One of the main achievements of our election campaign is that we brought politics back. People have long been sick of all these so-called "political" "technologies." All those promo girls in branded jackets, earning 300 rubles an hour, who do not care whether they are handing out brochures for a perfume store or a mayoral candidate’s platform. Whatever an election campaign may be like—high-tech or improvised, expensive or cheap—its main element is still people persuading other people. That is what politics is:*** people come together to go out into the street and convince other people of something***. That is why we set up our AgitCubes. Committed people come there to persuade others. It is the most proper, most necessary, and most inspiring kind of political work.
Thousands of people have already helped us by taking one, two, or three shifts at an AgitCube. Some have even done twenty shifts. We are entering the final stretch of the campaign. We need more volunteers. We need more people ready to go out into the street and persuade others. We have conducted a lot of research, and we know for certain that this kind of campaigning is effective. It really works. You are not just standing there—you are bringing in new voters. People need advice when making an important political choice, and you are giving it to them. And people do listen, even if sometimes it seems as though they are walking past indifferently, absentmindedly taking a leaflet. Come campaign at the cubes. Just choose the cube you like on the map and sign up as a campaigner. Go out into the street and do politics.
