The Communists refused to recognize the online voting results in the capital, accusing the authorities of falsifying the electronic ballot count. The KPRF is set to hold another rally on Saturday, September 25, under the slogan \u201cFor Fair Elections.\u201d However, Meduza\u2019s sources say the party\u2019s top brass isn\u2019t planning to challenge the election results as a whole. Instead, party leader Gennady Zyuganov is allegedly trying to bargain with the Kremlin, in a supposed bid to secure influential positions within the State Duma for Communist Party members.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">On Friday, September 24, Russia\u2019s federal censor threatened to block the Communist Party\u2019s website for displaying a banner announcing a protest rally scheduled for the next day. In turn, the Moscow Mayor\u2019s Office refused to approve the rally, citing pandemic restrictions, and the police and the Attorney General\u2019s Office warned against taking part in the unsanctioned protest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">Meanwhile, Moscow police arrested Sergey Udaltsov, the coordinator of the Left Front movement, for posting calls to attend the protest on social media.\u00a0According to media reports, police officers were stationed outside of the Communist Party\u2019s Moscow headquarters and the Moscow City Duma building; several KPRF deputies were inside at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">Earlier, police officers started showing up at the homes of people who attended the Communist Party rally in downtown Moscow on September 20, the day after the elections. In particular, State Duma candidates Mikhail Lobanov, Sergey Kurgansky, and Sergey Obukhov all received police visits. On September 23, Sergey Vlasov, a Moscow municipal deputy from the KPRF, was arrested and taken to a police station, where he was handed misdemeanor charges for participating in the unsanctioned rally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">A source close to Putin\u2019s executive office told Meduza that it\u2019s being made clear to the Communists that calling for street protests crosses a line and shouldn\u2019t be done. \u201cYou can make statements, talk about some non-recognition [of the election results, or] a judicial appeal. But don\u2019t fight in the streets,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">Meduza\u2019s source also emphasized the fact that the Communist Party\u2019s leadership is speaking out about the rally, but rather cautiously. \u201cKPRF [leader] Gennady Zyuganov is negotiating with [Putin\u2019s Chief of Staff] Anton Vaino about how the Communist Party can ride out this situation,\u201d the source explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">According to the source, Putin\u2019s administration believes that the Communists received a \u201crespectable result\u201d from the party lists and scooped up several \u201cuncoordinated\u201d single-mandate constituencies. For example, Communist Party candidates Leonid Kalashnikov and Oleg Smolin, who both won in single-mandate constituencies, either ran against very weak United Russia candidates or didn\u2019t face a competitor from the ruling party at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">\u201c[KPRF leader in Komi] Oleg Mikhailov got through, Zyuganov added [former Irkutsk Regional Governor] Sergey Levchenko and [former senator from Irkutsk and founder of the Buryat riot police] Vyacheslav Markhaev\u00a0to the party list without any agreement [with the Kremlin]. These are real opposition politicians, now they\u2019re in the Duma,\u201d the source said, arguing that the Communists got what they wanted and \u201ceven more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">In turn, a Meduza source close to United Russia\u2019s leadership claimed that after the elections, Gennady Zyuganov met with not only Anton Vaino, but also his first deputy Sergey Kiriyenko, who is in charge of domestic policy, as well as Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. \u201cHis main demand was the annulment of the results of electronic voting in Moscow. However, he was given the understanding that no one will do this,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">KPRF spokesman Alexander Yushchenko told Meduza that Zyuganov has \u201calways\u201d called for canceling electronic voting. \u201cAs for the meetings with those whom you\u2019ve listed, I can neither confirm nor deny. Because even if these meetings took place, they\u2019re not public,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">A Meduza source in the Communist Party said that Zyuganov himself \u201cunderstands\u201d that the Kremlin and the Moscow Mayor\u2019s Office won\u2019t back down from their position. As such, he\u2019s trying to negotiate high-status posts within the State Duma for Communist Party lawmakers: \u201cFor example, two vice-speakers and not one, as was [the case] in the last convocation. More committees where Communists are in leadership positions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">During a KPRF caucus meeting on September 23, Zyuganov spoke rather cautiously and even tried to calm his fellow Communists down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">\u201cOur party brought together a huge stratum of talented people. But [you must] show maximum restraint during this austere time. Show endurance and resilience [&#8230;] There are two towers in the Kremlin. One tower is the state-patriotic one, it has always had and continues to have a dialogue with us. And the second tower is liberal-cosmopolitan. This is, in essence, a fifth column, ready to tear Russia apart at any moment. Our task is to rally all our best forces around us, so that our country will come out of a severe systemic crisis peacefully and with dignity,\u201d he told his fellow party members.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">In turn, the Communist Party\u2019s first deputy chairman Yuri Afonin said that the scandals surrounding electronic voting \u201cshook the system.\u201d \u201cNow, we\u2019re filing a lawsuit and, together with the public, we will prove the depravity of electronic voting,\u201d he promised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">The KPRF leadership isn\u2019t refusing to recognize the election results as a whole, they\u2019re only challenging the results of online voting \u2014 and they\u2019re already discussing their future work in the State Duma, a source in the party told Meduza. Indeed, KPRF central committee secretary Dmitry Novikov already told Kommersant about several parliamentary committees the Communists would like to lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">Asked about the KPRF\u2019s official position on recognizing the election results, the party\u2019s spokesman said he couldn\u2019t say. \u201cThis is a political statement that will be made by the party leadership. Of course I can\u2019t [answer this question]. Such statements are made following the results. The results were only [announced] today. This is a question for the chairman,\u201d Alexander Yushchenko replied, reiterating that the Communist Party doesn\u2019t recognize the online voting results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">According to a Meduza source from a regional Communist Party branch, some branches in the regions are also planning street protests in a bid to make the KPRF leadership take a stronger position \u201cif only in words, so there\u2019s no compromise.\u201d \u201cIf we\u2019re silent, the feds will be even more silent,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"SimpleBlock-module_p__Q3azD\">\u201cThe rally \u2018For Fair Elections\u2019 was declared at the federal level,\u201d the KPRF\u2019s spokesman told Meduza. \u201cAs for regional [protest rallies], some regions announced a meeting with voters. Each region has its own way.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"DonatesTeaser-module_title__hs-yr\">We won\u2019t give up Because you\u2019re with us<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m with you, Meduza<\/p>\n<p class=\"MaterialNote-module_note_caption__1ezSo\">Story by <strong>Andrey Pertsev <\/strong>with additional reporting by <strong>Svetlana Reiter <\/strong>and <strong>Kristina Safonova<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MaterialNote-module_note_credit__PuFyX\">Translation by <strong>Eilish Hart<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--noindex--><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/meduza.io\/en\/feature\/2021\/09\/24\/for-fair-elections\">Source<\/a><!--\/noindex--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defeated Communist Party candidates Valery Rashkin (left) and Denis Parfenov (center) at the protest rally on September 20Evgeny Feldman \/ Meduza The day after the elections to Russia\u2019s State Duma, the Communist Party (KPRF) rallied around 200 protesters in downtown Moscow.
