In Yekaterinburg, a fake campaign advertisement has appeared mocking pro-Kremlin political party United Russia. Posters bearing the phrase “There is no money, but you hang in there” have appeared in dozens of location across the city.
The Ministry of State Property Management of the Sverdlovsk Region, of which Yekaterinburg is a part, has said that 120 such posters have been taken down so far.
During a May visit to Crimea, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev told a local woman who confronted him about low pensions in Russia that “there's simply no money right now." He also implored the retirees present at the meeting to “hang in there,” before wishing them good health and high spirits.
