This was announced by Deputy Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Alexander Gorovoy.

According to him, call centers in Ukraine had the telephone numbers of Russians, who were deceived for a long time, and then promised to return the money in the event of an action to damage ballot boxes and ballots.

“Many of these facts were demonstrated live on air in Ukraine, as today at one of the polling stations in Perm a woman brought a firecracker with the task of setting it off in the toilet of the precinct election commission,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier in Bashkiria, a pensioner and an 18-year-old young man were detained for trying to throw paint on ballot boxes.
