“It seems to me that Sobyanin is in many respects right: if the representatives of the opposition were to pursue the goal of actually getting into the Moscow City Duma, they could figure out how to do it. Well, for example, I understood that I did not have any financial resources or time to collect signatures, so I agreed with Fair Russia, which suggested that I go to the polls from them. And then the question is: checkers or go? ”Said RT Ryabtseva.

According to her, if you want to get into the Moscow City Duma, you try to do it by all available means in the reality that it is.

“But the opposition has only a desire to pope, make some noise and gather protest. When Ilya Yashin delivers the wrong subscription lists, it is rather a provocation. If FBK lawyers are doing something with an obvious legal violation, then most likely they are trying to ensure that they are not registered. That there was a possibility of escalation, provocation, manipulation, blackmail of the Moscow City Election Committee, ”said Ryabtseva.

Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, commenting on an uncoordinated protest rally in the capital on July 27, called justified the use of force by law enforcement agencies towards the rally participants. According to him, the protesters "switched to action, attempts to block roads, to block the streets, attack on the police."
