The former presidential candidate from the Communist Party Pavel Grudinin nevertheless shaved his mustache, fulfilling the conditions of the bet with Yuri Dudem. The video of the shaving Grudinin was published by Maxim Shevchenko, his confidant in the election.
A photograph with Grudinin without a mustache appeared on several instagram accounts on the morning of March 24, but then was removed . The Communist Party said that Grudinin did not shave the “so far”.
Immediately after the election, Grudinin refused to shave his mustache and set an additional condition: he will change the image only if Yuri Dud admits that the elections were honest. The initial dispute was like this: if Grudinin gains less than 15% of the president’s election, he shaves his mustache, if more, the Dud shaves bald.
