7.50 I come to the polling station No. 86 at the address: Moscow, st. Krasina, d. 27. Chairman of the commission Zadchenkova V.I. It accepts my direction from the “apple”, after which it reports that they do not have free chairs and in general - I have to stand at the far end of the polling station, so as not to interfere with voters. To my response: “Thank you, there is no need in the chair, and I can safely move around the territory of the election commission”, I am once again repeated that I should not move around this very territory.
8.10 The polling station is open, however, urns for voting at home have not yet been sealed. V.I. Shows me 3 (!) Urns and seals them before my eyes.
8.35 An unknown woman came up to me, who then was not present on the site, and offered to go to the toilet with her. In the toilet, accompanied by 3 men, she says that I should call a certain person, whose surname I hear for the first time, because I must pay for the observation of the elections. I am trying to explain that I am here on a voluntary basis, which leads to the next counterargument: "They pay everyone and they must."
10.43 According to observers estimates, 100 ballots were lowered into the urns.
11.00 Vera Ivanovna recalls me and persistently offers to go to the store, because The commissions did not buy coffee. In response to my refusal, it pronounces something inarticulate and leaves.
12.30 300 voted.
12.45 from the territory of the election commission, foreign journalists are removed under the pretext that no applications were received from them in advance. Along the way, it turns out that the chairman of the election commission prohibits any photo or video.
14.00 V.I. It offers me to go with the election commission for voter apartments. At 14:00, 22 statements were registered from those who want to vote at home.
14.07 The first representative of the VN arrest commission, an employee of the SHOM, and I am departing to the indicated addresses.
15.20 we are returning from voters, we are going to sign the protocol. After a couple of minutes, the secretary bursts into the commission’s room with the words "Vera Ivanovna, we have an emergency." It turns out that one of the voters was present at the stuffing of the ballots, but he rejected the proposal to write a complaint.
15.43 The approximate number of voting - 1089. The chairman of the commission persistently proposes to leave the site under the pretext of visiting another voter at home. The refusal responds in a sharp form: "Well, you can behave humanly!"
18.10 1340 voted.
19.59 I and the observer from the Communist Party of the Communist Party of 1504 voted.
20.00 The doors of the commission are closed, it was decided to take a thirty -minute break. The chairman grabs my hand and is trying to take me to the 2nd floor, because I "cannot be near the urns." Having received the answer that I will not move from the place of this and this is my right, V.I. Still, he leaves as part of the commission, leaving me and the observer from the Communist Party on the ground floor under the supervision of two police officers.
21.45 Counts are not started. At the far wall, at a distance of about 15 meters from stationary urns, I found a portable urn No. 2. The other two portable urns are in the office of the commission.
22.00 to my question, when they begin to count, I receive an answer: “In the legislation it is not stated that we cannot rest. We are tired, come from here. "

22.20 Police officers who are on the site are trying to get the answer to the question from observers: "Why do you need all this (observation)?" At the same time, they say that we do not need to take part in anything, since "everyone has already decided without you." A little later, a girl in shape voices a murderous argument: “The FSB explodes the subway. And after that you want to achieve something? "
22.55 The counting of voter lists begins. According to the lists, 1477 ballots were issued on the territory of 86 of the site.
23.50 The calculation of unused ballots - 615. To the question of the observers: “Where else are 386 bulletins?”, The chairman replies that the Filatov hospital was attached to the site and there is a fourth, which was previously unrelated, with which one of the commission members was sent to the hospital. Member of the Commission of Arrests V.N. It requires the elimination of the contents of 4 urn and non -disclosure of these ballots when counting votes. The chairman of the commission Vera Ivanovna replies that she needs to call the TIC - to consult with the leadership.

01.10 I call the police and please accept the application for falsification at the polling station No. 86, consistently settling the above information.
03.35 Tengchenkova Vera Ivanovna agrees to recognize the contents of 4 urn invalid. The urn is opened in the presence of the commission and observers. Inside there are 210 ballots, folded in a perfectly even stack. All 210 “voted” for United Russia. To my question, where are another 156 ballots, I get an answer: “You know, we still had urn No. 2, but then let's then we can cancel what is in it, because no one went anywhere with her.” 38 ballots were found in the urn No. 2. Thus, at 04-00 in the morning Moscow time at the polling station No. 86 in the presence of all members of the commission and two observers 248 ballots were repaid (in addition to 615 unused, which were written above).
05.00 Urna No. 1 and Urna No. 2 are opened. 1607 ballots were found in the urns (instead of 1477 issued on the lists and 22 voted at home). The commission, represented by the chairman, agreed to pay off another 130 ballots for United Russia, recognizing them with a stuffing.

07.00 The final recalculation of votes. The results are displayed in the protocol.

01.32 I open the CEC site. The results of the CEC in 86 are different from the protocol indicated in the protocol issued to me:

That is, after the closure of the polling station, the counting and issuance of protocols, the number of “voters” increased by a total of 770 people.

The result of the appearance according to the CEC:

Thus, the difference between the real results reflected in the protocol and information on the site under paragraphs 4 and 10 is 767 and 784 ballots, respectively.
