"This is outrageous. Our posters are being removed, across the country you could say, which is illegal, because we concluded all the necessary contracts and paid all the fees," the unnamed representative told Interfax.
Prokhorov's office plans to file a formal complaint with the Central Election Committee.
The candidate's representative said numerous banners had been taken down in several Russian cities, including seven of 21 in Saratov, all nine in Nizhny Novgorod, seven of 33 at St. Petersburg's Moskovsky Station, and 64 out of 77 at train stations in Moscow.
An unnamed source from the Volga division of Russian Railways told Interfax that the signs taken down near the Saratov train station had been removed over the course of routine work on a previously planned construction project.
Signs supporting Prokhorov were also taken down in 2011 during a campaign to raise the businessman's public profile after he became head of the Right Cause party. The party said at the time that around 300 signs had been removed, RIA-Novosti reported.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
