Modern Orwell

Russia refused to answer questions from the European Court of Human Rights in the case of election fraud in St. Petersburg in 2011.

Instead, as it turned out, on November 13 of this year, i.e. three years after the elections, they turned to law enforcement agencies, accusing the applicants to the ECHR of falsifying copies of protocols on the election results, which became evidence in the courts.

Previously, these copies of the protocols had gone through Russian courts, which were unable to explain why the observers' protocols differed from the published protocols.

But not once in a Russian court was it said that these protocols were false.

The Russian court refused everything without looking into it.

Now the ECHR has questions. The authorities have nothing to answer them with.

And it is impossible to influence the court.

We decided to go from the other side. The link is a very interesting publication from the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation about how the St. Petersburg police conducted an investigation into facts of fraud, but not of elections, but of the protocols of dissatisfied observers and candidates.

They seemed to confirm the falsifications, but did not open a case because the deadline had passed...

Everything is moving somewhere very quickly.
