According to the politician, despite the efforts of civil activists, the authorities will make attempts of stuffing fake ballots, and military intervention is also possible.
«There will be still some attempts of our ballots removal by the fake ones; seizures by the police are also not an exception. They will be arrested for their killers-like or criminals-like looks or the fact that the car has allegedly been stolen, etc. We’ve all been there. But we will do everything possible to ensure the proper observation,» Sergei Kalyakin said.
