Nadezhdin admitted the presence of defects in the signatures submitted to the Central Election Commission for registration in the elections. In some places the series of passports did not match, in others the signatures were similar, in some sheets the collectors probably filled out the data with their own hands.

“This, of course, is a fantastic joint,” Nadezh Din noted. The video of the meeting was obtained by RT and shows the politician speaking to employees of his headquarters. The meeting was held at the headquarters of the Communist Party.
