Siberia's most dirty election campaign
In Khakassia, one of the most dirty governor's campaigns in the history of Siberia ends. The winner of the first round, communist Valentin Konovalov, who won in the wake of a protest vote, frightened the local authorities. The information war was launched against him, comparable on a republic’s scale with the struggle of federal channels against Gennady Zyuganov in 1996. The United Russia supported the disruption of the elections, officials and, possibly, the election room help them in this.
