We were supposed to do a few simple things:<\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li> Show online how fraud is being prepared, including reporting to the polling station level what the turnout and number of votes for United Russia should be;<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> Proceedings should already have been opened against candidates for deputies, members of commissions, etc.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> A series of appeals to our citizens who live there should be made (including an address by the president).<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> A major information campaign should be carried out by our embassies.<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<p> There were a number of other proposals, but there&#8217;s no point in waving your fists after a fight. Unfortunately, we gave up this battlefield without a fight. Now it&#8217;s important to play the ending to the fullest.<\/p>\n<p> If we look more broadly, the elections in Russia are a kind of Rubicon after which three important processes can begin: personnel changes, mobilization, and deterioration of life.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>The materials published in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section reflect the opinion of the author of the publication, who bears full responsibility for the veracity of the information.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>The editorial staff of prm.ua may not share the opinions expressed in the author&#8217;s material.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>The owner of the webpage in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section is the author of the publication.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unfortunately, the Ukrainian state missed the Russian elections as an &#8220;unimportant&#8221; phenomenon.
