The YABLOKO party made it into the Duma (legislative assembly)
of Kasimov, Ryazan region. According to official data, the
party overcame the threashold into the Duma. However, our
real vote, despite of the stuffing of ballots in favour of
the ruling party, is much more.
These elections were a failure for Russian falsificators.
And this is largely due to the work of independent volunteers
the observers who worked in Kasimov. YABLOKO expresses its
gratitude to all of them and admiration of their life stance.
These elections were unrivaled as of the number of detected
and revealed cases of fraud. Packs of bulletins prepared for
ballot box stuffing, were detected and registered at different
polling stations. Two criminals were caught ballot stuffing
and taken to police. The nightmare of rigging culminated at
the Polling Station No 17, when electoral commission members
headed by Vladimir Grachyov, Deputy Chair of the Ryazan Regional
Electoral Commission, were faking ballot papers in front of
observers and candidates.
Never before had the evidence of crime been so conclusive.
YABLOKO will seek to get all those engaged in rigging the
elections to justice.
Sergei Mitrokhin,
Chair of the YABLOKO party
