Anton Mikhalchuk, listed in the register of foreign agents, transferred funds to the personal account of Alexei Zhuravlev, leader of the Rodina party. The total amount of transfers was 1,100 rubles.
Mikhalchuk initially transferred 500 rubles, and then another 600 rubles, after learning that the minimum payment for such operations should be 571 rubles, according to ru.headtopics.com.
Mikhalchuk's actions were a response to the Rodina party's lawsuit against Yabloko. Earlier, the Supreme Court removed the Yabloko party's federal list from the State Duma elections based on Rodina's lawsuit, as reported by ru.headtopics.com.
A representative of the Central Election Commission stated in court that Rosfinmonitoring provided information about Yabloko candidates receiving funds from foreign sources, eadaily.com reports. Rodina leader Alexei Zhuravlev claimed that his party's lawyers found "a mass of violations" in Yabloko's campaign, including foreign funding, according to 5-tv.ru.
