Throwing, “carousel”, voting of dead souls according to an additional list of voters - on March 4, The New Times correspondents in the areas and as part of mobile groups of observers recorded how Vladimir Putin’s triumphal victory in the first round of the presidential election was injected
On the site, Vasya Oblomov’s songs quietly played: “My place of work is called the cafe“ At the beaver ”. Every day at 20 pm I appear for a synthesizer. ” The song is called "Food to Magadan." The site was organized in the corridor of the pre-trial detention center on the 2nd floor: green walls, under the ceiling a large poster: "The first condition for correction is the consciousness of its guilt." Future prisoners are aware of the guilt in full: almost 1,500 inhabitants of the Butyrka pre -trial detention center voted for Vladimir Putin. Candidate No. 1 received as a result in this area at 90% of the vote - 1150, Mikhail Prokhorov had only 73 voters in Butyrka. “Instead of checking, opposite the prime minister, the prime minister was signed, painted a crown, one even wrote“ for the Black Tsar, ”journalist Olga Romanova, who followed the vote, told The New Times. “This is not a record, in our villages Putin scored 95–97%,” said the Ufa journalist Arthur Asafiev. - But according to the number of stuffing and “carousels”, Moscow, it seems, even overwhelmed us this time. Bashkir election standards are now throughout Russia. ”
In Moscow, at the time of delivery of the number, the counting of votes was in full swing, but their record holders were already obvious: 84% gave Putin the Dmitrovsky district, 91% - Lianozovo. In the country, the leaders were the same as in December: 93.5%-Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, 91%-Tuva and Karachay-Cherkessia, 89%-Dagestan, 88%-Tatarstan and Mordovia.

TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak discovered violations in plot No. 117 in the Tagansky district of Moscow. Christina Babaeva (left) and another 120 people were included in an additional voting list
Dead souls on section No. 117 in the Tagansky district of Moscow Observer (from candidate Prokhorov) and the famous TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak discovered 120 employees of the Metalist Center LLC, “engaged in a continuous cycle of work” in additional lists of voters. There were no personal statements from them about the inclusion in the PEC, and the call of these people showed that they do not work in any LLC and they do not know that they should vote in section No. 117. 18-year-old Kristina Babaeva, who was listed on a mysterious list, came to the site by calling and said: “I am studying at the Economic College, a friend called me yesterday and offered 5 thousand rubles for the fact that I went to several plots and vote, but in the end I did not go on my site.” Under the sight of the cameras, Christina received the second ballot, which was recorded by observers. True, the chairman of the territorial election commission (TIK), Rimma Bakhtiarov, who arrived at the site, said that there are no guilt of the commission’s members here: the voters themselves, who agreed to go for falsification.
The fraud with additional lists is very simple: employees of “enterprises with a continuous work cycle” (in the documents that are at the disposal of the editorial office, they are marked with the abbreviation of the PNC) can vote in another section without a missile coupon if they wrote a statement about this less than three days before the election. In Moscow, they did without statements: certain enterprises submitted their lists of their employees to the WICs, on which the “carousels” came and voted calmly. In plot No. 114, Sobchak discovered a similar list of 100 surnames from an enterprise that does not exist at all. According to the State Duma deputy from Just Russia, Gennady Gudkov, in the sleeping regions of Moscow to the sites thus brought migrant workers in whole buses. In Strogin, the territorial commission included as many as 6 thousand people in additional lists. Some managed to stop the observers, the majority unhinderedly put the ticks and left, we managed a few to catch the falsifiers by the hand as Sobchak did. Oleg Mitvol, the former prefect of the Northern District, passed the New Times the schedule of the entrance of cars from the PNC to the PEC No. 3183 (School No. 1399) on the street. Vilisa Latsis in the north-west of Moscow. It says black and white there: “The number of voting on the PNC:“ Transstroy ” - 481 people, 10 buses, MTK - 259 on their own transport,“ hormost ” - 39 people. Total 840 people. " Five tables were waiting for the hard workers, the groups of 50 people were supposed to fit every 40 minutes, “the average registration time at the table is four minutes”. And then - names, patronymics, surnames, mobile phones of responsible: “From the Council”, “From the Prefecture”, “From enterprises in the status of members of the PEC with an advisory voice”. Further - “Place of Parking of buses”, “volunteers”, “combatants”, scheme (see Photocopy). In all of the above areas, the results are not canceled, the elections are recognized as taken. Exactly the same technology was used in Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, Saratov-this is according to the information that The New Times received at the time of signing the number.

Now the only difference is that in the evening they will still be on the Lubyanka, to the rally in support of the winner.

Everyone did not vote for Putin and all the soul is not for Putin. We have a plant built in our region, they say to the owner: Volodya Putin is 51%, otherwise there will be no plant. This is fine?" Then his colleague from the bus came up to the dignity and began to persuade his return to his. Sanya beat off. When asked if he was not afraid that he will give him up for these revelations to his superiors, he answered, thinking a little: “I'm not afraid. We did not have justice, no and will not be. ” In total, about 400 people voted in the absenteeism at the Leningrad station, according to the member of the commission with a decisive voice, half of them - brought by buses “Carousel” by buses. “The young guy from Barnaul, receiving a ballot, for a long time asked where he should put a mark that he had voted, otherwise his boss would drive out of work,” he told The New Times.
