It is unlikely that anyone expects such a comment from me, but in order not to get up twice, as they say, and after a fight, do not swing your fists, especially if there was none this time. Many of you complain that you don't elect the mayor, but the deputies. I myself conducted a survey on my page, the results of which suggest the following. In direct elections, the current mayor will be re-elected without much organizational hassle. Someone will be upset by this fact, someone will happily applaud. I personally would be happy with the result that my sociology promised me. At the same time, I am sure that Shivgeny Goncharov, had he been among the top three winners of the election, would have convincingly won the support of his long-term and loyal supporters. Something else is bad. Neither I, nor Goncharov, nor Mebrin would have become the mayor, not at all because of the tricks and tricks of the current elite of Magnitogorsk. There are loyal supporters of the government, I would say, in independent numbers. And it really stabilizes the present as it is. The problem is different. The present, which is not bad for loyal citizens, does not develop into a better future for any of us together. It just goes on as long as possible. But it is not Berdnikov and Morozov, and not even the honorable Viktor Filippovich, who are in control of adapting to a future different from what it is now. This faucet at the beginning of a new cycle is in the position of such city dwellers who calmly declare that they will not go to the polls, who proudly admit that they would have voted against everyone. And even only those who did not respond to the invitation to participate in the survey. Therefore, my goal for the next few years is not to raise my ranking. And reduce the number of those who care about a lamp and a flashlight.
