Four pairs of selected candidates - and there is a Kremlin project, and quite simple
Of the officials, more honestly about the upcoming elections, the head of the CEC of the Russian Federation Ella Pamfilova speaks, oddly enough. A couple of weeks ago, for example, when journalist Ekaterina Gordon changed her mind, saying that she did not want to participate in the show and farce, Pampilova answered with all possible directness: “If you participate in the show and farce, then in the most interesting part.” And now, after the election commander completed the verification of signatures handed over by candidates, the chairman of the commission rejoices again: “The main intrigue that leading political scientists argued about in recent months - how many candidates will be in the electoral ballot.”
Indeed, can there be any other intrigues in the elections?
The list finally admitted to participate in the elections is now known, the last questions have disappeared. It doesn’t matter after all, honestly or dishonestly collected signatures by those who are supposed to collect them by law (that is, all candidates, except for representatives of parliamentary parties - Vladimir Zhirinovsky and Pavel Grudinin). Contrary to the statements of individual slanderers, it can be assumed that part, and it is possible that a significant part, these signatures are collected without any violations, various miracles happen in the world. Only one thing is important - how these signatures are checked. The decision on whose signatures is considered correct, and whose are the wrong, always political, in fact, this is another filter for cutting off unwanted candidates.
No one was cut off. Everything, it turns out, desirable or even desired. Talking about who is the Kremlin project and who is proud and independent can already be completed. This whole list of eight people is the Kremlin project, and quite simple. Like a menu in fast food. For the old liberals that have not yet betrayed the ideals of perestroika, publicity and, possibly, acceleration, the unbending Grigory Yavlinsky. For new liberals that have not yet accumulated memories, the bold and principled Ksenia Sobchak. For connoisseurs of traditions - Fiery Zhirinovsky, eternal as a homeland. He seems to have always been here. Participated in all elections of all levels. He danced at Stalin's dacha with Nikita Khrushchev. He took the winter and, by order of Paul, the first to jump with the Cossacks to wash his boots in the Indian Ocean. What is there - when Rurik came to the Slavs, not only Gostomysl met him, but also Zhirinovsky. On the move, he suggested that he fucking in the Khazar Kaganate. Just Nestor with Karamzin was shy about this.

For faithful Leninians, as well as new left -wing, lusting communism with a human face, there is a strawberry billionaire Pavel Grudinin. And if for whom Grudinin is too pink - there is Maxim Suraykin, the leader and the only member of the Russian Party, known to science. It is redder than blood, even redner than the red half -dry, his program in the Duma elections was called “Ten Stalin's Blows”. Or fifteen. Or a hundred. Who cares. He himself did not read it. Boris Titov, unemployed intellectuals from among the moderately right-Sergey Baburin, gives a positive signal to business elites. Only after all, they remember who it is. And all these seven bold ones are only needed to solve one difficult problem: at all costs to lure more people on the sections on March 18, give the only real candidate the opportunity to feel how important his elections are for the country. After all, we have a sentimental, the only real candidate. It happened, even cried in public, giving free rein to feelings.

There is a great temptation to defeat this noble assembly by pairs. To decorishly, holding hands, go to the polls like children in the camp - for lunch. The communist and the communist, liberal and liberal, the thundering Zhirinovsky and the quietest Titov, the National Leader Putin and the national empty place - Baburin. There are other possibilities for comparing steam: the mustachioed Grudinin can take the mustachioed Baburin, the bearded Yavlinsky - the bearded Titov, the supersverse Zhirinovsky - the unknown to the Suraykin world, and the processor and the godson will be closed, demonstrating the unity of the old St. Petersburg and the new St. Petersburg, despite the presence of some minor contradictions.
And since all, all sorts of, that is, of course, the candidates here in pairs, it means that this is an ark. It is the ark that he builds, this is the essence of the project. And who builds an ark - he is waiting for the flood.
