We’re coming in from this side, and right away here
0:02
we see a United Russia member here, a United Russia guy...
0:05
Right now, we’re going to fly over one secret
0:07
place that United Russia absolutely hates
0:09
when we fly there. Hellish...
0:14
Well, elections are just around the corner, and
0:18
that means promises will soon start pouring out of
0:20
the television, and especially a lot of lies on all
0:23
channels will come from the United Russia party
0:26
I suggest we settle the issue of campaign
0:28
advertising very simply: we’ll now fly over
0:31
the country houses of the two main
0:33
United Russia figures on the list, and then form our
0:36
opinion of this party. FBK (Anti-Corruption Foundation) has already
0:38
shown photos of this dacha
0:40
cooperative organized by United Russia members
0:42
and officials from the Presidential Administration
0:44
But that was several years ago
0:46
and at that time some of the houses were only
0:47
still being built. Since then, the country has
0:49
been hit by a crisis: “there’s no money, but hang in there” (a famous phrase by former Prime Minister Medvedev),
0:51
and all that. So we’re interested to see
0:53
whether maybe these people, too, are now
0:55
feeling the crisis. Maybe paneling got more expensive, bricks
0:58
and siding too — anything can happen
1:03
So, we’re flying over the elite settlement of Sosny
1:07
A lot of people live here. There’s the deputy head of the
1:09
Presidential Administration, Prikhodko — there’s
1:11
his palace. Here are United Russia members Rudensky and
1:14
Ashlapov, but right now we’re interested in
1:17
Vyacheslav Volodin and Sergei Neverov. These are
1:20
the top United Russia figures on the election
1:23
list. Medvedev is on it too, of course, but
1:25
Medvedev won’t be going to the State Duma, while these two
1:27
will become deputies and leaders of the
1:29
State Duma. Vyacheslav Volodin
1:33
is the deputy head of the
1:35
Presidential Administration. Most likely he will become
1:37
Speaker of the Duma. Right now he is responsible for
1:39
domestic policy and, as you can see, is very
1:42
fond of unearned income. Volodin’s estate
1:45
is worth no less than 160 million rubles (about $2.5 million at the time)
1:48
This gentleman has been working as a government official for 17
1:51
years, but he still tells all sorts of
1:54
gullible fools that he made his money
1:56
in the 1990s from business in Saratov
1:59
Amazing — so many years have passed, and yet the money
2:02
from that Saratov business still hasn’t run out
2:05
A luxurious life: an estate, a helicopter
2:07
landing pad, and according to the latest disclosure,
2:10
he still has as much as 500 million rubles left in
2:13
his bank account. Our second hero is actually
2:16
a very funny guy indeed — he’s the General Secretary
2:18
of the United Russia party, Sergei
2:21
Neverov. See what they call themselves?
2:23
“General Secretary,” just like Leonid
2:26
Ilyich
2:28
Brezhnev (the Soviet leader). If there’s a chance, pause here. So,
2:31
here it is: our General Secretary
2:34
doesn’t even try to lie that
2:36
he’s a businessman, because he used to be a miner and then worked through the
2:39
trade union structure in the city of Novokuznetsk
2:41
and then went into United Russia, where he
2:43
successfully attached himself to the money trough
2:45
The crisis did not prevent our
2:48
General Secretary from finishing his estate and carrying out
2:51
expensive landscaping work on
2:53
the property. All this beauty is worth at least
2:56
120 million rubles (about $1.9 million at the time). And when we asked, “Where
3:01
did you get the money, our dear General Secretary?” he
3:04
told us in complete seriousness
3:08
that he had, little by little, all right, bought all this
3:11
with money raised from the sale of
3:14
a two-room apartment in Novokuznetsk, and
3:16
his mother-in-law also helped a bit with money. So
3:19
if you just so happen to be from
3:21
Novokuznetsk, know this: a two-room apartment in your
3:23
city is worth, well, at least around 200 million — at least, that’s what
3:25
the General Secretary of United Russia managed
3:28
to sell his for
3:30
Good mood and good health to you. And
3:32
now just imagine what kind of
3:34
crooks and swindlers the other United Russia candidates
3:37
must be, if these two main ones
3:40
live quite shamelessly on
3:42
unearned income. Where does this money come from?
3:45
It’s not hard to guess: bribes, kickbacks, off-the-books
3:48
cash, corruption in general. And United Russia is going into the Duma
3:51
for one reason only: because they want
3:53
to steal more. So if you’ve decided
3:56
to go vote after all, then vote
3:58
against United Russia and against all
4:00
United Russia candidates. These people are the worst — they’re
4:02
just a pack of crooks. And if you already
4:05
know everything we’ve told you about, then
4:07
do something useful: share
4:09
this video so that people who
4:11
are still unsure can see it too. If you agree with us,
4:13
give it a like. If you have something
4:15
to say, leave a comment. And
