They have already recorded a huge number of violations,” said Alexei Voloko, representative of the Yabloko headquarters. “Most of them are associated with discontinuating certificates. The egregious case was registered in the Chelyabinsk region. The polling station was opened an hour earlier. When our observers came, they were reported for an hour already.
