“The special operation to cancel the mayoral elections of Yaroslavl and Rybinsk has begun. On Friday, Putin’s deputies introduced a corresponding law into the Duma. Yaroslavl TV channels, as well as mass newspapers, are closed for discussion. For now, you can talk on the Internet, on Ekho and Yarnosti.
According to regime supporters, the cancellation of the elections should be done quietly and quickly.
The authorities are cowardly and afraid of the reaction of citizens, 70% of whom support the elections. That’s why they are in a hurry and on December 12 the regional Duma should hold a vote on canceling the elections.”
