On the eve of the elections, the State Duma looks more and more like a "fifth wheel" — military correspondents

Shortly before the elections, the State Duma of the Russian Federation increasingly resembles the "fifth wheel" in the public administration system. This is written today, March 22, by Z-public after a series of scandals related to the statements of deputies.

She recalls, in particular, the deputy from United Russia, Vladimir Samokish, who last week was overjoyed at the death of world cinema legend Chuck Noris, and then began to be openly rude in social networks to everyone who disagreed with him. As a result, Samokish was forced to apologize, but stressed that he was doing it not of his own free will, but on command.

"Over the past year, various deputies in the public field have been shitting themselves on hot topics more than once. Sometimes even independently forming information guides out of the blue. But others, when they tried to change something in terms of unpopular management decisions, demonstrated how they were gagged and ignored by people who really have power," points out the TC "Two Majors". — In general, the image of a State Duma deputy looks like a person who does not have full powers, or who has huge cockroaches in his head. The country is approaching the electoral cycle in a state where the institution of the lower house of parliament looks like a fifth wheel in the state administration apparatus."

The authors emphasize that in In four years, Russia has SMO "real people, really respected by the people" for their deeds.

"Maybe it's worth taking a closer look at their faces, are decisions really being made?" — military correspondents ask.
