Adequacy in Russia is now marked with brilliant green: if you don’t give in, you’re not a sucker

Ukrainian scammers sincerely made fun of their charges

The past days of voting gave rise to a joke: “If during the elections you sell brilliant green according to prescriptions, you can save several pensioners who owe money to the “bank security service” from prison.” It would be funny if it didn’t look so sad. Among the “green extremists” who rushed to the polling stations with bottles of brilliant green and iodine at the ready were not only “iodine-deficient” manicurists, but even doctors of science and… members of the PEC. And what brought them together was not ideological principles, but selfless faith in scammers.

According to the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, in the first two days, “narrow-minded people staged provocations at 29 polling stations in 20 Russian regions.” Urns and KOIBs were filled with brilliant green and iodine; there were eight cases of attempts to set fire to areas. As a result of this “attack”, as many as… 214 ballots were damaged. Well, another 29 lives were derailed, because a real sentence is provided for “obstructing the exercise of voting rights or the work of election commissions.” And if it is proven that a person acted on someone’s instructions, and even more so on the instructions of foreign intelligence services, this period will be very impressive.

So who decided to put an impressive “green cross” on their prosperous existence? In Moscow, a 20-year-old manicurist poured green stuff into the trash bin. After her arrest, she said that scammers over the phone scammed her out of a large sum of money, which they promised to return after she completed a “secret mission.” Another “manicurist,” 27-year-old Anna from Mozdok, tried to fill magazines with voter lists with iodine. But it only splashed them slightly. During interrogation, she told about the scheme by which she was “recruited.” At first, some people reported that her account on State Services had been “hacked,” saying that they were trying to get a loan for her. To “be safe,” the woman was asked to take out loans herself and transfer the money to the specified accounts. Anna took 657 thousand rubles. And after that she was also informed that after the “break-in “State Services” her data was leaked to supporters of Ukraine and she must go to the station to spoil the magazine with her data… The most interesting thing is that the lady is the wife of a SVO participant and is now in the process of giving birth. Maybe this will affect the punishment assigned to her and she will get off with a fine.

But 21-year-old Anna Karaseva from St. Petersburg, who threw a petrol bomb into the building where polling stations No. 1395 and No. 1396 were located, will not get off easy, because this is already extremism. Just like the 18-year-old polytechnic student from Asbest, who threw a Molotov cocktail towards the entrance to the polling station. Moreover, she herself said that they promised to transfer her 150 thousand rubles for arson. However, only 2,500 were transferred, so she did not set fire to the second section.

Emilia Nosova, a 50-year-old professor at UrFU and the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Chemical Sciences, was also arrested in Yekaterinburg for 15 days. She came to the site with a bottle of brilliant green and diligently tried to pour it into the COIB, saying something about “biosynthesis.” She was detained. Teachers and students of URFU claim that Nosova is a very kind, calm and intelligent person who has never had protest political views. During the conversation, it turned out that the scammers forced her to transfer as much as 15 million rubles to unknown people. And they promised to return them only after the woman spoiled the ballots. The manipulators did almost the same thing with 47-year-old Alexey from Yekaterinburg, to whom unknown persons promised to help him pay off his “debt.” Which, by the way, he didn’t have – it turned out to be a trick.

And in Udmurtia, the “saboteur with brilliant green” turned out to be… Nadezhda Pinegina, a voting member of the precinct election commission, nominated to the commission by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Trying to fill the COIB with brilliant green, she held the phone in her hands and said: “This is necessary. This is necessary.” They say the lady also became a victim of scammers. But in her case, she will have to answer to the fullest extent of the law, because she was on duty…

“Call centers from Ukraine worked 100% during the elections in the Russian Federation. Grown men of 47 years old and women of 50 years old seriously went to douse ballots with brilliant green, because they would be written off debts that they do not have,” he wrote about this in the telegram channel Investigative blogger Anatoly Shariy. The most interesting thing is that the “divorce masters” from the call centers, observing the actions of their charges, sincerely made fun of them on social networks. “By… This crazy one really went to set the stand on fire,” they said cheerfully in the comments. However, this scheme did not always work. In Gorlovka, scammers managed to defraud a special operation veteran of 3 million rubles. But when they promised to return them if he spilled green stuff on the ballot box, he went not to the polling station, but to the FSB Directorate for the DPR. So at some stage it doesn’t hurt to turn on your head.
