According to Ivan Krasikov, a representative of the Civil Election Committee, on the eve of the elections, more than 600 members of the Leon security company, owned by Mikhail Koshlyak, the official assistant to the people's deputy from Ukrop Filatov, were registered as observers from the OPORA Network of public activists.
As political scientist Viktor Pashchenko noted: “During the election campaign, two political forces belonging to the same financial and industrial group aggressively used black PR against their opponents. On election day, we see violations of election legislation, pressure on commissions, and the presence of people in camouflage uniforms. All this intimidates people.
The consequence of all this is that turnout in these elections is on average 25% lower than in the October 2014 elections to the Verkhovna Rada. Add to this the disgusting preparation for the elections by local authorities, as a result of which 10% of polling stations did not open on time.
In fact, we can state that the elections in Dnepropetrovsk cannot be called democratic and transparent.”
