Posts “For Sobyanin” began to appear en masse on popular Instagram accounts.

“More and more often I notice that Moscow has changed a lot”, “To all those who disagree - a suitcase, a train station and beyond”

Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin announced on May 26 that he was going to participate in the elections of the head of the city in September 2018. A few days earlier, posts with the hashtag #ForSobyanin began to appear on Instagram: musicians, actors and TV presenters praise Sobyanin and express support for him. In a sense, Sobyanin was supported even by Ksenia Sobchak, who participated in the presidential elections in Russia as a candidate "against all." Meduza chose the most interesting snippets from rather similar celebrity posts.

Well, it's almost September. Think well of me. I will vote #ForSobyanin and I advise you. After eating a lot of my favorite ice cream in GUM, I will walk towards the house and enjoy the beauty of our city.

Egor Creed, singer

I want to express respect to the public movement #ForSobyanin for the fact that Moscow is developing and, for sure, will leave all tourists and residents of the capital indifferent😉

... My Moscow, in which I once did not even dream of living. And every year this city is more and more beautiful and modern, because a person who doesn’t give a fuck, crossed out! Not all the same! For those who are not in the know - SS Sobyanin! And for all those who disagree - a suitcase, a train station, and beyond, to the best of their desires and finances. In general, I am happy to live here, and to people who yearn for the former mayor - my fiery revolutionary greetings! And yes, our wine too! I want this person (who does not know - SS Sobyanin) to continue to be the Mayor!

Suddenly, childhood memories flooded in… <…> From 5 to 18 years old, I walked first with my grandmother, then alone, and then the fans saw off… Oh, where are my eighteen years old!

But I also love today’s Moscow very much, the city’s leadership has done a lot lately to make #myMoscow one of the best cities on Earth!

I also crossed paths with the activities of the mayor when, inspired by my program “Older than Everyone!”, the Moscow government launched an unprecedented project “Moscow Longevity” in February, I will definitely tell you about this, I am actively involved in this important project for Muscovites, by the way, anticipating questions, on a gratuitous basis (I consider it necessary to emphasize this).

I personally suffered from traffic jams associated with the replacement of tiles. It was really hard. But when you now walk along the wide pedestrian zones, you understand what a thrill it is. Yes, maybe it would be better and without traffic jams. But the result - Moscow has changed.

Previously, the road from the studio to the house took at least an hour, but now it sometimes takes 40 minutes to get there (there are only more cars). Previously, this could only be dreamed of. Moscow today is top.

When your child grows up, and even more so begins to go to school, you begin to learn about all the sports schools, sections, and children's facilities in your area. And I can say that in Moscow there are such a huge number of them, and they are so different that the main problem is not to find them, but the problem is to choose from all the variety.

The schools themselves are more and more reminiscent of modern science centers, and inside they are futuristic objects comparable in coolness to new museums and galleries 🔭🏛

It's nice that unexpectedly, without a retinue and without the press, the Mayor of Moscow, S.S. Sobyanin, can rush into the museum. Look carefully at the exhibitions and also help with the repair and construction of a cafe, which our viewers have been waiting for for many years. On the eve of March 8, we received such a gift.

Julia Baranovskaya, TV presenter

I remember at some point I told my English friends, when they were going to go to Moscow and asked me about it, that there was only one, but a big danger in their upcoming trip. "Which?" they asked. I looked at them and said with a smile: “You will want to stay here to live!” When they returned, they said that I was absolutely right.

Elena Malysheva, TV presenter

The mayor of Moscow is a special person. He's a man! Reticent, reserved. Not words, but deeds speak for him. See how Moscow medicine has changed! Today it is the same as in Europe and America - accessible to people and free.

An athlete is inherently always a maximalist. We run forward and rarely look back. We set ourselves big tasks and are constantly at the stage of their solution. So it is in sports and in life. But sometimes you need to look around. I look around today and see unreal Moscow.
