Seems that they just agreed to stay out of the action. I guess they like Putin. And according to you, Trump likes Putin. Maybe Trump and Apple and Google are all Putin supporters together?!?!

Tiberius Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 The NRA has a candidate in the Russian Ruling Parties faux election Quote To retain control, United Russia has gone all out—and taken election shenanigans in Putin’s sham democracy to another level. Within the party, the last vestiges of independence have been purged. Oksana Pushkina, the lone progressive member who spent her last term in the Duma campaigning for women’s rights and legislating against domestic violence (which made her the target of a relentless harassment campaign), isn’t running. She has been replaced in her district by a nationalist, pro-Putin singer, who, barring an upset, will gain Pushkina’s seat. Pushing out professional legislators, United Russia has filled its ticket with assorted celebrities and pro-Kremlin activists. One is Maria Butina, who famously liaised with the U.S. National Rifle Association ahead of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, spent several months in a U.S. prison for failing to register as a foreign agent, and was deported back to Russia. United Russia’s list also contains some political heavyweights, such as Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Neither is campaigning; their presence on the ticket can be understood as an attempt to impart some of their personal popularity on the increasingly unloved ruling party. https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/09/16/russia-election-duma-putin/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
