Russian pre -election carrier

Putin signed a decree on a one -time distribution of ten thousand rubles to all pensioners and immediately decided that before the elections it was necessary to give 15 thousand and all law enforcement officers - all the more so since their work is unprofitable: it is necessary to strangle the “smart vote”, pacify the activists and supporters of Navalny and finish off an independent press:

• The court in Armavir found the local activist Sergei Solomakhin guilty of acquiring the symbols of extremist organizations (specifically - “smart voting”), fined it by 2.5 thousand rubles, and decided to destroy leaflets.
• In Murmansk, in the case of the creation of an "organization encroaching on the identity and rights of citizens," interrogated the comrade -in -arms of Navalny Violett Grudin. According to her, the interrogation lasted 15 minutes and was a pure formality. Earlier, Navalny said that in the framework of this case he was accused of a crime committed by means of a time machine.
• In Moscow, there was not a single printing house ready to print the election campaign of Andrei Pivovarov, who was sitting in the Krasnodar pre -trial detention center on charges “in the assistance of an unwanted organization” (“open Russia” is meant).
• In Kaliningrad, according to the “Dadinskaya” article on repeated violations at rallies, two local activists are accused of at once.
• In Astrakhan, a protocol on journalistic activities without accreditation has been drawn up in relation to the journalist of IDEL. Realiy (regional project of Radio Liberty) Fedor Alekseev.
• The Ministry of Justice of Russia explained the inclusion of the Rain television channel in the list of “Media - Foreign Agents” by the fact that “Rain” received 137 thousand euros from the European Commission for creating a series of partnerships within the framework of the “Russia is Europe” project. According to the editor -in -chief of the rain, Tikhon Dzyadko, the exactly the same agreement within the framework of this project was concluded by the “Russian newspaper”, “Izvestia”, “Kommersant” and other media, but their “foreign agents” were not declared. In St. Petersburg, the police detained at least three participants in single pickets in support of the “rain”.

Here, political scientist Abbas Galyamov explains how effective all these repressions can be to solve the electoral problems of “United Russia” (no one knows) and whether they will stop after the elections (rather not than yes). The difficulties that the State Duma candidates are faced during the campaign from Yabloko, is told here by the Moscow human rights activist Alena Popova, and here is the Irkutsk activist Pavel Kharitonenko.
