Mutina with Pedvedev - volunteers in Syria.
I also very much believe in Grudinin and I am sure that he will take care of his people better than Putin, but for several years, and then I think how he will fill his feed with money, you will immediately forget about your people, so we have only one way out of friends. this situation - Grudinin. Please friends vote for Grudinin, I am sure that he will change Russia for the better !!!
I'm for Zhirinovsky
Elena, you are great and go to hell. I even really wanted to get to know.
We need changes in the country, and urgently. It is impossible to live the way we do, in a country where capital, officials and corruption rule, where laws are not followed. The only hope is Grudinin.
And yet, it is necessary to change presidents more often so that the president leads the country for no more than two terms, then the main officials and their subordinates will change along with the president. And there will be much less corruption in the country.
Indeed, the ‘United Russia’ stayed too long. Like the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the years of socialism, a rigid vertical, placed its people everywhere, in law enforcement and judicial bodies, in the media. They are able to cover each other for any, even illegal actions. This is not democracy, it will not lead to good.
There are three problems in Russia now
Fools
Roads and Putin with his brigade
You need a strategist with a flair, he knew how to deal with the outlaws from power Grudinin calculated and he is a real leader
If there is Grudinin, there will be more chances of getting food without GMOs. One cynthia and "a million coffins for Americans" (type these words in a search engine) are worth something. Now no one is engaged in high-quality food testing, we poison ourselves. Grudinin was nominated after the study of the genome of the financier, where the extras showed the interest of the authorities in the promotion of decent economists. The data showed Zyuganov and the top of the Communist Party, they then decided to offer a decent rich red.
Here it is, obscurantism and ignorance of elementary biology! Are GMOs the food they poison? What nonsense! Although, why am I surprised: practically none of the users of the Russian Internet can enter into Google “What is GMO and how products are modified” Why then? Yes, because it is much easier to believe unconfirmed facts with RenTV than to study this topic yourself / yourself. You have to think about it!
What does this example prove to us? Propaganda. No one will ever show on federal channels truly informative and useful, and most importantly, facts-based programs. Make the conclusion yourself
Surprised, as it turned out, the wild non-professionalism of our media. Silly insinuations about Grudinin's accounts, bribery persons allegedly from the state farm, various Filkins and the like, but most of all, Pimanov, the host of "Man and Law", and Kiselev from the news, struck. How much is the authorities panicking that they have already connected such journalists? It's a shame that the people are perceived as cattle, who are fed any lie. You shouldn't have relaxed so much, gentlemen. Now the only choice is Grudinin!
I shake you right!
in the media, lawsuits against Grudinen begin ... does this indicate the weakness of the current government ..?
Truth is the verb, comrades. They don’t change horses in the ferry. I mean V.V. Putin. He pulled our Russia out of shit and made someone reckon with us for which honor and praise him. He must continue his work and he needs help. But Medvedev ( THERE IS NO MONEY BUT YOU HOLD ON) with a filthy broom in the ass and all the rest in the trash. All liars and radishes. Cameras are waiting for them, the sky in a box.
government led by Medvedev is Putin's team.
if anyone is to be chased, it is necessary to start with Putin, because. " the fish rots from the head".
The fish goes out from the head. Gentlemen, the rulers are not even shy about raising taxes before the elections, knowing that the people are already in the priest. Only Grudinin can fix something.
Where did he get us from? Say thank you that our country is so rich, there is a sea of natural resources, if not this fact, then we would be in even more shit than under Yeltsin. Pay attention, how oil began to cost less than 50 bucks, problems began in the economy. The entire economic genius of the current government is associated with a sharp and unexpected rise in oil prices at the beginning of this century.
18 years was not enough to learn how to work. And now they will start working. Well, you are a humorist.
