Election results, who won
Composition of the Central Election Commission (CEC)

The seventh composition of the election commission will operate from 2016 to 2021. It has 15 permanent members.
Retiga Grudinin got scared and gave the command to all federal TV channels to drown him. As always. If they are drowning, then the right man. It's only the beginning. Hold on Pavel Nikolaevich.
I agree. Even the rating was drawn on other sites by administrators under the direction of the top And here is really a real rating, because it is interactive. Anyone came in and clicked on their choice.
I didn’t find my comments that I wrote two days ago. I’ll try again. I have long drawn conclusions about our government and I don’t expect anything good from them for ordinary workers, who I am. I will vote for Grudinin, for changes!
MOSCOW, ONLY FOR GRUDININA !! 18 years of impoverishment of the people and the oligarchy is enough to endure this !!!!!
The country is becoming impoverished before our eyes I live in the south near the sea in a city with 350 thousand population port to the city you go out reality horrified roads are broken all infrastructure is barely breathing you look at people like homeless people dressed in cheap China angry faces what to say about the hinterland. Horror.
I have never voted for Putin, but this year I will. Better stability than no one knows what. And I don't know who Grudinin is.
So find out. Read it, watch the videos. And then from the bay flounders, herax - and I will not vote for him.
the worm asks his father, dad why does it smell so bad around, we live in manure, dad answers, for that it is stable
Watch the 20 Steps program and you will understand. Pavel Grudinin raised the state farm to the highest level, where employees receive an average of 78 thousand rubles. per month, built an infrastructure with free treatment and education and much more. The inhabitants of this village have more than the inhabitants of the metropolis. Anyone would like to work on such a state farm. All this can be implemented in all regions. It is his team that wants to realize and restore social equality.
You are right, Grudinin does not really promise, he does. For example, he took the land from a former prisoner of a fascist concentration camp and his hand did not flinch, he is a fist. Zyuganov and his comrades have sunk to the handle. If this goes on, it is possible that in the next presidential elections, the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation will nominate Anatoly Chubais as its candidate. His methods with Grudinin are similar, only Chubais is more abruptly and slicker.
You can immediately see Putinoid trolls by outright lies and slander against Grudinin, and you are exactly that. You try in vain, troll, thank God, now there is the Internet and we know the truth, so your lies will not work. Say hello to the kindersurprise, who is in prison for the default that he arranged for the people ..
Andrey, and you repeat yourself, do you get paid for every injection of lies?
Where did your "leader" invest all these years, in the Zaryadye park? So, these 14 billion rubles, the half-year budget of such cities with a population of one million as Novosibirsk or Yekaterinburg, and why did he not invest all these “fat” years outside the Moscow Ring Road, but drove them to foreign banks and shoved them into the pockets of his friends? That is why he is afraid of debates like fire, because he has nothing to say to his people.
Having built his corrupt "vertical of power", Vladimir Vladimirovich recently blamed 140 million Russians for all the troubles. What bastards we are, we plundered all of Russia, and we still don't want to vote for V.V. Putin.
No, there is no need to blame us, it is we who have to constantly extinguish the colossal appetites of your "vertical" in the form of taxes. As the appetite grows, so do taxes.
I am now balancing between Grudinin and Sobchak, rather Grudinin, unless of course he is such a chatterbox as VVP.
My mother worked for 44 years, the pension is 9 thousand, what the fuck is Putin ???
Sick people who follow Putin.
and my generally 7500, what kind of h ... m Putin !?
On March 18, I will vote for Pavel Grudinin. His program reflects my interests and the interests of the majority of the country's population. If the majority of citizens come to the polling stations and vote, then Grudinin will become the President and life in the country for the majority of citizens will begin to change for the better.
