Candidate Sobchak. Does her experiment increase Navalny's chances for admission to the elections?

They write that Ksenia Sobchak must announce his plans for the presidential election after meeting and talking with Vladimir Putin. D leaks of this kind cannot be evaluated by the degree of reliability, but here it is not a matter of reliability, but in logic-yes, of course, this is most logical so that the latter (more precisely-the penultimate, the latter, in any case, will be for Sobchak) the word in such a situation remains with Putin.

The liberal or pseudoliberal candidate of the Prokhorov-2012 format admitted to the elections-yes, this is the pure nomenclature of the presidential administration of the deputy head of the political issues of Sergei Kiriyenko. This is his responsibility to hold the presidential election, the creation of an information background and additional intrigue, all sorts of semi -virtual games in the election struggle and what else is supposed to be done there. Probably, the idea with a woman-candidate-first in general form, then personified-was born either at Kiriyenko, or somewhere around. And, probably, Ksenia Sobchak tells the truth when she insists that she did not conduct any consultations with the Kremlin about this. But consultations are not needed, there are many ways to bring this idea without a personal meeting, including the simplest - a leak in the press with which it all started a month ago. Judging by the further behavior of Sobchak (Alexei Navalny described it with two indecent verbs “maneules” and “interestingly”), the prospect of participating in the elections interested her, but at the same time, no matter how excited her public statements on this matter, “yes, I will participate” - she never said, and it looks very strange, she clearly wants to say these words. He does not say “no”, but for some reason “yes” cannot say. If this is an artificial intrigue, then it is extremely unsuccessful - for so long with the news that everyone is waiting, you can’t pull, the score goes on the days, and silence leads to the loss of the initiative. The initiative has already been intercepted by the press, from time to time publishing the details of the election throwing of Sobchak, primarily personnel, and the opponents of Sobchak from the opposition environment, who have repeatedly made it clear that the Sobchak was not intended to the candidate - later than all, but also, Alexei Navalny, who actually made such a situation in which Sobchak is in the polling station, and the supporters of the supporters, actually performed on this occasion. Navalny vote for her.
