The second part of the “secret” stuffing at the elections in St. Petersburg was published

It shows two women performing “tricks” with a ballot box to distribute the ballots they had previously cast.

“Observers of St. Petersburg” write that, most likely, the video shows polling station No. 5 of the Admiralteysky district at school No. 260.

There are many more videos like this, it happened all over the place

I doubt that there are that much of videos like that. Russian government is very controlling of who gets access to recordings from voting stations. Often even observers, who are supposed to verify how fair the elections were, don't get access to the recordings.

I'm convinced this video was leaked only because of how silly these women acted. Probably someone shared this recording with a friend, he with another friend, and now we all admire this video.

I don't think anyone was on the edge of their seats wondering if this was the norm
