• Since the detention of the ex-governor of the Khabarovsk Territory, Sergei Furgal, in July 2020, have been held actions in support of him in Russian cities. Protesters believe that the persecution is due to the fact that Furgal won the gubernatorial election against the United Russia candidate, and also to the fact that the region showed one of the lowest voting results for amendments to the Constitution. In February 2023, Furgal was sentenced to 22 years in a strict regime colony.
