Is it realistic for your boyfriend to become the president of Russia? Maybe he already knows how he will achieve this, and what he will campaign for?

If nothing changes in the electoral legislation, he will have to run as a self-nominated candidate. This means collecting 300 thousand signatures for nomination across numerous regions within completely ridiculous timeframes. Even Navalny at the beginning of the year might have found this task insurmountable, though he wasn’t even given the chance to try.

Even if my numbers continue to grow at the previous rate of 100% per year for all six years, by the next presidential election they will amount to 32 thousand people. This is a perfectly sufficient number of volunteers for a campaign, but to finance it, the number of active supporters around this core needs to be increased by about ten times.

It is unrealistic to gather such resources entirely on our own. The task becomes more feasible if my boyfriend runs as a single opposition candidate based on the results of primaries across the entire liberal front. Paradoxically, there is a chance here, because the greater the dissatisfaction with the authorities, the higher the chances for radical candidates, while the more moderate ones will have to step aside.
So, to nominate a libertarian candidate for President of the RF, I just need to become the most prominent of the liberal opposition parties, and perhaps a small “dream-crusher” machine.

As for the question of what to campaign for, no maneuvers are needed here: exactly for the same libertarian values as now.

Apple-chan

I’ve already written a couple of times about the misadventures of Yabloko-chan regarding the face-control at the Moscow mayoral election club. She simply couldn’t decide which little dress to wear to be let into the club, so she told everyone to go to hell and went to the beach instead.

The right decision. Face-control at the entrance to public places is complete madness, and it’s better not to get in at all than to go and play the role of the ugly friend.

But my sympathy would be far more sincere if, in turn, Yabloko-chan herself hadn’t refused to put in a good word for me before the municipal deputy elections in Vnukovskoye. No matter; in the worst case, I’ll run as a self-nominated candidate.
