Posters for the September 18 elections. The best election poster. Elections to the State Duma

The election campaign ends. Probably, each of us noticed something absurd in the campaign materials of candidates or in pre-election statements. But in principle, I agree with the opinion of some experts who consider the 2016 campaign one of the most boring in recent decades. Nevertheless, some candidates nevertheless "pleased" us and a selection of their work is offered to your attention by the publication "New Region". So…

No matter how boring the current propaganda campaign in Russia may be, there is room for creativity and ridiculous mistakes in it, which claim to be called “election memes-2016”. The editors of NDNews.ru have compiled a selection of funny agitation of candidates that surprised, amused or upset voters.

In the category " Wanted the best”I got a funny case of campaigning for United Russia in Degtyarsk. An ordinary meeting of party representatives with state employees turned into a small show, because one of the agitators - the director of a local kindergarten - was drunk as a bastard. The woman could hardly stand on her feet, but she very loudly argued why it was necessary to vote for the candidate of the ruling party: “I'll tell you right away! A man who was in the war will not offer bad things! And I was in the war! The video was published by Yekaterinburg social activist and candidate of the Yabloko party Ekaterina Petrova. According to her, the heroines of the video were the head of the kindergarten, Igoshina Svetlana, and the director of the local cultural center, Koshkina Elena.

I will tell you

right to be toughest candidate in the campaign, Maxim Shingarkin deserved it, who showed the voters a fox. A small scene with a real molting fox is only part of the epic video of the Motherland candidate, who, with a focused face, mows grass, cuts firewood and promises to deal with corrupt officials.

Party candidates in the regions obediently follow the harsh trend of Rodina. For example, Natalya Pogorelova, a nominee in the Krasnodar single-mandate constituency, goes to the polls with the slogan “ Strong woman strong Russia. True, inquisitive voters noticed that the heroine on the poster was not dressed according to the charter - a front shirt, but a cap from her everyday uniform.

Prize in the nomination wrong place shared by several candidates. United Russia propaganda poster Andrey Golushko with the slogan "We live here" was among the means of intimate hygiene.

The Just Russians election banner near a cheap eatery gave the party an unexpected slogan, "Forward, shawarma." And Kaliningrad United Russia Alexander Musevich can now proudly call himself a shawarma specialist.

Immediately two candidates in the Urals do not give rest glory of Hollywood stars. Andrey Gorislavtsev, a promoter of United Russia in the Sverdlovsk region, tried himself as a provincial Jedi.

In Perm, public figure Andrey Okunev, who is going to the polls under the banner of Rodina, identifies with the Terminator and even put together an imaginary team of "Avengers".

Award " folk poet and philosopher”is awarded to Alexander Manakov, a Samara nominee from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, who instead of election promises gives rhymed advice to motorists.

In the nomination " the most honest propaganda” wins a self-nominee to the State Duma, a farmer from the Republic of Mari El Grigory Petrov-Chotkar, who unobtrusively and sincerely explained to voters why they should vote for him.

The candidate for the State Duma from Parnassus Nikolai Lyaskin chose the tactics " your guy on the board and spoke to his electorate in a language he understood. Cubas with non-literary appeal appeared on the streets of Moscow.

Play on feelings cat people and dog people decided the LDPR candidate Alexander Gliskov, but he could not think of anything more creative than taking a picture with a crazy black cat on his lap, and supplying the poster with an absolutely illogical slogan.

Communist Anton Romanov from Irkutsk is also partial to animals, especially green snakes with the face of the American president.

Several parties at once used the old technique in campaign materials word games However, sometimes things didn't work out so well. So, on the Rodina posters, the names of the candidates were indicated without initials, which is why many voters are now sure that “ermines” live in Krasnoyarsk, and “Gavrils” live in Tolyatti.

"Patriots of Russia" did not receive official permission to use the image of Vladimir Putin in propaganda posters, but they did not lose their heads and beat the president's name in the slogans "patriots on the way to 2017."

But the LDPR candidate Andrey Nezabudkin got 100% of the benefit from his seemingly ordinary surname - with such a slogan he will definitely not be forgotten.

But in Miass it is difficult to develop political technologies - it is almost impossible to imagine what the candidate of the "Party of Growth" wanted to say to his voters. But in social networks, Valikhan Turgumbaev is now known as " puzzle man».

Watch all these miracles of pre-election creativity on the video:

Promotional trash

Elections of deputies of the State Duma of Russia are getting closer, and more and more election campaigning is appearing on the streets of Russian regions. This year, 14 political parties will be named on the ballot, and therefore there are more posters, banners and billboards this August than ever. Some of them are quite funny.

Perhaps the record holder for the number of failed posters in the regions is the Rodina party. Its candidates are nominated both on the party list and in single-mandate constituencies, and due to the standard design and non-standard slogans, they are increasingly in the focus of attention of bloggers and journalists.

For example, residents of Krasnoyarsk were surprised to learn from the posters of one of the candidates that their city is the birthplace of stoats. In fact, of course, the leaflet has nothing to do with fluffy animals: Gornostaev is the name of the candidate. But the slogan of the candidate is too amusing to read, to whom technologists, perhaps by mistake, or maybe on purpose, in order to increase recognition, did not even begin to add the initials of the nominee.

Another nominee from the party, Valery Ivanov, became famous on the entire Internet with the slogan "Enough to wrap snot around your fist!" The retired colonel looks sternly at the voters from the posters. With this, you really won’t pick your nose.

In general, belligerence "Motherland" exploits recklessly. Maria Katasonova, who is running in Moscow, punches the voter in the nose from her poster. The girl uses the motto of the Airborne Forces "No one but us" on the poster, but the leaflet does not say what the candidate herself has to do with the airborne troops.

Natalia Pogorelova, who is nominated in the Krasnodar single-mandate constituency, has become the latest victim of the humorous bloggers from among the Rodina candidates. A teacher of the College of Law, Economics and Management goes to the polls under the slogan "A strong woman of a strong Russia" and was photographed in army paraphernalia. “Why does she have a cap for an ordinary soldier, and a shirt for an officer? Or are these shirts now given to privates? Well, then again, not according to the charter: the shirt is from the front dress, and the cap is from the everyday uniform,” political scientist Alexei asks on Facebook Chesnakov.

The Patriots of Russia, although they have not received official permission to use the image of Russian President Vladimir Putin in their posters, have found a way to attract the attention of his electorate. Their slogan "On the way to 2017" (or "On the way to 2016" - different variations in different regions) is printed on posters in such a way that it is almost impossible not to read the name of the Russian head of state.

United Russia has no particular problems with the content, but the grammar and placement of agitation let us down again. No sooner had the voters forgotten the Volgograd poster about new roads against the backdrop of potholes and potholes in the roadway than United Russia pleased with a quote from Putin about a decent life for older people right in front of the city cemetery. "A poster at the entrance to the Intercession Cemetery. Are they hinting at a causal relationship?" - ironically on Facebook, the teacher of the Russian State University for the Humanities Alexander Shubin.

A spelling mistake was noticed on the poster of the United Russia candidate by political scientist Konstantin Kalachev. "The party has been tested by time, but not verified by a proofreader. Serious should be written with a soft sign, not a hard one," the political scientist ironically writes on his Facebook.

At Yabloko, everything is in order with spelling, but not so much with creativity. At the end of last week, cubes appeared all over Moscow with the party's agitation with the juicy slogan "The New Apple is You" and a large portrait of Grigory Yavlinsky. Bloggers, having seen this, ran out of bile: you can’t call anyone, but Yavlinsky, one of the founders of the party, the new Yabloko.

"Fair Russia" after the feil with Oksana Dmitrieva, whose image was used on campaign posters in St. Petersburg, began to treat banner advertising more carefully. But the video of the fair Russians on the election advertising blog on Russian TV made Internet users laugh. The fact is that, according to Russian laws, no one but candidates can be used in election campaigning, and party members wanted a bright image. “In the Just Russia video, all the actors are candidates. We can say that the Social Revolutionaries do not have candidates, but just an acting club. We are looking forward to new roles,” writes political scientist Pavel Danilin on Facebook. “The candidate plays a pregnant villager.”

And of course, the selection was not without the "Party of Growth", which since the beginning of summer has been placing its election campaign on the pavement. Everything would be fine, but the logo of the party is an arrow pointing upwards, which in the horizontal plane turns out to be a pointer anywhere, but not in the direction of growth. By the way, "Motherland" does not disdain advertising on the pavement, forcing passers-by to trample on the symbolically filled word with their feet. “I was really surprised when a journalist told me on the phone that Rodina started using advertising on asphalt in Moscow. Rodina is an ideological party (unlike Titov’s project), they lose a lot in my eyes using such Nichebrod methods promotion," political scientist Maksim Zharov writes on Facebook.

It turns out that elections are not so much responsible and important as a lot of fun. Moreover, voters have one more entertainment ahead of them: pre-election debates of candidates for deputies, many of whom are not shy in their expressions, and sometimes carry utter nonsense. In general, until September 18, we will have many reasons to laugh.

Judging by the reports of violations by parties and observers (stuffing, carousels, mass absentee ballots), the 2016 State Duma elections did not differ much from 2011. With one exception: parties, candidates and public organizations almost did not report the removal of observers. Under the new rules, lists of observers had to be handed over to polling stations three days before the election, and in total, according to the Central Election Commission, as of September 17, 301,000 observers were included in the lists. This is at least no less than in 2011 (266,109 people), Ella Pamfilova, chairman of the Central Election Commission, rejoiced. Although, she admits, many parties and candidates preferred to appoint members of commissions with an advisory vote to polling stations, there are no such restrictions on them.

In fact, we should talk about a sharp reduction in the corps of observers, objects the co-chairman of the Golos movement Grigory Melkonyants, because this time not seven parties, but 14 participate in the elections, elections in single-mandate districts have been added, and the total number of campaigns has more than doubled . According to Golos, the total number of violations has slightly decreased, but there is no need to talk about fundamental changes. Even in Moscow, which was expected to become an example of exemplary voting, carousels and mass transportation of voters were arranged. Most often, according to Golos, mass voting by absentee ballots was noted in the capital region.

From early morning at the sites in the center of the capital, working-looking people lined up. “They were walking along Ordynka from the side of Bolotnaya Square,” says Mikhail Tamm, deputy chairman of PEC No. 40 of the Zamoskvoretsky district. - Arrived in groups of 20-30 people. At one point there were 50 people in line. When I offered to go to the neighboring site, so as not to waste time, they said: it’s even worse there.” “Organized groups of voters arrived at the polling stations of the Presnensky district from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and voted by absentee ballots,” Grigory Vaypan, a member of the commission with an advisory vote from Parnassus, complained to the Presnensky TEC of Moscow. - In response to my questions and questions from members of precinct commissions, these voters confirmed that they were employees of organizations whose leadership ordered them to take absentee ballots at their place of residence and vote on September 18 at a predetermined polling station in the center of Moscow. In particular, the State Budgetary Institution "Avtomobilnye Dorogi", LLC "Transstroyengineering", LLC "Glavstroyengineering", OJSC "Mosproekt-3", State Unitary Enterprise "Moscow Property" were named. After voting, these voters recorded in writing the fact of their participation in the voting with the coordinator of their group. Thus, the leaders of the above organizations took actions aimed at ensuring the delivery of voters to participate in the voting.”

Nikolai Lyaskin, a candidate in the Babushkinsky single-mandate constituency from Parnassus, discovered at one of the polling stations a mass vote of cadets of the Academy of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (its president Ivan Teterin ran in this constituency), they went to vote in formation. According to Lyaskin, he failed to find employees of the election committee who accepted applications from 1,129 people to be included in the voter lists - all cadets have temporary registration. A similar story in St. Petersburg: 987 cadets of the military academy came to vote at polling station 2233, said Yabloko candidate Boris Vishnevsky. He claims that cadets could only vote in elections to the Duma, but they were also given ballots for elections to the city parliament.

Where voted more, and where - less

By seven in the evening, the Prosecutor General’s Office stopped accepting complaints from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation about mass violations: “Come on Monday, we went out on a day off anyway, our working day is over,” Mukhamed Bidzhev, head of the legal service of the Moscow City Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, reports.

Carousels, stuffing, voting by members of the commission were also recorded in the Rostov region, Vadim Solovyov, head of the legal service of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, said: “This mainly concerns the transportation of voters and carousels. In the Tver region, two large lines of cars were seen that transported carousels, in the Saratov region there are also a lot of carousels, and in the Astrakhan region they found about 40 temporary sites in “dead” villages where there is no one to vote, Solovyov says. According to him, there are much more violations in these elections than in the previous Duma elections: "They are much more frank."

Each voter will receive four ballots, and some Petersburgers will receive five at once! And the name of the same party can be mentioned simultaneously in all election documents.

Elections to the State Duma

According to the City Electoral Committee, more than 1860 polling stations will open in St. Petersburg on September 18, about 130 temporary ones (at railway stations, hospitals, pre-trial detention centers, etc.), which will work from 8 am to 8 pm. Finding yours is pretty easy. To do this, you need to go to the website of the St. Petersburg Election Commission (www.st-petersburg.izbirkom.ru) and determine your polling station at the registration address, or simply call the information and reference service 008 (3-008-008 from a mobile phone).

For the first time since 2003, elections in Russia will be held under a mixed system, deputies will be elected both on party lists and in single-member districts (see infographic).

The first will contain a list of political parties to the State Duma - there are 14 of them, the order was determined during the CEC draw. This:

1. "Motherland"
2. "Communists of Russia"
3. Russian Party of Pensioners for Justice
4. "United Russia"
5. "Greens"
6. "Civil Platform"
7. LDPR
8. "People's Freedom Party"
9. "Growth Party"
10. "Civil Force"
11. "Apple"
12. CPRF
13. "Patriots of Russia"
14. "Fair Russia".

In the second ballot - a list of candidates for the State Duma in single-member districts of St. Petersburg - there are 8 of them in the city (numbers 211 to 218). Depending on the district, it will have from 10 to 13 surnames.

...and to the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg

Approximately according to the same scheme, elections to the St. Petersburg parliament are held, only there the number of parties and candidates is smaller.

In one "Zaksovsky" ballot, you will need to select the party for which you voted. At the moment there are 9 of them, and the places, according to the draw, were distributed as follows:

1. "United Russia"
2. "Growth Party"
3. LDPR
4. "Fair Russia"
5. "Apple"
6. CPRF
7. Parnassus
8. "Communists of Russia"
9. Rot Front.

In another ballot, already the fourth in a row, you will need to put a tick in front of the single-member, who, in your opinion, should go to the St. Petersburg parliament from your district (there are 25 of them in total). Depending on the district, there will be from 4 to 7 surnames. Among single-mandate members there are not only representatives of specific political forces, but also independent candidates.

The fifth ballot will be given to voters residing in the municipalities of Avtovo (Kirovskiy district), the village of Saperny and parts of the village of Ponton (Kolpinsky district), where municipal elections will be held on September 18 in multi-mandate districts.

How can one and the same party be mentioned in all 4 or even 5 ballots? In addition to the parties that are repeated in the elections to the State Duma and the Legislative Assembly, the majority of single-mandate candidates are also nominated by parties, most often the same ones. In addition, some candidates run immediately for both the State Duma and the Legislative Assembly.

by the way

According to the CEC, 4 million people can vote abroad in the elections to the State Duma, half of which are tourists. At the same time, a citizen of the Russian Federation who went abroad without taking an absentee ballot at the place of registration can vote by writing an application at the embassy or consulate in the Russian Federation in the host country.

If your guide:

• requires to hand over the absentee certificate for storage to the administration;
• unreasonably announces September 18 as a working day in order to control the fact of participation in the voting;
• obliges to photograph the bulletin;
• threatens with any sanctions those who did not vote;
• promises any encouragement for voting;
• proposes to collectively go to vote;
• obliges employees to submit lists of family members or acquaintances who will also take part in the vote

it violates Russian law. Participation in elections is free and voluntary. Record all evidence of violations. Take pictures of any posters and announcements of similar content posted by the administration.

Report them to the observers at the polling stations, the police, the "hot line" of the City Council 008, as well as the multi-channel phone of the movement in defense of the rights of voters "Voice" - 8 800 333-33-50 (call from all city and mobile phones in Russia is free).

Expert comment

Alexander Kurochkin, political scientist:

This election cycle differs from the previous ones in that many political parties take part in it, both in the State Duma and in the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg. And for the vast majority of voters there is a real opportunity to choose, since almost the entire political spectrum of parties is represented: opposition forces, liberals, conservatives, leftists, rightists, and even several types of communist parties.

In addition, this time the authorities did everything to ensure that the elections were fair. Therefore, we must go and vote for those candidates whom you consider the most promising. But before that, carefully read what they offer. Spoiling ballots in such a situation seems to me a completely pointless and unnecessary exercise. Non-participation in voting does not contribute to the development of our political system and the formation of a democratic state.

The quality of the future life of Petersburgers directly depends on their vote on September 18, and it is unreasonable to ignore this process.

Opinions

Political strategist Valentin Bianchi:

In my opinion, the new composition of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg will be significantly updated, and we will see not only new faces, but, most likely, parties. I think voting on September 18 is a must! The higher the turnout, the less opportunities to distort the election results. And even if without idealism, the more honest the elected government. Participation in elections is a responsible behavior, I urge everyone not to be irresponsible for the future of their personal, family, city and country.

Tatyana Protasenko, director of the sociological research center "Megapolis":

Although according to all kinds of ratings, the situation seems to be clear, we may well expect serious surprises in these elections. As the world practice of recent years shows, voting results often do not coincide with the data of preliminary opinion polls. So, opinion polls in the UK about Brexit showed that the majority of the country's inhabitants want to stay in the EU.

However, the results of the referendum revealed different data, shocking the world community. If we talk about Russia, not a single opinion poll showed that in the elections for the mayor of Moscow in September 2013, Alexei Navalny would take second place. This is largely due to the fact that part of the electorate was on vacation abroad and did not participate in opinion polls. But at the same time, I received all the propaganda information on the Internet.

Now sociologists in their studies also do not actually take into account this group of voters. On the whole, I consider it a mistake to arrange voting during the season of dachas and vacations, as well as to “bump together” elections to the State Duma, the Legislative Assembly and majoritarian districts. Many voters are already confused.
