Before the elections to the state Duma is about a month, and according to opinion polls, United Russia is guided to take an absolute majority in the Parliament (roughly half of Russians do not trust the polls, but they trust the Central election Commission).
However, almost no one from voting (including from the electorate of the EP) are not familiar with the electoral program of the party, although the link to it on the main page. However most likely not familiar to the applicant from EP, and certainly they would be very surprised if they knew that it offered, for example, “to build on the achievements of the reform of the competitive political system 2012-2015” (whatever that means), and doctors and University professors by 2018 promise to raise the salary to 200% of the average wage in the region (Hello Dmitry Medvedev).
But if the candidates themselves do not know their program, how to understand what policies they will pursue in the next convocation? The Insider has made a selection of the most striking political statements of the current candidates on the basis of which it is possible to assume, what they will do in the next Duma really is.
1. To stop funding HIV treatment.
German Avdyushin, the head of the OOD the all-Russian parent meeting, regional group No. 9 (Sverdlovsk oblast)
“I’m the education technician, but on duty a doctor. See, everything needs to be science. AIDS is the opening of our scientists made back in the 1970-ies, against nobody argues. There is only one photo of HIV 2004 or 2005 — they say it’s a virus that photographed in an electron microscope. But when the scientists from the Perth group have estimated this photo, it turned out that it’s just a picture of the protein. All these tests show the remains, the scraps of viruses and what — nobody really knows. The immune system is so perfect! If this was not big money! It is about 38 billion rubles in the year — someone from that kind of money refuse? I don’t have to convince you that HIV is not, and you have to convince me that he is.”
2. To limit public procurement of condoms.
Gennady Onischenko, assistant of Dmitry Medvedev, Moscow, Tushinskaya single-mandate electoral district No. 206
“Condoms are irrelevant to the health of not have it [the limitation of government procurement] are simply forced to be more disciplined, more strict and selective in choosing partners, and maybe will provide some service to our society in terms of addressing the demographic problem.
3. To return the criminal article for homosexuality.
Evgeny Marchenko, Saint Petersburg, North single-mandate electoral district No. 213
“Homosexuals are carriers of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. I believe that homosexuality causes pedophilia, since gay people often climb to the children. In addition, among homosexuals, the high level of crime, they are each other jealous, and already there were a lot of murders because of jealousy in their environment. Among homosexuals thrive alcoholism and drug addiction. Many of them commit suicide or are treated in mental hospitals. In Soviet times there was an article for homosexuality. I would have returned it and flesh it out a ban for people on certain types of activities: teaching, medicine, politics, the civil service”.
4. To freeze prices and there are nettles.
Evgeny Shulepov, mayor of Vologda, Vologda single-mandate electoral district No. 85
“Pricing agreement (with retailers) will allow us to stabilize the price of food. We need to help the population cope with this situation and to survive this difficult time. It is clear that spring will come — go on a nettle and it will be easier. But until spring still have to live”
5. The return of polygamy.
Ramzan Kadyrov, head of Chechen Republic, a regional group # 27
“We in Chechnya, more women than men. But they all have to be settled in life. Polygamy is allowed by our customs, our religion. On the other hand, if a young girl or a divorced woman sleeps around, then her brother kills her and her man. We have a very harsh customs. Better for a woman to be a second or third wife than to be killed. So I believe that today we need polygamy. There is no such law, but I say to all, who have the desire and opportunity, it is necessary to take a second wife.”
6. To enter ownership rights to women.
Ramzan Kadyrov, head of Chechen Republic, a regional group # 27
“I have a right to criticize the wife. The wife has not. We have a housewife. A woman should know her place. The property must be a woman. And the man is the owner. We have, if a woman walks naked, if she’s behaving incorrectly, the answer is a husband, father and brother.”
7. To Rehabilitate Joseph Stalin.
Elena Yampolskaya, the editor in chief of the newspaper “Culture”, regional group # 10 (Kurgan oblast, Chelyabinsk oblast)
“Russia is able to hold above the abyss of the two forces. The first is called God. The Second Stalin.”
8. To prevent a holiday abroad.
Victor Vodolatsky, ataman calls himself a “Donskoy’s vseveliky army”, regional group No. 25 (the Republic of Kalmykia, Stavropol Krai, Astrakhan oblast, Rostov oblast)
“State and municipal officials, especially in new year holidays, when various incidents happen, needs to be within reach of your seat. Nothing to do abroad, in Russia there is a great place to stay. To exclude provocation against our officials abroad using restrictive exit measures.”
9. Not to teach foreign languages.
Irina Yarovaya, regional group №1 (Kamchatka Krai, Khabarovsk Krai, Amur oblast, Magadan oblast, Jewish Autonomous oblast, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug)
“During training at our school the child is studying Russian language in the amount of 866 hours, and foreign — 939 hours. While the Ministry of education intends to enter a mandatory exam for foreign language and learning a second language. Citizens of a country do we grow? Maybe not the Russian government is the customer of educational programs? Then what is it?”
10. To ban pokemon.
Yevgeny Fyodorov, the leader of NOD, regional group # 19 (Vologda oblast, Kaliningrad oblast, Novgorod oblast, Pskov oblast)
“It’s an organizational thing that is associated with the fact that people move through the streets, and when properly organized, this game, as the organizers emphasize, are officially not in Russia – people can be properly on the street to concentrate. To organize a provocation: and here you are running a modern, advanced mechanisms of the disorder. Pokemon Go appeared in Russia in the context of elections.”
