Court Allows CPRF Candidate Matveev Back in Duma Race
The candidate from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Matveyev, was not allowed to participate in the State Duma elections.
Consensus
- Mikhail Matveev, a CPRF candidate for the State Duma, was initially removed from the election list.
- The removal was based on a lawsuit filed by Anna Sarantseva, a candidate from the Pensioners' Party.
- The lawsuit alleged copyright violations related to the use of Microsoft fonts and old photos on Matveev's website.
- The Samara Regional Court later reversed the decision and allowed Matveev to remain in the election race.
- Matveev is a sitting member of the State Duma and sought re-election.
