I want to address the guys from Dagestan.
0:03
In fact, not only Dagestanis,
0:07
not just the guys, and not only
0:09
to Dagestanis, but also to Chechens and Ingush,
0:11
to residents of Kabardino-Balkaria and North
0:14
Ossetia, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, all those
0:17
republics where elections have for many years
0:20
not even been rigged anymore.
0:21
There, the local authorities simply pull
0:24
some number out of thin air, make it up, and then
0:26
enter it into the official record and announce:
0:28
"In Tatarstan, 82 percent of voters turned out,"
0:31
and Ingushetia replies, "Well, we had
0:34
86," and Dagestan says, "And we had 91."
0:38
Chechnya says, "And we had 99.6." And that's it.
0:46
One hundred percent of the people in these republics
0:49
of course know that this is fake. In fact,
0:51
not just in the republics — across the whole country people know
0:54
that it's a forgery, a fake, a scam. But
0:57
I have a feeling that not all
0:59
residents
1:00
of Dagestan, Chechnya, or Tatarstan
1:03
are happy with this situation, because it has
1:06
turned into the same kind of humiliating
1:08
joke — "fair elections in Makhachkala" (the capital of Dagestan), haha.
1:15
The assumption is that, for some reason, everyone in
1:17
Makhachkala is interested in
1:20
rigging elections. Personally, I don't think so.
1:37
When I was preparing to record this video,
1:39
quite a lot of people told me that I would be
1:42
doing something pointless
1:43
and that under no circumstances would we
1:46
be able to find even
1:48
any significant number of
1:50
observers in the national republics
1:52
and especially in the North Caucasus. But I still
1:56
decided to take the risk, and that's why I'm appealing to you.
1:59
Yes,
2:02
we really do want to organize election monitoring where it has never worked before.
2:05
I believe it is even
2:07
more important there than in the rest of Russia.
2:10
Because these so-called
2:13
presidential elections are, in essence, simply
2:15
Putin's reappointment. They are fake across all of Russia,
2:18
but in the Caucasus and in all
2:22
the national republics especially.
2:25
If across Russia we are urging people
2:27
to boycott this process, not to go
2:30
to it, and to urge their neighbors not to go
2:32
to the polling stations, then in the Caucasus it's all the more appropriate to do so.
2:34
Because there people understand perfectly well
2:38
what fake elections with
2:40
a predetermined result are. Despite these
2:43
huge percentages, in reality
2:46
even fewer people go to polling stations there
2:48
than in the rest of Russia, and we need
2:51
you
2:52
to document these
2:55
facts. And if you live in one of the
2:58
federal subjects where voter turnout
3:00
in elections is over 70 percent — which means
3:03
it has been falsified in the most brazen way —
3:05
then you are especially needed for our
3:09
election monitoring project. Follow this link,
3:12
it's in the video's description, sign up and
3:15
work with us.
3:16
It doesn't matter what your political views are.
3:18
Right now, we are not working for any
3:20
political force. On March 18, we will together
3:24
try to stop them from faking
3:26
the turnout, and our common enemy is the fraudsters,
3:30
the falsifiers, and the people who humiliate
3:33
entire nations by trying to prove to everyone
3:35
around them
3:36
that these peoples are either incapable of or unwilling
3:39
to
3:39
count those who came more or less
3:42
honestly. Many thanks in advance to everyone who
3:45
takes part. Subscribe to our channel —
