In Soviet times, I didn’t go to vote. After the collapse of the USSR, he immediately received Russian citizenship, but lived abroad. It was a hassle to get to the embassy to vote. Now, having figured that I would definitely have to live in Russia for some time, I began to create a comfortable living environment, including going to vote. Before that I wanted to become an observer, but there was a lot of work and there was no time to look for opportunities to register as an observer.

I learned today how acute the interethnic problem is, sitting in a minibus and peacefully trying to get to the Philharmonic. A “non-Russian” short man asked the driver several times to stop at some store, but the driver only hears a sound signal installed inside the car, he does not pay any attention to people’s words, and therefore drove past the place where he was asked to stop.

The transaction amount is not specified. A Facebook spokesman declined to comment to CNN about the possible purchase. “We do not comment on rumors and speculation,” he said. Gowalla representatives also did not comment on the information about the deal with Facebook.

They define their role as helping older people get to the PEC, climb the steps, or help them find themselves on the lists. They call themselves social service workers. Information about the candidates is displayed on information stands.

In a hurry, they twisted the voices for the EP, forgetting to reduce the rest, as a result, the amount of votes sharply exceeded 100%. Voronezh region: 128.96%. Sverdlovsk region: 115.35%: The Chairman of the PEC fell on falsification in favor of United Russia: The hand was caught by the stuffing for EP in Tula, 50 bulletins were taken away from the crook at once. They caught the guy on the stuffing for EP. The Chairman of the PEC tried to protect him, it did not work.

A. OREKH: So, well, friends, “Russian Bombardier”, Anton Orek, Vasily Utkin will arrive a little later, I’ll say right away, Vasya will be there, he’s already on his way.

At about 10.00 in the morning we met two students from one of the Moscow universities at a McDonald's in the Strogino area. They, looking around, explained that they needed to paste a small sticker with a green apple, which they had been given in advance, into their passports next to the photographs and moved to the first section of the route. It was secondary school No. 1519 - polling station No. 2893, located on Marshal Katukov Street, 21, building 2.

First, I informed the press secretaries of the president and prime minister that hacker attacks had been carried out on the radio station’s website and my assumptions about who was behind it and what I would do. Second, our lawyers are preparing a letter to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Central Election Commission. Third, the security service of the Gazprom group, which has many capabilities, will join the investigation.

According to our statement now the trial begins (to remove a member of the commission with the right of advisory vote from our project).

On December 4, in Moscow, supporters of the active boycott of the parliamentary elections held a civilian gathering under the slogan “People against illegal elections!”. The passage of the participants in the rally on Red Square was planned. That's what was really: 1. The activists demanded to free political prisoners, planted in their opinion illegally. 2. 3. Now the deceived equity holders of Moscow and the Moscow Region joined the "Left Front" 4. 5. 6.

Y. LATYNINA: Good evening. Yulia Latynina, “Access code”. 985-970-45-45. Today is the “Day of Silence”, and therefore we will talk about the elections in South Ossetia and the elections in Egypt. About very uplifting, I would say, topics. And before that, the story about which I have the most questions on the Internet - well, not counting the elections, which cannot be talked about.

A dangerous trend for the Russian authorities is becoming more and more clearly visible. I recently mentioned an incident in Yekaterinburg, when for political reasons they tried to prevent people from meeting with actress Rimma Markova.

In the video below are some of the first video fragments of the story of how the Nekrasov carousels covered Election Day. original

I went and voted. My conscience is clear. But the majority did not go to the polls, and, moreover, this same majority hates V.V. Putin, D.A. Medvedev, United Russia, but does not believe that if they go and vote for the party that is optimal for them, something will change. The majority do not go to the polls because they think that V.V. Putin will suppress everyone with his authoritarian power and win, in any case.

“United Russia” is gaining significantly less than in 2007. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation, on the contrary, is significantly larger than four years ago. The signal is obvious - the protest is growing, the party is not coping. What follows from this? Very important things. The main conclusion: in the next five years there will be a sharp increase in demand for a NEW MASS political party.
