Four portraits. Drawings.


I am browsing through one of the online editions. I heard on the radio about possible electricity power outages due to repair works. I need to get a more accurate information.


I see a portrait of a resident of a distant country (overseas). Someone said recently something about a girl who was very unlucky in a foreign subway. Maybe this is the online material about this case? I start reading.


I feel perplexed: for what reason did they post this biographical material in this online publication? Apparently, this is some kind of cultural, civilizational project. A set of biographical portraits of serial killers - but not of Russian, but of foreign ones.


I continue reading.


This "nice" man was put in prison many times. He went out and did some bad things. He was detained (almost by accident) for a relatively minor offense, and he began (almost by accident) to talk about his "exploits". To everybody's surprise, a terrible picture unfolded...


His mother gave birth to him when she was about twelve years old.


He has ten brothers and sisters from different fathers.


His mother was on trial for murder, but the court decided that she had self-defense.


His older brother was executed for murder.


I need to read something lighter.


One of the rural areas of the Rostov oblast.


The author of the material (an employee of the online edition) takes crime reports and publications on social networks as a basis.


A certain reckless driver killed two girls, each of whom was 17 years old.


From social networks it is clear that he arrived from the southern regions.


The racer publishes his photos with pumped up muscles. He is a top-class racer, but he does not drive on race tracks, but on the streets of remote settlements of the Rostov oblast.


It is unclear what his occupation (job) is. But his cars are becoming more expensive.


It is interesting that he was involved in several accidents with several seriously injured citizens.


Correspondence on social networks shows a great enthusiasm, a desire to reach the heights of racing art.


One accident. Another accident. Finally, the death of two girls.


And here is another material. This is a stream of almost positive information.


A positive person! (He lives somewhere near the racer). Lawyer (member of the bar association?), teacher, participant of a special military operation (SMO)!


An influential acquaintance calls him and asks him to run for deputy. At beginning, he needs to go through the primaries. If I understand a mechanism of procedures correctly, then if a candidate from a party wins the primaries, the party puts him up for election. And this candidate is almost guaranteed to receive a deputy seat.


I look at his photo. A nice person! (A native of the Don land).


Family: wife, children.


So, he applied to participate in the primaries. A SMO participant has every chance of winning the primaries: since SMO participants are given (automatically, due to their special status) 25 percent of the votes additionally, and this is a virtually guaranteed victory in the primaries. There is great excitement in local political circles: a new person in the deputy corps?!


But suddenly the 'new deputy' is overcome with surprise: isn't democracy a competition in elections?? Why they force him to withdraw his candidacy?!!!


His accounts (in social networks) have been hacked! (I recall the most famous Russial historian - the leader of the Russial studies of the era of Napoleon. During the baiting of this historian, historian's accounts were also hacked.).


The 'new deputy' is afraid for his wife and children!


That's strange! How can he be afraid? He is the SMO participant, he is a teacher, he is a lawyer, he is a candidate from the party!


He is very surprised! I am afraid to use the word 'scared'.


It seems that he is not such a significant figure in the local political firmament. Well, they run over (went after) him in a cool way. It is clear that these people have well-pumped muscles and a great charge of vivacity and audacity.


I read and read, and at last I understood - through a comparison of different facts - that the supporter of democracy withdrew his candidacy from the primaries.


But why didn't the employee of the online edition (journalist) write about this fact directly and clearly: after all, it is not necessarily the candidate withdraws his candidacy (voluntarily)? Can a candidacy be withdrawn from the elections in connection of various reasons?
