"Smart voting" is a completely disgusting, terrible project, malicious, which is specifically aimed only at taking revenge and harming one particular party, "Lebedev said.
According to Lebedev, "in any normal country for such activities, of course, people would not be patted on the head, because this is just concrete extremist activity."
"And then they collect all e-mails, collect personal data: they have one leak, two leaks, three leaks, their employees are leaking ..." - Lebedev said.
He also said that he was enraged by the "lack of prohibitions."
“The latest news is that ... some wool company registered the Smart Voting trademark, like Navalny's, and like they went to court and forbade Yandex and Google to give out a link to the Smart Voting website "Navalny," Lebedev said.
On September 6, the press service of Roskomnadzor announced the blocking of the Smart Voting resource due to its connection with an extremist organization.
The regulator said that the reason for blocking the site was the requirement of the Prosecutor General's Office to restrict access to resources associated with the Anti-Corruption Fund (FBK) *.
* The Anti-Corruption Foundation is included in the register of NPOs performing the functions of a foreign agent, by the decision of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation dated 09.10.2019; the organization is recognized as extremist, its activities are prohibited on the territory of Russia by the decision of the Moscow City Court of 06/09/2021.
