We know very well now the events called “elections” are held in Russia: how they arbitrarily do not register in the elections the strongest and dissenting candidates, and how they falsify the results of the vote. Nevertheless, 48 candidates from the Yabloko party overcoming huge obstacles and despite actions of the authorities became deputies in 12 Russia’s regions during the so-called “single voting day” (lasting three days). Yabloko candidates managed to get support of their voters so that neither filters, nor fraud worked.

Kavkazsky Uzel, 14.09.2020
The events in Ingushetia over the past two years have exposed and demonstrated the failure of the concept of the vertical of power and the entire system of government in the Republic. The procedure for “election” of the head of the Republic of Ingushetia has actually been turned into a system for appointing a representative loyal to the Kremlin. Candidates who are strong and respected by the people, who have the support of potential voters, are not allowed to the election of the head of the Republic by means of various kinds of manipulations and procedures. A person, who is deliberately focused on satisfying the will of the country’s leadership, rather than solving problems in the region, is brought to power. The authorities do not hear and do not respect people’s opinions. Political deafness, unwillingness to take into account the requests and just indignation of citizens increase the gap between society and the government, lead to the alienation of people from the state.
