  "account": "Sergey Mironov, the 73-year-old leader of A Just Russia, struggled to give coherent speeches during his public appearances, jumping from one idea to another. After this, he effectively withdrew from the party's election campaign. Initially attributed to a minor injury, Mironov's absence from public life has been puzzling. The Kremlin's future with the struggling party remains uncertain.",
  "summary": "Sergey Mironov, the 73-year-old leader of A Just Russia, “was unable to maintain a coherent train of thought during his few public appearances and responses to pre-prepared questions, jumping from one idea to another and losing the original meaning of his remarks,” during a trip to Altai Krai in late August, according to the news outlet Sibexpress.",
