Dozhd

The turnout in Serbia in the Russian presidential election was 71.99 percent - i.e., 1,370 out of 1,903 voters registered with the embassy.

Pavel Grudin of the Communist Party won 5.55 percent of the votes, while Ksenia Sobchak, an independent candidate, received 4.67 percent, the embassy announced.

RT: As two Russian politicians discussed the future after the presidential election, their discussion quickly turned into a confrontation, with both sides accusing each other of lies, hypocrisy and betrayal of the liberal cause.

Opposition journalist Ksenia Sobchak is running for president of Russia in the 2018 elections.

"I have decided to run for president at the age of 36. I want to return the opportunity to vote against all," says Sobchak's address on a site specially created for the campaign.

“The decision is made,” reads the text Ksenia Sobchak is due to deliver on Russian TV. “Enough silence, I’ve thought about it for months… I intend to be the candidate for those who want to vote against everyone.”

The Committee to Protect Journalists has called on Russian authorities to allow Dozhd TV to broadcast without fear of harassment.
