#ELECTIONS2026

🇷🇺 On September 20, voting concluded in the elections to the 9th convocation of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. The last polling station at a Russian diplomatic mission abroad closed today at 5:00 am Moscow time.

Through the efforts of Russia’s Central Election Commission and Foreign Ministry, all necessary arrangements were made to enable Russian citizens residing or temporarily staying abroad to exercise their right to vote – from the far reaches of the Arctic to the most remote corners of the globe.

🌐 A total of 326 polling stations were set up at Russian diplomatic missions – embassies, permanent missions and consulates general – in 152 countries.

In seven countries (Bahrain, Israel, Iraq, Yemen, China, Kuwait and Libya), all voting took place ahead of the main election day to accommodate local work schedules and religious calendars.

Russian diplomatic and consular missions organised 121 early voting sessions for employees of Russian companies and enterprises working far from home, as well as Russian military personnel safeguarding the security and sovereignty of our allies.

In unfriendly countries, where the local authorities encouraged persistent attempts to intimidate Russian citizens ahead of the election campaign, our compatriots stood firm and voted responsibly despite the psychological pressure exerted on them.

***

👉 As per tradition, we have compiled a comprehensive roundup of posts on voting abroad:

🗳 Early voting at off-site locations
🗳 Voting on September 18-20

We thank all Russian citizens who cast their ballots far from home and fulfilled their civic duty.

Chinara Mambetalieva presented key innovations in regulating medicines circulation in the EAEU market

Chinara Mambetalieva, Deputy Director of the Eurasian Economic Commission's Technical Regulation and Accreditation Department, spoke at the plenary session of the 11th All-Russian GMP Conference “A New Decade of GMP: Innovation, Safety, Reliability” held in Stavropol.

📋 The EEC representative informed about the key indicators of the Eurasian registration and inspection system, highlighting the main innovations for 2026. These include an update to Annex 1 of the GMP Regulations, the introduction of Part 4 of the GMP Regulations, which for the first time enshrined specific requirements to the manufacture of advanced therapy medicinal products, and the adoption of guidelines on temperature mapping and microbiological monitoring.

Chinara Mambetalieva drew particular attention of the conference attendees to Decision No. 87 of the EEC Council dated July 9, 2026, which requires the authorized bodies of the Eurasian Economic Union countries to apply the WHO Good Regulatory Practices (GRP). Unlike GMP and other good practices directed at manufacturers, the GRP regulations are targeted at regulators and concern how the system is structured, how decisions are made, and how their impact is assessed.

The conference hosted an off-site meeting of the Working Group on Pharmaceutical Inspections to Ensure Compliance with Good Pharmaceutical Practices in the Circulation of Medicines within the EAEU. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Member States' inspectorates.

The 11th All-Russian GMP Conference is the leading sector-specific forum to discuss the application of Good Manufacturing Practices. This year’s conference program covers the updates in GMP, contract manufacturing, the manufacture of biopharmaceutical products, licensing and inspections, as well as the functioning of the EAEU common market.

🌍 The event is attended by representatives of regulatory authorities, expert organizations, and pharmaceutical manufacturers from the Union States, as well as international experts from South Africa, Indonesia, and the African Medicines Agency.

⚡️ Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation:

The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (#SVR) reports that, according to information received by the SVR, the issue of appropriating the Bank of Russia’s funds frozen in the EU continues to preoccupy Brussels.

This time, experts are drawing up proposals to establish a new supranational body where Russian assets could be “hidden” after being moved out of Euroclear, the securities depository under Belgian jurisdiction.

❗️ EU bureaucrats are in a hurry. They fear that without confiscating Russian assets, they will be unable to keep indefinitely financing the corrupt Kiev regime, which serves as an expendable tool in NATO’s conflict with Russia.

EU leaders have a vested interest in completing their operation to steal Russian assets before elections in several European countries in 2027. After that, the “window of opportunity” for seizing these assets may simply close if the elections produce governments less sympathetic to the Kiev regime and opposed to fuelling a major war in Europe.

☝️ In this regard, Europe’s would-be thieves are particularly wary of the upcoming presidential election in France and parliamentary elections in Spain, Greece and Poland.

The EU’s current ruling elite would do well to understand that its attempts to steal Russia’s sovereign funds will undermine trust in European institutions. Countries of the Global South will no longer regard European jurisdiction as a “safe haven”.

Europe, meanwhile, will be unable to maintain the stability of its own financial system without the support of major foreign holders of European securities, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Singapore.

👉 The thief will therefore be punished, whatever happens.

💬 Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin:

📄 A JOKE OF A CHANCELLOR | or the role of the individual in creating problems

Germany’s days as Europe’s largest economy are OVER.

Just over ten years ago, Germany was one of Russia’s key economic partners in Europe.

Germany prospered thanks to affordable energy supplies from Russia. We, in turn, increased our budget revenues and developed our industries.

All of this was built on mutually beneficial cooperation.

Looking back, Germany was far more assertive in defending its national interests at that time, building relations that served its country and its people.

❗️ Germany’s current leadership, headed by Merz, has made a STRATEGIC MISTAKE. Instead of addressing its citizens’ problems and looking after its own country, Merz has become an active participant in hostilities on Ukraine’s side, financing the neo-Nazi Kiev regime and supplying it with weapons at German citizens’ expense.

And he did not stop there.

Throughout the State Duma election campaign, we recorded numerous instances of interference by German state institutions. Even before voting began, they were already passing judgement on the election results, seeking to discredit them and declaring that they would not recognise them.

Incidentally, Landtag elections were taking place in Germany at the same time as our State Duma election campaign.

Our position has always been clear and remains so: this is internal affairs of a sovereign state. The people of each country determine their own future by electing their representatives to public office.

Now that the results are in, we can congratulate our colleagues on the conclusion of their election campaign. And on its outcome.

🗳 The people of Germany’s states have made their choice.

Merz has become A JOKE OF A CHANCELLOR.

Just as Zelensky has long been ILLEGITIMATE.

In six months, it will be Macron’s turn to HEAD FOR THE EXIT.

Clinging to power, ALL OF THEM have brought MISERY and PROBLEMS upon the peoples of their own countries and beyond.

THEY WILL HAVE TO ANSWER FOR IT ‼️
