“You are the first to receive trustee certificates today. <…> You are all great professionals, people who enjoy great respect and authority in society. Therefore, I am confident that together with you we will establish an effective direct connection between our candidate and the citizens of our great country,” Mashkov said.
He emphasized that Putin’s proxies have a great responsibility – they have been delegated the important mission of conducting direct dialogue with Russian citizens on behalf of the candidate.
