An excellent report has been released by Boris Nemtsov.
The Life of a Galley Slave. A superb piece of campaign material for “those who aren’t online.” We’ve all seen photos and videos of all those watches, yachts, and palaces a million times already. But a worker at Uralvagonzavod (a major Russian industrial manufacturer) will likely be very interested to learn that the total value of our Chief Thief’s wristwatches is 22 million rubles.
They do not appear in the official declarations, nor are they registered as gifts, yet somehow the man still manages to come up with hundreds of thousands of euros for such things. Perhaps he even moonlights at Uralvagonzavod on the night shift. Everyone already knows corruption is corruption. But it works better with pictures. In short, this report is highly recommended for printing and distributing.
It is available in various formats here: http://www.putin-itogi.ru/rab-na-galerah/ and on the DMP website. Here is a good poll on the subject as well. Let’s send some approval Boris Nemtsov and his co-author Leonid Martynyuk’s way, and we have also decided to launch a small DMP campaign in support of the report. Feel the difference. Print out and post in your apartment building entrance this modest leaflet about the difficult, hardship-filled life of the chief United Russia man, V. V. Putin.
It works extremely well. Unfortunately, for reasons of decency, I can’t quote the words the focus group participants use in reaction to the leaflet. Just trust me—it works. It stirs up hatred toward the social group “the country’s corrupt president, gone completely wild from his own impunity” to a remarkable degree. Go there, print it, distribute it. And don’t forget that on 1September 5, we are all meeting.
