The Pervomaisky District Court of Rostov-on-Don imposed five days of administrative arrest for Bella Nasibyan, a Yabloko activist. The reason was the stories on Instagram, with accidental picturing of a sticker of a Alexei Navalny’s Smart Voting project. It should be noted that Yabloko does not support the Smart Voting strategy and considers it harmful, since the three parliamentary parties, whose candidates Smart Voting often offer to support, are no different from the ruling United Russia and they all vote together with United Russia in the State Duma for the most odious bills.
Nasibyan participates in the election campaign of Alexander Ryabchuk, a Yabloko candidate for the State Duma. She shot a story for her Instagram, where she showed the candidate’s campaign poster. A “Smart Voting” sticker hanging next to it accidentally got into the frame. Because of this story, Center E (Centre for Countering Extremism ) initiated an administrative case.

In one day we managed to visit two cities of the Arkhangelsk region – Severodvinsk and Arkhangelsk.
In Severodvinsk, we checked the indicators of water pollution in the White Sea on the city beach Yagry. The device showed a two-fold excess of the maximum permissible pollution. Alas, not only this water is not fit for drinking, but it is also it is undesirable to swim in it. This can lead to the ingestion of, for example, intestinal viruses into the human body, and lead to serious health consequences.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov equated criticism of Joseph Stalin with an attack on the outcome of the Second World War. What for? It attracts communist voters to the [ruling] United Russia party and at the same time makes it clear that a negative assessment of the dictator who was guilty of the death of millions of people may soon become a criminal offense in Russia, as it will be considered a “revision of the results of the Second World War”. Now they will not even have to specially fabricate cases against those who tell the truth about the history of our country, such people will fall under criminal articles anyway and receive real imprisonment sentences.

The Yabloko party declares with full responsibility: there are no lawful and legal grounds for removing Lev Shlosberg from the [Yabloko] party’s federal electoral list [of candidates], even within the framework of the absurd and repressive legislation which he is accused of violating. All accusations against him are untrue and deliberately orchesterated.
Lev Shlosberg is a well-known and respected Russian politician and courageous person. He is removed from the elections solely because he has been never afraid to say what he thinks.
