From the article: "Candidates for registration must collect voter signatures in their support in the amount of 3% of all constituency voters (from 4,500 to 5,500 signatures)."
It would be useful to know the numbers of signatures being presented. If a candidate submits 10,000 signatures, then it is pretty obvious that this is a system set up to block candidates. I don't think other countries block candidates based on the percentage of flawed signatures. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 12:33, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Those with more time than me may want to incorporate this reference, and some info from the article:
For example; from the article:
"Colleagues," the letter says, "in the Presnensky and Basmanny districts and in the center of Moscow, a number of base stations are disabled at the request of law enforcement agencies."
The letter added that this information was not to be publicly disclosed, there would be a subterfuge instead. |

OVD-Info, a monitoring body, said 245 people were arrested at Saturday's demonstration in Moscow and 80 in St Petersburg. A small number of other arrests took place in other cities, including Rostov-on-Don and Bryansk. |

Are there RS's documenting whether the protestors are using the decentralised, user-controlled privacy-respecting online social networks - the Fediverse [with Mastodon (software), Diaspora (social network), PeerTube for videos, and so on software and servers] - as a safer alternative to GAFAM during these election protests? Even though GAFAM (and Twitter, although it's not strictly GAFAM) are mainly US-owned, their lack of security and centralised nature makes them risky for long-term sustainable human rights organising, so I would guess that a lot of the protestors are using the Fediverse. But I'm just speculating - I don't have sources... Boud ( talk) 00:07, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
Maybe this explains the comments about apps, which was not my original question, but now it is. :) There are now lots of sources for Bridgefy being heavily used in the 2019 Hong Kong anti-extradition bill protests and FireChat being used earlier in the 2014 Hong Kong protests, the 2015 Ecuadorian protests and the 2015 Free Way to the Catalan Republic protests. Bridgefy seems to be non-free (software licencing) and an unsourced comment at FireChat says that FireChat is a non-free fork of riot.im (which is free-licensed with a permissive licence, which means that forks may legally be non-free).
So these are all independent of the Internet, if I understand correctly. If the smartphones have enough battery power, then among themselves (or maybe with extra emitters placed in/on shops, homes, balconies, trees, wherever - an unsourced comment on my talk page seems to claim that the smartphones alone would not be able to make a viable network), they have a mesh network over Bluetooth which is robust against police censorship.
Do we have RS's for any of these being used at the Moscow Duma election protests? Boud ( talk) 01:52, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

The overhead Moscow crowd photos in the article can be mentioned here on Wikipedia.
Also, since you speak Russian please contact the photographers and ask them to upload their overhead photos to here:

It seems that the protests/political crisis portion needs to be split-off as a separate article, e.g. something like 2019 Russia protests. The protests have become quite a significant story in their own right, and the info about them overwhelms the City Duma elections article. So, if somebody has time to perform such a split-off, I think this needs to be done. Nsk92 ( talk) 09:24, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
The clip has been viewed more than four million times on social media and has caused outrage in Russia. It will now be examined by the country's Investigative Committee -- the main federal investigative body in the country -- Sosnovskaya's lawyer told Russian state news agency TASS after filing a grievance. |

And this isn’t just about Moscow: we’re doing all this for 27 regional elections on Voting Day [September 8]. ... To beat United Russia, we need to get through to about three percent of voters. There are 7.5 million of them registered in Moscow, so 3.5 percent is roughly 225,000 to 250,000 people. We’ll round that up to 300,000, to be safe. |

What do the map colors on this map represent?:
-- Timeshifter ( talk) 16:46, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
Different constituencues have different colors, that's the only point. The " gerrymandering salamanders" are so ugly, that it is difficult to distinguish the borders without colors (ex. const 9, 11, 31, 38, etc.). White lines are the actual borders between raions. Blue lines are borders between constituencies. In most of cases, constituencies contain parts of raions, splitting raions between different constituencies (ex 33-34, 3-5, 26-27, 22-25 etc.).
