Let’s Remind the Crooks and Thieves of Their 2002 Manifesto
Text version
0:01
In 2002, you were solemnly promised that
0:06
by 2004, every resident of Russia would
0:11
pay half as much for heating and electricity
0:13
as they do now. In 2005,
0:17
every resident of Russia would receive their
0:20
share of the proceeds from the use of Russia’s natural resources.
0:23
In 2006, everyone would have
0:26
a job in their profession. By 2008, every
0:30
family would have its own
0:32
comfortable, well-equipped housing worthy of
0:34
the third millennium, regardless of
0:37
their income level. By 2008, Chechnya
0:40
and the entire North Caucasus would become
0:43
a tourist and resort mecca in
0:45
Russia. By 2010, a transport corridor would be built linking
0:49
St. Petersburg,
0:52
Anadyr, Tokyo, Vladivostok, Brest, and
0:54
other cities by 2017. Russia would be a leader
0:59
in global politics and the world economy.
1:06
They didn’t just lie — they brought the country
1:09
to such a state that now these and
1:13
any other promises seem like nothing more than
1:16
mockery, and no one believes them
1:19
anymore. Do you really want
1:21
them to come to power again? Are you still
1:24
prepared to calmly watch as they
1:26
rob and destroy your country? You personally
1:29
can do something that is easily
1:32
within your power. If you want to strike a blow against
1:34
the crooks and thieves, come to the polls and
1:38
vote for any party other than
1:41
United Russia. And help spread
1:44
this video among your friends, acquaintances, and family,
1:47
or at least try to get across verbally
1:49
this obvious truth to them: United Russia is the party
1:53
of crooks and thieves. With a party of crooks and
1:56
thieves, Russia definitely has no future.
