How to do


A participant in the primary elections of candidates from United Russia to the Barnaul City Duma, Marina Chauzova, proposed renaming Barnaul to Putinberg or Putingrad. In her opinion, this is how urban problems can be solved, in particular with public utilities. The leadership of the Altai branch of United Russia emphasized that the proposals of potential candidates are not the position of the party. Experts are confident that such statements will not bring victory to Ms. Chauzova in the primaries. A participant in the United Russia primaries and entrepreneur Marina Chauzova expressed a proposal to rename the city at a party debate on the topic of “effective public utilities.” “I would like to propose renaming our city,” said Mrs. Chauzova. “What, in honor of the leader of Russia. He is even the leader not only of Russia, but of the whole world. Just think, from 1999 to the present, how Russia has risen from its knees. Maybe rename it in honor of this leader (Barnaul.-“Kommersant”

): Putinberg or Putingrad."

When asked by the moderator how this proposal relates to public utilities, the participant in the primaries replied that after the renaming, “everything will immediately become effective.” “Barnaul will rise from its knees, and development will be comprehensive: public utilities, people will become kinder, and the city budget will be sufficient,” she added.

Ms. Chauzova is a non-party member and holds the post of deputy general director in a company that provides legal advice on housing and communal services issues. Marina Chauzova admitted to Kommersant that she did not expect that after what was said “she would wake up famous in the morning.” Ms. Chauzova said that the video from the debate was distributed on the Internet in a truncated version. In particular, they cut out part of her speech, where she proposed a different approach to approving tariffs for housing and communal services, as well as her vision regarding the resettlement of residents from dilapidated and dilapidated houses. “Renaming the city is an extreme measure. It is clear that an opinion is needed local residents

and President Vladimir Putin,” she said.

Secretary of the regional branch of the party, Alexander Romanenko, noted that the debate is “a platform where various initiatives are voiced,” but emphasized that the proposals of the participants are not the official position of the party.

Experts agreed that it is easy to gain widespread fame through such statements, but this will not bring political points. “In Barnaul there is no public request for any renaming. There is a request for a solution current problems. And residents want to see more specific proposals from primaries participants,” says political strategist Dmitry Fetisov. “I know Marina from participating in the preliminary voting of United Russia before the elections to the Legislative Assembly of the Altai Territory and the State Duma last year. And then bright statements were made. As a result, she lost the primaries. I assume that she did not draw any conclusions,” says political scientist Konstantin Emeshin. Political strategist Andrei Troshkin noted that such statements “amuse the public, but cannot lead to a mandate.”

The Russian Federation is sliding by leaps and bounds towards totalitarianism, it is not at all accidental in last years There are calls in the Russian media to rename Volgograd to “Stalingrad”; various “social activists”, encouraged by the Russian authorities, are trying to erect monuments to Stalin.

The country is rapidly moving towards bankruptcy: it is no coincidence that bills appear on additional taxation of childless citizens and on the eviction of 1.6 million people from the center of Moscow under the guise of “renovation”. Therefore, the Putin regime is trying to revive totalitarianism in one form or another.

In this vein, the party's initiative looks interesting." United Russia"rename the city of Barnaul in Altai to "Putingrad" (by analogy Leningrad - Stalingrad - #Putingrad): https://www.znak.com/2017-05-21/na_praymeriz_edinoy_rossii_predlozhili_pereimenovat_barnaul_v_putingrad

One of the participants in the United Russia intra-party primaries taking place in the city suggested renaming Barnaul in honor of Vladimir Putin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO3ZlWxTbV8

Marina Chauzova, who is seeking party nomination in the elections, argued her proposal by saying that an inefficient economy simply cannot remain in a city named after the national leader.

“I would like to propose renaming our city. And what? In honor of the leader. We have a leader in Russia who is permanent. He is even the leader not only of Russia, but of the whole world. Think for yourself: from 1999 to the present, if you analyze it, look at how Russia rose from its knees. Maybe we should rename ourselves in honor of this leader? For example, Putinberg or Putingrad,” said a participant in the primaries during her speech. Her speech was published on his Facebook page by political strategist Konstantin Malyshev.

When asked by the leader of the primaries how this proposal relates to the topic of improving the situation in Barnaul’s housing and communal services, Chauzova answered without being at a loss. She expressed confidence that this would immediately bring efficiency to the entire city economy. In her opinion, after such a renaming, Barnaul will simply be obliged to begin introducing “technologies for raising Russia from its knees,” writes.

Inspired by her idea, Marina Chauzova continued to campaign for it on her personal page on VKontakte.

She recalled that there are three settlements with the name Barnaul, and this, according to the candidate in the primaries, is a clear overkill, causing her genuine indignation. “This fact causes indignation because there are quite a lot of Barnauls for Russia. Wherein folk wisdom says that whatever you name the ship, that’s how it will sail,” says Chauzova’s page. In her opinion, city residents themselves should choose a new name for the city, but personally she would offer another option - Putinburg.

The local community reacted rather ironically to Marina Chauzova’s proposal. In particular, the Altai-Press publication organized a vote on its website for various options for city names, in which the surname is somehow mentioned Russian President. Among the proposed variations are St. Putinburg, Putinaul, Altaputin, Putin-on-Obi, Los Putinos and even a compromise version of Barnaul named after Vladimir Putin. However, half of the virtual survey participants had already chosen the “No need to rename” option.

It’s interesting that Russia already has Putingrad - at least, this is the unofficial name assigned to Nizhny Tagil in the Sverdlovsk region.

It is generally accepted that this city is exemplary in terms of electoral support for Vladimir Putin, who knows about this, reciprocates Tagil’s feelings and even supposedly has personal control over the city’s preparations for the 300th anniversary.

The emergence of such a stereotypical perception of Nizhny Tagil was also facilitated by the unexpected appointment to the post of presidential envoy in the Ural federal district, undertaken in 2012. Let us recall that this post was occupied by the head of the Uralvagonzavod workshop, Igor Kholmanskikh, who, on the direct line of then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, called for tougher treatment of the organizers and participants of protests in Moscow and others major cities and even expressed his readiness to come “with men on tanks” to restore order in the regional center - Yekaterinburg.

At first it seemed like a joke, but no: she was serious.

Meet: she is the candidate for deputy of the local Duma from United Russia, Marina Chauzova. Today at a party debate, a woman suddenly proposed renaming Barnaul in honor of Vladimir Putin. In a short but fiery speech, she said that as soon as the city was renamed, everything would “immediately become effective.”

It’s better to watch Chauzova’s monologue on video. This is a masterpiece.

“So, I would like to propose renaming our city... What? In honor of the leader. We have a leader in Russia. Unchangeable. Even the leader not only of Russia, but of the whole world.

Think for yourself, from 1999 to the present, if you carry out an analysis, look at how Russia has risen from its knees. Maybe we should rename ourselves in honor of this leader? For example, well, Putinberg or Putingrad. Well, why not? Just maybe it’s worth thinking about?”

The presenter asked how this proposal relates to public utilities - the main topic of the meeting. Chauzova said that as soon as the city is renamed, everything will immediately become effective: “Using technologies for raising Russia from its knees, we also use them.”

At first I thought - the woman blurted out, there was nothing to say on the topic of the meeting. But she liked the idea herself.

But really, what if she gets elected?
