      His subsidiaries would probably make it more believable, like 60-70%, but yeah, it’s not a presidential election but Рutin’s election.

      Our social media, physical advertising boards, proposed meetings with administration for all have as much frequency as those ads for joining army in the 2022, some of them even replacing the latter. It seems, they strive for voters even believing in these elections at least that much to drop a paper in a bucket. I haven’t noticed that much of that lust for any vote previously.

      Seems like they are a little afraid of indifference they carefully created. At least I hope so.

    As depressing as it is, she’s effectively asking Russians to volunteer themselves for prison. Don’t get me wrong, I completely sympathize and agree with her… But it’s got to be a tough sell for many Russians.
