Poster on the topic of suffrage. Katz offers to win

It’s unlikely that any Russian has yet heard about the single voting day on Sunday, September 14: long before the cherished date, parties begin to decorate city billboards with their symbols, and mailboxes are bursting with colorful leaflets with promises. A special place in the life of Russians during this period is occupied by election posters, which for better results are usually glued to walls, like wallpaper. FederalPress has collected the most absurd of them over the past few years.

What makes me smile is, first of all, the unusual names of the candidates, some of which are almost unprintable. Sometimes the result of folk art is improvised slogans, such as “The country desperately needs Victor Poporez.”

Success among the population can also be achieved thanks to the right slogan. The Liberal Democratic Party of Russia has succeeded most in this.

They tried to link the surname with the slogan this year in Penza, but Oleg Chaliapin’s election campaign failed the candidate. According to media reports, he attended a karaoke evening where he distributed campaign materials, but did not organize this event and did not pay for it from his fund. As a result, the court decided to cancel the registration of the candidate for City Duma deputy.

When talking about slogans, one cannot help but recall the propaganda materials of the first president of Russia, Boris Yeltsin.

Another way to attract the attention of the audience is the layout and design of promotional materials. This is what one of the posters looked like during the elections of deputies to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation of the fifth convocation, which took place on December 2, 2007.

Members of the Sverdlovsk branch of the A Just Russia party also received standing ovations on the Internet during the elections to the regional youth parliament in 2013. The posters depicted scantily clad girls and boys with party paraphernalia, and the slogans had obvious sexual overtones. Runet especially remembered the slogans “For justice to be born, it must be conceived!” We are already working, are you ready? and “My thong is in the political ring! Let’s make politics accessible to everyone!” A Just Russia did not renounce youth, despite the fact that the party is actively fighting for the morality of the younger generation through the hands of its deputy.

On Friday I gave the collected signatures to the TEC. They were accepted without any problems. There was one very subtle sign of trouble: according to the law, it was necessary to pay for the production of signature sheets from the election fund. To do this, I deposited 200 rubles into a savings bank account, immediately withdrew it, went and made 20 photocopies of the sheets and took the check.
So, the commission was interested in what funds were used to make the first sheet from which copies were made :)). But the answer “from the sample” suited them quite well.
In general, while the commission makes a good impression, the calm, adequate aunties, if they try to say some nasty thing, then sluggishly and quickly stop doing it, seeing my complacent mood and smiling face.

In the meantime, my sluggish election campaign should begin to take some form, since handing out a piece of paper with printed text is somehow not cool. The process of working on the leaflet is quite interesting, especially considering that I also participated in the development of leaflets for another candidate, Vera Kichanova. Let's start with mine.

I really don’t like to somehow participate in processes if I don’t understand anything about them, so my goal was to immediately find a designer whose work suits me, and give him complete freedom of action and only accept (or not accept) the work. I really didn’t want to say “move a letter here and change the color here.” I found it, we did a photo shoot, he made options, I liked it :). It remains to change the text a little, but in general everything will look like this:

I haven’t changed the text yet, I’ll remove the information about education there, most likely, and I’ll also make a couple of minor changes, but in general it will be like this.

*upd: in the end I completely changed the text, and it turned out like this:

Also on the advice of one of the commentators on the previous post, we decided to draw a map of the area and mark on it the things that I want to change.

In general, if everything was more or less normal with my leaflet, then with Vera it was much more interesting :)

At the libertarian meeting I was at, they actively discussed this version of the leaflet

At the meeting, I didn’t say anything on this topic, but after it, Vera asked on Skype what I thought about this story, and we chatted about a collective discussion by non-professionals of some thing that professionals should do.
After that, Vera found a cool designer who came up with this:

It’s clearly clear that the photo is not very good, so I paid a friendly visit to South Tushino with my portrait photographers, which I love so much, and photographed the candidate

In the end this is what happened:

In posts about design, people quite often rage, and once again I ask you to remain calm, do not suggest that anyone rip or cut anything off, do not use bad words, and generally do not make it unpleasant for the designers who did this to read the comments.

The elections of deputies to the State Duma of Russia are getting closer, and more and more election campaigning is appearing on the streets of Russian regions. With 14 political parties on the ballot this year, there are more posters, banners and billboards this August than ever before. Some of them are quite funny. the site has collected the funniest and most ridiculous examples of propaganda materials.

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-member constituencies, and due to standard design and non-standard slogans, they increasingly come into 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 homeland of stoats. In fact, of course, the leaflet has nothing to do with furry animals: Gornostaev is the candidate’s last name. But it’s painfully funny to read the slogan of a candidate to whom the technologists, perhaps by mistake, or perhaps on purpose, in order to increase recognition, did not even add the initials of the nominee.

Another nominee from the party, Valery Ivanov, became famous throughout the Internet with the slogan “Stop wrapping snot around your fist!” A retired colonel stares sternly at voters from posters. With this, you really won’t be picking your nose.

In general, Rodina exploits the militancy recklessly. Maria Katasonova, who is running in Moscow, punches voters in the nose from her poster. The girl uses the Airborne Forces motto “Nobody but us” on the poster, but the leaflet does not say what relation the candidate herself has to the airborne troops.

The latest victim of funny bloggers from among the Rodina candidates is Natalya Pogorelova, who is running in the Krasnodar single-mandate constituency. A teacher at the College of Law, Economics and Management is going to the polls under the slogan “Strong Woman of Strong Russia” and was photographed wearing army paraphernalia. " Why is she wearing a private cap and an officer’s shirt? Or are they now starting to issue such shirts to privates? Well then, again, not according to the regulations: the shirt is from the dress uniform, and the cap is from the everyday uniform", political scientist Alexey Chesnakov asks on Facebook.

However, members of Rodina are, of course, not the only ones producing propaganda gems this season. We have already written about the catchy slogan of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation “Strength excites” and a video with a call to vote for “Stalin’s ten blows to capitalism” from the Communists of Russia party. But the matter, of course, did not stop there.

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

United Russia doesn't have any particular problems with the content, but the grammar and placement of the propaganda let us down again. Before voters had time to forget the Volgograd poster about new roads against the backdrop of potholes and potholes in the road surface, United Russia pleased with a quote from Putin about a decent life for older people right in front of the city cemetery. " Poster at the entrance to the Pokrovskoye Cemetery. Hinting at a cause-and-effect relationship?“Russian State University for the Humanities teacher Alexander Shubin sneers on Facebook.

In addition to cemeteries, United Russia members, as it turned out, really like to campaign for themselves in hospitals. Blogger Maxim Abrakhimov posted on his Facebook a photograph of posters of two candidates from the party in power: Elena Serova and Evgeny Aksakov in one of the medical institutions in the Moscow region. " We visited our aunt at the Yegoryevsk regional hospital. Inside, in all possible places, every 10 meters, there is campaigning for United Russia candidates to the State and Moscow Regional Dumas. Is this legal, I wonder...", the blogger asks.

Political scientist Konstantin Kalachev noticed a spelling error on the poster of the United Russia candidate. " The game has been time-tested, but not proofread. Serious should be written with a soft sign, not a hard one.", the political scientist sneers on his Facebook.

“Yabloko” has everything in order with spelling, but with creativity – not so much. At the end of last week, cubes with party propaganda appeared throughout Moscow with the juicy slogan “The New Apple is You” and a large portrait of Grigory Yavlinsky. Bloggers, seeing this, burst out with bile: you can’t call anyone other than Yavlinsky, one of the founders of the party, the new “Yabloko”.

“A Just Russia”, after the failure with Oksana Dmitrieva, whose image was used on propaganda posters in St. Petersburg, began to treat banner advertising more carefully. But the video of the Just Russia people on the blog of election advertising on Russian TV made Internet users laugh a lot. The fact is that according to Russian laws, no one except candidates can be used in election campaigning, and the party members wanted a bright image. " In the video for A Just Russia, all the actors are candidates. We can say that the Socialist Revolutionaries do not have candidates, but simply an acting club. We look forward to new roles, writes political scientist Pavel Danilin on Facebook. - The candidate plays a pregnant village woman".

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

It turns out that elections are not so much responsible and important, but a lot of fun. Moreover, voters have another entertainment ahead: pre-election debates of candidates for deputies, many of whom do not mince words, and sometimes talk utter nonsense. In general, until September 18, we will have many reasons to laugh.

Elections are an ancient procedure known throughout the world. In everyday life, we also constantly make choices. We choose our friends, choose a product in a store, choose an educational institution to study at, and much more.

Let's try to figure out what elections are for Russia, let's go back to those distant times, to the very beginning, even before Vladimir Monomakh. The history of elections in Russia begins in the 9th century. The city of Veliky Novgorod was called “the center of the Russian land” and the residents of the city decided by voting who to call the prince. Elections were also held in the Novgorod Trade Republic - the Novgorod Assembly. The Tatar-Mongol yoke led to the consolidation and centralization of Russian lands. This was also reflected in the veche, which gradually became a thing of the past. In the second half of the 15th century it ceased to exist in Novgorod.

Until the beginning of the 16th century, Russian tsars ruled autocratically and without limits. Ivan the Terrible convened Zemsky Councils, at which the most important issues that interested the tsar were discussed, but this body had purely advisory functions. Next - Time of Troubles. A militia led by Kuzma Minin and Prince Pozharsky was sent from Nizhny Novgorod to liberate Moscow. At this time, the so-called “Council of the Russian Land” was operating - a temporary government body created by the leaders of the second militia. In subsequent centuries, if the population was involved in government, it was only at the lowest level, the level of local self-government. Elders were elected, nobles elected leaders of the nobility (18th century).

The revolution of 1905 and the subsequent convocations of the 4 Dumas are the beginning of modernity. You can say that. It was then that Russians first learned what PR is (not a concept, but the very essence of the phenomenon) and were faced with an election campaign. The time of naivety quickly passed; people realized that the party’s program during the election race and its subsequent activities could be radically different. Men over 25 years of age were allowed to participate in the elections. Women, military personnel, wandering non-residents, and officials - governors, mayors, and police officers - did not receive the right to vote. In Russia in 1917, elections were held to the Constituent Assembly, as well as to the Soviets of Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' Deputies. In the Soviet Union, regional and district Councils were formed through elections. The elections were uncontested. Until 1936, elections in Russia were multi-stage, and then direct. In 1990, elections of people's deputies of the RSFSR were held, and on June 12, 1991, elections for the President of Russia were held for the first time.

Today in the Russian Federation, elections are held on the basis of universal, equal and direct suffrage by secret ballot, and the participation of citizens in elections is free and voluntary. The right to vote is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation as the right of citizens to elect and be elected to bodies of state power and local self-government. Our future depends on our choice.

The main law establishing our rights and obligations is the Constitution of the Russian Federation, adopted on December 12, 1993. And the entire modern Russian statehood is also based on the Constitution. State power in the Russian Federation is exercised on the basis of its division into legislative, executive and judicial. We elect the Head of State (President), Heads of District Administrations and Heads of Rural Settlements and deputies to government bodies at all levels.

The purpose of elections is to reveal the will of the people. For this purpose, we have universal, direct and secret voting - this is the election formula. The Constitution of the Russian Federation states: “Citizens of the Russian Federation have the right to elect and be elected to government bodies and local self-government bodies...”. Referendums and free elections are the highest expression of people's power.

We are coming of age, this is the time of formation of our life principles and a time of irrepressible energy. We have to learn to work, defend our views without the safety net of adults, and take responsibility for our actions.
In addition, adulthood is the age when a young person receives the right to touch government affairs. An 18-year-old citizen acquires the right to vote, that is, he acquires active suffrage. One famous person (Bulgarian economist Nathan Jacques Primo) said: “Bad statesmen are elected by good citizens... who do not vote.” Therefore, you need to vote. Everyone must make their own choice. And it is especially important that our ancestors had no choice, but we have it!
