On Monday, September 20, the Communist Party gathered a protesting rally on the Pushkinskaya Square of Moscow-the party did not recognize the results of the State Duma elections in the capital due to issues for electronic voting. About 200 people came to him. On Saturday, September 25, the Communists are going to hold another action called “Fair Elections”.
The city hall refused to coordinate this action, referring to covid restrictions, and the police and the Prosecutor General warned about the inadmissibility of participation in it. Roskomnadzor threatened to block the Communist Party website, on which there is a banner about the upcoming rally; For calls to participate in the action, the police detained the leader of the “Left Front” Sergei Udaltsov. According to the Sota publication, on Friday, September 24, the police were on duty at the Moscow City Committee of the Communist Party and Moscow City Duma, where there are several deputies of communal services.
In addition, the police came home to the participants in the action on September 20: in particular, they visited candidates for State Duma deputies in Moscow districts Mikhail Lobanov, Sergey Kurgansky and Sergey Obukhov. On September 23, the Moscow municipal deputy from the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation was detained and delivered to the department, where they awarded the protocol on participation in an inconsistent campaign.
According to the source of Medusa, close to the presidential administration (AP), the Communists make it clear that calls to go out onto the streets are “crossing the features”, and you should not do this: “You can make statements, talk about non -recognition [elections], and judicial appeal. But do not argue [with the authorities] on the streets. "
The interlocutor of Medusa draws attention to the fact that the leaders of the Communist Party are talking about promotions, but rather carefully. “[Leader] of the Communist Party of the Communist Party Gennady Zyuganov is negotiating with [the head of the presidential administration] Anton Vaino on how the Communist Party can cut it out of this situation,” the source explains.
According to him, the AP believes that the Communists received a “decent result” on party lists and held several people in “inconsistent” single -member districts. For example, Leonid Kalashnikov and Oleg Smolin, who won single -mandate from the Communist Party, were opposed by very weak candidates from United Russia.
“Oleg Mikhailov, Zyuganov, was included in the district, was included in the City of the Communist Party of the Communist Party without any coordination [with the Kremlin of the former Irkutsk governor from the Communist Party] Sergey Levchenko and [the founder of the Buryat riot police, the former Irkutsk senator] Vyacheslav Markhaev. These are truly protest politicians, now they are in the Duma. What else? They carried out who they wanted, even more, ”says a source close to the AP.
In turn, the interlocutor of Medusa, close to the leadership of United Russia, claims that after the election, Gennady Zyuganov had already met with Anton Wino, his first deputy, who oversees the internal policy, Sergey Kiriyenko, as well as with Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. “Its main requirement was the abolition of electronic voting results in Moscow. However, he was made to understand that no one would do this, ”he says.
“As for the requirement to cancel the electronic vote, Zyuganov always stated this, starting with an announcement of electronic voting,” said Meduza spokesman for the Communist Party of the Communist Party Alexander Yushchenko. - As for meetings with those whom you listed, I can neither confirm nor refute. Because even if these meetings took place, they do not be public. ”
The Medusa source in the Communist Party says that Zyuganov himself “understands” that the Kremlin and the City Hall will not come from their position, so he wants to achieve status posts in the Duma for the Communist Party: “For example, two, and not one vice-speaker, as it was in the last convocation. More committees where the Communists occupy leading posts. ”
At a meeting with the Partakt of the Communist Party, which took place on September 23, Zyuganov spoke rather carefully and even tried to reassure the Communists.
“Our party has gathered a huge layer of talented people together. But show in this harsh time the maximum restraint. Show exposure and resistance ... There are two towers in the Kremlin. One tower is state-patriotic, she always led with us and continues to conduct a dialogue. And the second tower is a liberal-cosmopolitan. This, in fact, is the fifth column, ready at any time to break Russia into parts. Our task with you is to rally all the best forces around us so that our country is peacefully and dignifiedly from a severe systemic crisis, ”he said to the Unimpount Party.
In turn, the first deputy chairman of the Communist Party Yuri Afonin said that the scandals around the electronic voting "shook this system." “Now we sue the courts and will prove the viciousness of electronic voting together with the public,” he promised.
The leadership of the Communist Party of the Communist Party will not declare the non -recognition of the results of the elections in general, disputing only the results of electronic voting - and discusses how it will work in the State Duma, says the source of Medusa in the party. The Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Communist Party Dmitry Novikov has already told Kommersant about committees that the Communists would like to lead.
Medusa asked the official position of the Communist Party regarding the recognition or non-recognition of the elections to its press secretary. “This is a political statement that will be made by the party leadership. Of course, I cannot [answer this question]. Such statements are made by results. Today, the results were only summed up. This is a question for the chairman. I know for sure what has already been stated: the results of electronic voting are not recognized, ”answered Alexander Yushchenko.
Some regional branches of the Communist Party are going to take people to the streets so that the Communist Party of the Communist Party shows a more stringent position: “At least in words, so that there is no consonant,” says the interlocutor of Medusa in one of the regional branches of the Communist Party. “If we are silent, the feds will be silent all the more,” he adds.
“The federal action“ for honest elections, ”the press secretary of the Communist Party answered this. - As for regional [shares], some regions announced a meeting with voters. In each region-in its own way. "
