The elections to the State Duma quarreled the opposition to death

The authorities did not go to any compromises. The strip was carried out thorough and livestock. Not a single candidate whose position on key political issues appears the slightest doubt was included in the new composition of the lower house of the parliament. This time, an electronic vote was used as the last filter. With his help, the apple -in -laws, the apple, Sergei Mitrokhin, member of the Maxim Katz Anastasia Bryukhanov, a member of the Communist Party of the Communist Party, Mikhail Lobanov and several more communist candidates, who had previously leaded over an offline vote. It is clear that in this case, the party belonging of cleaners worried in the second place. The factor of supporting one or another candidate with a smart vote came to the fore. The Kremlin was to fundamentally demonstrate the inefficiency of this strategy.

It would seem that in a situation of total defeat, the side that suffered a crushing defeat draws conclusions from what happened and tries to find some new ways and methods. But this is not the currently busy domestic democrats - they continue to fiercely attack each other. Conflicts flared up in several planes at once. Supporters of participation in the Putin elections are not shy in expressions, characterizing those who called for abandoning this practice; Apologists of UG morally destroy those who declare the inability to vote for ideological opponents; The Yabloko supported are stiffly obstructed by Navalnists because of the position of the party in Alexei Navalny. Conflicts arose inside the districts. Thus, those who supported Anastasia Bryukhanova are accused of Marina Litvinovich of not having removed her candidacy and thereby, supposedly, cleared the way to the Duma, Galina Khovanskaya candidate. In a word, if during these elections someone in the Kremlin formulated the goal of making a split into the domestic opposition as an additional task, then the authorities achieved undoubted success.

Meanwhile, some general conclusions in hot pursuit could already be made. The main on the surface - no most sophisticated input technologies can turn out to be effective if the regulator has the opportunity to change the result at the output. It doesn’t matter in what way - remote voting, “carousels”, mass stuffing, rewriting protocols, intimidating observers. The second important conclusion - the opposition has no way to prevent falsification in the elections. Many will not agree with this thesis, but many years of practice testifies to this-according to the little things, something was able to repel something, in large elections-never. And then another question automatically arises - is it worth, in principle, to participate in these elections. A difficult, by the way, is a question. So I would answer him positively if several conditions are met.

It is possible to participate in the Putin elections if the democratic public managed to achieve a representative office. That is, conditions were created under which the authorities lost the opportunity to refuse opposition candidates in registration. In addition, at all stages of the campaign, opposition candidates must explain to their voters that now in Russia it is completely not enough just to come to the polling station and lower their ballot into the urn. Then you will inevitably have to defend your voice on the street, otherwise it will probably be stolen.

In fact, there are still a lot of issues that today, after the end of this shameful circus representation, could discuss opponents of the current government. But there is no time for them, they continue to sort things out among themselves.
