At exactly six o'clock, on a day when any demonstrations are prohibited, citizens whistled and began to shout. Those who simply whistled were initially ignored by the police, but those who shouted slogans “Your elections are a farce!”, “Down with Putin!”, “Russia will be free!” They immediately dragged me into a paddy wagon. There were three incomplete buses, although there were more riot police officers than detainees.

An interesting situation has developed around the books “Alexey Navalny - the Terror of Crooks and Thieves” by Konstantin Voronkov and “Operation United Russia”. The unknown history of the party in power" by Ilya Zhegulev and Lyudmila Romanova. Despite the fact that they went on sale, it became possible to buy them only after the end of the elections. At the Bookvoed store, the consultant in vain helped me look for both of these books.

Novaya found out how happy people are to vote right at work, when management orders them to wait all Sunday for the ballot box The correspondent approached a group of janitors crowding in front of the building of Housing and Communal Services No. 2 on Sevastopolskaya Street.

48 signals about illegal actions and violations of election legislation were received from 8 to 20 o'clock on December 4 to St. Petersburg law enforcement agencies. Candidates for deputies from all parties except United Russia and observers object: the figures are seriously underestimated. As Novaya was told by the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, by Sunday evening, 36 violations of the law had been recorded in St.

At least 1,200 students from all over Russia arrived in the capital on the morning of December 4. Among them is a correspondent for Novaya in St. Petersburg. “Nashists” gathered in Moscow to convince: “Everything is fine in Russia” I came across a message on VKontakte: “We are going to Moscow from December 4 to 6 to show the whole world that not only sad shit lives in our country!!!

Using a tip that appeared in the media in early November, Novaya correspondents tried to find out whether buses would really be sent from Kirovsk (Lenoblast) to carry out the “carousel” in the elections. According to information announced by the media, several dozen people were supposed to go on an excursion to St. Petersburg to visit at least 7 voting stations.
