While the official propaganda is drooling with pleasure, describing winning percentages and unprecedented unity of the crowds around the polling stations, in the old square they are silently cursing and counting completely different numbers. As the source of the Cheka-OGPU said, behind the closed doors of the Kremlin offices there is a deafening gloom. The latest election farce has been declared a failure by the main unspoken indicator - the people totally, totally, don't care. The system built by the visionaries from the Kremlin has finally reached its ideal: the result is planned even before the beginning, the civil servants are rounded up, the DEG pulls to the end. But here's the thing: the end of the population stopped even pretending to take part in the show. The closed sociology brought to the table of the interior policy curators threw the technologists into a cold sweat. Citizens not only do not believe in "elections" - they are completely confused about them. When the State Duma, regional legislative assemblies and city councils were thrown together in one day, the result was an indistinguishable gray mess. The average person at the ballot box simply did not understand who all these talking heads at the ballot box were, where they were elected and why they even exist in this world. And the Kremlin elders desperately need the illusion of people's love. It is necessary for the slave to go to the polls not only under the cane of the head of the Housing Bureau, but also with a nagging secret feeling: "What will happen if something depends on me? " Without this therapeutic self-deception, all the trappings of a sovereign democracy look very pathetic and cardboard. The normal way to get out of the impasse is clear to anyone with a mind: bring in the real opposition, register live parties and return at least a semblance of intrigue to the election race. But for the Kremlin residents, putting live people into the clearing is a nightmare and an attack on the sacred. As a result, the geniuses of cutting the internal political technology found their own, purely bureaucratic recipe. The idea of ​​spreading the elections over time and burying a single voting day for the Duma 2031 campaign is now being seriously discussed.
