Ha. ha. ha.
No, I was totally after voiting for her, and was in a pool of her initial signings. But having that toothless candidate who's just for the peaceful sky and everything being nice, and progressive, just declined,
a candidate that could've been collected like 5% on votes in march,
it shows, how fragile and scared these apparatchiks, or rather chekists are.
They want none even questioning war. They fear Tikhanovskaya 2.0, everyone cooperating against the regime under one, any banner, their campaign as a general protest. Just as a possibility.
I don't feel like her campaign could do that much, or even a fraction of what fearless, furious belarusian bastards did in 2020 before russian corps got involved
(and you need to fucking note it, and pay for the first round for them if you meet any),
but even that little is scary to them. And it speaks volumes more than any queries into public opinion done in decaying police state with a raging propaganda.
I don't want to be too positive about that and say tis' are bad news, but also a slight promise of good news, or something. At many points before like in 2011 I hoped that's the time the straw would break a donkey's back, and they just kept on going.
But she's no Navalny, no Nemtsov, just a nobody, and they shut her off. And it means something.
Do not worry comrade. If uncle putin dont like her then she probably stand too close to window.
I wonder if he even knows about her. Guy's like stuck in the ninghties, and everything he gets is in printed papers. There's a doubt someone even said to him she exists.
And defenestration is too far in her roadmap, still. She didn't even said any ugly words like 'war', or even 'lustration'. Duntsova has much to do to claim her out-of-the-window voyage. And, still, got denied.
