The 2024 election race is increasingly turning into a clownery. After the predicted removal of Ekaterina Duntsova from the elections, and the hasty nomination of another “candidate from the youth,” Justice Ministry official Alexandra Tishchenko, whose supporters had to pay 3,000 rubles each, a place in the queue of losers was taken by the representative of the “New People” raised on Old Square, Vyacheslav Davankov, who promises “to promote the ideas of people who are building the future, rather than living in the past.”

In reality, the electoral system reliably protects the Main Candidate from any electoral surprises. True, by staging a circus performance instead of elections, the “curators” of this show are turning everyone who will enter the Kremlin arena in March, and therefore the future winner, into clowns. The “initiative group” for the nomination of Vladimir Putin, the composition of which was agreed upon by the AP and the FSB six months ago, is more reminiscent of a corps de ballet than a political headquarters. The head physician of Moscow Hospital No. 52 Maryana Lysenko is known for the fact that during a pandemic encouraged to vote to reset Putin’s deadlines, promising that it would be safe for health (after this, the number of victims of the pandemic in the country reached its peak). Party functionary Andrei Turchak went down in history as assassination suspect on journalist Oleg Kashin. Actor Vladimir Mashkov in the heat of political activity disowned his own daughter. The St. Petersburg friend of the president, prominent scientist Mikhail Kovalchuk, called on the country’s authorities to immediately test it on someone nuclear weapons. And the head of the “Potemkin village” called “Sirius” Elena Shmeleva uses multi-billion dollar budgets to draw on paper non-existent social elevators and springboards. In the same list of animators is former riot policeman and writer Zakhar Prilepin, who recently proposed to annex Uzbekistan by force. Who and how compiled the list of this “Putin team”, which discredits not only the idea of ​​elections, but also the candidate himself? The increasingly popular slogan of the movement of mobilized wives, “We’re in trouble,” may soon develop into “You’re in trouble,” and on election day into “Let’s go.”
