Today in Russia 's presidential election campaign ends.
Already on Sunday, March 4th, the Russians will elect someone who will lead the country in the next six years. On the results and progress of the Russian campaign of 2012 and what will Russia after the election, said in an interview to UNIAN Russian opposition, satirist and journalist Viktor Shenderovich.
Victor A., after the elections to the Duma in Russia did not cease to boil political passions. For the first time in many years, thousands of people who are not satisfied with the policy of the authorities, took to the streets of Russian cities. What will happen with Russia after the March 4, will Russia's ...
- ... I believe that everything will be to develop a few more painful and slower. I do not think that Putin will leave from the power of the corporation. They go on a break, you can clearly say that Putin will declare himself the winner of the March 5. Also, with full confidence we can say that will leave tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands of people on the street. I think that will quite protracted confrontation of power and a conscious part of society. I am confident that this will be a long standoff.
- Today ends election campaign in Russia. Do you think that all candidates were able to convey to the voters their program?.
- Elections are known to be equal, free and fair. Even today, it is clear that they do not equal, because one candidate has overwhelming 10 to 15 -fold advantage in the emergence of television and other media. Only one meeting in Luzhniki Putin candidate was to be withdrawn from the election in a country where there is a law prohibiting the use of administrative resources. Elections in Russia are not equal and free because it is already recorded facts of blackmail, threats and bribery. Elections are not fair, because the vote will be counted by the same group of crooks, who believed the results of parliamentary elections, and caught the largest fraud in favor of Putin's party ... This is not an assumption, and mathematics. It's proven!.
Consequently, the election of March 4 to call the elections quite possibly in the European sense of the word. This is the capture and retention of power.
- Do you think Putin's opponents registered by people who are able to make it a real competition?.
- In this election, Putin has no rivals. These people - Gennady Zyuganov, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Sergei Mironov, and Mikhail Prokhorov - somehow built into the ... They play their role in Putin's theater, they can portray this competition, but none of them are not fighting for victory. Those people who were a real threat to Putin's election, just not allowed on the ballot.
- That is the fact that today almost all Russian sociological centers predict a landslide victory of Vladimir Putin in the first round of elections, not by accident?.
- As it is impossible to use the word ... Rating - this is what is measured in equal conditions for all candidates, such as France, Denmark, America or anywhere else. In our case, this is what is called ... If North Korea's ratings to measure, there is 100% support will be given to the Workers' Party of Korea. But this does not mean that all people support it. This means only the fear and paralysis of society. It says exactly that, not about free choice.
In addition, our sociological life, to put it mildly, do order, they put it mildly, are not free. When the measurement shows 37% or 32 % support in. Putin, and a couple of weeks is 60%, it can not be explained any sociology. This can be explained only by the administrative resources and a direct order. How many people will vote for the candidate of Putin's, you can find only free, equal and fair elections. Neither one nor the other, there is no third. So do not use the word ...
- Can Putin's initiative to install web cameras at each polling place to make the elections transparent and deliver power from the charge of falsification of the results?.
- This is a red herring authorities. First, do these webcams will work up to 20. 00, local time, ie at the time of elections. But home starts at the end of the falsification of elections. Secondly, it is not necessarily physically throwing papers in the ballot box. The experience of past elections, we see that just written another figure in the final protocol. Moreover, to shoehorn something into a box of 20 can. 15, and this time from eight to nine is called ... The third factor is that under the existing law is now, video evidence will not be accepted by the court, and this record has no legal force. That is, you can fix the stuffing, but this will be your kinemotagraficheskoy luck and no more.
- Recognises Do you think the international community such elections and the fact of Putin's return to the main post of Russia?.
- I think so, and recognize pomorschatsya. Russia - Belarus is not. Russia has a lot of leverage to influence the very cynical and accessible to such arguments of the Western community. This gas is and the Central Asian bases, and international politics is. I think that the Western community has long been significantly degraded. Since the days of Thatcher and Reagan crushed much Western policy.
Do you think there any way to change the relationship between our two countries with the old - new Russian President Putin?.

I'm not ready to fantasize on foreign policy subjects. But I think that Ukraine, as if we did not warn her, still went to the Russian way. Mr. Yanukovych is rapidly sweeping the road in the direction of Putin's usurpation of power. Actually, he has usurped her: in Ukraine there were political prisoners, there is pressure on the press. It's all very much, Ukraine is on our way. Yanukovich Putin is on the way to absolute power. Putin is on the way Mr Lukashenko. This path ends with the head of state can not then escape from the authorities simply because he is afraid. Thus, he cuts a possibility of life after power. This way Putin and Lukashenko Yanukovych laid Hosni Mubarak, Muammar Qaddafi, and many others before them. This is a very dangerous way to live.
