How unexpected

Putin announced his intention to participate in action, which for some reason calls the elections.

Now the company of participants is almost completely defined, the same persons as 6 years ago, 2 frank elders - Zhirinovsky (71 years old) and Zyuganov (73 years old) who go to the elections purely out of habit and to give her legitimacy, we will usually not hear from them a word of reproach against the current president, so, the criticism of the government, mutual watering of each other's mud and liberals who are not in the presidential elections at all. participate. Who else is - Mironov, a man with a zero rating who, by his own admission, voted for Putin in his last election. Yavlinsky and Sobchak are capable of some real actions, sentences and criticism, but they have one big minus - they need to collect signatures in their support, I remind you that Yavlinsky in the past elections did not allow the signature to the election, and he was the only candidate who severely criticized power. This can happen again and now everything will depend on how obediently these candidates will behave at the initial stage. Another foot of Titov, who will probably be hung in the elections by the ears.

Putin is essentially already his fifth term, now 65 years (now it is understood why Zhirinovsky and Zyuganov have been drawn to the elections again), despite the fact that the retirement age in Russia is 60 years old, in 2017 they increased the retirement age of state -friendly to 65, but Putin has already exceeded this age, and by the end of the term he will be 71 years old, this will be significantly higher than the average life expectancy of men in Russia. What to wait, from the new period of the old president. Nothing good, judging by the dynamics of his own reign in the last 17 years. The 1st term (2000-2004) the country had a strong economic race, continued in the 2nd period (2004-2008), and in the 3rd (2008-2012), where Putin was a premiere, a full failure-GDP growth was only 0.5%, the 4th period is no better. Those. According to the most important indicator (GDP) over the past 8 years, the country has no achievements, actually zero growth, and this indicator directly affects all the rest, during which time the world economy has grown by 20%. The whole last term of Putin was a decline in real incomes of the population and the growth of the poor share, but they somehow did not particularly talk about it, because we have other “important” summons: Donbass, Syria, the bridge to the Crimea, sanctions, US elections, and pressure on RT.

Now there will be 4 months of playing one gate, all the media vying will praise Putin, he will intensely make promises (I advise you to read what he promised there in 2012), the opponents will be given several minutes of broadcast in the programs after midnight, NTV will release a couple more films about the sales opposition, RTR will be imprisoned for the corruption of some minister, or for the corruption of some minister or Governor. They are beating inflation, they will give rise exactly by March. In principle, as always.
