By the decision of the Supreme Court (Sun), the current governor of the Bryansk region Nikolai Denin is again a candidate for the post of head of the region in the upcoming elections on October 14. Thus, two are involved in the governor's race - Nikolai Denin and communist Vadim Potsky.

The meeting in the case of Nikolai Denin lasted about an hour and a half. Almost all this time, the dispute went around whether 226 signature sheets can be considered valid in support of the governor (out of 253), which the Bryansk regional court has already managed to “reject” for various shortcomings in the design. The head of the election commission of the Bryansk region Igor Kaplunov personally came to the meeting, who actually acted as a united front with the representative of Mr. Denin Pavel Kruchenkov and the lawyer of the Central Election Commission Dmitry Voronin.

Together, they convinced the Cassation Collegium of the Armed Forces primarily that the court rejected signature sheets on formal grounds. In 37 signature sheets, the scene of the certificates of signatures or the name of the municipal representative bodies were not indicated, and in 185 the names were indicated not like in the charter. And Pavel Kruchenkov stated that by law the election commander, and not the court, "is the only body that can evaluate the signature sheets," and if the election commander has made signatures, then this decision is already "legal". With this statement, he aroused the discontent of Judge Valentin Pirozhkov, who was indignant: "The court must close his eyes to this because the election committee made a decision?!" As a result, the CEC representative Dmitry Voronin agreed to recognize only four support sheets, where there were gross violations, for example, the signature date was not indicated or a relative of the municipal deputy was certified.

Vadim Parakogo on the air of Kommersant : “I initially said that I would make any decision of the Supreme Court. Now the chances of candidates were equalized. As this was reflected in the course of the election campaign, it will be clear on Monday morning, October 15 ... The main thing is that Nikolai Denin now does not withdraw his candidacy from the elections, I have such an assumption. The main thing is that the elections take place.”

As a result, the Armed Forces satisfied the appeal of the Oblazbirkom and Nikolai Denin, as well as the appeal representation of the prosecutor's office. The decision of the election commission of the Bryansk region on the removal of Mr. Denin was canceled, the current governor returned to the election race.

It is likely that Denin and Parakogo will join the gentlemen of Denmark, Vyacheslav Rudnikov, whom the election man did not allow the election due to a lack of reliable signatures. If the Presidium of the Supreme Court satisfies his complaint, then three candidates will apply for the post of governor.

The first deputy head of the executive committee of the United Russia party Konstantin Mazurevsky on Kommersant FM : "All municipal level deputies confirmed that they signed Denin's support."

The verdict of the Supreme Court predicted this morning the head of the Duma Committee on Security and Countering Corruption Irina Yarovaya , who declared through the press service of the committee as follows: "The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation defended the residents of the Bryansk region from" garbage "Technologies of the Communist Party and returned the right to choose Nikolai Denin." Note that this statement was voiced two and a half hours before the start of the Armed Forces. Later, however, the press service explained that a mistake occurred, and Mrs. Yarovaya only hoped that Mr. Denin’s registration would be restored.

Meanwhile, the Council of Judges of the Bryansk Region made a statement of pressure on the court and interference in his activities by the authorities due to the fact that he withdrew from the election of the head of the region of the current Governor of United Russia Nikolai Denin. The judges recalled “high -ranking government officials” that they, from the stands at rallies next to the Bryansk Regional Court building, “allowed incorrect statements that discredit the judicial system,” and the media “appeared in the media that defeated the honor and dignity of the judge who made the decision.”

The governor’s elections in the Bryansk region were on the verge of a breakdown over the past week. Initially, five candidates claimed to be the post of head of the region: the Directorate Vyacheslav Rudnikov (the Izbirkom did not allow him to the elections due to the lack of reliable signatures), the candidate from the LDPR Mikhail Marchenko, the leader of the Yabloko branch Andrei Ponomarev, the Communist Vadim Parakogo and the current governor Nikolai Denin. However, eight days before the elections by the decision of the regional court, Mr. Denin was removed from the race .

Four days later, applications for the withdrawal from the elections of the Bryansk governor were submitted by Mikhail Marchenko and Andrei Ponomarev . “My refusal is a balanced decision. To give power to a person with an ambiguous reputation (I had in mind Mr. Potomsky.“ Kommersant ”),” Mr. Marchenko explained “Kommersant”.

Gleb Cherkasov, deputy editor -in -chief of the Kommersant newspaper: “ What is happening in Bryansk: there is not a very strong governor, there are two of its opponents , they remove more non -systemic - Rudnikov from“ Fair Russia ”, which, of course, is nominated by the Communist Party, but it seems that the Bryansk communist movement has not a lot of relations, but rather such a relationship. The ally and fellow traveler of the Zyuganov party can be two options for the development of events: either they will return the registration and give the opportunity to win - this will prove that the governor overcame the battle, or he will have to lose to the little one - this will be proof that we have real governor elections, real election circumstances.
