On Monday, September 21, Nikolai Zyuzin, candidate from the Kaliningrad branch of Yabloko in constituency No. 18, filed a lawsuit with the Chernyakhovsky City Court to declare protocol of the electoral commission on the results of voting at one of three precincts – in the village of Kamenskoye, the city of Chernyakhovs – null and void. A discrepancy was recorded in this precinct on a single voting day, September 13: the number of ballots issued to voters exceeded the number of ballots issued by the territorial electoral commission. This gives a legal basis to challenge the results of voting in this precinct in particular and in the district as a whole.

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.
