Although I am not a fan of the pseudo-opposition and consider it an element of the ruling system, in the situation with Gudkov I agree that there is no way for United Russia to deprive him of his mandate. No matter how we feel about the activities of the former colonel and about him personally, we cannot help but give him his due.
The man went through the purgatory of more than one election and walked around and met with people, and unlike many of his colleagues in the shop he is consistent, intelligible, speaks normal Russian, knows how to talk to the street, and therefore, if anyone has the right to deprive him of his status , so these are only voters and NOBODY, you hear, edrogopniks, NOBODY else.
I’m just sick of the fact that a party of billionaires, thoroughly saturated with corruption and bribery, where passage to the Duma cost up to ten million dollars (if not euros), through whose efforts in my Volgograd region alone two governors were replaced in three years and a third was appointed, without explanation reasons, not giving a damn about the opinions of two and a half million residents, without apologizing and without at least somehow explaining their throwing.
By the way, I have a question for Citizen Medvedev in this regard: Is everything okay in your head?
And now this party of swindlers and thieves suddenly declares themselves moralists and expels the person for whom the citizens actually voted. It wasn’t they who kicked Gudkov out, it was they who wiped their feet on us.
