This is all dedicated to the so-called elections. The electoral procedure that will begin tomorrow to usurp power by Vladimir Putin once again. We, as concerned citizens of Russia, have decided to express our political will and attitude towards these elections and the regime of Vladimir Putin. We have taken tools for voting (smiles - ed.), and all the surprises will start tomorrow because tomorrow is the election."
