The Pskov branch of Yabloko succeeded in 12 municipalities in the 11 September elections: in the city of Pskov and 11 municipal districts.

In the elections to the Pskov City Duma, Yabloko, according to official data, received 9.04% of the vote and came third. Yabloko as a party of peace was supported by 3,003 people, remote electronic voting inclusive.

According to the single electoral list of the party, Tatyana Pasman, a teacher and educator, who has represented Yabloko in the city parliament for the last eight months, gets the deputy mandate in the Pskov City Duma.

The result of Yabloko in the remote electronic voting, which was used for the first time in Pskov, deserves special attention.

Throughout the campaign, the Pskov Yabloko urged Pskov residents to vote only on 11 September and only at polling stations, and also not to refuse to participate in the remote electronic voting, if one can not personally come to the polling station on a voting day. As a result, the Pskov Yabloko team received 743 votes with the help of the remote electronic voting, which was about a quarter of all those who voted for Yabloko in Pskov.

Lev Shlosberg, Chairman of the Pskov Yabloko, commented on the result of the party in Pskov as follows:

“Yabloko voters in Pskov have shown that they are political voters. Voting for Yabloko in Pskov is an ideological vote, it is a vote for a party that takes a principled political stance and does not hide this stance. The results of this vote are determined by the all-Russian political stance of Yabloko.

It should be noted that Tatyana Pasman was able to not only join the public team of the Pskov Yabloko in the shortest possible time, but also become the natural leader of the team in Pskov. Voters perceived her as a relatable and attractive political figure and see her as their representative.

Tatyana Pasman did a great job during the campaign and will continue her work as a deputy of the Pskov City Duma from Yabloko.”
