vote in the primaries democratic coalition was held over the weekend, which includes the main forces of the Russian “non-system” opposition. Pre-registered voters voted on the website “wave of change”, as well as at the polling stations in Moscow and several other major cities, including Irkutsk, Tomsk and Kostroma. Of the 95 candidates, voters had to choose 12 people who, in turn, will be included in the electoral list in the elections to the State Duma. Heading it will head Parnassus Mikhail Kasyanov.

The voting began on Saturday and had to end at 21.00 on Sunday. On the second day he was suspended. On Parnassus site suddenly there was a reference to the database with personal voter information: names, birth dates, email addresses, telephone numbers, and usernames and passwords from accounts on the website “The wave of change»

Hackers and “idiots. »

Deputy Chairman Konstantin Parnassus Merzlikin called the incident” hacker attack “and promised to investigate. Mikhail Kasyanov publicly apologized to the affected users and hackers called professionals. “The technological level of penetration to the already encrypted data is very high”, – he estimated

At the same time, another leader of the opposition Navalny urged to resign the party leaders Parnassus after the incident. and he apologized to supporters who previously campaigned for the “wave of change».

Initially, the democratic coalition, created in 2015, consisted of Parnassus, Democratic choice, “progress Party”, “December 5″ “Solidarity” and the Libertarian party of Russia. But this year, after the release of “Kasyanov Day” movie NTV with intimate compromising on the leader Kasyanov and his colleague Parnassus Natalia Pelevin, the coalition is cracking.

The team left Navalny and his supporters of “Progress Party”, the ex -Chapters RDC Vladimir Milov, Deputy Chairman of Parnas Ilya Yashin and several politicians. They failed to persuade Kasyanov come out of the federal electoral list to the State Duma.

The ambitious plans of the democratic coalition dial 100-200 thousand voters and to conduct a large-scale federal campaign failed miserably. Voters registered less than 25 thousand people, and remember the constant bickering coalition participants

it is not surprising that the leakage of user data has led to new recriminations. Participant primaries Natalia Pelevin told “Gazeta.ru”, that data leaks – it is an obvious provocation, which was organized by pro-government structure. She fears that because of this, the results of the primaries may be canceled, it will be an unpleasant surprise for the party and activists. She herself would in any case continue political activities. “These elections did not end”, – she added

Pelevin also negatively related to publications Alexei Navalny, in which he attacked the other members of the opposition camp.. “All these rude and boorish comments on the public by Navalny and his men look very ugly,” – said interlocutor “Gazety.Ru”.

The deputy chairman of Parnassus Ilya Yashin said that data leaks can either be the result of the incompetence of the organizers of the vote, or “sabotage by enemies.” Because those who engaged in the organization could not provide basic voting security, is “strongly discredit the party,” the politician believes

Sam Yashin in the primaries did not participate, but noted that a number of his fellow party members already understand that. Incident compromises . the results of the election process

team around Navalny accused pro-Kremlin not hackers, and “Krivorukov idiots” – Parnassus programmers. So they described one of the founders of the idea of ​​”cloud of democracy” Leonid Volkov, in one of his blog entries on Facebook.

«to store the password in clear text in the database (!). Managed to put the password file voters to their website, and it hung there for about an hour. So your password – is compromised. And if you used it somewhere else – I think that this place is hacked – says Volkov. – I’m in a rage, just incredible. A big blow to the ideas of e-democracy can not think. »

At this criticism publicly said Kirill Khrustalev, who was responsible for the social network in the headquarters of Alexei Navalny and worked in Parnassus. According to him, not the fact that the blame for programmers: the authorities could come to the hosting provider or ISP and get physical access to the server and the democratic coalition to intercept passwords. Recent laws require domestic websites to store data on local servers.

«In the conditions of total surveillance information, the whole point of IT-security boils down to, to keep a server abroad. Suffice it to recall the “plums” accounts mail.ru, yandex.ru, Russia google and the recent scandal with the telegram and MTS – Crystal said. – It does not understand what is meant Wolves when he writes about the discrediting of the idea of ​​e-democracy. . The point is not in ideas, but in the conditions of realization of this idea »

A supporter of Navalny, Oleg Kozlovsky said that, judging by the screenshots to” merge “the base, at least a few hundred people are participating in the primaries -” feykovye “. An activist from the Korolev Igor Grishin says that 82 accounts on the website contain the same password Rizhik2016. In addition, a lot of votes from the same IP-address, which is also suspicious.

Igor Drandin of Democratic Choice believes that such a “sink” beneficial Kasyanov as a convenient argument for the abolition of the election results, which for him “very uncomfortable».

«Saratov Zhirinovsky” in the wake

Under the inconvenient results meant that first place in the primaries took Saratov politician Vyacheslav Maltsev . On the “wave of change” it is registered on the recommendation of Parnassus, but in fact is very uncharacteristic figure for the whole of the liberal opposition movement.

Maltsev poorly known Moscow public for Saratov policy he is a veteran. Three times he was a member of the Regional Legislative Assembly, served as vice-speaker. In the 1980s, the district was Maltsev, then opened his long and CHOP conducted conflict with the ex-governor of the region Dmitry Ayatskov. In 2012, Maltsev announced his candidacy for election to the Legislative Assembly and Saratov as the representative of the Party of the Communist Party won 40% of votes. However, when he lost the election

Today, Maltsev is videoblogs “artillery barrage “and” bad news “with tens of thousands of subscribers. In the liberal camp suspected him of populism, nationalism and anti-Semitism because of sharp jokes during his broadcasts. Saratov news “Look-Info” evaluates it as a left radical who is “ready to unite with anyone, just to be able to on its long-standing tradition of struggle against the regime».

«In Saratov, his image of the sort of local Zhirinovsky – said “Gazeta.ru” Maltsev familiar with the ex-deputy from the Communist Party Gosumy Daria Mitin. – He was running from different parties fairly omnivorous, exposes corruption. . Net populist »

Pelevin believes that victory Maltsev explained easily: the politician has a large base of followers who not only vote personally, but also to attract their friends and acquaintances. “Followers of his blog more than a blog Navalny – added interlocutor” Gazety.Ru “. – He has no access to the media »

Yashin agree that Maltsev victory occurred because of the” low turnout “Maltsev and ability to mobilize their supporters.. “Voted for it are not supporters of Parnassus, and supporters Maltsev,” – said he

«Communicate with opponents of the regime unsafe»

Parnassus St. Petersburg branch of the Co-Chair Andrei Pivovarov said. that all happened once again it proves that the party “conducted a powerful and organized effort” to disrupt the elections. “Lower the arms and refuse to participate can not be”, – he said, urging colleagues to refrain from internal squabbles

However, many members of the coalition are more pessimistic.. Kirill Shulika of “Democratic Choice” believes that the primaries, in fact, broke down. “Once Parnassus violated its obligation to the voters list do not have to push it,” – he added.

Politician Abbas Gallyamov agree that hacking personal database “Waves of Change” has reminded voters sympathetic to “non-systemic” opposition that it is unsafe to contact

«They have once again made sure that participating in the” enemies of the regime “activities quietly not get to sleep. This will prevent the expansion of the number of supporters of the opposition. The incident was to promote unity around Parnassus radical protest movement activists – says Gallyamov. – However, criticism from supporters Navalny, Parnas leaders accused of incompetence, this will prevent consolidation. As a result, opposition supporters will come out of this story disappointed. . This is a tactical victory for the authorities »

Political analyst Mikhail Vinogradov believes that the story of the primaries is converted into an internal opposition to the event: the maximum activity with minimal public impact and creativity. The expert estimates the potential audience of the opposition in the 10-15% of the total number of voters. “Voter divided, demoralized, overly critical and prone to low self-esteem own political opportunities, – said Vinogradov. – Bulk is apparently set to the delegitimization of the election, but its voters, this tactic is not well understood »

After all the scandals protest voter will have to be defined with its own candidate in the last. time.

against this background, a good chance to get more voters appear in the Communist Party or the “Apple”, as they recently did not alienate the electorate, the analyst believes. However, Vinogradov doubt that these parties decide to use this chance. It is more likely that they will continue to distance themselves from the dangerous “non-systemic” opposition.
