What a very constructive and civilized meeting to have. It's what we who have been trying to get a proportional representation electoral system in Canada hope for: where politicians of different parties co-operate for the sake of the greater good.

Of course none of this will get an accurate reporting in the west as its completely outside the mental framework of the over-class.

You said this was a 45 minute "chat." The content, meaning and commitment in their speech is a thing to behold. One would have to consult the history books to find this kind of political dialogue in the US.

Our two parties are propaganda parties: their fight against each other has far too little connection to the needs of the country or our citizens.

It would be impossible for either party in the US to so clearly state goals of helping all the people and the entire country, much less for the two parties to sit down together and have an adult dialogue.

Is politics possible in the US?

As noted in many other comments, the West cannot understand what is in fact happening in Russia.

Once again an amazing meeting and transcript-thank you

- who could imagine this kind of post electoral meeting?....which raises points not often mentioned - the lack of doctors severe wage imbalances, rural exodus, the need for immigrants, the return of explicitly Soviet ideas and programs

The devil is in the details, and I appreciate your efforts to share the full transcripts and speeches of VVP and each of the candidates. Instead of the confrontational and even combative tactics that are ‘par for the course’ in Western politics (and governance, sadly) each candidate spoke of the issues that their respective constituents felt were important and perhaps not adequately addressed in the current government. I didn’t see or read any disagreements - more like a sentiment of “yes, it’s a problem and we need to do more- here’s what we’ve been doing and let’s increase spending sensibly to bring greater relief to the citizens in need “. His ability to listen and respond with real and accurate facts and numbers is astounding- definitely the “sharpest knife in the drawer!”

I find it amazing how VVP will get involved with and discuss the most mundane matters.

Prostiticians in the west just parrot glib one liners and don't associate themselves with anything other than their orders from the scum at the top and their next election.
