Composition of the Central Election Commission (CEC)

communism is a utopia - Paradise on earth, democracy - call the regime a democracy and do what you want, monarchy - the opinion of one. In my opinion, socialism is a progressive system, here there will be a place for private traders, peasants, workers and civil servants.
Communism is not a utopia, there are no oligarchs, all enterprises are state-owned, not private.
I think that we can and should change the president of Russia, only to someone who is as smart and serious as Putin, everyone else is not suitable for this position
Putin's policy is not bad. He showed on the world stage that Russia is not a regional country. I'm proud of that! But not everything is so good inside the country. We were ordinary working people who were given away under the leadership of a ‘business’ that seeks only profit, no honesty, fairness. A small engineering technician or an office worker gets ten times more than a specialist in secondary education. It's a shame to work in the north for 30,000 rubles for 10 hours a day almost seven days a week. You have to do something about this ...
Only the communists will be able to raise the country, all the rest are powerless for various reasons.
1-3) _ Catherine GorMon wants Sobchachikha to "beat" -
“Gilded gramophone” is not enough for her! ..
- “Using the human rights hype,
I will improve the gene pool in Russia !! ...
2-3) _ I am not glamor, I am a hard worker since childhood! ..
And I already gave birth to two boys !! ..
As Sobchachikha, I will not "breed a bodyag" -
I have already fought with the ExtraseXes! ...
3-3) _ Russia has been singing me for a long time! ..
And "House Two" is known as the Brothel !! ..
I will become the Woman-Messiah for the Power -
and I'll send Bandersha from House Two to the panel !! ...

And they won't jail me for reporting?
Try to be politically correct;)
Undoubtedly, Putin, Navalny to the government, preferably to the anti-corruption committee, but his presidential plan is terrible, his position on Crimea, his position on Chechnya, his position on Syria, his position on Central Asia and the military industry are simply awful. Basically, all the attention to corruption about other aspects of the state says little, although in addition to corruption there is a lot more in the country that requires attention and reforms, Putin, on the contrary, pays enough attention to everything except corruption, but it is still better to miss one and keep everything else than to do one and to score on everything.
Levada center is all Putin's propaganda, ordinary people of working specialties began to live even worse, there are no well-paid jobs in cities, most of them go on shifts, more than half of the factories are collapsed, the rest work on a four-day period, there is no national currency, rallies were banned, the National Guard was introduced, fuel is growing like the prices in stores, they destroyed the whole country and in the next 10 years they will destroy (((
You say nonsense ... under Putin The people live better! People have bought so many cars for themselves that they have nowhere to put them at night!
Everything else that you write about here is your invention!
The communists destroyed a beautiful country and built a concentration camp on its ruins, and people like Peter, who care for Stalin, will grind the millstones of communism first, as already happened.
I am not a supporter of the communists, but for the sake of justice I must note that the country was destroyed by Nikolai the Bloody, and the communists reassembled it piece by piece.
The communists built a state, and the talkers and licks who made their way made their way, Stalin saw this during his rule and eradicated it.
