Political advertising of Navalny, formed by him as a presidential campaign, causes great irritation of the authorities in the regions. From the point of view of Russian legislation, it is impossible to complain about the “election headquarters”, activists do not violate anything. Therefore, the authorities have to demonstrate ingenuity in inventing reasons, on the basis of which they can complain about Navalny and the company. “New” recalled the list of the latest “violations” identified by law enforcement officers - from plagiarism to “financing terrorism”.

Copyright violation and creation of malicious computer programs

On the morning of July 12, the police came to the Krasnoyarsk headquarters of Alexei Navalny. As follows from the document on the search, the police received information that the head of the campaign headquarters of Navalny Leonid Volkov violates copyright and creates harmful computer programs. At the same time, the document does not specify what exactly Volkov committed.

“And where does the headquarters in Krasnoyarsk, let me? It looks just like another reason to hit our material base, to steal the most, ”Volkov said.

As a result: electronic equipment, documents and agitmaterials were seized from the headquarters.

A ban on the installation of a cube due to "insulting the feelings of believers"

On July 7, the administration of the Petrograd district of St. Petersburg refused the headquarters of Navalny to install campaign cubes.
“The declared place of picket is located in the immediate vicinity of the Orthodox Church, Prince-Vladimir Cathedral, which is massively visited by Orthodox believers, including children, a public event can lead to insulting the feelings of believers,” Andrei Tsibinogin wrote to the headquarters of the administration of the administration.

He also explained the ban on the picket by proximity to transport highways. According to Tsibinogin, this could lead to the distraction of the attention of drivers and pedestrians, as a result of which the risk of an accident would increase.

Storage of prohibited literature

On July 6, the police came to the headquarters in Vologda due to a report of the storage of prohibited literature.

According to the employees of the Center, the Politics headquarters “could store literature prohibited for free circulation, printed materials containing slander and insults against representatives of authorities, as well as calling for gross violations of public order,” the report said.

As a result: agitmaterials were removed from the headquarters.

Mining the premises

On July 5, in Novosibirsk, police announced that the building in which the headquarters of the opposition politician Alexei Navalny is located is located. The headquarters coordinator Sergei Boyko said that the police thus decided to sear the headquarters and remove agitamaterials from there: “It is interesting that the builders of the building are allowed into passports. That is, if you have a residence permit, the bomb does not threaten you. ”

Arrest for obscene abuse

On June 28, in Tambov, the volunteer of the headquarters of Navalny Andrei Polyakov was arrested for an obscene abuse for a day. As Polyakov said, he was detained after a single picket near the building of the administration of the Tambov region. After the release from the ATS, the activist was again detained near the department - a man turned to him with a question about a T -shirt with Navalny. Then the police officers came up with the “witnesses” and, saying that Polyakov cursed, delivered him to the department.

At the same time, as the activist himself claims, he "and did not have time to say words."
According to Polyakov, a person who complained of him to the police is a teacher of political science of the Tambov State University of Nazarov. He wrote a statement about petty hooliganism. “Witnesses” were Nazarov's students.

Suspicion of "financing terrorism"

After on June 24, a meeting of the headquarters of the politician Alexei Navalny was held in the sanatorium of Tomsk “Dawn”, the head physician of the institution of Natelu Polezhaev was suspected of “financing terrorism”.

One of the departments of the Omsk Sberbank blocked the personal accounts of Nelly Polezhaeva, as well as the score of her daughter Irina, to whom she received a disability pension. The bank motivated the suspension of operations on them by the fact that the head of the medical institution is suspected of "laundering money received by criminal means" and "financing of terrorism."

The bank did not report where this information came from. Polezhaeva suggested that so the authorities reacted to the meeting of the volunteers of the headquarters of Navalny.
