This image is meant to get Ella Pamfilova’s attention. I know she gets very indignant when “Navalny puts up my photo in a fascist uniform.”
Although the uniform is, of course, not fascist at all — it is unmistakably a Central Election Commission uniform. It was taken from here:
I insist that Ella Pamfilova watch this video from our headquarters in St. Petersburg.
Our headquarters tore that mustachioed crook to pieces.
We laid him out like a beetle for an insect collection and pinned him to the board with a needle.
He is a crook and a thief, and the “voter signatures” collected for him were forged.
Beglov and St. Petersburg officials have organized what is essentially a criminal group made up of officials and state employees, forging signatures right inside a government office.
And I have a question for the Central Election Commission and for Pamfilova personally: how much longer will this lawlessness continue in St. Petersburg?
We gave up expecting fair elections a long time ago. But what is happening now goes beyond all limits. The signatures for the acting governor are being fabricated openly.
Candidates for deputy seats in the municipal elections are besieging election commission offices by the dozens and hundreds just to submit their paperwork. The offices are either closed.
Or artificial lines have been created using some idiots in black sunglasses.
This is the St. Petersburg method for keeping strong candidates — those who could beat United Russia — off the ballot: they are simply not allowed to file their documents.
Four years ago, this caused a scandal. When Pamfilova took over the Central Election Commission, she said it would never happen again.
And it has all happened again — only even more brazenly and on a worse scale. Especially with Beglov fabricating signatures.
We demand some kind of response. We demand that all the facts uncovered in this investigation be addressed.
Journalists, we need your help. Keep pressing every member of the Central Election Commission until they officially consider our questions.
And to all St. Petersburg residents: vote for anyone except Beglov. Only “Smart Voting. St. Petersburg.”
In the face of such brazen behavior, it is absolutely impossible to give a single vote to United Russia.
They are terribly afraid of us. Beglov is so unsure of victory that he even bribed some poor LDPR candidate (from the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia) to withdraw:
Help us make sure that every resident of the city sees this video — and the ugly face of those in power.
