Konstantin Kotov: Election Commission and Russian Capital

konstantin kotov: That move, by the central election commission, sparked a movement which saw thousands turn out in the Russian capital in weeks of demonstrations last month, according to The Independent. On Sunday, after the largest protests that the capital has seen since 2011-12, Muscovites will finally go to the polls. And they didn't, much, until the opposition was barred from taking part. But the fallout from the contested vote is likely to be just as bitter as the run-up. His crime was merely having attended five unsanctioned rallies, a violation that used to merit an administrative charge at most. Friends of Konstantin Kotov, a political activist, chanted and wept in a courthouse last Thursday as he was jailed for four years. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
