Politicians and other famous people have surprised and continue to amaze with duplicity when, from the screens, for example, they utter words that they don’t live by themselves. They consider this the norm, but the country's population is constantly shocked by their behavior.
It is considered normal for “servants of the people” to say one thing and do another, that is, what is personally beneficial for them.
What are the double standards?
The most striking example from the judicial system, the theft case in the Ministry of Defense is currently being investigated. Under house arrest is a lady who owns a multi-room apartment in the center of Moscow. In the village, or simply in the province, thieves are taken into custody for stealing potatoes from the common basement and they receive real sentences of imprisonment. Moreover, they will take away the potatoes, and they will write out a fine. But the stolen billions of dollars from the state are not returned to the treasury, and property is not confiscated.
If ordinary people cannot hunt in reserved places, then the powers that be are allowed to build even houses in the nature protection zone. On the seashore or other body of water, they can fence off the territory in such a way that the population of the nearest settlements does not have access to water. And our water resources belong to the state and are generally accessible.
Mansions worth several million euros look especially vivid when people’s salaries allow them to make such savings over hundreds of years.
The leader of one of the factions, a very famous politician, broadcasts from the screens about the sanctity of family ties, he himself is married for the fourth time, the last wife is 30 years younger. A great many such examples can be cited when the slogans uttered in the election program sharply diverge from the real state of things.
