Campaign shield of the future winner of the elections, S.S. Sobyanin, comfortably located in a dead end at the beginning of the repaired Sretensky Boulevard, at the foot of the monument to engineer Shukhov.
That is, where people DO NOT GO.
Sobyanin's forced agitators, exhausted from loneliness and the nonsense of what was happening, played tag on a patch near the monument. On both sides of the boulevard, along the sidewalks, voters flowed like a river, but the tags were more interesting than campaigning for Sobyanin.
In the name of the purity of the experiment, I even crossed the roadway and stood on this spot, presenting myself as a good object for processing, but nobody was interested in this either ...
Which is understandable, both in particular and in principle.
Well, there is no need for Sobyanin to agitate for himself! Controlling television, millions of obedient state employees and all future counting, he is the clear winner of these semi-Ethiopian "elections"; to fight one by one for the votes of Muscovites is somehow even undignified for him ...
I, the voter Shenderovich, as well as other named Muscovite voters, passers-by, visitors to cafes, residents of houses, inhabitants of shops ... - all of us are of no interest to him at all.
And the refusal to debate is completely in line with this nomenklatura contempt for the population.
Contempt is well-founded, because only Putin, who got up on his left foot and suspected Sergei Semenovich of disloyalty, can prevent Sobyanin from becoming mayor. Then, indeed, even Levichev, even Spider, even a little mouse will win, and Sobyanin will go to Bastrykin to explain about the housing issue and paving slabs costing $ 800 per square meter.
But while there are no problems with loyalty, the outcome of the elections is clear.
Therefore, Sobyanin's election campaign did not turn into, but from the very beginning it was nothing more than a kind of cut: grandmas were allocated - excellent! Let's take these grandmothers and divide them, and for the sake of jackdaws we will make an agitation shield (there is nowhere dumber, but what's the difference), we will put it where people don't go anyway - and we will drive forced mitrofans from universities to play tag.
That's all their effectiveness.
But for Navalny, I have already been campaigned on the streets of Moscow many times. Yesterday, a nice volunteer lay in wait for me at the campaign cube on the alley leading to the Sokolniki metro station, gave me a newspaper and tried to slip me a sticker for my non-existent car. It was delightful to watch how she tried not to let anyone pass by…
Thousands of such volunteers, thousands of people who are ready to invest their money and their labor in Navalny; hundreds of thousands of people who finally learn about its existence not only on the occasion of slander in the Vremya program - this is already a significant result of the Moscow elections!
Because, I assure you, nothing will end on the 8th of September, and much will only begin.
