The mayor also said that his closest ally, first deputy mayor Lyudmila Shvetsova, will go to the capital's parliament “hardly”.

In this regard, I think that it will remain in the executive branch. ”

Deputy Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Communist Party, Ivan Melnikov, did not agree with the opinion of the mayor of Moscow that the elections in the capital were calmly: “One of our comrades was first deleted from the site, and then beaten. They removed from the section of a member of the Central Election Commission with an advisory vote from the Communist Party, candidate for deputies of the Moscow City Duma Klychkov, removed the candidate for deputies of the Moscow City Duma, Hero of Russia Pavlov. "
And the first secretary of the Ministry of Defense of the Communist Party Vladimir Ulas said that the elections in Moscow caused him a "disgusting sensation."
“What is happening goes beyond all reasonable frames. It all started in the morning, when the so -called electoral “carousel” was recorded in the Southern District in the plots. Then the violations went on increasing. For example, no more than 400 people voted in one of the Sokol districts, according to observers, and 1,200 ballots were discovered in the urn. In the other area in a portable urn for voting was 141 ballots - the figure is completely unusual! “Violations are so egregious that I can’t understand why the authorities are doing this,” said Ulas on the party’s official website.
The leader of the Yabloko party, Sergei Mitrokhin, who was not able to overcome the seven percent barrier necessary for passing into parliament, said that he was sorry for Muscovites, whose interests in the Moscow City Duma will be defended only by two parties - United Russia and the Communist Party. Mr. Mitrokhin also emphasized that numerous violations were committed in the past elections.
“We were preparing for falsifications, and in the elections they were total in nature. In almost every district, there were stuffing ballots into election urns. We have evidence, audio recordings, in the near future we will send them to the prosecutor's office, ”Mitrokhin said.
The speaker of the Federation Council, the leader of the Just Russia party, Sergei Mironov, also stated that the results of the elections to the Moscow City Duma are raising serious questions from his party, the candidates from which did not go to the capital's parliament.
“We had expos-regulations, and completely different numbers appear in them. And in this regard, the results of the elections to the Moscow City Duma are caused by very serious doubts, ”Mironov emphasized.
LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky even stated that he considers the results of the election
“Fasted in favor of United Russia. The leader of the LDPR said that the voting results for the Communist Party and the LDPR were underestimated.
“Patriots of Russia”, “Yabloko” and “Fair Russia” scored just so many votes, they have honest results, and the votes of the Communist Party and the LDPR are underestimated, ”Zhirinovsky said on October 12.
