and I just don’t understand for socialism, what does Grudinin have to do with it? And to vote in a country where such a person as Sobchak is admitted to candidates is generally silly.
Fell off the moon? Did he understand that he blurted out?
And here, in general, Grudinin, a dubious person, really for Sobchak is sooo big stupidity
Sobchak has the most competent advanced program. Everything that our country needs. Young, smart, energetic. A woman after all. A woman is always wiser.
Sobchachka spoiler putlerovsky. She does not and cannot have any program. Capitalism is sucking the United States, that's its whole program. Putler agreed with her for 2 million dollars so that she would create a movement around the elections, play pseudo-democracy. All these performances are for the West.
Whoever they choose is beyond their power to eliminate the suffering of people, all that is said, they promise only noodles, bullshit.
This is yes !!! Moreover, Putin does at least something, I do not know those at all, Sobchak and so it is clear who, I love Zhirinovsky for the truth, but let's admit the war will begin immediately. They feel good
suitable to sit in thoughts, where, apparently, they sit all their lives. But good luck to you all !!!
I vote for Comrade Grudinin P.N., for a happy and prosperous life, such as he did in the state farm named after P.N. LENIN. For life where they do not plunder our country, they do not rob the people. To revise the privatization and the constitution that was cooked up for the president and the aligarhs.
For Putin (voted) for how many years and what is there for today? !!!! What's the difference with whom the Russian people will endure, but it's worth trying another candidate, it won't get any worse, so we live in poverty and injustice, maybe the Chinese will slow down a little .And the war is already a war.
I am for Putin, the rest will fall down at the first difficulties. The man who stopped the fall of the country returns the territories that the oligarchs donated - they gave them to the amers. I put things in order in the army, have you already forgotten how they were afraid to send children to the army and what did they do there? A worthy start, let him continue to reform the country. There is no worthy replacement! Grudinin is a liar, Zhirinovsky nervostenik, Sobchak - it's time for her to go to ward 6. The rest are mumbling something that is not grim ... especially Yavlinsky in advertising on the toilet :))
In the army, as there was a mess, it remained. Friends of the son serve ... all beaten and hungry. And my son will go in a year ... ... I'm in shock ....
Grudinin is the Russian Trump :)
Dear friends, Russians, Grudinin is a big plus.
This sort of people will plunder everything that is left and take it out of the cordon
All Russian people must understand! You only need to vote for Grudinin. Otherwise we will all die out. There are only 90 million of us left in the country. They have all been killed and continue to continue! Get up, wake up and go vote for Grudinin.
What a stupid campaign.))) Where do they pay for it? They sink to such a level, just to sit in a chair. Ahaha. All of you in the face !!! For the sternum. Does it really work? I think there are still more adequate people in our country.
Personally, I am only for Grudinin, Putin has exhausted himself, for so many years and nothing but weapons, it feels like tomorrow is war, And children, and medicine, education — where did all this go ????????? Cancel the fucking EGE, do more certification among specialists — in all directions, cancel the business in medicine, the FISH IS ROTTING FROM THE HEAD ... I think everyone found this rotting head ... ..
Hmm .. if the Unified State Exam is canceled, I have no idea what will happen to education ..
