Despite the cancellation of registration of Yabloko’s lists of candidates, three-day and remote electronic voting, and admission of observers to polling stations only in three districts of the region, candidates from the Pskov Yabloko did not stop fighting and showed decent results.

Nikolai Barkhatov, Andrei Vikhman, Nadezhda Boytsova and Maxim Lastovka came second in their constituencies, losing only to government candidates. Lyubov Savelyeva, Irina Pavlova, Lyudmila Kochneva, Dmitry Ivanov, Yelena Shchemeleva and Maria Skorodumova came third.

It is important to note that all the candidates received more than 5% of the vote in their constituencies. This confirms that the party lists of our team would have successfully passed to the district assemblies if they had not been removed from the elections.
