Soon everything will be very good. I promise. Please, for the hundred-millionth time, believe the nonsense that our "demographic programs" are responsible for the rise in the birth rate, rather than the fact that the generations of the Soviet "baby boom" are now reaching reproductive age. United Russia is no longer getting 50%+, so we’ll bring back single-member districts. How terrible that we’ve grown accustomed to corruption (Shuvalov and Golikova are applauding especially loudly). There is no place for criminals in government (the Moscow head of Dagestan’s representation office, convicted of armed robbery, is giving a standing ovation). Society needs Spiritual Bonds (a Russian conservative slogan about traditional values). To that end, we will erect monuments to the First World War and also revive the Semyonovsky Regiment and the Preobrazhensky Regiment. Vladimir Putin’s authorized representatives will receive dragoon IDs and the corresponding epaulettes.
