Elections or referendum
–
Yes, this is not a referendum or a referendum. Logically, such a problem should be clarified by interviewing fellow citizens. If this measure were a referendum, then international observers and many other people would be needed, which Putin (obviously) does not like. Instead, the Russians are being offered an “all-Russian election,” a brand new discovery and unusual wording that will make it easier for Putin to carry out a constitutional coup in Russia. In your favor.

59% of Russians believe that Putin is a good president

That’s enough to win. Although Putin has had much better popularity in the past. Now the Kremlin’s chief needs the people to say that he agrees with the new constitution, even though it has long been written, passed, voted in the corridors of power and has actually come into force. So far, there are no signs that Alexei Navalny’s calls for a boycott of the measure could change the daily routine of Russia and Putin. Yekaterinburg’s boss Yevgeny Roismann’s statements that this “constitutional coup” is absurd have not yet had an effect, support from the broad masses of the population and criticism has already subsided in the shadow of public debate.

Putin started this year with offensive ones and had planned easy and quick implementation of his ideas on all fronts, if an unforeseen enemy – the corona virus – had not stood in the way. Already in March, he started an oil war with Saudi Arabia. In April, the people had to vote for him as president until the end of his life, and in May, pompous May 9 celebrations were planned across the country with an invited bouquet of guests in Red Square. It has been 75 years since the end of World War II, and the Kremlin chief must not miss such a self-glorification opportunity as an outstanding PR campaign for himself and his politicians.
–
Unfortunately, the evil virus destroyed everything. The price of oil did not stick to one and unemployment and public confusion increased. The celebration and the elections were postponed. The fact that the first step is taking place now means that the future has come. But Putin’s PR is no longer as sleek and shiny as it could be. He no longer flies with cranes, does not pose on a horse, but is forced to accept public outrage at raising the retirement age.

Swimming pools and restaurants are opened to please voters. There will be a late parade in Red Square and the uplifted, patriotic Russians will go to the polls on July 1 to prove their submission to the president, who will rule just like the tsar – indefinitely. Until the end of life. It is no wonder that Russia, with its 600,000 registered coronary virus patients, is the third most infected covid19 country in the world after the United States and Brazil.

How to get voters to vote
–
The witty approach – to offer those who come to the polls the opportunity to draw cars and apartments is one thing. The other is the active pressure on business leaders to force workers to definitely go and vote. Reuters recently reported on documents requiring management of large companies to report on when and how employees participated in the elections. In addition, all major employers are sent the right answers to workers’ questions about Putin’s election. For example: “Is it true that Putin wants to change the Russian constitution precisely because of his own private interests?” The correct answer is this: “Putin is doing this for us, so that those who come after him cannot get the country to explode as Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin did.”
–
There are questions and the right answers. The people have faith in their tsar, who will be appointed to the throne for life on July 1. As the possibilities for political opposition in Russia are still as impossible as in North Korea or China, there is nothing to expect yet.
