LDPR, Communists Russia File Identical Lawsuits Against Yabloko
LDPR and Communist Party of Russia lawsuits against the 'Yabloko' party in Sverdlovsk and Kaliningrad regions, in some places, verbatim repeat each other. The lawsuits of two different parties matched at about 63%, the party 'Yabloko' press service reported.
Consensus
- Two lawsuits were filed by LDPR and the Communists of Russia in Kalingrad and Sverdlovsk regional courts against Yabloko.
- The lawsuits seek to cancel Yabloko's registration for regional parliamentary elections.
- The cases are scheduled to be reviewed on August 28.
- The lawsuits contain nearly identical text, including long paragraphs, arguments, and structure.
- Yabloko claims the lawsuits are not genuine legal disputes but part of a coordinated effort to remove political opponents from the electoral process.
- The same tactic was previously used successfully by Rodina in Pskov and Karelia regions.
Points of divergence
- The overall coincidence rate, including the missing section on campaign financing in the Kalingrad lawsuit, is approximately 51%. — tvrain
