On the occasion of the elections to the State Duma (Lower House of the Parliament of the Russian Federation), Russian citizens who were in the Principality of Andorra have had the opportunity to exercise their right to vote in person at the polling stations located in the offices of Sotheby’s International Realty in Andorra.

These have taken place on Sunday, September 19, 2021 and have developed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with all the formalities of a Russian electoral college, sent directly from Moscow.

It should be noted that, despite having the opportunity to exercise the right to vote electronically, many Russian citizens have chosen to travel to the offices of Sotheby’s Andorra, where we had the honor of having the presence of three diplomats from the Consulate. Russian General of Madrid: Igor Ermolenko, Alexander Korchagin and Eric Nurgaleev.

In addition to Arsenni Maximov, an independent observer from a Russian opposition party in charge of ensuring security and ensuring the validity of the event.

We are pleased to announce that, after counting the votes and with a high turnout (number%), our Russian compatriots have named the winner the United Russia party, which has secured a parliamentary majority, strengthening the power of President Vladimir Putin.

Finally, we would like to thank Narcís Socías for providing us with his services and for giving us the space to celebrate the first Russian elections that have taken place in the Principality of Andorra, as well as his presence throughout the event; and to Irina Khavaeva, his secretary, who was also present at this celebration.
