Police in Udmurtia seized the 400,000th edition of Boris Nadezhdin’s campaign newspaper, the politician’s headquarters reports. Interlocutor of the publication “Idel. Realii” from Nadezhdin’s Kazan headquarters said that the newspapers were arrested as “extremist material.”
The politician’s press service clarifies that the campaign was transferred to the Baikal Service delivery service. The company was supposed to send newspapers to Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod.
“When asked to provide some documents confirming the seizure of the circulation at Baikal Service, they refused. After trying to find out the fate of the circulation, a representative of Baikal Service in an obscene form, he refused further communication to an employee of Boris Nadezhdin’s headquarters,” says Nadezhdin’s telegram channel.
The day before, on February 8, the Central Election Commission refused to register Boris Nadezhdin as a presidential candidate on the pretext of poor-quality signatures. In early February, the politician’s headquarters reported that 60 printing houses throughout Russia refused to print their election newspapers.
Novaya Gazeta Europe claims that Nadezhdin’s headquarters submitted low-quality signatures to the CEC. What is known about this
