Communist Party of Primorye: "We do not recognize the results of the elections, falsification of mass, piles of ballots simply change places"
In Primorye in the governor's election, when counting 95% of the vote with a margin of 6%, the communist Andrei Ishchenko won. However, after the counting of 99%, the winner was declared United Russia Andrei Tarasenko, for whom Putin personally campaigned. In response, Ishchenko declared an “unlimited strike of deceived voters” and urged everyone to come to the square to fighters for the power of the Soviets in Vladivostok. He himself began an indefinite hunger strike.
