I didn’t want to write anything about the elections. Firstly, because I just returned home after working at the precinct commission (anticipating the question, I’ll say - 130 out of 223, you understand). And secondly, because a lot has already been said before me. But it is necessary.
At my polling station, people said they were being forced to vote. They asked for a certificate of employment in order to account for their vote. I doubted the legality of this action. People said: “At my work they ask for a certificate. And at my parents’ work too,” the chairman of the commission shrugged her shoulders and wrote out certificates. And people went to report on their votes. This is not democracy, this is dictatorship and tyranny. I don’t want my youth to pass under such power.
I'll tell you this. In the morning I was driving to my station and opened the notes in my phone - I had saved the most important articles of the federal law there. I practically don’t use capital letters and abbreviate words, and the title of the note looked like this : “Federal Law on Elections in the Russian Federation.” So, unfortunately, “P” here means not only “president”. Despite the fact that there was another P on the ballot. But I didn’t have my hopes up. As is the case with Z, Zh and M.
And yes. I'm going to tomorrow's opposition rally. I'm definitely going.
