Besides Putin, there is no one to stop looking at. Parade of clowns)) Some limited,
stupid, petty people. Are there really no worthy candidates in all of Russia?
Svetlana, you don't stop looking there
Sveta take a closer look at grudinin read about him you might like
Putin is unlimited, smart and big, just to match you
Yes, Grudinin promises, but the current president has had such promises for 17 years in a row, and what has been fulfilled. And Grudinin is an economic manager and he has much more experience than V.V. Putin in 2000.
Krasnodar for Grudinin P.N.
Grudinin does not promise, he has developed a plan to raise Russia, his own program, and talks about it.
And for the people of his village he did a lot, and that speaks for itself
For a strong business executive, an adequately thinking Pavel Nikolaevich Grudinin! We are full of the promises of the current government! The country is heading for the abyss. Strangled by loan rates, utility rates, crazy prices for everything! The people are in the house and are already settling there!
What Grudinin ??? What kind of h..t is this from a snuffbox ??? Only PUTIN !!! Or have everyone already forgotten who they were under the communists ??? So take history in hand !!!
We were human under the communists, but under today's liberals we became cattle. They themselves do not hide the fact that Putin and his team are liberals. Only Grudinin!
Throughout the history of our country, we have never been so lowered. To the Olympics without a flag, without an anthem ... SHAME !!! We are nobody, our place is a blank-white flag. WE GIVE UP!
Elena! When were you born? Have you lived in a stable working country? Do you know how to be a poor worker today, how to beg for alms for the treatment of a child, where are the villages of Russia, where are our UMNIKI? where is our stabilization fund?
People who believe in Putin, please do not be blind, do not just believe everything that is said on TV, check the information, now you can find a lot on the Internet, get to the bottom of the truth.Look at what has happened over the past 20 years, what has become of health care, how much has the number of hospitals, kindergartens, settlements, etc. decreased. What happens to gasoline prices with the country that is the leader in oil production !!! Ask how they live in the leading countries in oil production! Of course, I understand that our history has taught people to trust everything that is said from the TV, but it is time to understand that the people, represented by the state, should be the owner of the industries dealing with minerals, not a handful of private traders who fraudulently seized state property, but the state, to use the super-profitability of data industries for the general development needs of the state, for its own citizens.
Alex, stop lying! Baburin has never been a member of the Communist Party, this is a well-known fact. Well, if anyone is a coward and a traitor, then this is the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Zyuganov, who fled from the House of Soviets immediately after the announcement of Yeltsin's decree. The blood of the murdered defenders of the House of Soviets had not yet cooled, and Zyuganov had already rushed to participate in the elections to the State Duma for the distillation with Zhirinovsky in order to get warm jobs and a good salary for himself and his entourage, which was given to him. And the act of Zyuganov in the 1996 presidential elections, when he convinced the patriots to vote for him in the presidential elections and defeated Yeltsin, gave the victory to the drunk, receiving 30 pieces of silver in the form of benefits and handouts for himself and his entourage, is akin to the act of Judas. The votes of deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation ratified an agreement with Ukraine signed by the traitor, thief and executioner Chernomyrdin, according to which Russia recognized Ukraine's sovereignty over Crimea. The only State Duma deputy who voted against the ratification of this treaty was Sergei Baburin, who was harassed for this. What did Zyuganov's leadership in the patriotic movement lead to? To a significant decrease in the number of voters for the Communists in the elections. This is thanks to Zyuganov and his entourage, according to the lists of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, criminals and traitors to the Motherland like Voronenkov get to the State Duma. Earlier, according to the lists of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, representatives of YUKOS were elected to the State Duma. Now, Zyuganov slips the Russian patriots with the thieving fist of Grudinin, who was previously in United Russia, who deceived the collective farmers who trusted him, who recruited numerous Tajiks. The goal of Grudinin is not yours, but his personal well-being. People! Open your eyes and come to vote for Sergei Baburin, who will not betray or deceive you!
I agree that the current neoliberal government of Medvedev-Dvorkovich is leading Russia to disaster. But only very naive people can believe that the fist Grudinin, nominated by Zyuganov's entourage, will save Russia from an impending disaster. If Grudinin is such an honest patriot as the Communist Party propagandists portray him, then let him show it now, before the elections. To begin with, let him return to the collective farmers deceived by him their land shares, or at least pay them appropriate compensation, but Grudinin will never do this, the kulak nature will not allow, the toad will strangle him.
Vote for Sergei Baburin, this person has not cheated before and this time will not cheat!
Putin stayed too long in the Kremlin, it is necessary to give way to young politicians, I am for Grudinin for the farmer.
