Maxim Kats: "Spoiler on the left, spoiler on the right"

The municipal deputy in the Live Journal analyzes the election program of the growth party Boris Titov, coming to the conclusion that this is the "least nasty" leg of the Kremlin, reminiscent of the "fair Russia" of the 2011 model.

"I am watching with interest the Kremlin’s next attempt to create a controlled liberal party. Nothing came out last times - it turned out that the liberal party, unlike the left or communist, could not be controlled. It either intensifies and quickly begins to get out of control, since the people who are in it are usually not ready to be content with a good salary and the position of the court clown. It receives less than 1% of the vote, since potential voters do not vote.

“There are generally decent people generally gathered, and I would even be happy, they escaped to the State Duma instead of the current“ fair Russia ”or LDPR. If you choose between different legs of the Kremlin, then this leg is apparently the least disgusting.
They somewhat reminiscent of the SR of the 2011 sample. And there were decent people. We all remember what it turned into, but still it is probably better than EP and LDPR.

Boris Titov completely openly calls Dmitry Gudkov with his political opponent. Of course - Dmitry Gudkov is the only one in the State Duma of the past convocation sequentially, publicly and professionally worked against the presidential administration.

He did not vote for their laws, raised a noise around them, did not accept instructions from them and did not go to the flyers. For which he was excluded from “Fair Russia” and is now in all different legs of the Kremlin by a political opponent. Including the liberal. "

Maxim Katz also mentions Ilya Sviridov and Dmitry Potapenko, whom Fair Russia and the Growth Party put up in the Tushino district of Moscow against former Socialist -Revolutionary Dmitry Gudkov in the upcoming elections.

“I understand both Titov and Mironov. They play their parties, these are their work, all similar spoilers are understandable and explainable, I wait, when finally some party finds a candidate with a similar name to deceive the oldest people and take away some tenths of a percent.

But I do not understand Ilya Sviridov and Dmitry Potapenko. To go to the district against the only current independent deputy of the State Duma, who has long been leading a large public campaign and gained more than 1000 volunteers in the district, to go against him without the slightest intention to win, and solely to help win Gennady Onishchenko is vigor. ”
