Moscow has instructed VKontakte and Odnoklassniki to attract Russian citizens to the presidential elections. This was reported by the Russian opposition media “Meduza” and “The Bell”.
“They provide an opportunity to work with groups – to find out problematic issues and explain, so to speak, to the saleswoman from Pyaterochka that she’s f****d if she doesn’t go and vote”,- a political strategist familiar with the situation told reporters.
The presidential administration notes that the so-called leaders of public opinion should promote the need to participate in the elections, that is, they will involve both bloggers and education system workers – teachers. They will be coordinated by the “Dialogue” Autonomous Non-Profit Organization.
To ensure attendance, official pages of ministries and government agencies will be used. According to the source, for all this governors will give them passwords from their official accounts.
