Russian pro-peace parliamentary candidate Yulia Kuznetsova resurfaces after going missing, saying a ‘difficult conversation’ left her needing psychological and medical help

Yulia Kuznetsova, a Green Party candidate for State Duma, has reappeared after being missing for a day following a meeting with voters. In a video posted to her Telegram channel, she stated that she and her husband were unharmed, with her husband providing her with psychological and medical care following a "difficult conversation."

Kuznetsova was running in Moscow's Babushkinsky single-member district as the Greens' candidate on a platform of "life, peace, and freedom." Her disappearance came after the Navalny team endorsed her candidacy through their Smart Voting project. On September 17, she could no longer be reached after the voter meeting in Sokolniki.

An associate reported her missing to the authorities, leading to a police search. On September 18, police informed her associate of her whereabouts, though they could not disclose the exact location.
