The elections, which have been going on for 2 days in Russia, will end as of today. However, the elections were on the agenda with their protests rather than their results. In the footage recorded yesterday, a woman who attacked a voting center with a Molotov cocktail was detained, while a woman poured paint on the ballot box during the elections in Yekatarinburg.
HE SPILLED PAINT ON THE CHEST
While people go to the polls in Russia for the presidential elections that will end today, protests continue in some voting elections. Many people who think the elections are unfair pour paint into the ballot boxes where ballot papers are placed. In the Volgograd region, a woman threw a molotov cocktail at the election center. While the flames around the ballot box were extinguished in a short time, the woman who carried out the action was taken into custody.
On the first day of the three-day voting, there were many reports that Russian citizens spilled green paint on the ballot boxes. On Friday, Nikolay Bulayev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Central Election Committee, said there were five separate incidents of liquids being poured into containers. According to the Interfax news agency, the liquid spilled into the chest was an antiseptic solution. According to Russian media, two women were arrested in Moscow for pouring green paint into boxes to destroy ballot papers.
