The action takes place without opposition leaders - by the beginning of the event most of them were detained. Among them is Ivan Zhdanov, director of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, candidates Dmitry Gudkov, Yulia Galyamin, Ilya Yashin, Alexander Soloviev and Lyubov Sable, who were not allowed to participate in the elections.
During the day, the project published information:
The Moscow City Election Commission explained the refusal to register opposition candidates in the elections to the Moscow parliament by exceeding the permissible level of marriage in the signatures collected in their support and other violations. On behalf of the participants not allowed to the election, the Moscow City Court filed 29 lawsuits in which the plaintiffs challenged the decisions of the district election commissions and the Moscow City Election Committee.
