Nikolai Rybakov on Yabloko’s door to door municipal campaign
01.09.2017
That’s how we are conducting a door-to-door campaign. Nikolai Rybakov, YABLOKO Deputy Chairman, joined our candidates in campaigning.
“Today I and Natalia Novikova, our candidate in Orkhovo-Borisovo South, Moscow, have spoken to people from 100 flats. And now I would like to tell all our candidates in Moscow and our candidates in other regions – from Sakhalin [in the Far East] and all over the country: go and talk to people, it is the best way for the victory of our party in elections, there is no other variant for us. Don’t be afraid. Our party has never lied to people, betrayed them or stole anything. So you can look straight into people’s eyes and talk to them honestly and ask them of their support on [the voting day of] 10 September. So go ahead with your door-to-door campaign and meet people!” Rybakov said.
Natalia Novikova said that as a novice candidate she was initially shy to meet people in their houses, “I was at a loss. But after ten meetings I got confidence and even willingness to conduct my door-to-door campaign and persuade people to come to polling stations, that elections of municipal deputies are very important [to all of the residents], that municipal deputies on their level will be able to oust bureaucrats and make the opinion of the people decisive.”
