Additional information:

The journalist was kicked out of the polling station №7 at 20 Karvat Street on the presidential election day. Chairman of the commission Krainov Vladislav Vladimirovich, getting to know that the journalist is in the lobby, immediately called a policeman. He didn't even put her in the media registry: he said that «correspondents are not allowed to monitor the voting, let alone the counting, there are enough observers as it is – he, as chairman, decided so».
