Enough. Grudinin is a man of action
I wonder where the survey was conducted? In the thought? Something from my acquaintances no one knows where this poll is, we would all leave our vote. In the meantime, there is no such option to leave a vote, these results are worthless
Putin raises salaries in the budget only of the administrative part they are people and the janitors of the cook cleaning lady ....? There are many words about the people and few deeds. Everyone just praises themselves. Some fines and taxes all around. If Putin passes his retinue, it is necessary to grind thoroughly first of all.
For Putin if he resigns to the Medvedev government. People are ashamed of such a government.
You are right Elena. One gets the impression that Putin is a screen of the government with a "hanging tongue", and not the president.
All the candidates are so-so, but if you choose from the list that you saw, it's better than Putin V.V. not on this list. So you write to Navalny what he really is, what he did good at all - nothing, but other candidates - I read the biography and it's funny what we got to, women of easy virtue who are tired of playing socialite and decided to play for president, and male candidates kind - some criminals and it is not clear who? ... so dear readers, it is better to have what you have, and not clear what ..
Read Navalny's program first. And with what amount he prevented the embezzlement of budgets. Have you even studied it before writing? if channel 1 is not shown, it does not mean that he has nothing to be proud of. WHAT does Putin offer that? "Stability, absence of orange revolutions, meee, bee, kh, kh?"
Of course, Navalny did not do anything good, and Putin destroyed more than 80 thousand industrial enterprises and more than 50 thousand agricultural enterprises, destroyed more than 20 thousand settlements, more than 15 thousand medical institutions, built more than 25 thousand churches, handed over the mafia management of Putin's “friends” , drove over the hillock over 800 trillion. rubles, i.e. robbed Russia. as a result, a third of Russia is in poverty. And then “money, but you are holding on”. Glory to Putin.
Are you crazy - vote for Navalny, for Sobchak! Turn on your brains! Stop being jerky if you really want a change! Only Grudinin from "Sovkhoz im.Lenin ”is indeed the candidate who can change the situation in Russia for the better. Unbelieving Thomas, go to his state farm on an excursion, see how people live and work on a separate state farm in our capitalist state, how much they earn and what they say about their director. If you don't want to go, open the website of his state farm - you will see everything clearly in pictures. Don't you want to live the same way? I urge: turn on your brains and vote for the person who has already built a corner of prosperity and justice in a single territory, despite all the obstacles that are being posed to him. I could do it for myself, and will do it for the whole country. Vote for him - he is our last hope!
That's right Svetlana! Vote only for Grudinin! My relatives live there, not life but a fairy tale. We vote for Grudinin !!!!
Commanding a state farm and running a country are two different things.
Enough of the balabols. Grudinin is a man of action.
I agree, but unfortunately, few people know about him
Guard! How many are interested in the presidency. But most of them cannot show their real contribution to the life of the country. And Putin morning just like a galley slave has been working for the good of the country for so many years. But there are always and will be those who are dissatisfied. Sitting on the couch is always comfortable to lead. I will vote for him. If Grudinin goes to the polls, I'm afraid the votes in the family will be divided. Grudinin is also a very worthy candidate.
Not in any way for Navalny. not for Xenia. not for Putin-this is the end of the country !!!
If Grudinin participates, then we will drown for him.
