There is unanimity and prosperity in the country - preliminary results of the State Duma elections: turnout - 62%, "United Russia" - 63.2% of votes, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - 11.7%, LDPR and "A Just Russia" received almost the same result - 8.4 % and 8% of votes.

She ran the “Chekist hook” across her own torso, right into the solar plexus, and when she bent in half, she hooked herself in the jaw with her fist from below - it was so nice, it cracked. Churov, shaking his beard, honestly counted and spanked with his lips.

Moreover, it is interesting that few people doubt the veracity of the facts presented.

The main task of the opposition today is to nominate a single candidate for the presidency of the Russian Federation, says one of the leaders of the Union of Rightist Forces, Boris Nemtsov. “The three of us - Garry Kasparov, Vladimir Ryzhkov and I - have already begun negotiations on this matter.
