Famous actress Anna Snatkina has decided to enter politics. The artist is running for the State Duma. From her online page, she urged fans to vote for her on 22 May.

 «В моей жизни начинается новый, очень важный этап: участие в общественно-политической жизни страны. Всю свою энергию, жизненный опыт, наработанный авторитет приложу к решению тех проблем, что волнуют, меня, Вас и всех избирателей. Актёрское сообщество выдвинуло мою кандидатуру в депутаты Государственной Думы СФ РФ от Партии "Единая Россия". Нам предстоит поднять на мировой уровень всю киноотрасль, прежде всего, в детском и семейном кино, решить проблемы сохранения культурного наследия, заботы о ветеранах кино, поддержки молодых артистов. … (A new, very important stage is beginning in my life: participation in the socio-political life of the country. I will apply all my energy, life experience, and earned authority to solving the problems that concern me, you, and all voters. The acting community nominated me as a candidate for the State Duma of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation from the "United Russia" Party. We need to raise the entire film industry to a world level, primarily in children's and family cinema, solve the problems of preserving cultural heritage, caring for film veterans, and supporting young artists. …)

The preliminary vote for candidates to the State Duma from the "United Russia" party will take place on 22 May.
I ask for your support!
Come and vote for me!», - Anna wrote on Instagram.

However, she found no support among her subscribers. Rather, the opposite happened: Snatkina was hit by a wave of criticism. Most fans are convinced that the actress has no business in politics.

Anna is far from the first actress to try to conquer the political arena.
