Voting for the symbol of the five-hundred-ruble coin has become hot: Why split society?

The Central Bank holds a vote to choose the symbol of the 500-ruble banknote. The fight turned out to be too hot and went beyond a simple competition.

The Central Bank is going to update the design of the 500-ruble banknote and is holding a vote to select the symbol.

"The 500-ruble banknote is dedicated to the city of Pyatigorsk and The North Caucasus Federal District," the Central Bank reports.

The voting immediately became hot and hot — like the Caucasus itself. According to the Central Bank, on October 12, the leaders of the vote are Mount Elbrus and Grozny City. They left the rest of the competing characters far behind, gaining more than a million votes each. While "Mount Elbrus" is going with a margin of slightly more than 120 thousand votes.

"After the Central Bank finally began to slightly restore order in its voting on the redesign of 500-ruble bills, and when the possibility of markups was turned off, outraged official voices of lobbyists were heard ... alternative to Elbrus. They say, why did the Central Bank organize all this at all if they can't provide an honest and transparent vote," writes the telegram channel MIG of Russia.

"We cannot but agree with such a statement of the issue. Really, why?", — the authors of the telegram channel wondered.

In the MOMENT of Russia, it was suggested that the best option would be to cancel the vote splitting society and leave the fundamentally important meanings: Peter the Great and the Orthodox monastery.

"If it is canceled, it is precisely because of the split in society. And not because "you can't prevent it, head it," the telegram channel noted.
