If only one candidate promised that he might try to restore the industry of the Soviet era. I live just in the Far East. There were 2 shipyards and a unique natural bay. There are no factories, the bay is listed only on the map. No one needs the Far East except as a feeding trough for MOSCOW. There is no one to vote for. Only subjective opinion. Prove the opposite - I will vote for you
To the applause of the people! supporting the current course of the liberal-comprador system in the person of Putin V.V., whose attention was diverted by foreign policy and defense, the enemy of the sovereign and social state inflicts the main blow at the legislative and executive levels of power, using the entire information and administrative resource. The very core and core, on which Russia has stood for 1000 years - faith and family, our identity with you, is being destroyed, contrary to a number of articles of the current Constitution, national security and the feelings of believers. Anti-people laws are adopted, Russian lands and mineral resources are distributed to foreigners, capital is taken abroad to offshore, including more than 77% of all assets of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. The people will find themselves in a caste society and the slavery of the system of their own free will with a stigma on their foreheads, and the state will transfer its functions to the usurers. In this situation, it is impossible to go over to the personalities of presidential candidates, both statesmen and patriots to everything Grudinin is a production worker and the fruits of their activities cannot be replaced by anything, as the truth says! There is a struggle of systems - democracy and compradors, like light and darkness. Do not delude yourself, people, the way to the wide gates is easy and pernicious, everything that is based on lies has no future!
Get out. Those who say that Putin brought the country out of the z @ dnitsa are unsure to say who drove it there. And Putin's friend Chubais drove in. You don’t find it strange when the same people are drowning and pulling out at the same time. Now the question to fill in, who benefits from it?
Perhaps all the young jerks are talking here, in the majority. You do not know the history of Russia, do not think globally, but argue at the level of everyday life. I remember the post-Soviet times, when there was nothing to buy food in the store, I remember Chechnya: my son was 8-10 years old , my neighbors and I cried so that they would not send our children there when they grow up. Vladimir Putin is the best President in the world. Our defense capability is better. than in America, which is very important. Read, watch a video on the Internet about it. we now live at the level of the whole world. If someone does not live well, then they are to blame, you have to work, you will have everything, do not be lazy !!! I work as a teacher, I combine 2-3 more jobs.Happy !!! I can buy everything I want, if necessary, and I can go abroad - Putin has ensured our safety, anyone can go at any time of the year. Look for the cause of your poverty in yourself, and NOT IN PUTIN. On the contrary, we have the opportunity to earn extra money and work. Develop. And to be treated and to rest. Children of the last generations are accustomed to living at the expense of their parents ... We must strive for everything ourselves. You have so many wonderful opportunities. Then you will be happy and have everything !!! Go for it. And I personally and many of my colleagues believe in V.V. Putin !!! Change of presidents threatens war and a coup d'etat.
Maria correctly writes, but this is for the city, we live in the countryside, we cannot dare and develop over the past 18 years, out of 14 collective farms, 1 of 14 collective farms has survived 1 poverty and hopelessness and this is thousands of hectares of abandoned land destroyed everything that was built under the communists heart bleeds to look at such devastation so let's go to vote for Grudinin in the hope that he will change his attitude towards agriculture. After all, the people do not live only in the city and the villagers want to live on their land with dignity.
Tamara and the war has been going on for a long time.
It is good to argue when work is nearby, and when you live in a village and there is no collective farm, there is no work and there will be no work, because the land has been stolen and we have been suing for more than 10 years, but there is no help. And when you read such tales, it becomes interesting to me.
You were born with cat-eye glasses or whatever !!!!!!!!!!!
Strange choices…. None of the seven "new" candidates, the central channels did not provide an opportunity to communicate one-on-one with viewers in a calm, time-free environment. This apparent clamp will undoubtedly guarantee an easier victory for the "main" candidate. I looked at Putin's pre-election message V.V. Federal Assembly. It is quite possible to recognize it, at the expense of improving the lives of ordinary citizens, in the intention to increase ..., provide ... and not bad. But should we believe in these next promises? Because there is no answer to the criticism of election opponents in the main. When will the "squandering" of Russia's natural resources stop, after all, this is the only thing on which the country has always held and is still holding. New rockets are, of course, impressive and we certainly need them. But partly because of them in the budget, under the current order, there is again a big hole for everything else. Dmitry Medvedev's government has already shown its complete inconsistency in solving real problems. Can't stop corruption, stop the direct theft of crude oil, timber and seafood. For many years she has been pursuing a stupid policy, staking on the oligarchic business in the extraction of oil and gas resources, which at least reduces the treasury revenues by a third. From this comes their most important mistake, domestic prices for gas, electricity, all types of fuel, under the pressure of the same oligarchs, strive to lead to global prices. Although, according to a purely Russian specifics, a huge territory, weak infrastructure in many cities and towns, it is necessary to do the opposite. It is necessary to reduce these prices in every possible way to ensure the preferential development of local enterprises, agriculture and to make life easier for citizens.
what a site. complete lie. Five voted for Putin from computers and phones and the result is no lie and divorce!
Do you think your 5 votes will affect the change in%, given that tens of thousands have already voted for Putin?)
Putin has been gone since 2006. the auricle cannot change in a person. gestures. the manner of speaking and where did his knowledge of German and pronunciation go. And how can a Russian squander our lands by leasing them to the Chinese so that they poison us, growing vegetables for us on their fertilizers. think about why the largest and richest country lives so poor. why such a gap in wages between people and the top. Why we collect the whole country for the treatment of children. Why our counters are filled with Chinese goods. and where is our industry? ... I am for changes in personnel. Enough to rob people. It's time to think.Our silence and voting for the current government will lead the country to ruin.
I will vote for the people's candidate, for the one who loves the people and does everything for the people, for a paradise for the people - this is the presidential candidate P.N. GRUDININ I don't want to live in ruin, in deception, in corruption, theft, etc. . We vote for Grudinin.
Well, vote for Grudinin then you will definitely understand what theft is
Nikolai Pustovskikh, a simple worker, non-partisan. Let's see how the debates are going in Russia. This is not a debate, but a bazaar, clowning. United Russia specially made such debates so that the candidates quarreled, poured mud at each other, picking at each other in dirty linen, instead of to discuss the problems of Russia, people, etc. Putin knew that there would be such debates and would not answer them, and he had nothing to answer. He destroyed the country inside, allowed to plunder the wealth of the people, the people became impoverished. Comrade Grudinin P.N. did the right thing. ., that he left the debate on the first channel, he immediately realized that it was a mess, in the country, in the debate. All candidates understand that one candidate, Comrade Grudinin, can fight the Aligarhs and the capitalists, and therefore they throw mud at him. understands that the people's candidate is the candidate for the presidency of our people's country, comrade Pavel Nikolaevich Grudinin. We vote for Grudinin, for a free, fair, happy life
Nikolay Pustovskikh You probably live beautifully with the Aligarh. So I am a simple worker, no party, and I want to say that I am tired of Putin's policy for the Aligarhs and capitalists. Tired of living with a tight belt and watching how our people’s country, the richest, is being plundered, and the life All the worse and worse, and the Aligarhs are getting richer and multiplying. The labor of the worker is underestimated, hard labor, with scanty salaries and pensions. So: our Russian multinational people will never live well, all the more happily, while Putin is president. Putin will never be against the Aligarhs. , bankers, the judicial system, Putin will never revise the wild privatization and the constitution - which is concocted under the president and the Aligarhs with double standards. This is the most important thing to do, and these politicians, together with Putin, will never do it. The number of Aligarhs and get rich, and the people will tighten their belts more and more.It is shameful for Putin that we are collecting money for the treatment of our children with poor our people. Let's see how people live in the state farm. LENIN at Grudinin Pavel Nikolayevich, there people live happily and enjoy life, breathe with full chest forgetting about tightened belts, they live in a SOCIALIST system. So, only one powerful party of Zyuganov and this party in solidarity with President Grudinin Pavel Nikolayevich can cure our sick COUNTRY. We must be happy and proud that we have a presidential candidate, Comrade Grudinin, who loves and does everything so that our multinational Russian people live happily and enjoy life. Thank you, Comrade Grudinin, that the people have him. I vote for Grudinin, for a happy and calm life.
