Leonid Volkov: "Marathon with a weight on his feet"

“Today at 6 in the morning we came with a search of a company that is a contractor for printing production. (We keep this process on an outsource: the guys themselves select printing houses depending on the circulations, control the quality of the press, solve logistics issues and so on),” writes the head of the election headquarters of Alexei Navalny on his Facebook page.

"We came home to the director of the company and in two of the printing houses. At 6 in the morning. To ordinary commercial contractors. We only recently found out about it, there was no connection with them, now we are sending lawyers and trying to find out the details.

According to the scene, sound, light, screens on June 12 - the Moscow City Hall methodically calls all potential contractors (the market is not so large) and urgently “does not recommend” working with us. Yesterday they tried to ban the screens and normal sound at their idiotic meeting, we left the meeting, they went a different way.

In the regions what is happening with the lessors, printing houses, other contractors, I will not even retell, you know everything. It got to the point that the hotel refused us to settle "out of fear, no matter what happened." (I will name a specific hotel: Radisson in Chelyabinsk).

This is all very similar to a marathon with a weight on the legs. To conduct a campaign of such a scale based on crowdfunding and volunteers is already difficult - no one has ever done this - but here it is all. They really hung a weight on our feet, we run, they stand by the side of the road and they laugh at the mouthpiece, the tummy tears: “Ha ha ha, that it’s so slowly running that you are so embarrassed from your feet to your foot”; And also placed along the highway of some classes with vuvouses. They paid them money, and they are worth it, the tongues stuck out, blow and laugh.

Unpleasant. But we are running.

And every time, when the kettizer somehow presses especially, someone writes something good, or the contractor is new and ideological, the printing house in the region prints something for free, the Principal owner drives the FSBSHNOV or something else happens. And we run further. "
