They don't say the homeland to the saved aloud

Ex-President of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev, who ruined a huge country, cannot call Vladimir Putin to refuse to participate in the presidential election. This was announced in the Vesti Week program by Prime Minister Dmitry Peskov. "The former leader of a huge country, in fact, ruining it, offers to resign to a person who managed to save Russia from the same fate," Peskov said. Peskov is not the first time in absentia in absentia to Gorbachev. In March of this year, he stated that Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin never said that "they would sit down and agree which of them will be the president." Thus, Peskov commented on the statement of Gorbachev, who called Putin and Medvedev the behavior of "incredible arrogance." “Personally, I believe that those whom Gorbachev criticized did not answer - neither one nor the other - for a very simple reason: they never said that they would sit down and agree who would be the next president. They said that they would consult and decide which of them will run for presidents,” Peskov said then.

The day before, Mikhail Gorbachev said that Putin should abandon the struggle for the presidential post, since he was in power for too long. “In general, I would advise Vladimir Vladimirovich to leave now. Three deadlines turned out: two deadlines by the president, one period by the prime minister - three deadlines, well, enough. Because these circles are created around,” Gorbachev said.

Answering the question whether he believes that Putin will voluntarily give power, Gorbachev said: "What is the terrible?" Remembering the events of 20 years ago, Gorbachev said that no one shifted him from the post of Soviet leader, he himself announced the termination of his powers of the president. In his opinion, Putin should also do the same. “So he needs to do it. I would go along this path, then everything positive that he had done would be protected,” Gorbachev said.

On December 13, Gorbachev stated that the authorities are obliged to fulfill the requirements of the participants in the rally and to raise the question of the cancellation of the results of the elections to the State Duma until December 24. “We must raise the question of the need to cancel on behalf of our system that arose, say“ Bolotinskaya, ”Gorbachev said. He noted that the authorities“ do not react to this and do nothing, and lead us by the nose. ”

"I feel sick already from this. If they do not offer us a solution to the issue of cancellation of the elections during these 12 days, then we have the right to tell people:" We must take up this for this. "And we all the time wereware: no need, no need." If the authorities with society will treat this, if it will cunning and mobilizing its entire resources, then society should be able to answer this, ”concluded Gorbachev.

On December 7, Gorbachev said that ignoring the opinion of the population regarding falsification of elections to parliament destabilizes the situation in the country, and also discredits the current government, said the ex-president of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev. The country's leadership must recognize numerous falsifications and nagging and hold new elections, Gorbachev said.

“Every day, more and more Russians do not believe that the announced election results are honest,” the ex -president said. In his opinion, official results do not reflect the will of voters.

In August, in an interview with the German media, Gorbachev said that United Russia is similar to the CPSU and pulls Russia into the past. "They pull us into the past, while the country is in dire need of modernization," he said. The former Soviet leader also spoke out against the return of Vladimir Putin to the presidential chair. According to him, the prime minister is interested in staying in power, "but not to solve pressing problems." “Nobody is considered the opinion of the people, and all parties are just a puppet in the hands of the ruling regime,” the politician emphasized.

In February, Gorbachev spoke sharply about the construction of parliament in Russia: "We have a parliament, there are courts, there are president and prime minister, but you know - more imitation, but there is no more effective work, especially ships and parliament." According to the ex-president, now the power is monopolized in Russia, and "the monopoly rotates, does not allow democratic processes to develop."
