182: Super Easy Podcast "All the King's Men Vote!" (talking about elections in Russia)

Hi, friends! Parliamentary elections have just taken place in Russia. Some people are upset about the results, some are happy, but almost no one is surprised. In this episode, we'll explain in slow Russian how elections work in modern Russia. And in a big bonus for paid subscribers at the Progressive Learner tier and above, we sing a song about elections, search for the symbolic meaning of the phrase "ballot box," Nikita recalls how he lost the vote for Russia's national anthem, Sveta recalls losing the vote on her hometown's urban development, we discuss various mascot elections with unpredictable results, and as usual we show failed takes and bloopers.
