looking at each other, in any way to earn more money through various front companies. And no one hinders them in this matter, not even the president. Terrible impunity. They hold tightly to each other from top to bottom. Of course, this pernicious system of bureaucratic lawlessness originated in the Yeltsin era. Probably, cardinal measures are needed to restructure the entire power structure. Who would have dared to do this? Unfortunately, among the new candidates from the "democratic" forces I do not see individuals of a national scale and worthy rivals for the current president. And I think it's better to preserve what is under Putin V.V. than rely on who knows who and plunge the country into another chaos.
I completely agree with you !!!
Why are our officials, ministers, etc., all bad, Putin alone is good, he leads them! And if he does not cope with his duties, why does he sit there? Yeltsin's time is 18 years after it ended. Ukraine was lost, the Olympics were lost, Siberia to the Chinese, money in offshores, poison on the shelves. The future is vague.
Ahahahhaha kapets, everything was definitely bought by the sternin, fu moderators, 60% for him? * fuck you are funny, no words
P.S. this message to the moderators, sit and read.
No, we will publish ... This vote is launched on a third-party service and the site administration cannot influence it.
What the hell is sternin? Who is this ??? What kind of frenzy gentlemen? It feels like he himself bought this resource, since all the comments are only about him. People are nonsense, he will not do anything for Russia.This crook of your sternin, let him sit on his state farm. Yes, it may be in decline, but why then in 2017 was a record number of crops collected?
Such as you will not explain. Already a thousand times have explained what kind of "harvest" !! This is the harvest according to the reports of the governors. And there are some postscripts !!! Who will check? Putin doesn't give a damn about everything. The main thing for him is PR! There is PR: grain champions. You can also give out that we collected a record amount of oil. Everyone will believe. Who will check!
In general, Putin for another 6 years is the end of the country!
Waste? Yes, there is no waste. It's just that the people are coming out of the hassle. And you and your gentlemen are in a fuss, our President Grudinin!
Why is bread expensive? If you have collected grain records !? Why is gasoline and electricity more expensive than in America? Why are not the thieving ministers and their entourage (Serdyukov, Vasilyeva, etc.) imprisoned? Why is the central bank's interest rate 11%? Thank you with 17% slowed down.
