I asked for your help with spreading information while I was under arrest, and now I’m doing the same for Yashin, who has been arrested for the fourth time in a row.
He called yesterday and asked everyone to pay attention to the situation involving Kolmagorov, a Communist Party candidate, who was "persuaded" to withdraw his candidacy just a few hours after Yashin endorsed him.
This is bad news, though not unexpected (it is clear that City Hall and United Russia, the pro-Kremlin ruling party, will fight by any means for each of the 45 seats). However, it perfectly illustrates how effective "Smart Voting" can be in this election.
Ilya is unequivocally urging everyone to take part in it:
I also strongly recommend reading the excellent article "The Arithmetic of Anger" by sociologist Grigory Yudin, in which he breaks down "Smart Voting" step by step, explaining why it could work.
Smart Voting: sign up yourself and get your friends and acquaintances to do the same.
