Last Sunday, as Russians across the country cast ballots in local races, election commission members were attacked at two polling stations in St. Petersburg. Georgy Medvedinsky, a member of the № 1619 precinct commission with a consultative vote, says he was jumped in the street, near his polling station. After the elections were over, the watchdog group “Petersburg Observers” published video footage of another attack inside precinct 1619 itself.

In surveillance footage from the polling station, a man walks up to election commission member Vasily Dyachenko at 3:25 p.m. and gut-punches him without warning. Despite witnessing the attack and hearing Dyachenko cry out in pain, other members of the election commission initially ignored the incident. Eventually, a woman approaches Dyachenko to find out what happened.

The election monitor told Meduza that the assault occurred after he complained to election commission chairwoman Irina Yanikovskaya about the incorrect filing of certain voter lists, pointing out that the pages weren’t numbered, as required by law. Afterwards, several men also present at the polling station started trying to intimidate Dyachenko, who says his attacker was one of the people Yanikovskaya previously introduced as a fellow election commission member with a consultative vote.
