Pro-peace Russian parliamentary candidate Yulia Kuznetsova says she’s home and voted after disappearing days before the election. She still hasn’t fully explained what happened.

Russian Green Party parliamentary candidate Yulia Kuznetsova returned home and voted in the recent election, but she has not provided a full explanation for her disappearance that had left her supporters worried. Kuznetsova stopped responding to messages and calls on the evening of September 17. She told Meduza, "I’m back home, and my husband and I are fine.

I was also able to vote at my polling station. Thank you all for your support," along with a photo from a polling station. Her supporters confirmed she and her husband are at home and free. Kuznetsova's disappearance began after she met with voters in Sokolniki. She later posted a video saying she had "had a pretty difficult conversation" with someone, though she did not reveal who that was.

Her supporters believe she may have had a nervous breakdown, and her husband took her away for rest.
