Now the politician has gathered 61,135 signatures, it remains - at least 38 865. At the same time, in one subject of the Russian Federation you can collect no more than 2500 signatures. How is the collection of signatures in support of Boris Nadezhdin and which of the leaders of public opinion began to openly support him - in the review material of Novaya Gazeta Europe.

Support from the opposition

Over the past days, the number of those who openly calls for a signature for the Nadezhdin’s election has grown sharply.

The politician and blogger Maxim Katz a few days ago recorded a video about the collection of signatures in Russia and drew attention to the fact that Nadezhdin still lacks them, especially from people who have regional registration. The politician urged people to come to the headquarters of Nadezhdin and leave a signature for him.

According to Katz, “the prospects of Nadezhdin as a candidate, of course, are written by water by water,” but “now we know that talking about civil apathy in Russia is very far from reality.”

“We have civilian hunger, huge hidden potential. Those opportunities that people had passed by and have not noticed by recently, will now be taken into such a turn that wool will fly along the back streets, ”Katz said.

The politician Mikhail Khodorkovsky published in a telegram channel photographs with bursts of those who want to put a signature for Nadezhdin and attached a link to the list of collection points.

“You have less than a week left to express your anti -war position in this way, even if Nadezhdin is not your candidate. In 2013, I called on the zone to vote for Alexei Navalny. I knew that he would not win, but

It was an opportunity to loudly declare his position against corrupt authorities and for changes, ”he explained .

Lawyer and politician Lyubov Sobol wrote : “Without changing my attitude to Nadezhdin, I join the calls to leave a signature for him. This can be done abroad too. The signature is not equal to the vote and does not oblige the signer to nothing, but it makes it possible to show that Russian society has a request for political representation and new votes. ”

Blogger Michael Naki supported the nomination of Nadezhdin’s presidency, noting that “he has no illusions about the March vote, which is mistakenly called“ elections ”, and“ special sympathy ”to politics. At the same time, he believes that, having subscribed to Nadezhdin, you can exert more pressure on the Russian authorities.

The former chief of Echo of Moscow, Alexei Venediktov , also wrote about the collection of signatures for Nadezhdin.

FBK director Ivan Zhdanov left an address on his Twitter page at which you can leave a signature for Nadezhdin.

Political scientist Ekaterina Shulman explained that "the signature is a small investment, and investment produces the effect of involvement."

“Any civilian move is good: the slogan of the political season is not sleeping, you will freeze!” She said, reminding that there is a mobile signator of signatures in Berlin, and in “happier cities” - and a stationary point.

Nadezhdina is also supported by Ekaterina Duntsova , whom the Central Election Commission at the end of December refused to register the initiative group for the 2024 presidential election.

“Friends, you all saw how many people are lining in line before Nadezhdin's headquarters. All these people, our like -minded people, want another candidate to appear in the ballot. A candidate who would change the existing destructive course for Russia, a candidate who could represent us all, ”she wrote in her telegram channel.

Collection of signatures

In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the plan is already overfulfilled-10323 and 6024 signatures were collected there. Everyone who has a valid internal passport of the Russian Federation can subscribe.

In Vladimir, as the local publication “argument” writes , the collection of signatures in support of Nadezhdin’s nomination was abruptly perked up just after he was supported by Katz, Naki, Khodorkovsky and Sobol. By Sunday, the local headquarters collected more than 600 signatures.

In Ufa, the head of the headquarters also said that the number of people wishing to leave the signature is growing rapidly.

The Yekaterinburg publication It's My City reports that the lines are lined up for the local headquarters of Nadezhdin for the second day in a row. People are waiting for more than an hour to support politics. On the street they are treated with hot tea. In total, about 1,500 signatures were collected in the Sverdlovsk region, journalists report.

Signatures are collected not only in Russia. For example, the collection takes place in Paris, Tbilisi, Warsaw, Amsterdam, Strasbourg, Tel Aviv, Vilnius, Bangkok, Belgrade and other cities (the full list is published on the Nadezhdin website).

In Yerevan, as Sota Vision writes , the Moskhorduma deputy Evgeny Stupin, recognized by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, “Ino -Agent”. He also called for a signature for Nadezhdin.

Nadezhdin calls himself a fundamental opponent of politics by Vladimir Putin. “Putin sees the world from the past and drags Russia into the past. Russia needs the future - the future of the country to be equal to, and to which free and educated people want to return or move, ”the site says.

The politician also openly criticizes the war in Ukraine: “Putin made a fatal mistake, starting his. None of the stated goals have been fulfilled. And it is hardly feasible without great damage to the economy and an irreparable blow to the demography of Russia. ”
