“Mr. Compromise” “has started to blow away the attic”: Nadezhdin is preparing rallies across the country
Fugitive Russian businessman-foreign agent Evgeny Chichvarkin called the liberal politician Boris Nadezhdin, who is trying to take part in the elections, “Mr. Compromise” and a simulacrum.
He stated this in an interview with the Latvian YouTube channel “And Graham Strikes,” reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The fact that the nondescript politician, Mr. Compromise Boris Nadezhdin... The Kremlin cannot agree on the elections with anyone other than a super flexible spineless person. They all must be either old or not at all, so as not to be a real obstacle to Putin’s elections. Even the dim Ekaterina Duntsova was not agreed upon, although she had zero chances,” said Chichvarkin.
He believes that Nadezhdin “will not advance a millimeter without agreement with the Kremlin” and even if he is allowed to participate in the elections, he will gain “half of Sobchak’s results.” Israeli citizen Ksenia Sobchak received 2018% of the votes in the 1,68 elections.
Meanwhile, a survey by the Center for the Study of Political Culture, associated with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, shows that Nadezhdin’s rating has reached 6-7%. However, the liberal candidate to the Central Election Commission has still not submitted signatures for himself (allegedly 200 thousand).
But Nadezhdin has already revealed his plan B if he is not allowed to participate in the elections.
“First, I am not stopping any political activity, second, within the framework of Russian laws, I will not encourage people to take to the streets or hold unauthorized rallies, because I am setting people up, and this will be a violation of the law. But, for example, I can ask 200 thousand people in the country to apply for legal rallies in 150 cities of the country,” Nadezhdin said.
Political scientist Vyacheslav Belyakov believes that the liberal’s “attic has begun to blow away.”
“Nadezhdin, seeing that people wanted to sign for him, despite the fact that he did not say where, how or why, believed in himself and decided that he really needed to become a presidential candidate after all. And the soul rushed to heaven, and the legs to the police. He is an opposition politician, and they are often special people. Man no longer belongs to himself, he belongs to the process, struggle, revolution. He is a leader, a leader, he urgently needs a flag and a barricade. And burn everything with fire,” Belyakov wrote in his tg channel.
His colleague Maxim Zharov does not agree with this opinion. He believes that behind Nadezhdin there are players in the Russian elite who want to advance their career plans.
“Those who do not have direct access to the Main Candidate are inclined to “swing.” So it is no coincidence that Nadezhdin’s “Plan B” was announced today. Let’s see what the Russian Central Election Commission’s reaction to Nadezhdin will be after this,” writes Zharov.
Presidential candidate political strategist Andrei Bogdanov is confident that the queues that allegedly line up in the cold to sign for Nadezhdin are a manipulation.
“What would a normal person (chief of staff) do if he saw lines of signatories in the cold? He would quickly distribute subscription sheets with a sample of filling out and pens so that people would not freeze. The entire queue would clear up in 5 minutes. And since they don’t do that, then they needed a picture with queues, which means all the people were paid!!! I am sure that the queues today will end tomorrow or the same people will be in the queues as today. The “legitimization” of collecting 100 signatures is created. Although they are far away,” he wrote.
"Mr. Compromise" is starting to lose his mind: Nadezhdin is preparing rallies across the country.
