From eight o’clock in the morning I was looking in the window: from it, like in the palm of your hand, you can see school № 1965, which on October 11th was transformed into a polling station. Right until evening I did not uncover a single burst of massness: the people went, but somehow limply, one by one… At 10:30 in the barbershop I asked: speak up, who has already voted. The 10 or so people, including the barbers, were silent. «Why didn’t you go?» – I asked a man of middle years. «Fuck it», – said he simply and comprehensibly. 66% victorious unirussians [candidates from United Russia, the “party of power”–Trans.] throughout Moscow – a lie, even in consideration of the mental veneration of Russians before the two-headed power. Because pokhuyism is stronger than love for the bosses.

In the year 2007 at elections to the State Duma at voting in this same school I and several of my acquaintances took unfilled-in ballots with us [when we left]. In a couple of days in the district newspaper «Maryinsky vestnik» was published a report on the elections. In it I found a line that said that there were no unused and lost ballots based on the results of the voting. A flagrant and brazen lie, voracious and eating away at everything around it.
