Putin's Plan Page Content Page Name (for URL) Page Title Don't put anything here Breadcrumb Text Russia is having parliamentary elections tomorrow. For the last four years, the parliament didn't really have any role in Russia, but now things are slightly interesting, since Putin is promising to not run again and the general opinion seems to be that that he will try to control the country through parliament, where his party is expected to win anywhere from 60 to 75% of the vote. The rhetoric seems to be that due to this strange thing called Consitution, "Putin's Plan" for Russia is in danger, yet being the noble supporter of democracy that he is, Putin is not going change the constitution even though the people would want him to. So, the conclusion, if you want "Putin's Plan" to continue, you are supposed to go and vote for party, so that god forbid they don't end up with less than a qualified majority in parliament. A band from Vladivostok with a somewhat untranslatable name "Korean LËDchiki" came up with a rather amusing [song](http://files.realmusic.ru/mp3/2/46332/korled_plan_putina_372263.mp3), entitled "Putin's Plan," exploiting the fact that the Russian word for "plan" also happens to be a slang for marijuana. I hope the author's won't mind my attempt at loose translation into English (the Russian original is [here](http://hachipury.livejournal.com/860942.html)): > Let our enemies squirm in their hatred, > Let them secrete bile in the impotence, > Very soon their pitiful days will be over: > Putin's Plan is the plan for Russia's restoration! > There are really are no alternatives to the president, > There is one national leader: Vladimir Putin. > Under his guidance the Russian world would unite, > President Vladimir Putin is hour hero and model. > Russian people are greeting him with an ovation: > He can do everything, the country is his hands. > Putin's Plan will open new horizons. > It's stop destroying and to start creating. > The presidents address is the holy word, > Outlined by him at the moment of highest enlightenment. > Glory to Russian and glory to Moscow, > Putin is a knight of legends. > We believe in our strength, and this is the most important. > We know that with Putin's Plan everything is possible. > Our great Christian country is rising. > Putin, God and United Russia are with us.
