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.
I'm not campaigning for anyone. Just think carefully ... with such mismanagement in six years it will be too late to change something ... the Chinese will "reach" almost to the Urals, and then what ???
Putin with his administrative resources cannot be defeated by Grudinin, but we need to help him get the 2nd place and the prime minister's chair. Enough to manage the production of various lawyers and armchair "scientists".
Wrong, you can win, there would be a desire. In 2015, when I read the comments on various resources for the truckers' strike, I just went nuts, there was practically nowhere for people to write that the government got it, that capitalism got it, that the system itself was wrong and it urgently needed to be changed to a socialist one. Usually it was limited to the fact that there are some problems in the country that some segments of the population are unhappy with. But only two years have passed, and now very often I come across comments on the topic that it would be nice to change the current state of affairs, obviously, for something closer to the people and more just. So there is progress and it is clearly visible, no matter how hard the Kremlin propaganda tries. But these thoughts about the "prime minister's chair" are all meaningless, tk. the authorities need to be changed immediately and fundamentally, and those who are now sucked at the trough on trial, the nationalization of industry and resources, the closure of borders from foreign "partners", import only what there is no way to produce in the country (and you can count this on a finger) ...
This will never happen. Today they express two main opposite points of view on the methods of managing the country's economy.
Watch the film Grigory Yavlinsky Power Strike and you will understand who is a federal politician. Grigory Yavlinsky twice refused the vice-premiership because of the divergence in Yeltsin's policy, this is an act, during Nordost he took children out of the center, during the Chechen war he offered himself for our soldiers, took out captured soldiers and coffins and was not a hero. The eldest son's fingers were chopped off by political competitors, and he is a pionist. In Soviet times, the KGB kept 9 months in an infectious diseases hospital for predicting the collapse of the USSR. The world recognizes him as an international policy. And if you choose Putin or Grudinin, we will have another Olympiad and a slide towards North Korea. One only hope - GRIGORY YAVLINSKY.Grudinin is my colleague, only he has less success than me and I did not agree to support and join the United Russia.
Tired of rotten meat, I want something new. For twenty years or so, not being able to do anything good is just a shame. These guys no matter how sit down - there will be no sense. It's time for them to go to the dustbin of history, to the dustbin, I think this is their well-deserved reward. They can't even write a program to get the country out of the crisis - they lack intelligence. Only Grudinin and those who come with him have a program, and the best personnel are there too. So there is no alternative: either we continue to remain in the shit, or we crawl out of it with Pavel Grudinin and the left bloc.
And what did you do good? Sit and wait for someone to do something ... And then Grudinin, Grudinin, Grudinin-wow-wow-wow. You won't wait! Only Putin!
Everything is already a foregone conclusion! V.Putin !!!
Long live!!!!
And you mutter-) !!
Only Grudinin! Tired of the lies and the impoverished life put on survival in such a richest country like Russia, when there was even a curtain, even after the Second World War everyone lived ate drank everything developed and received apartments for free! And now there is no money anywhere and for anything, only they have enough money for yachts! mean people! GRUDININ SAVE RUSSIA! SAVE US! We are drowning!
UUURRRAAA !! V.V., Putin will continue to lead the country for the better! Lord, save our Head of the Russian Federation, give him strength and health !!! We killed our country, our Motherland, our mentality ourselves! We are the people, because we always wanted change ... we forgot that the best is the enemy of the good .. Look what is happening in Europe, what their children are taught !! I am 33 years old, but as long as Putin is for Russia, I am not afraid for the children !! We already have children who have seen enough of American schoolchildren, go and embody what they saw, because they became their idols (.. and who is to blame ?? Putin? No! We are to blame, because we do not instill true values, patriotism, respect, kindness ... now only who, which is cooler in high esteem (((.. Our dissatisfied and insolent people lacks such as Stalin, when Power was considered power, and there was order ... do not anger God, otherwise we will wait for the arrival of a tyrant and dictator .. And let's do not forget that the Great Russian Empire, with its gold reserves, was destroyed by the Communists ((- we are people who wanted changes ((
Of all your mental diarrhea, there is only one successful thought about Stalin. It is he who is not enough to send everyone who has been selling the country since 91 years old to cut timber and to uranium mines.
what is the best in kindergarten money give to school give to institute pay work no i get 20-25 thousand in the north 50% of the north 40% take away the north and the amount will remain and 25 years of experience around corruption bribery I'm ashamed of the current country in which the president can't do anything with it
Putin promises a lot, but he succeeds only in manual control. The government does not obey him. Why does he keep Medvedev and his entire team if this team does not fulfill the presidential decrees? This situation makes you wonder. Let him give power to another, it's time to take care of the grandchildren. I am personally for Grudinin.
Do you have reliable information about Putin's grandchildren? About children, wife? Anyone from his clan-tribe? He is such an honest and transparent person that he hides any information about his family. He's probably afraid of something ... And who should he keep, if not a bear, with someone else he needs to change places, or again he will have to amend the constitution and set the term of office not for 6 years, but for example 20 years. It's time not to think here, but to wake up at last ... from the great-grandparents of TVshnoy.
I am against punishment with a belt by a ruddy lawyer, also against big-nosed hysterics and sucking liberals. A strong country is a strong economy, but not a high-speed rocket. Debts must not only be repaid, but also theirs must be claimed back. If there is a strong economy, there will be missiles. By the way, the economy has grown due to savings by working people, but not by an increase in production. And agricultural fields are overgrown with birches. Oh trouble ... ..And finally, the question is, why do we need so many RAS academicians in the country? They will continue to study bosons, mesons and when the world was created? Maybe something useful will come up with?
Only for Grudinin.
The person behind whom is a really good, moral team!
