“Let's look at the pros and cons. With the pros, everything is more or less clear - this is the natural course of my political career, the position of the Moscow City Duma deputy is good for the implementation of the Urban Projects program, and the influence will be much greater.
In addition, you will receive representation in the Moscow City Duma, there will be someone who looks like you and knows how to speak your language: he writes on Twitter from meetings, makes all sorts of posts with photos and understands your agenda. At the moment, we do not have such a representative either in the State Duma, or in the Federation Council, or in the Moscow City Duma.
Another obvious advantage of this idea is the increased probability of getting there compared to a normal situation.”
