Only for Putin, there is no one else to choose from, he is irreplaceable.
There are no irreplaceable ones.
I remember the Gorbachev era, just chatter and impoverishment in the country. I remember the Yeltsin times, one lie, the collapse, the destruction of the people. Under Putin, not everything is perfect, but it was under him that the state debt was paid, with him they began to pay pensions, under him the law, even with a creak, but began to work, under Putin the army was revived, factories, bridges, roads began to be built, a new cosmodrome. For many years of human and territorial losses under Putin, Crimea was returned, and life expectancy increased, under Putin, population growth began in the country. We provided the country with food, under Putin the country began to sell bread! When was that? Even with the king! Only an idiot, or an enemy of Russia, can not see all the titanic work that Putin has done over the past 17 years. We turn on the logic, the choice is unambiguous.
+100
under Gorbachev and Yeltsin lived even better
> chatter and impoverishment
> lies, collapse, destruction of the people
In your opinion, there are wrong Gorbachev chatter and impoverishment, wrong Yeltsin lies, the collapse and destruction of the people and the correct Putin chatter, impoverishment, lies, the collapse and destruction of the people?
> When was that?
Where? generally in different countries? in Eastern Europe and Latin America, not only was it, but it is, and not that, and even better - at the same time they did without landings due to lawlessness, deprivation of property due to lawlessness, currency control and a ban on the storage and carrying of short-barreled weapons
> Not seeing all the titanic work that Putin has done over the past 17 years, maybe
> just an idiot, or an enemy of Russia.
the one who does not consider the merits of the cost of oil or natural improvements over time, which would still have occurred under normal government, as the merits of Putin - an idiot or an enemy of Russia, and the one who insults the opponents of a distraught dictator who openly destroys the people is not an idiot or an enemy Of Russia
"It's lovely, lovely!" (from)
in general, this is indicative: Prigozhin's subcontractors have no arguments, all that remains is to publicly brag about coprography, which is not at all a reason for pride
> Turn on the logic
why didn't you follow your own advice?
Not Putin or Medvedev !!! I would vote for Okhlobystin or Khakamada. Too bad they are not on the list !!!!!
We will choose Ivan Okhlobystin and everything will become more fun for everyone
Even though we will die with a smile on our face)
Putin is no one else
Putin and only Putin V. Wake up people !! Navalny came and everyone began to live better ???? Who is Navalny? What did he achieve with whose money he was promoting himself ??? Crossword???
Only not Putin and not Medvedev
I am for the Communist Party, regardless of the name of the candidate.
Only Navalny!

Putin has removed all competitors! All the media now and then rattle only about him! And that in Russia there is no choice among 150 million people ?? Putin has already become a supply manager! Where governors cannot even build a playground without him! Laughter and more! Around the collapse of the economy and the rise in prices for everything and everyone every quarter almost and his rating is off scale! TIRED OF ALL!!!
