Election results, who won

I saw such Grudinins who in the 90s became millionaires and the country and the army collapsed and everything that could be ruined in their favor. Under Putin, at least we again become proud of ourselves. Yes, economic issues are full of failures, but honestly, for example, I think that there is no replacement for Putin yet.
And let's vote for Sobchak the whole country will become "House 2"
What is the hope for promises and all
I don't believe all these businessmen.
Maybe it is necessary to change, but for example I do not see a worthy replacement.
Only with Grudinin Russia has a future !!!!
Tired of the mockery on the part of those in power, there is only a worsening of the condition of citizens in social terms. No one is in poverty and development, we live one day. It's time to change the crooks and thieves who have grabbed the power with ticks. For Grudinin P.N. I want to go home to the USSR again.
In the ass he will lead you, not in the USSR.
Certainly not in the USSR, but in a COUNTRY with adequate power. Which does not "plunder" the country, but works for the country and its people.
“…. Grudinin promises exit from the WTO and controlled by the Central Bank ... "
To promise is not to marry. Trump also promised a lot, right up to the investigation of the 9/11 scam.
What crazy statistics. Grudinin threw his workers. Kinet and stronu
1. When they say
that Grudinin is an oligarch, ask: “Why is he not on the list
Forbes? " 2. When they say that Grudinin is cheating with foreign accounts,
ask: “Why didn't the CEC remove him from the elections and is not going to
take off?". 3. When they say that Grudinin deceived his state farmers
and took away their shares, ask: “Why did the deceived shareholders wake up
just now before the elections and where have they been all these 20 years? "
and also “Why is it not heard anywhere about the holders of vouchers who were deceived
Chubais and Abramovich? " For Grudinin!
Basil! You are talking nonsense. Do you know at least one of his workers? Ask, then speak! And I know them and envy them !!!
YOUR VV You have long been thrown by the entire People of Russia.
Are you one of his workers? Where does the information about "threw" come from?
Are you writing all the nasty things about Grudinin? You all believe the Kremlin's chatty propaganda against Grudinin Grudinin is our President!
For Grudinin !!! And his program !!! For the changes in life and I hope for the better !!!!
I am for Grudinin! For a change! For the bright future of the country and your children! Tired of lies and corruption! There is no justice! The system built in 18 years is rotten through and through!
Since 2001, Putin has promised to nail down fuel prices, so what !? but the fact that diesel in Rostov went up in price literally yesterday (where Putin's promise to talk says yes only we listen to him, and they don't give a damn about us and on Putin)! yes then it's time to move on but not with Putin. I do not argue and understand that horseradish radish is not sweeter. You are sane fellow citizens of my and your country, are you not tired of picking up those little crumbs that are from the table of Putin's rule !? I'm tired and don't see any prospects in my 36 years, how to bend over for an average salary of 22,000 rubles. Putin may be a good person, but as a leader you can say bad things about him. those promises that he made none of them are not fulfilled. In general, I vote for Pavel Nikolayevich Gruzinin, and then we'll figure it out, time will tell ... ..
All these deceitful media throw mud at Grudinin. and not casual. But the evidence is 0. (zero) And it's high time for everyone to understand. That Putin's promises will remain promises. Nobody will do anything here. Because all this time no one did anything with him. I wish he would have put things in order for 17 years, and not spread corruption and theft around him. I am for change. For Grudinin. The system built by Putin is so rotten. That corrupt officials reject corruption laws. And they endow themselves with new rights and raise their own salaries. And new taxes and levies are being introduced for us. I am for Change!
