The day before yesterday, Important Stories published a really important story . An investigation that debunked the myth of the allegedly the only decent politician in Russia. About a real diplomat, honest, decent, worthy. Favorite of millions.

They admires Putin and puts it at the very top of the list of EP in the State Duma. In order for voters to see his name and think "oh, how I want such a deputy, I will definitely vote for United Russia." Lavrov in all polls is almost more popular than Putin himself. He is super famous and the Russians trust him.

But in vain. It’s in vain. And thanks to Important Stories , we've learned why.

Svetlana Polyakova, mistress of Sergei Lavrov

Investigative journalists have found out that for many years Lavrov has lived a double life. In public, he is a decent family man with 50 years of marriage behind him, a modest hard worker who, by the standards of United Russia, lives quite poorly. Traditional values, conservatism, braces. But in fact, all this time he has a secret second family, a mistress, littered with expensive cars and elite real estate in Moscow, the Moscow region and London.

Generally, it is wrong to say that this is a secret lover or something. This is a real family. From Lavrov's official wife, there is perhaps an old photograph on the Internet, and a declaration , false, which he submits every year and for some reason indicates it there.

Literally everyone knew about Lavrov's real wife, as Important Stories found out. Well, except for you and me. In the notebooks of many people, she is recorded as Svetlana Lavrova.

A source from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told reporters that everyone in the Foreign Ministry knows that this woman is Lavrov's wife and almost the most influential person in the Foreign Ministry. She can fire someone she doesn't like. She attends official events. She eventually accompanies Lavrov when he meets with Putin.

And, of course, she is very, very rich. She, a non-working woman, has a 260-meter apartment on Prechistenka. In the same house, you can find an advertisement for the sale of the same: "luxury worthy of the elite." Stoa ton , almost 700 million rubles.

Her neighbor, the mother of Putin's beloved, Lyubov Mikhailovna Kabaeva, who has exactly the same apartment in this house , was also among the “chosen ones” . Lavrov's girlfriend also has a dacha in the Moscow region.

And a whole fleet of cars, including a Mercedes for 20 million rubles.

Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 recorded on Polyakova's mother

And then there is her daughter, that is, Lavrov's stepdaughter, she generally lives in London, in an apartment in a super-elite area, which she bought at the age of 21. For 4.4 million pounds. Or 400 million rubles. Saved on student lunches, not otherwise.

This is very entertaining. The great and terrible Foreign Ministry. Powerful geopolitician Lavrov. The legendary department, which in fact, like everything in Putin's Russia, is completely rotten. The legend of Sergei Lavrov, who is not a geopolitician at all, but an ordinary swindler, just like all Putin's officials, has collapsed: he lies, steals and spends money on a secret family. And we learned about this thanks to a small article by real independent journalists.

And we, following the Important Stories, ourselves studied this mysterious woman. We found amazing details of their life together, found that Lavrov's mistress is kept not only by Lavrov, but also by you and me. We learned how Lavrov, at the expense of the Foreign Ministry, at the expense of taxpayers' money, entertains his beloved and his new relatives.

And then it turned out that all this pales against the background of the rest of the story. Because she is so much more than a secret family. We discovered that Foreign Minister Lavrov is being kept by the oligarch. He lives at his expense, takes bribes from him and provides him with specific services. For which he should immediately be dismissed and put on trial.

It's kind of funny. We have been investigating Putin's crooks for so many years that our various investigations begin to meet. Cross. And layering on top of each other.

It's like a huge puzzle. We collect the fragments separately, sort of assembled, and then rrraz! - and it turns out that they dock with other, previously collected fragments.

There is nothing surprising here. Putin has been in power for thirty years, counting from St. Petersburg. His favorite officials, thieves, sit in their chairs for the same amount. And if for thirty years everyone has been continuously stealing and razing the country, then, of course, they will intersect somewhere. Like mold in Putin's palace , which is first in one corner, then in another, and then unexpectedly - everywhere.

And this time our and not only our investigations intertwined especially bizarrely. Our today's hero met with the erotic novel of the escort Nastya Rybka , as well as the tiktok of the 11-year-old daughter of the deputy Slutsky , so that we could find out how Russian diplomacy actually works. And what is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs actually doing.

Turkish holidays

2 weeks ago, Radio Liberty released an investigation into the scandalous LDPR deputy Leonid Slutsky. This is the man who harassed the journalists . And for which there was nothing . In addition to being a bastard and a scum, Slutsk is also a thief. Another proof of this was found in the tiktok account of his 11-year-old daughter. In her tiktok, she brags about Bentley cars, vacations in the Maldives, tells how she will receive a Swiss passport in 5 years, boasts sneakers for almost a million rubles and clothes from Gucci.

https: //www.svoboda.org/a/vill ...

Among other things, according to these tiktoks, journalists found a beautiful dacha near Slutsky. In Turkey. For 260 million rubles. The note indicates that when Slutsky rested there, the luxury yacht Saluzi moored directly to this place. This is how it looks, a very unusual pattern, remember it, please.

Local blogger who follows the ships in the territorial waters of Turkey, wrote on Twitter that the yacht rest is none other than the Foreign Minister Lavrov.

The tweet is so-so proof. Moreover, the election campaign is in full swing, and Lavrov is the main face of United Russia. He simply cannot have time for such vacations! But we decided to check it out. What if it’s true? Interesting anyway.

We are watching when the yacht sailed in the area of ​​Slutsky's Turkish villa.

On July 26 this year, the yacht leaves the port of Yalikavak, a city near Bodrum. On August 1 and 2, she stops near the place where the villa of Leodin Slutsky is located . On August 6, the yacht returns to Bodrum. In total, Saluzi with guests goes by sea for 11 days. Now we need to understand where Lavrov was at that time. Judging by the news - at the place , at work.

On July 28, Lavrov sends his greetings to the participants of the Forum of Young Diplomats of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation countries. July 29 Lavrov sends greetings to the participants of the 12th International Economic Summit "Russia - Islamic World". On July 30, you will not believe, Lavrov sends greetings again . This time to the participants of the International Youth Forum of Russian Compatriots. On August 4, Lavrov's interview with the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper is published . At midnight from July 31 to August 1, Lavrov's video congratulations on the day of the railway worker are published on the Foreign Ministry's website .

Congratulating domestic railway workers is a very important part of the work of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. But pay attention, the news about Lavrov is either greetings to the participants of some forums, or a text interview. And there is only one video about railroad workers. Here he is sitting, alive, against the background of flags, a drawing with the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The sound of the waves and the cry of seagulls cannot be heard in the video, so this is clearly not a yacht.

We'll download this video, just in case, and watch the metadata. Here is the date of the video creation - July 22nd.

And it was released a week later, on August 1. That is, it is canned food.

Putin's favorite trick, designed for gullible viewers of federal channels. You record 10 different videos in advance - sometimes with one governor, then with another, then with a minister, then with a security guard. And then gradually you release them in the news. As if they are fresh, and it happened today. And you yourself can go somewhere for at least a month. Everyone will look and think that you are at work.

This, of course, is an argument in favor of the fact that Lavrov was indeed on the yacht, but still not complete proof. And a few days ago, our investigation would have ended exactly at this point. What else could we do? Lavrov is a super-closed person, he has no social networks, by chance no one takes pictures of him on the street either.

But now everything is different. We know that Lavrov has a stepdaughter, Polina Polyakova. The same one from London, with an apartment for 400 million rubles. And she has an instagram . So, a month and a half ago, exactly at the right time, Polina shoots a video on the beach and puts a geotag - this is exactly the place, the resort where Slutsky has a villa, and where his daughter is filming tiktoki. Further we see Polina on the yacht. And ... after the next video there is no doubt. Polina waves to the staff and it is he who drives off the colored yacht on which, according to media reports, Lavrov was resting.

That is, we have a statement from a Turkish blogger from the fields that Lavrov was there. We have established that there was a stepdaughter on the yacht, but we are missing another guest. Where is the lady of Lavrov's heart, Svetlana Polyakova?

It's good that we have at our disposal all the flights of the Lavrov family for several years. On July 26, a rented business jet with Svetlana Polyakova Falcon 7X will fly from Moscow to Milas-Bodrum airport.

On the same evening, the Saluzi yacht goes to sea near the airport. On August 6, Saluzi docks to the shore, and the Lavrov family flies back to Moscow from the same airport. Here on this private jet the Embraer 650 .

The Turkish vacation of the minister and his secret family can be considered proven. It only remains to add that renting this particular yacht costs $ 480,000 per week.

Plus the costs, but let's not even count them. That is, the 11-day vacation of the minister and his family cost $ 754,000. 55 million rubles. For 11 days. This is Lavrov's entire salary over the past 7 years. And someone paid for it!

But even this is not the most interesting thing that we found in the flights of the secret Lavrov family. There is much more to come.

On a business trip with the whole family

We remind you that Svetlana Polyakova is simply Lavrov's beloved - NOT an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NOT an official, and simply, in fact, do not understand who. Nevertheless, she travels with Lavrov for the state account on all official business trips. The minister, apparently, simply cannot work without her. He needs her in Addis Ababa:

And Paris:

It is impossible to go to the Munich conference without her:

Over the past 7 years, Svetlana Polyakova has used Lavrov's business aircraft 60 times as her own. Here are her "business trips": France, Ethiopia, Austria, Turkey, Italy, Germany, Mongolia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, USA, Switzerland, Japan, Singapore, Portugal, Algeria, Tunisia, Vietnam, China, Slovakia, Greece, Azerbaijan.

In order not to be unfounded, and you suddenly did not think that this is an invention. Lavrov's board flew to Azerbaijan on December 2-3, 2019. The goal is a meeting with the President and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan. We have no doubt that Lavrov was there, there are plenty of photos and videos on the Internet . But was his secret wife there? Was! In Baku, Lavrov met with the famous Azerbaijani artist Sakit Mammadov. Here is a picture of them together . And now the three of us. Mamedov, Lavrova and Polyakova.

The day after returning from Azerbaijan, Lavrov and Polyakova flew on a special plane to Bratislava for a meeting of the OSCE Foreign Ministers Council. Crossing the border, Lavrov's mistress claimed that the purpose of her trip was "a visit for official negotiations through state institutions of power."

https: //drive.google.com/file / ...

In general, when traveling with Lavrov, she points out that these are not tourist trips, but namely "business trips to the diplomatic mission."

At the same time, we remind you that she does not work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We searched through all the available databases, old and new. Lavrov and Polyakova meet at least from the very beginning of the two thousandth, and most likely even earlier. Back in 2004, they flew together to St. Petersburg. But we did not find a single mention of her work or government service. Why the hell is an incomprehensible woman flying with the Foreign Minister to negotiate with US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo (here's the news about it, but Polyakova 's flight ) and the Emir of Kuwait ( news , Polyakova's flight ) ?!

In general, Svetlana Polyakova is busy with completely different matters, far from diplomacy. She is an actress. Polyakova is registered as an individual entrepreneur, here is her card, she is engaged in the production of films and television programs.

“Actress” is, of course, we call her so at a stretch. We give a compliment. Because there are films formally, but you can't buy acting skills for money. On the Internet, we found such a great movie. With Dima Bilan. He plays there a white officer, a hero, a brave defender of the homeland. Rated 4.6 out of 10.

In this film, Svetlana Polyakova starred in a cameo role. Lavrov's beloved got a status role with three whole phrases. He plays the Countess. And everyone bows to her and applauds.

Right now, Svetlana Polyakova is filming her second film - The Montevideo Unit . We found a special plate , which is traditionally broken before filming, where the entire film crew is indicated - and our Svetlana Polyakova is the producer there, and her daughter Polina is an actress.

OK. Lavrov takes his mistress on business trips. Proved. This is an egregious situation, of course, but in reality it is even worse. Polyakova's daughter also travels with them on Lavrov's special board. Pauline. From March 19 to March 21 , 2017, she flew with Lavrov to Japan. Lavrov and Shoigu met there with their Japanese colleagues. And Polina was just having fun and walking around Tokyo.

The MAMA of Lavrov's beloved also flies on the special board of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. That is, his unofficial mother-in-law. She is 73 years old. Tamara Polyakova flew with Lavrov to Hamburg in December 2016, where Lavrov held talks with US Secretary of State John Kerry. And in December 2017, she flew with Lavrov to Vienna. There he had a meeting with the President of Austria. And in February 2020, she flew with Lavrov to the 56th Munich conference. And everywhere Lavrov's 70-year-old mother-in-law indicated the purpose of the trip as a "business trip." To the diplomatic mission.

I wonder if everyone does this? And John Kerry also takes his mistress's mother to negotiations? Was there a special program for secret mother-in-law of foreign ministers in Munich?

Let's say it again. Lavrov takes not only his mistress to the most important interstate negotiations, but also her mother and daughter. And also the 18-year-old niece of Lavrov's mistress is traveling around the world on foreign affairs from the Foreign Ministry! Her name is Valeria Polyakova. She flew to Azerbaijan on the plane of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as "an accompanying member of the family."

In March 2019, she flew with him to Vienna. And in December 2016, she flew to Hamburg on Lavrov's plane. Business trip to the diplomatic mission. So it is written. On a business trip at the age of 13.

On the same business trip, we remind you that Lavrov's mother-in-law, 70-year-old Tamara Polyakova , flew .

Now Valeria Polyakova is 18 years old. And she quite takes advantage of the position of Lavrov's niece. The girl is clearly being raised to be a diplomat. She studies at MGIMO, speaks at the UN as part of the Russian delegation of fighters against drugs. Lavrov also added the mother of this young diplomat, the wife of his mistress's brother, Yekaterina Vadyaeva, to the Foreign Ministry. She works as Deputy Director of the Public Relations Department of the Main Production and Commercial Directorate for Serving the Diplomatic Corps at the Russian Foreign Ministry. The department is responsible for the work of foreign missions in Russia. True, now the mention of her name has been erased from the Foreign Ministry website.although she still works there. What? Are they shy? Don't want to know that the great diplomat and minister Sergei Lavrov is using the Foreign Ministry as a feeding trough for his relatives?

What a shame it really is. Not an agency, but a shame on Russia. They carry out the dirtiest Putin deeds - they either carry cocaine around the world, or they cover up an attempt to assassinate Navalny with chemical weapons. But in parallel, the minister is quietly plundering the Foreign Ministry itself. Rides everyone on airplanes. Shows the world - to a mistress, a mistress's mother, a mistress's niece, a daughter. Attaches them to work. Resting with them on a yacht. And all he doesn’t care, they catch him - and okay. He will just once again talk about how great Putin is, how the whole world has taken up arms against Russia, and then again, to be sure, he will pray. And that's it, here he is the leader of the federal list of United Russia.

Deripaska

But we saved our best discovery for the very end. The discovery, for which Lavrov is not only supposed to be removed from the elections, he should be imprisoned.

Lavrov and his family have been kept by the oligarch for many years. He pays for their rest. They fly on his planes. They sail on his yacht and live in his houses.

From the data on the flights of the Lavrov family, we learned that the second family of Sergei Lavrov literally uses Deripaska's planes as their own.

When we did our investigation about Deripaska, we thought: why does one person, even an oligarch, need 3 identical private planes ? What does he do with them? Finally we got it! He simply uses them to transport the Lavrov family and other officials around the world. Like a taxi.

Svetlana flew Deripaska's planes to Sardinia in 2014 , 2016 and 2017 , to Montenegro in 2015 , to Austria to celebrate the new 2016 , to German Karlsruhe and Hanover in 2016. Her mother also flies on Deripaska's plane, he took her to Germany ( once and two ). And Lavrov's young niece, Valeria Polyakova, is on the same list. As a reminder, she and her mother, the wife of Lavrov's mistress brother, flew on Deripaska planes to Sardinia , Austria and Norway .

And here is a photo from the instagram of Lavrov's stepdaughter Polina.

She is in a ski resort in Austria. I stayed at a hotel owned by Deripaska. Here are some photographs of Polina over the years - against the background of the pool and the building with a colonnade, which looks like an antique temple.

We will now quickly soar over Deripaska's Montenegrin villa and quickly find this very pool. And this is the building with a colonnade.

Polina is photographed here. In 2017, as we can see in the caption in the photo above, she celebrated her birthday here. Where else can the foreign minister's stepdaughter celebrate her 22nd birthday if not in the oligarch's villa? And here is a photo of Polina in Sardinia. And the signature.

She calls this place her second home. Perhaps the real owner of this house, Oleg Deripaska, should be informed about this. Because she is photographed at his villa Valkyrie in Porto Cervo .

The picture was taken here, near the pool.

To prove this, we invert the photo of Pauline (she was made mirrored), open the google panorama and find everything very quickly. Here is a tall tree. The tree partially covers the bay on the left, and two houses are unmistakably recognizable.

Instagram Polina Polyakova

View from the dacha of Oleg Deripaska

Just in case, so that no one has doubts. Oligarch Oleg Deripaska is NOT the lover or boyfriend of this relative of Lavrov. Polina has a young man in England, this is not Oleg Deripaska.

Checked, we move on.

Polina Polina calls her mother's dacha in the Moscow region her other home. She posted plenty of photos to explore the interiors, but the ones we liked the most are these.

On one under the bouquet you can see a booklet and a photograph of Lavrov. And on the second we were interested in this man, whose face is strategically hidden by a chandelier. But you can see a clock very similar to Lavrov's clock.

And a hand. With a very characteristic and recognizable shape of the fingers.

But these shots Polina Polyakova, a secret relative of Lavrov, also filmed at some dacha near Moscow, but clearly different. Here is a view of a lake or reservoir, you can see the pier, it is difficult to understand where it is. Polina turns further and rents a house on the shore. We found this place, the dacha is located on the Klyazminskoye reservoir in a secluded place called the Bay of Joy. The pier, the house, the boat, all of this is perfectly visible from the satellite. A huge piece of land with an area of ​​35.5 hectares is leased by a company that takes us in a couple of steps to Valentina Petrovna Deripaska, Oleg Deripaska's mother. Let's open Polina's story again , here's another view of the coastal part of the dacha. If you take a freeze-frame here, you will see the yacht.

This yacht also belongs to Deripaska. Do you recognize?

In 2018, we released an investigation into how the oligarch Deripaska took off a dozen prostitutes and went on a yacht voyage with them. To Norway. One of the guests on the yacht was Nastya Rybka, a young escort girl who recorded everything that happened on the yacht on her phone.

She then just wanted to boast that the oligarch had removed her and that the oligarch liked her. But the official Sergei Prikhodko accidentally got into the frame.

Who in such a stupid way got burned by the fact that the oligarch Deripaska takes him, the deputy chairman of the Government, on cruises with prostitutes. Then Rybka wrote a book. A good third of her are descriptions of scenes of sex orgies on this yacht, their joint recreation, and even conversations between Prikhodko and Deripaska about international politics - in between orgies, apparently.

So, in the background we see exactly this very yacht from our old investigation. And she didn't just get into the frame. The family of Foreign Minister Lavrov IS ALSO RESTING on the same yacht as Nastya Rybka. On July 4, 2016, Lavrov's nieces Valeria and Alexander Polyakov with their mother Ekaterina Vadyaeva fly from Moscow to Moldova on Deripaska's private jet. It is a small coastal Norwegian town. Here is a photo from Alexandra Polyakova's instagram, it was taken during the trip on Deripaska's yacht in Norway. Compare with well-known photographs of Deripaska's yacht. The flagpole and tarpaulin are the same.

Instagram of Alexandra Polyakova

Deripaska's yacht photo

There is also such a photo from that trip, posted a little later. The handrails on it coincide with those that Nastya Rybka showed us.

She is exactly the same yacht. On July 10, the secret Lavrov family, at least consisting of the minister's nieces and their mother (and who else was there, one can only guess), flew back to Moscow. Well, on the yacht three weeks later they were replaced by a dozen escorts and an official Sergei Prikhodko.

We are often reproached: you constantly say that this official was given a bribe by such and such. This oligarch contains such and such United Russia. But what's the point of giving them bribes? What is their motive? What services are these millions of dollars being paid for in bribes? Prove it!

In the case of Deripaska and Lavrov, everything is as easy as shelling pears. There is no need for hypotheses, conjectures and theories. You just need to open the news and it will become obvious. Minister Lavrov is the personal lobbyist of the oligarch Deripaska. Lavrov uses his public office, the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, to solve his, Deripaska's, questions. Help his business. And to him personally.

Lavrov kicked himself into pieces to help Deripaska get an American visa . He personally, on stamp paper, wrote letters to lobbyists, asking them to contribute to Deripaska as best he could. I asked to report to him, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on how the work on the personal visa issues of the oligarch is going. In the letter, he described Deripaska as "an outstanding business leader who drives the Russian and global economy." And also, as we found out, it serves as a "motor" for the luxurious life of the family of the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

When Deripaska's company had a conflict with the authorities of Guinea, where he has a production of bauxite and aluminum, Lavrov rushed to cough up questions there. And he achieved his goal: using his status, he personally met with the President of Guinea and settled all of Deripaska's problems. It is not for nothing that Deripaska has been taking his entire family on vacation for years.

Deripaska also has business interests in Jamaica - there Lavrov is again busy with him . Achieved preferences for Rusal in the extraction of alumina. Now the minister, with a sense of accomplishment, continues to use Deripaska's private planes.

When Western countries impose sanctions on Deripaska, Lavrov stands up to defend his benefactor. With all the might of the Foreign Ministry attacked the Swedish company, which simply refused to supply spare parts to the GAZ group, owned by Deripaska. And Lavrov dubbed the American sanctions against Deripaska nothing more than "Russophobia" and "genocide." Lavrov is ready to unleash a world war for the sake of the sponsor of his family, making all Russians hostage to Deripaska's interests.

Let's be honest: we practically do not see any differences between the relationship between Deripaska and escort Nastya Rybka and the relationship between Deripaska and Minister Lavrov. Absolutely the same commodity-money principle. Deripaska pays, and Nastya Rybka and Sergey Lavrov provide him services. Pleasing his interests. The only difference is in the amount and status. Nastya Rybka is an ordinary escort. And Lavrov is a minister. But on a yacht, everyone ride the same way.

"Smart voting"

Hypocrisy. Lies. Theft. Meanness. Cynicism. These are the true values ​​of United Russia. Under the guise of conservative family values ​​and the protection of morality, Putin seized the country and turned it into a personal wallet to enrich himself, his family and friends. Under the pretext of some kind of encroachment on our braces, an external threat, he made Russia an impoverished rogue state, a state that for some reason is forever in a trench and is at war with everyone. Tons of lies pour out on us - about family, about love, about loyalty and patriotism, but all this is hypocrisy.

Their real life is second families, yachts, airplanes and palaces. A royal glamorous life at the expense of the oligarchs. This is Putin 's ideology. This should be written on the posters of United Russia.

Just look at this disgusting trinity. On our best and most popular politicians, the saviors of Russia. Those for whom you are offered to vote in a few days at the elections to the State Duma.

Lavrov has two families. Fake, to declare, and real billionaires. On yachts and private jets. A week of rest costs them 50 million rubles, and real estate in Moscow and London costs a billion. On state planes, Lavrov rides his distant relatives on vacation. It seems normal to him... He forgot to even think that the ministerial portfolio is not the title with which he was born, but quite the opposite. It is work, hard and strenuous work. It should benefit the Russians whom he represents on the international stage. But there is no question of any service to people here. Lavrov, like other Putin cronies, has been a parasite in his post for 17 years and uses the post of minister to live beautifully. They literally milk the whole country, believing that they have no responsibilities, but only endless privileges, given to them for some reason. And we are told: vote for them, what do you dislike? Lavrov is doing so well with Western partners!

Or Shoigu. The same story as a carbon copy. Double life, and a stewardess mistress . Take a look at the house of Elena Shebunova, former lover of Shoigu, on Rublevka . How is this even possible? She gives birth to a son Shoigu, and Shoigu inundates her with billions. State contracts for the supply of food products, uniforms and building materials for the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Defense. They had already parted company with Shoigu four years ago, but the second family of the Minister of Defense still continues to grow rich. It cannot be stopped!

Well, Putin, of course. As the main ideologist of this hypocrisy and cynicism. He started his second family in the first term, at the beginning of the two thousandth. Poor Petersburg girl Svetlana Krivonogikh gave birth to his daughter Lisa, and became one of the richest women in Russia. She was assigned a 3% stake in Bank Rossiya. It is not that she herself does not have to work another day in her life, she is provided for several generations to come.

All this time, Vladimir Vladimirovich flaunted in front of the cameras along with his official wife Lyudmila. After all, voters do not like second families so much.

What are family values? What do we know now about the family life of Putin - the main lover of talking about traditional values? What for the sake of an allegedly unrelated gymnast blocking half of Moscow? That the gymnast's mother, as, by the way, and Svetlana Krivonogikh's mother, get apartments from Gazprom? That the gymnast for some reason was appointed to manage all the Russian media that Putin's cronies bought up? What kind of mockery is this? Who are you holding us for?

It just needs to be stopped. Russia in the 21st century cannot be governed by SUCH people. We are better than that, we deserve more, and we are ready to fight for it. We will continue to tell you stories that are often scary to tell, but absolutely necessary. Others will continue to engage in politics despite being intimidated, imprisoned and killed. Still others, no less brave, will take to the streets for our freedom.

Be sure to come to the polls this weekend. And vote against United Russia. Against Putin's party of crooks and thieves. The only viable way to kick these scoundrels out is "Smart Vote". That is, a consolidated vote for one specific candidate who has the most chances to defeat United Russia.

We have already published the names of candidates in all 225 Duma constituencies. Look for them on the Smart Voting website . If the site is blocked, look for them in the application (in the AppStore and Google Play ). If they block him too, the list can be found in our telegram bot . On our social networks, anywhere.

You will have two ballots, one with specific people - there you vote for candidates from the Smart Vote list. And the second bulletin with the parties - there, in the lists, there will be swindlers and deceivers Shoigu and Lavrov. Here you need to vote for any major parliamentary party, except for United Russia. It is pointless to vote for the small ones - they will not pass through the barrier, and the votes cast for them will go to United Russia.

Therefore, pinch your nose, close your eyes and tick the box at least randomly. Remember, this will be a voice that will not go to Putin and United Russia. And this is the most important thing.

Participate in Smart voting.

Freedom for Alexei Navalny.
