“Vedomosti” today write that the Communist Party nevertheless decided to file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights on the cancellation of elections to the State Duma.

Kommersant comes out with an article on the inspection of passengers at railway stations. At 32 stations of Russia, having spent 32 billion rubles, Russian Railways installed inspection zones. Now at the stations everything will be the same as at airports. The only exception is that the Russian Railways has no legal framework for such inspections: they did not have time to amend the legislation. So to inspect at the stations from April 1 will be illegal.

Izvestia reports that the working group under the Public Chamber by order of the United Russia, which was close to the United Russia, conducted a study on nationalist moods in Russia. It is believed that in the parliamentary elections in 2016 the party of nationalists can go to the Duma.

But, unfortunately, the main Russian newspapers do not write about this - the “swamp business”: the defense of Denis Lutskevich filed an appeal about the extension of the arrest. The case is listened today in the Moscow City Court. There will be my colleague Anna Kachurovskaya, promised to keep in the know.
