#ShameReview from "NotMoscow": special issue
The first day of voting is gradually drawing to a close. And, of course, the Russian election process itself is a cringe-inducing experience, but we've also found other reasons for smirking and nervous laughter.
🤯 Belarusian prankster Vladislav Bohan joked over Arkhangelsk He approached the teachers and introduced himself as a candidate in the elections. The teachers dutifully complied with his demands—they held a staff meeting and posted information about the "candidate" on a notice board in the staff room.
🤯 In Izhevsk intercoms in apartment buildings are encouraging people to go to the polls:We are waiting for you at the polling station on the 9th and 10th." — a female voice chatters over the intercom as a resident enters the building.
🤯 And in Moscow The A Just Russia party is actively supporting its candidate in the capital's mayoral elections.
“Comrade Gusev, just tell me where to take the cartridges.
Moscow has been rebuilt, dug up,
Let's unload her, my dear,
After all, we have only one defense for Moscow,
Comrade Gusev, Comrade Gusev”, — a fellow party member sings to synchronized applause in a video posted online Dmitry Gusev.
🤯 Residents of a Krasnoyarsk village Semennikovo Ekaterina and Mikhail voted immediately after their wedding ceremony, without changing their clothes. A family from the city did the same. Borodino.
🤯 They drove not only public sector workers and newlyweds to the elections in Russia, but also pirates... Vladivostok The Admiral hockey club's mascot visited the polling station PiratechI voted and dropped the ballot in the basket—is that even possible?
🤯 It wasn't all about the pirates. Pskov Princess Olga, as social media users speculated, also voted in the elections. Against the backdrop of the church, the inscription "Russia begins here" is also featured online. This is how the local territorial electoral commission advertised the DEG.
