A Political Chernobyl? Russian communists denounce electoral fraud by the pro-Putin forces in Vladivostok

Left: CPRF candidate Andrei Ishchenko.
Communist protesters have rallied against alleged election rigging in the Pacific port city of Vladivostok on Monday following the loss of their candidate in gubernatorial elections to the incumbent from the ruling United Russia party, newspaper "The Moscow Times" reports.
Gubernatorial elections went into a second round in the region on Sunday after no candidates secured an all-out majority on election day Sept. 9. Primorye was one of four Russian regions in which ruling party candidates were forced into runoffs by candidates from other parties.
