Well, you see, some people still

0:02

doubted the effectiveness of our idea

0:04

of Smart Voting. We proposed that you

0:06

all unite so that together

0:09

you could vote against United Russia, and

0:11

the skeptics said, “No, it won’t work.”

0:13

Well, now Putin himself, Vladimir

0:16

Vladimirovich, and his party, United Russia,

0:19

are answering: it does work. They were so frightened by

0:23

our Smart Voting idea that

0:25

Roskomnadzor (Russia’s federal media and communications regulator)

0:27

announced that it would block our website. What’s more,

0:30

they somehow managed to hold some kind of

0:32

secret closed-door court hearing that we were not

0:35

invited to, but at which they considered

0:38

complaints from certain citizens unhappy

0:41

with the project to fight United Russia. Apparently,

0:44

they were people featured in our

0:45

investigations. So, first:

0:48

do not doubt our project, and

0:50

those of you who can still access the site, register.

0:53

Second, we are now going to

0:55

come up with a solution, and do not

0:57

doubt it—we will find one. And my dear

1:01

Putin, Medvedev, United Russia, and

1:04

Roskomnadzor, you too, please, should not

1:06

doubt it: we will find a solution and

1:09

organize consolidated Smart

1:12

Voting against you and your

1:14

candidates.
