Briefly about honest PutinEverywhere in Samara (and there is no reason to suspect that Samara in this regard is different from other cities and weights of the Russian Federation) did not allow the media representatives (even completely loyal ones ), independent observers (“Voice”, voters' League), and the mass removal from the sections of the Commissions from the Communist Party immediately before the start of counting votes ), taking advantage get rid. The options have been noted: the media representative does not have a direction and correspondent assignment (not required); The media representative conducts photo or video shooting (not prohibited); The observer fixes (not scandalitis and requires to fix, but only fixes) violation - unstoppted lists, for example (not prohibited); The observer (or journalist) communicates with other observers; Ten minutes before the end of the vote, it turns out that the members of the Commission from the Communist Party, SR, or Prokhorov were incorrectly executed by the direction (this was not noticed during the entire time of the WIC, but at the direction of the ticks they began to massively notice before the start of the vote), etc.
The conclusion is simple and unpretentious: if Putin needed honest elections, then employees of election commissions would instruct in such a way that they themselves invite representatives of the media, observers, ordinary people from the street to sites, to Tiki, to the oblasts - “go, look as we believe, see the protocols - just say that we are false and falsifiers.” Since the team was apparently lowered (audio recording of the instruction of the chairmen of the PEC ), they tried to get rid of all disloyal witnesses. Information about exactly the same ways to eliminate independent witnesses from the election monitoring process and vote counting came from all over the country. Willy-nilly, a persistent feeling is created that all this happened centrally. And if centrally, it means that the thesis “Putin is a candidate who is most interested in honest elections” does not withstand criticism. But the reverse thesis - “Putin is a candidate who is most not interested in honest elections” - is just supported by all these facts.
I have no doubt that by morning Vladimir Putin will “draw” the missing interest before victory in the first round (he began to write in the evening of March 4, by night it became known - about 65%). But these interest are no longer there. And Putin did not become a legitimate, legal “king” as a result of such elections.
Judge for yourself: only people who are directly involved in the process of falsification of the results in the country are millions. These are all employees of all state and municipal bodies, almost all state employees, many forced employees of private enterprises (whom the owners of the uniforms forced to take abnormalities, participate in the "carousels" and vote in accordance with their instructions), all police and military personnel, all the under investigation, etc. This is at least 10-15 million people. They do not live in a vacuum, everyone has friends and relatives who will also be aware of how “honestly” elections were held. Total - millions of 50 of our population in one way or another will be aware of how to “pull” the votes to the nationalist. If we count the 15-20 funds of Putin’s 15-20 fundamental opponents (a poll of the Levada Center for February-34% of Putin’s activities that do not approve), it turns out that in the honesty of the elections and legitimacy of the election of GDP (regardless of whether the person sincerely supports it either, or does not support it at all), the absolutely meager part of our fellow citizens is convinced.
I emphasize once again: regardless of the fact that the large (not infinitely large and not 65% voted, of course) the number of our fellow citizens completely sincerely votes for Putin, at the same time, thanks to the efforts of the headquarters of this candidate (now elected by the president) and the entire vertical of power, the same people, for the most part, are perfectly understood (at least at the level of subconscious), that its election is very far from honesty. And he himself is terribly far from legitimacy.
A country whose president is illegitimated in the minds of most citizens will never become a legal state. With the illegitimate president, there will never be a “dictatorship of the law”. Never with an illegitimate president, acting exclusively by law, there will be a civilized society. Under the illegitimate president, we will never get out of the stage of bureaucratic and blue feudalism.
Because any calls and any (even if you imagine the sincerity of such impulses that, unfortunately, doubtfully) the attempts emanating from Putin to bring the country to the path of normal civilized development will stumble on the hidden grin of all those who in one way or another participated in the Vacchanalia of the “election” of the following president: “And these people urge us to follow the law?”
It is sincerely sorry that among those gathered there, in the Kremlin or government, in regional and local administrations or the State Duma, in the United Russia party, among modern feudal lords, there are very few people who understand the danger of such a systematic corruption of the minds of fellow citizens.
