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.
Russia demands change. Every year corruption devours more and more everything around. It is humiliating to see all the injustice, it is scary for the future life of children and grandchildren.
Why again the Kremlin scenario?
It is very difficult for people to live in the country - wages are low, prices for everything are high, there is no support for young families, the old people give their entire pension for the rent and medicines, everything is paid for education, medicine ... collective and state farms have collapsed - "village" has no place to work taxes are being levied. I hope it can all change for the better - while everything is sad ...
Solasna is with you !!!
And I agree with you!
All paid if you do not pay is treated like dogs. Starting with a maternity hospital, a kindergarten, a school, a higher educational institution, and in order to get into a less good organization, you have to give it up. I will vote for Grudinen.
There will be, as always: one party, one (and the same) president! We have already experienced this under the communists. It’s even strange that until now textbooks do not begin with the chapter “United Russia and Vladimir Putin about ... (substitute any academic discipline)”. And it is all the more strange to call such an "election". Who do we choose from? Everything has been specially done so that there is no one to choose from! What, brilliant politicians have died in Russia and they have nothing to offer the people? Yes, there is no wedge in: everything is taken into account, calculated, softly (and sometimes rudely) suppressed any attempts to talk to people. And with whom? Power structures and state employees are hostages of the system, they are all “FOR”, and they are the majority. They seem to "survive" and are afraid of losing their piece of stale bread. "Whatever happens!" So people do not go to the polls. Everything has already been "selected". What is the only money spent on? It would be better to honestly say: the reign of the permanent leader continues, you don't even have to worry! Although leaving, as they say, is important on time, otherwise all the merits can turn into a complete collapse of the system of government!
Vote for GRUNGE. find a video about his work, people. what he does for them.
Candidates for the presidency must have a specific program. If you believe the sources of information, some do not have it. I think that every candidate, after becoming president, wants to radically change our life. Without this, the state has no further path of development.
The country is in a difficult situation, many are talking about the candidacy of the director of the state farm, there may be many worthy candidates, but the most popular candidate at the moment is General Viktor Ivanovich Sobolev. It's just a mystery to me why this candidacy is not considered by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. There is only one conclusion - the Communist Party of the Russian Federation will not nominate such an influential rival for the Kremlin, they are either Zyuganov or another weak candidate. The party of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation no longer has confidence.
ELECTIONS - 2018

** Power of Light
A worthy alternative to V.V. no! Bulk himself is a corrupt official! The rest so-chat and criticize! Being the President of Russia is not a baggage for you! We must devote ourselves entirely to serving the People!
What you know about it! Putin is tired of rolling bags! He should be retired already! And Navalny for President
Putin forward! hurray hurray hurray! Give a pole with a paid parking in every yard, gasoline for hundreds per liter, the letter "W" on everyone's back! You look and we will get into a bright future!
Navalny, all hope is in you!
But will Alexei be allowed? He would quickly deal with Putin's corrupt officials
I am also for Navalny. But if these bastards do not allow him, I will be for Ksenia.
