December 4 marks a mournful date. A year ago our country suffered a terrible loss: elections to the State Duma which took place on this day hammered the last nail in the coffin of fair elections, Mitrokhin wrote in his blog.

On this sad anniversary of the death of this most important democratic procedure Mitrokhin invited everyone to honour the memory of the deceased and bring white carnations to the main entrance of the Central Electoral Commission office.
