Two days before the end of the All-Russian population census, the deputy head of Rosstat Pavel Smelov made an amazing statement: “At the moment, we have practically re-enumerated the entire population. There, over 99% has already been achieved".
“Either Rosstat is lying on an astonishing scale even for this organization. Either we end up in the wrong sample all the time! And we find ourselves in the minority. With the census, as it turned out, in the absolute!"
Novye Izvestia has already written about how the census is actually being conducted, as well as that, according to demographers, the results will be falsified by at least 30%. Here is another extremely revealing example of this.
He is quoted in his publication by the Novosibirsk writer Sergey Besedin:
“In Novosibirsk, volunteers were given instructions on what to do if the door was not opened for them (we are talking about the population census). It is recommended to fill out the questionnaire with the words of the neighbors... "If the neighbors' voices are included in the statistics, Smelova, then, of course, there are no questions...
Besedin himself wittily parodied this kind of conversation:
“I have a rough idea of how it might look.
- Hello, Grandma!
- Oh, hello, dear! Would you like some tea?
- No, grandma, I'm in a hurry. We are conducting a census here. Your neighbor, Alexey Petrovich Chesnokov, won't open the door for us.
- Here is a snake! It may not open like that. Antichrist!
- And what else can you tell about this antichrist? What age is he?
- He's middle age.
- So, forty years.
- No, forty no. Rather thirty. Or fifty.
- I'm writing 45.
- No, write 48. That will be more accurate.
- Education?
- Yes, what, son, my education! In those days, there was no time for education. Three classes, fourth corridor...
- Not with you, with Chesnokov.
- He, my dear, has something on the technical side. Radio technician or plumber. Do you remember? Or even a paramedic.
- I am writing - a lawyer.
- Yes, write what you want, who will check you...
- What is he doing now?
- He is a drunk. That's all the lesson. All of them are drunks, today's youth. And drug addicts.
- Married?
- Yeah, married. On a prostitute of some kind, Nadya.
- I am writing - self-employed. Can you tell me more about the level of income?
- And here I’m not sure for sure. His garbage is greasy in the bucket. Famous rubbish. I peeped. Either a skin of smoked sausage, or an empty coffee can. Once I threw out one-piece pants. Almost no holes. Write - forty thousand.
- I am writing sixty.
- Write one hundred. Let this parasite be taxed as they should.
- Well, keep it simple, grandma! Thanks for the help.
- How easy is it? Can you question me myself?
- Why question you? The neighbors will tell you everything..."
