Candidates no
In order to clearly tell the voter about his own agenda, you need one trifle - his own agenda. But she is not
So that citizens do not forget completely that they are not just citizens, but also voters, on TV began to show the election videos of candidates. A short video is a serious thing, the video is more important in the elections than the program. The programs of candidates are only the end to staff specialists, those who write these programs, and even political observers, perhaps, on duty. Although in this sense, the current campaign, of course, is unique: it seems the last program that was seriously discussed was the program of Alexei Navalny, which was not accepted before the election. What is the difference between the program, for example, the communist Pavel Grudinin from the communist Maxim Suraykin’s program, even Grudinin with Suraykin will not be able to tell you. But the political weight, presumably, is more than Suraykin - he has a mustache and beard, while Grudinin only has a mustache. Although in love for Generalissimus Stalin both swear with the same zeal.
But a short video, unlike a long and dull program, is a real chance to clearly tell the voter about his own agenda (although, of course, the word “voter” in the context of the 2018 elections looks completely mockingly, but there is no other, to use the structures of “Putin’s redevelopment” for a long time, and there is no need: everyone understands without additional sales). But in order to clearly tell the voter about his own agenda, you need one funny trifle - his own agenda. And with this, it seems, we have some problems.

The winner of the named after himself, the past, the present and future President of Russia Vladimir Putin, demonstrates a commendable sequence: he does not have programs, and, as it became known this week, he also refused the filming in election advertising. Even the proxies of a self-nominated candidate disappeared from sight: in Sunday final television programs, they showed a couple of times how actor Sergei Bezrukov and comedian Evgeny Petrosyan respond to calls of a headquarters hotline, and, in fact, everything.
About system parties with their candidates as the dead - either good or nothing. The LDPR agenda is thirty years old, the Academy of the Communist Party of the Communist Party - and completely one hundred. These parties are needed in order to portray parliamentarism, they will continue to portray it in post -breasted Russia, when the new Putin defeats Old Putin and finds the mistakes made by Old Putin.

Zhirinovsky honestly plays an episodic role in the staged campaign, and the Communists are not innovation, of course, that instead of Zyuganov Grudinin, but that Zyuganov, the head of the Grudinin headquarters, was tired of Klyusza for pro -government political scientists and TV presenters. Here is a fragment from a fresh complaint, for example: “Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich! The already difficult socio-economic situation in the country is aggravated. Military-political pressure and sanctions blackmail of the West in relation to Russia are growing. The extremely alarming state of affairs requires the consolidation of patriotic forces and the search for extremely responsible decisions for the country's reversal on the path of creation and progress. But such work can only be provided by abandoning services of various kinds of market extremists and political provocateurs. Including those who, in analytical and information programs, are increasingly issuing their hatred of the ideals of democracy and the social state. ” Sorry for the extensive quote, it stands by virtue of its complete anecdotality: it is not just the loyal speech of an experienced courtier in which each word is verified and all propaganda cliches in their places. This is also the appeal of the chief of the election headquarters to the main competitor of his candidate. It seems to have not been this in history.

The “Yabloko” seduces voters with a video that remained from the past parliamentary elections - thereby, where Grigory Yavlinsky sits sadly on a chair, fingering pieces of paper with optimistic inscriptions - “you can do nothing at all”. This is honest, but it’s better to do something at least something: to finish, for example, dust and a web. So it will be even more honest.
And the most honest is Boris Titov, who has a black inscription "What Titov?" On a white background. It is clear that this is a standard two -way, and then the audience will please the optimistic answers to a non -trivial question. And sorry. Any continuation will only spoil the masterpiece.
And what about Titov? What is Titov right away? Titov is like everyone else! Everyone ran in the elections to participate, and Titov ran.
And-somewhat even unexpectedly-it begins to look advantageous against the background of experienced politicians (that is, if nevertheless expressed more precisely-against the backdrop of professional participants in electoral clowern) Ksenia Sobchak. In the video, she - either in Bolotnaya, then on a single picket in Chechnya - promises the truth and freedom, forgetting, apparently, that she began a "candidate against all." In the software article “Courage and Freedom” published in RBC, he clearly discusses the dangers of the isolationist concept of a special path and directly says that Crimea is not success, but a grandiose, expensive mistake, for which Russia will have to pay for a long time.

This is a serious application for the future. A chance to fit into a system policy and gain a foothold in it, create a party, squeeze out a half-dead (or dead?) Kasyanovsky Parnassus from the stage ... and take its place, tumble in a marginal roller for liberals, who are sometimes allowed to participate in some local elections. It seems to be successful, but doubtful, even offensive, and most importantly - almost inevitable. After consent to participate in a detained campaign for the president’s renovation - further either or nothing.
There is no other place for the liberal oppositionist in the system. A real game is not inside the system, but against the system.
The winner of the election named after himself, the past, the real and future President of Russia Vladimir Putin, demonstrates a commendable sequence: he does not have programs, and, as it became known this week, he also refused to shoot in election advertising
