Additional information:

A photo of Alexander Glebov, journalist of the Current Time TV channel, as the editorial office of the media found out, is being sent out in chats of St. Petersburg election commissions with the caption «Be careful. Do not provide any information, do not allow filming». Glebov said that today, on the first day of early voting on amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, he was not allowed to the polling station in the Petrogradsky district. According to the editorial office, this was done under the pretext that Glebov's accreditation card stated he was not a journalist but a «technical employee».
