"Voters' Strike" in Rostov-on-Don was 200 people strong

Participants in the "Voters' Strike" in Rostov-on-Don have warned the authorities that they would not accept the dishonest elections.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that today a number of Russian cities held actions in support of "Voters' Strike", whose participants call for a boycott of the upcoming Russian presidential election.

The rally in Rostov-on-Don was addressed not only by city residents, but also activists from other cities. The speakers said that the authorities had not left them a choice, but they will fight it.

"This power has left us no other choice. Until today, the ruling elite have not met such a powerful rebuff; but we are here, and we will give this rebuff!" one of the women from Rostov-on-Don said.

According to the police, the "Voters' Strike" in Rostov-on-Don was attended by more than 200 people, the website of the "Dozhd" (Rain) TV channel has reported.

"All went nicely; thanks to everyone who came. The goal of the rally has been achieved: we said everything we think about the election," says the message posted in the group "Rostov chooses a strike" in the social network "VKontakte".

  • Compensation decrease for illegal prosecution violates rights of KBR resident

    The court ruling, which awarded Madin Gubzhokov compensation of 30,000 roubles for unlawful criminal prosecution, is incomparable with the moral harm caused by the actions of Azamat Kyaov, a former law enforcer.
