The associates of Ivan Rybkin, who was registered on Saturday, a presidential candidate, cannot find him for almost two days. This was reported on Saturday by Interfax, the head of the election headquarters of Rybkin Ksenia Ponomareva.
“I can’t say something more concrete yet, but in general the situation looks like this: on Thursday, at ten in the evening, he had to go to another ordinary place from one ordinary place. Since then, neither I nor other people who have known him well and with whom he regularly communicated, including close relatives, he has not seen him and cannot get in contact with him,” said Ponomareva.
According to her, now they are trying to find Ivan Rybkin themselves, but for him to be officially put on the wanted list, it is necessary that relatives write the corresponding statement after three days after the connection with him was interrupted.
“I can’t make any comments more,” Ponomareva summed up. Interfax managed to contact the wife of Rybkin, who also stated that she did not know where her husband was. “There really is really no connection with him for two days, and tomorrow I’m going to go to the police,” she said, adding that “it is very difficult for her to speak on this topic.”
