The minor activist was registered even before the commission was held

In the Vladimir region, an inspector for minors (PDN) put a teenager who put up leaflets "Voters' strikes" on the register until a commission decides this issue. This is reported by the news agency "Argument".

After January 28, the police have already several times come to the school where the teenager is studying, and demanded that teachers draw up “recommendations” for the student. On February 1, together with his mother, he appeared at the PDN inspection, where inspector Lilia Ivleva tried to take an explanation from a minor, telling him that he could not use Article 51 of the Constitution and not give an explanation. The inspector stated that she is drawing up a resolution on registration "retroactively" for January 26, ostensibly in order to "deregister earlier". According to Argument journalists, Ivleva did this so that the decision could not be appealed due to the expiration of the appeal period, and also so that these actions did not look like the consequences of the January 28 action.

In a conversation with an agency correspondent, inspector Ivleva said that the commission would consider the issue in a week. And the decision was made in accordance with the order of the authorities and after a request to the Central Election Commission, which confirmed that the leaflets "Voters' strike" were illegal campaigning.

In addition, the police came to the parents of another underage volunteer of Navalny's headquarters, who was summoned to the PDN commission in the fall because he was present at one of the anti-corruption rallies. Then the police limited themselves to warning the teenager. But now the inspectors said that in the autumn the minor was still registered. The journalists of the Argument agency turned to the Ombudsman for Children in Vladimir, and he, in turn, turned to the city's Ministry of Internal Affairs. There he was told that the teenager had indeed been registered, but they refused to give reasons for this. Then the human rights activist turned directly to the PDN commission, which confirmed the old data: the minor was not registered, there was only a warning.

On January 31, Radio Liberty reported that underage supporters of Navalny in Novocheboksarsk and Stary Oskol also faced pressure. Because of the detention at a rally on January 28, a minor from Novocheboksarsk was forced to write an explanatory letter to the director, and the class teacher, in a conversation with a schoolchild, said that boycotting the elections was “extremism”. In Stary Oskol, after January 28, a volunteer from Navalny’s local headquarters was summoned to the director, and her mother received a call from an investigator who wanted to interview a minor.
