On August 29, Andrei Rudomakha, renowned environmentalist
and leader of the YABLOKO - United Democrats list submitted
all the required documents for registration in the elections
to the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnodar Region. The receipt
of the documents was confirmed by the Commission. However,
yesterday the web-site of the Electoral Commission published
a list of candidates who had submitted their documents to
the commission and Andrei Rudomakha was not in that list.
Yet YABLOKO has got no answer from the Commission explaining
this. The Krasnodar branch of YABLOKO will be investigating
this sudden "loss" of documents.
Andrei Rudomakha, leader of the Krasnodar branch of YABLOKO
and top candidate in the list of YABLOKO - United Democrats
has been also nominated to run for the Sochi single-mandate
electoral district No 48, where he should compete with Viktor
Teplyakov, Sochi Deputy Secretary of the Political Council
of the ruling United Russia party.
Elections to the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnodar Territory
will be held on October 14 and candidates nominated by an
electoral bloc YABLOKO - United Democrats constitute the
largest problem for the authorities. YABLOKO United Democratss
list contains many civil activists well-known in the region
for their fight against arbitrary rule and corruption in the
federal and regional authorities, as well as new public activists.
community leaders. YABLOKOs Andrei Rudomakha, Suren Ghazaryan
and Eugeny Vitishko are topping the list.
"Possible election of these persons, as well as other
well-known candidates from the YABLOKO - United Democrats
list to the Krasnodar Territory Legislative Assembly is the
major concern for the regional administration. There is no
doubt that the administration will do everything to prevent
them from participating in the elections. We have already
observed this is a new forged criminal case against Suren
Ghazaryan, who allegedly "threatened to murder"
a guard of Putins cottage in the village Praskoveyevka. This
is also manifested in the pressure exerted on Eugeny Vitishko,
who has been under surveillance, noted Rudomakha.
