"United Russia" continues to lose Ural cities - yesterday it lost Sredneuralsk to the Sverdlovsk region, the smallest working city, the support of the regime (as it seems). United Russia candidate A. Astakhov received 23.59% of the votes, self-nominated B. Tarasov - 37.53%. http://www.ikso.org/100070506.html
It seems that it was precisely for such towns that the Kholmansky plenipotentiary representative was brought into power from the UVZ workshop, but it was still a defeat. There is no need to look for abstruse explanations here: the authorities are simply behaving completely inappropriately, they have lost the habit of thinking and working in conditions of at least some competition. And people are simply tired of these thieving faces, always saying the same thing about stability and development, although everyone has a clear message on their forehead: “I want to grab my piece of the pie!”
This is what Dmitrieva’s TsSR warns about once again—fatigue with power, distrust of it, which has crossed a critical level. In such cases, there are no revolutions: everything simply crumbles one day from the most insignificant push. And instead of a major rebranding of their party, they are driving in the prime minister and the governors who retain the remnants of their authority. They hope it will resolve. No, it's too late. Although it probably makes sense to load them all onto one barge.
