Reuters: Russia’s top election official said on Wednesday she had recommended the results of a regional election in the country’s far east be annulled due to vote rigging and a new election held, Russian news agencies reported.
Hundreds of Russian Communist Party supporters took to the central square of Vladivostok on Monday to protest against what they said was the brazen rigging of the regional election in Primorsky Region in favor of a politician backed by President Vladimir Putin.
