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.
The arithmetic is as follows: my parents gave birth to me and my sister, I have two children, my sister has one child, my children do not want to make children (to breed poverty) because after college they cannot find a decent job to pay the mortgage and somehow exist with my sister too most. The question is, what will happen in 12 years if foreign policy and assistance to incomprehensible friends are in the first place?
sad, damn it ((
Russia is a beautiful country where beautiful people live. Therefore, everything will be fine. A little bit would be pulled up to the Temples, with care for neighbors and prayers. it would be great.
I agree
Putin, win
Undoubtedly, Putin will win. If Putin is among the candidates, the other candidates have no chance. And the chances of all ladies, like Gordon and Sobchak, are close to zero. Putin is a strong leader, respected throughout the world, does not bend to America, defends Russia's interests. If there is a strong foreign policy, there will be internal growth. In agriculture, it already exists (thanks to Western sanctions).
The classic blind man…. you!
There are many candidates, but there is nothing to choose from. If Putin remains, there will be stagnation in the country.
Putin will undoubtedly win, but the situation in the country (internal situation) is practically at the bottom. We have successes in foreign policy, but what is inside… To vote for Putin means that for another presidential term the country loses at least some hope for internal growth. Zhirinovsky, Zyuganov ... comrades, what seems to be the opposition, but it seems not. The rest are for extras. Navalny remains, it is not clear what will happen, how it will be, but pondering other candidates, Navalny looks much more promising. Tired of seeing this utopian-idiotic patriotism from half-impoverished people “we will win! Putin is handsome. "
A lawyer by training who cannot clearly formulate two words. Have you seen how he defended himself in court? And constant visits to the American embassy in pre-bailout times.
Candidate # 15 has everything written correctly, but in fact there will be a total sale (worse than lousy Black Friday).
I also have no respect for Putin. More impressive results could have been achieved in 20 years.The state is now only a co-owner in strategically important enterprises (resources, processing, electricity, fuel) and receives 10-40% of all profits. What a disgrace is this?
I vote for PUTIN! Definitely a worthy PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA! I live on a salary of 19 thousand rubles, but I will vote for him. It will be difficult to live in Russia forever, if you do not understand that our country should be a strong independent power. I wish victory to Putin and the revival of the best traditions, an increase in the standard of living, for which EVERYONE should stand up, and not only those who are "bad" ...
Think deeply and analyze. There are materials on Putin everywhere and not fiction. Everything is proven. And with Kursk, and with the explosion of the houses of the FSB, for which Litvinenko was killed. Relations with the Rhodschilds and conspiracy with an organized criminal group of international scale. Distribution of raw materials and loans (money to other countries) that will never return. Many organizations in the country were sponsored by Putin through dummies and affiliated foundations ... Just think and ask those who know again, you don't have to listen to what I am writing about. Thanks . Good luck.
As long as there is such an electorate, Russia is doomed, who it needs to be, and what it needs to think in order to believe that Putin cares about them.
Cheese in butter has long lost interest in you, you are mold for it.
Definitely V. Putin, or Zyuganov.
Zhirinovsky
Suraikin would have been voted for, a promising young candidate.
A worthy candidate will also appear who will need the support of both those who are for Putin and those who are against, since there is a variant of the Transformation of Russia, in which you will not have to break much, but you will be able to start from scratch.
