She's one of the "opposition" inspired, supported and controlled by US Embassy in Moscow. Experts predict her not more than 1% of votes.
I have seen a lot of scandals with her participation. She's just a selfish b*tch, a younger version of Hillary Clinton.
Sure she can not win but we are speaking about signs of the True Democracy. Even a open enemy of Russia has a chance to run.
Oh, all the opposition parties run for both President and Parliament (Duma) like crazy. But their problem is: they ARE NOT popular among Russians. After every huge defeat of theirs they prefer to blame Russian democracy and Putin.
A question to Putin: Mr President, Some are protesting in social media, others are taking to the streets. Is that
an opposition? Are you prepared to talk to anyone among them?
Vladimir Putin:
I am prepared to talk to everyone who really aims to improve people's lives, to resolve the issues facing the country, but not the ones who use existing difficulties – and there are always enough difficulties anywhere you go – to promote their own political agenda. Using difficulties as a tool for self-promotion and in order to cash in politically, only aggravates them.
Some of them are using difficulties to their own advantage. Instead, they should offer solutions. Those who offer solutions deserve our closest attention. They are entitled to maintain a dialogue with the authorities. This is what we are going to do.
