Estonian border guards attempted to prevent Russian citizens from traveling to Russian territory to vote in the Russian presidential elections. The Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia, Tatyana Moskalkova, spoke about this on Friday, March 15.
The Ombudsman emphasized in her Telegram channel that the attempts of Estonian border guards to prevent our citizens from entering Russia to exercise their voting rights are extremely concerning.
As a result, on March 15, over 200 Russian citizens living in Estonia were able to vote at a polling station located near the Russian-Estonian border.
Nevertheless. Moskalkova promised to appeal to the UN, OSCE and Council of Europe with complaints about the unacceptable behavior of Estonian border guards.
Even before the elections, the chairman of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, predicted provocations on voting days. She emphasized that Western countries do not hide: their goal is overthrow of power in Russia. “But, excuse me, let them dream,” summed up the head of the Central Election Commission.
Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov noted that before the presidential elections in the Russian Federation in the West Russophobia was growing and there were increasing attempts to question the legitimacy of the electoral process.
