  • “Electoral Tourists” from Abroad: Who Are They?
    Regional elections 10 September 2017 Russian Federation “ELECTORAL TOURISTS” FROM ABROAD: WHO ARE THEY? According to the Central Election Commission of Russia, 774 international observers from 63 countries were accredited in Russia for the 2016 State Duma elections. There were no official international observers at the September 10, 2017 elections, but election commissions and media reported about a group of foreigners who came to Russia with the informal status of “foreign experts.” Despite the fact that they had no official status of international/foreign observers, and, according to Russian law, could not be present in the voting premises, they were welcomed by the election commissions and allowed to spend time at the polling stations. Since such electoral tourists should also be expected at the Russian presidential elections scheduled for March 2018, Golos decided to analyze this phenomenon. We sourced our information from the local and foreign media. Who was there Since the “foreign experts” did not receive the official status of international/foreign observers envisioned by the Russian legislation, there is no official list of these persons. Detailed media monitoring allowed Golos specialists to discover approximately 20 names. More than half of the visitors were from France and Italy. Almost all of the “observers” were from the European Union, save for two citizens of South Korea and one US citizen. The most striking guest was Aymeri d’Artagnan, a former member of the European and French parliaments, the owner of a castle in the province of Gascony and of de Tréville’s sword, and the chairman of the Association of Musketeers.

    NCSEJ WEEKLY NEWS BRIEF Washington, D.C. June 23, 2017 Trump meets Ukrainian leader amid Russia investigation By Vivian Salama Washington Post, June 20, 2017 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-meets-poroshenko-for-brief-drop-in-visit/2017/06/20/3f0aa70c- 55ce-11e7-840b-512026319da7_story.html?utm_term=.0ef47589bbaf WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump met with his Ukrainian counterpart Tuesday amid intensifying questions over whether his administration will step in to protect partners in the face of Russian aggression. The meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was originally described by the White House as a brief “drop-in.” But the two presidents posed for photographs in the Oval Office and made brief remarks following Poroshenko’s more extensive meetings with Vice President Mike Pence and the administration’s top national security advisers. With the Ukrainian leader sitting by his side, Trump said it was a “great honor” to meet Poroshenko and that “a lot of progress has been made” in the U.S. relationship with Ukraine. There was no mention of Russia, nor did Trump respond to questions about the ongoing investigation over possible collusion by members of the Trump administration with Russia during the 2016 presidential election. Trump staunchly denies he had any contact with Russian officials during the campaign and has tweeted that the investigation is a “witch hunt” spearheaded by Democrats bitter over losing the election. Trump has maintained that he hopes to establish better ties with Moscow, repairing ill will from the Obama era that resulted from Russia’s 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region and its widely condemned support of Syria’s President Bashar Assad, despite his attacks against civilians.
