Election results, who won
Composition of the Central Election Commission (CEC)
The Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation is a federal state body formed in accordance with electoral legislation, organizing elections and referendums in the Russian Federation, independent of other government bodies within its competence.
The seventh composition of the election commission will operate from 2016 to 2021. It has 15 permanent members.
I see two presidential candidates. This is V.V. Putin. and Zhirinovsky V.V. These two strong policies are as already shown. President Vladimir Putin has priority in foreign policy, there is no dispute here, but he has a team that has launched an internal state within his state. The trouble is that from the inside, officials, especially in the districts, do not comply with the laws of the Russian Federation and until the President is informed about violations of their rights, the President gives the command to correct, and where is the demand from such officials and those who are obliged to serve the fatherland. Zhirinovsky V.V. a very smart, talented politician and showed that he can really win the Head of State since he predicts the entire internal situation of our state and knows the problems of citizens because he personally communicates with the citizens of Russia and knows about all the problems of citizens.
The choice is all the same for the citizens of Russia, and what choice we make, it depends on us.
A pensioner who has worked for more than 30 years in one enterprise, earned a minimum pension, always voted for the communists, and now I will vote for Putin - the situation in Russia is tense, the president cannot be changed.
Astrologers' predictions about the elections in 2018, said in this article, seem to me the most informative, especially in the 21st century :)
These are the faces! "Black icon" of something there, a man with the physiognomy of a theater artist Romen, several alcoholics, a couple of obvious patients of a neuropsychiatric dispensary. Ksenia, of course, where without her! Not people, but boils! Is it really impossible to do without insulting a common man in the street, why such a crude farce?
In the new year, as in the past, I will vote for V. Zhirinovsky, as I trust him 100%. Whoever says or responds about him is a confident leader who does not give up and believes in himself and in the people.
V.V.'s victory Putin will take place in two cases: 1. Old women and grandfathers * If only there was no war. * 2. Falsification.
What are you saying)) And you don’t want to calculate what a small percentage are these old women and grandfathers? So, offhand, or is it preferable for you to be dishonored?
If Putin does not want to go to the polls, then he will most likely leave a man “from the shadows” who “does not shine” in the media and whom Vova trusts as his successor. It is unlikely that it will be someone of those whom everyone is talking about: Shoigu, Dyumin, Rogozin, and so on, it will be someone else ...
Most likely it will be Alexey Gennadievich Dyumin. It was not in vain that they let him down to the people from the heights of power. Train ...
I am sick of these not serious people. It feels like they are all puppets like in a talk show on TV.
Yes, the choice will not be easy if a candidate appears from the outside. Of course, I want the master of Russia, so that he is not soft to our deputies, the so-called oligarchs. thieves in law and most importantly to raise the country's economy. And the news showed better new buildings of factories, factories, kindergartens, honey. centers and innovation that serves the life of the common people. At the moment, only Moscow is alive and well. And there is no need to be proud of weapons in appearance to show fewer enemies around Russia, and when necessary, then we will respond with our strength and advanced technologies in weapons.
Grudinin, a candidate from the outside, it seems to me. Look, read
Putin will not win. The zombie Russian people will ensure his victory!
How can he not win if “we” ensure his victory?)) You contradict yourself.
