The Sverdlovsk regional branch of the Yabloko party demands that the law enforcement of the Sverdlovsk region conduct a thorough investigation of the incident related to the attack on Nadezhda Zhuravleva, candidate for to the Nizhny Tagil City Duma from the Yabloko party.
The attack on Nadezhda Zhuravleva and her husband took place in the 10th district of Nizhny Tagil (where the by-elections to the City Duma will take place on 13 September) late in the evening on 9 September. As a result of the incident, the spouses received multiple injuries and were forced to seek medical aid.
The Sverdlovsk branch of Yabloko managed to establish the identity of one of the attackers. This was Oleg Gubin, coordinator of the Sverdlovsk regional branch of the All-Russian public organisation for supporting presidential initiatives “Common Cause” in the city of Nizhny Tagil. Also, according to open sources, Oleg Gubin is a member of the current administrative commission at the Mayor’s Office of Nizhny Tagil and a voting member of the precinct electoral commission of Nizhny Tagil No. 2155 from the pro-government United Russia party.
It is obvious that the attack on Nadezhda Zhuravleva is related to her social and political activities. We believe that the state should protect the interests of society from such criminal actions aimed at interfering with the activities of local self-government bodies and political parties on the territory of the Sverdlovsk region.
Nadezhda Zhuravleva, with her activities every day demonstrates to society her principled position on the most pressing issues of the city agenda.
We are asking Yevgeny Kuyvashev, Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region, to take the situation under his personal control and to bring those involved in the attack to justice.
Sergei Khorenzhenko,
Chairman of the Sverdlovsk regional branch of the Yabloko Party
