10 September. Ballot box - against Vladimir Putin, John Terry - against CSKA and Zenit

protest vote. Yesterday, a single voting day was held in Russia - 22 heads of regions, 16 regional parliaments and all sorts of little things were elected. The main surprise in the elections was the low results of the party in power - in three regions, United Russia received fewer deputy mandates than the Communist Party. And at four o'clock, apparently, the second round of the gubernatorial elections will take place - we, frankly, have already begun to forget what it is.

Protests against the backdrop of the vote. Some of the supporters of Alexei Navalny, who were not detained at the protests yesterday, decided to stage an "indefinite protest . " They declare that they will not leave Strastnoy Boulevard in Moscow until the authorities resign (wish they had tried to do this in January!!!!). With the police, the score is still 2:2: they stood - they were detained - they returned - they were detained .

Protest in the voting hall. President Vladimir Putin yesterday was able to vote in the election of the mayor of Moscow (I wonder for whom?) only the third time - a ballot box protested against him, which refused to accept a ballot, telling the president that he was of "unspecified form." Now over the attempted uprising of the machines to the full joke on the Internet .

A famous athlete from the USA moves to the Moscow region (now he is a deputy). American fighter MMA (mixed martial arts) Jeffrey Monson won elections to the city council of Krasnogorsk near Moscow. Monson received Russian citizenship in May, won the United Russia primaries in June, and now he is a deputy - his career in Russian politics is developing even more successfully than in MMA!

A famous athlete from England moves to Moscow (fortunately, he is still a football player). Chelsea legend and longtime England captain John Terry is apparently moving to Spartak Moscow - the transfer has not yet been officially announced, but the British media write about it as a done deal. First Claudio Marchisio at Zenit, now Terry at Spartak — what's going on?!

Play football, don't become deputies. Grisha Levchenko, Sasha Polivanov
