Election results, who won
The final rating of Russian presidential candidates was published on March 19, 2018.

For Grudinin!
Enough to be patient with this insolent thief around the "king", which is led by the Western shadow government-mvf. , State Department of the USSR and other Western puppeteers!
The richest country in the world, and 20.000.000 million people. live below the poverty line! And sanctions are to blame for everything
Ukraine, the State Department and another wagon and a small cart from the side!
And the fact that a mediocre government has not been able to introduce a coherent economic program for 15-20 years is the "king" not seeing? Or doesn't he want to see?
Sergey Glazyev (and r.a.s. of the Russian Federation), Stolypin Economic Club, P. Grudinin offer excellent
programs for the development of the economy. But no, again this "eccentric" A. Kudrin in the Ts.S.R. The "king" invited!
Who worked hard on the collapse of the Russian economy!
Completely disappointed with the current president's domestic policy! Previously, I thought the "king" was good, the "boyars" were stealing. But now it is absolutely clear that with the knowledge and connivance of the "tsar" all the outrageous things are happening here!
If the President of Singapore had the political will, for 25 years he brought the country out of poverty and backwardness,
with wild corruption, in a country with zero corruption and economic growth of 10-12% per year! And this is the country
having practically no natural resources!
I am for Pavel Grudinin!
I interviewed all my acquaintances. There is only one answer - Pavel Grudinin. The dirt that is poured on him only confirms his decency and honesty. There is nothing to expect from the current government, except for poverty and the destruction of the country.
The villages have collapsed, now they have taken up small towns, devastation, without work and prospects. Only GRUDININ !!! maybe at least some positive changes will be
I am glad that there are so many smart people ... Grudinin is our president!
Here everyone writes with such ease about 10, 15 years, as if it were a hundredth part of human life - like I don't mind such a trifle. But I feel sorry for every minute of my life. I'm 52 years old, and I remember well how life was before this fucking perestroika. Half of my life has passed in anticipation of the "best". I don’t want to wait any longer, and I can’t either - it remains as they say "two Mondays". How can you vote for Putin if he says “the privatization was not fair, the people were robbed…. but we will not revise the results of privatization ”???? For many years now I have been voting for the Communist Party, and all my acquaintances are the same, but Yeltsins, Putin, Medvedev, Putin are still at the helm ... Who will explain the meaning of the elections to me ????
For Grudinin. I would have voted for Pu, but the judicial and prosecutorial lawlessness would ruin the country, but he does not understand this.
I read the comments, well, that's the most objective statistics, here the overwhelming majority supported Grudinin. If everything is fair, he will definitely win by a huge margin! In general, it hurts to watch how much dirt has already been poured on him, it would be better to look for an account with the most epoch-making candidate ... Biased, bestial attitude of the authorities to a person, they themselves are in shit and let's measure others by themselves, it's sickening ...
It's just that the real riotous make such a noise. The disappointment of the collective farmer will come very quickly. Another crook
People think with their heads, do they really not yet understand what Grudinin and his fake songs are.
Tatiana you don’t understand you are from the category who receive 7800 rubles a month and still go to vote for Putin, we still have a lot of such stupid people. You are used to living as lackeys and live that you impose your opinion on us. I myself want changes and I want so that my children and grandchildren live with dignity, while Putin and his team for 18 years of government have already shown what they are capable of. As a 19-year-old boy, my father went from Stalingrad to Berlin and fought for our happy future, but not for our existence in a rich country. You are brainwashed by a box, they are well-brainwashed. They work for a very high salary, a million or more per month.
No, Grudinin hardly writes here. Ordinary people who are tired of lies write
Grudinin sings like Poroshenko
Poroshenko, then where ???? He was at the trough at any power…. And what did he do for the people? For their hard workers ???
And Putin is just blowing in his ears, and hanging noodles about how everything is good with us. And Grudinin is really afraid, because he thinks soberly, unlike the present.
Your V.V.p. has been singing better than poroshenko for 18 years.
Your favorite 17 years of the population of Russia sings and promises! Wherever you go and where you don't come, there is anger and fatigue from life in the land of thieves and crooks. How many people can be led by the nose, like Moses people in the desert. When the string must end, if it does not end, then it will definitely light up. Let the change of power take place better in an evolutionary way than in a revolutionary way.
I agree with you completely. We will probably also be sold to Americans
