This analytical report examines the surge of protests during Putin's election, particularly focusing on the involvement of predominantly elderly women and the governmental response to these incidents.
On the second day of the election, voters are protesting against what they perceive as 'Putin's election'. Emergencies have already occurred in 15 regions, with mostly elderly women participating.
Protests of a new type have spread to 15 regions, as shown on the map. In some regions, there have been two or three incidents each.
The protests continued into the morning. In Yekaterinburg, a woman was detained (https://t.me/ve4ved/72176) for carrying greenery, and a resident of the Altai Republic was also detained for the same offense.
The Investigative Committee has opened at least 15 cases of obstructing the work of election commissions, with three of them in Voronezh Region, which is the leader in this indicator. Arrests have already been made, including a girl in St. Petersburg who was taken into custody for throwing a Molotov cocktail on the porch of a school with two PECs.
The detainees are primarily women of retirement and pre-retirement age, rather than political activists. In Volgograd, a 76-year-old individual was detained for arson (https://gorvesti.ru/accidents/v-volgograde-zaderzh...), while in Chelyabinsk, an 80-year-old pensioner set off a firecracker at the polling station and attempted to set off fireworks (https://ura.news/news/1052744016). She admitted that she was asked by strangers on the phone to "assist in identifying foreign intelligence agents."
Increased vigilance at polling stations has led to bag searches for voters. A proposed State Duma measure would toughen the punishment for arson to 8 years in prison.
The election commissions will not invalidate the results due to the coloring of ballots. According to a report (https://t.me/svobodnieslova/4366), heavily flooded ballots will be considered spoiled, while those with a recognizable 'tick' will be counted.
Political scientist Abbas Galliamov told 'MO' that he would not rule out the possibility that the protests are a natural response to the situation.
