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.
Even former US ambassador to Moscow McFaul supported Grudinin's candidacy. This is understandable, a person who has offshore accounts and real estate abroad becomes easily manageable from the Washington Regional Committee. Zyuganov came to a head, then the traitor and criminal Voronenkov nominated to the State Duma, and now, the kulak of Grudinin, who robbed the collective farmers, did not even hesitate to take the land from the prisoner of the Nazi concentration camp. It is possible that in the next elections, Zyuganov and his entourage will be nominated as a candidate for Anatoly Chubais or Roman Abramovich. Patriots, do not believe Zyuganov and his team, vote for the Russian patriot Sergei Baburin, who did not rob collective farmers and workers, does not have accounts in offshores and real estate abroad.
90; the population would now dream of living in a robbed sternin state farm. Maybe he will rob the whole country so then we will not envy anyone.
Everyone lived like his collective farmers
Andrey, haven't you been told that you are a fool?
Before grumbling nonsense - one could work hard and find a statement from the former ambassador - there is not a word about Grudinin's support. And - the "former ambassador" is not God knows what kind of bird. Remember how our politicians masturbated on Trump! So what, he became our president of America ???
About the same fakes and everything else that they slipped you to distribute.
"Vote for the Russian patriot Sergei Baburin"
Your Baburin, the same political prostitute as Suraikin, is not visible or audible between the elections, but as elections arise out of nowhere, and they suddenly have money and someone collects their signatures and there are no complaints from the Central Election Commission ... ...
Today these political prostitutes are trying to take votes from Grudinin. It won't work.
It would be better for them to dump, so as not to completely disgrace themselves.
Ah anonymous, anonymous, anonymous! Whose tune are we calling, my dear? This is where Putin rebelled? When did you receive your second yacht? When the minimum wage for us as much as ten thousand gave, driving through a poor country, "mercifully" to you, "friend" and to me ... He has nothing to lose? You are blind, you are deaf, how can you write and even go and give your voice?
Let us stand up with CHEST for RUSSIA! And nationality, the availability of sufficient money is not important, the main thing is that he sees people, those who work honestly, talented children, he will raise the country!
How much is paid for Putin's campaigning on the Internet ???
He is almost a saint according to your comments.
It feels like these people live in another planet, and do not live with ordinary people in the provinces ...
There are mostly Jews on the list and everyone wants to rule Russia.
I live in a village in the Stavrapolskiy region for 10 years we have so many changes I write the worst side without any deception, I think people’s patience bursts with promises alone, such is corruption in no country in the world
Whoever you ask, everyone claims that there is no one else to vote for, besides V.V. When I ask, what will you say in six years, when Putin is already old for the presidency?
They are silent! They do not want to think that although Putin is great, but not for the economy of the country of Russia. Here Trumpuha came and puts things in order in the US economy. There are successes. He is a successful entrepreneur like our Grudinin. People need to be changed in the Kremlin. The time has come.
Today I looked closely at the story about Russia 24! There was a meeting of the organization "Peasant Front" - an interregional public movement for the protection of property and social rights of peasants, which gathers people with different problems !!! Russia 1, Russia 24 presents this fee as a meeting of a whole hall of deceived shareholders and shareholders of the state farm named after Lenin !!! I look at the poster in the hall on the video on pause - it says ZAO Matveevskoe! Shame on corrupt media ... Such a large channel, but it drives jaundice and keeps us for idiots ... ONLY FOR Grudinin I will vote with all my family and friends!
1. In 1992, Marina Salye acted as a permanent representative of the St. Petersburg City Council to the Supreme Soviet of Russia and was the head of the deputy group on the implementation of quotas for raw materials and supplies for barter deliveries of food to the city in January-February by the Foreign Relations Committee under the Mayor of St. Petersburg 1992, conducted under the leadership of the Chairman of the Committee for External Relations of the City Hall of St. Petersburg Vladimir Putin. According to the results of the investigation, then the city budget was damaged by more than $ 100 million. The deputy group of the City Council of St. Petersburg demanded the dismissal of Putin from his post and the initiation of a criminal case. The final report of the group headed by Marina Salye was approved and supported by the decision of the Small Council of the Petrograd Soviet headed by Alexander Belyaev.
CASE JAMMED SOBCHAK !!! Putin with a criminal record could not be president at all.
In the 12th year I voted for him, but every year it gets worse and worse for people.
Everyone will vote for Grudinin (including myself) but Pu will win as always.
We lived with faith for 20 years, waiting for the result. But alas, it did not happen. However, there is still hope and God sent a man. The people praise him knowing him about the economy, his attitude to people, his aspiration, his natural gift, and most importantly even he is supported by astrology, stars. I think this is our last hope. Having lived more than half of our lives with Putin, we have got 40% of the poor in a country where there is everything. And how the neighboring countries live, thieves were thrown, hospitals, schools, beggarly pensions were destroyed. Television is only henchmen of those in power. Grudinin will lead us out of this state - this is our last hope.
Believe in tomorrow, it is not far off. We are the people of Russia and we will WIN!
I systematically go through the list and what do I see? God, what are we different and everything does not seem to need Russia? If all the candidates love their country and wish it prosperity, they have come together to discuss how to improve the life of their people and have chosen a worthy person, and the current candidates think, as it were, to climb the state wall themselves and rule, comforting themselves that he is the best. They talk a lot, but they are of little use. Some have already been in the Duma for several years and that nothing has changed.How did they lie to everyone and to themselves and they lie? The whole world is told that they are fighting with bribes and thieves, and whoever was punished or at least one thief took everything and gave it to orphans, so we don't collect a penny from anyone who can. Is it good?!
Dear candidates, think from the Russian soul how will you help our Russia and its people?
Our president must have such spiritual strength - that it would be enough for all our torn people - to rally them to withstand evil. I wish you health and good luck !!!
I will vote for Grudinin just for the fact that he will put things in order with the migrants, which is quite realistic. The seriousness of his intentions is confirmed by the fact that they tried to prosecute him for extremism, but they lost their teeth.
