Our fellow citizens are developing an increasingly accurate understanding of what the power of the Kremlin crooks rests on.
*For the first time in 12 years, the number of citizens who believe that Vladimir Putin himself bears responsibility for Russia’s problems has exceeded 50%. According to sociologists at the Levada Center, the mechanism by which all achievements are credited to the top leader while responsibility is shifted onto lower-level officials is breaking down. *At the same time, a record 45% of citizens now consider United Russia to be a "party of crooks and thieves"**. This is excellent news.
Of course, we cannot claim full credit for these achievements. The Chief Thief, V. V. Putin, and his party, United Russia, are also working day and night to reinforce our slogan by their usual methods: they lie, they steal, they hand out endless promises, and they live in luxury, pretending to be Arab sheikhs. For example, the certified “fighter” against “corruption,” former “president” “Medvedev,” has also decided to throw up a little dacha for himself. As usual, it’s being built through some shady foundation, but the whole place is guarded by the FSO (Russia’s Federal Protective Service). Very well disguised, supposedly.
In this case, the residents of Plyos don’t need any DMP at all: within the town limits, birch groves where locals used to relax and gather mushrooms were cut down. People tried to stop the illegal logging. They were told that little Ilyusha Medvedev is allergic to birch trees. But DMP is also making its own small contribution to the great cause of public enlightenment. Anyone can join in. It’s very simple and easy, and it works effectively. For example, let me remind you about our miracle posters: http://er.mashina.org/ - "United Russia and Housing Utilities," our hit. 103,860 downloads http://5000000.mashina.org/ - "Fighting Slander Against United Russia." 23,020 downloads. (By the way, the figures in the leaflet need to be updated to reflect the new polling data. We’ll do that.) http://foreignagent.mashina.org/ - "Exposing a Foreign Agent." 39,580 downloads. With the start of September, when everyone returns home from their dachas and vacations and finds themselves trapped once again in the entryways, elevators, and bulletin boards of apartment buildings, we will have to double our efforts—but we’ll get four times the result. Update: Definitely read this. What’s especially rich is deputy Isaev, that “fighter” “for the rights” of the “working” people, with his plot of land in Germany.
