  "account": "Bair Tsyrenov, a candidate for the Russian Communist Party (KPRF) in Buryatia's district, appeared in a television ad promoting the slogan \"Power to the people, peace to the world,\" according to Sibirsky Ekspress. The ad featured Tsyrenov, who is also a deputy in Buryatia's People's Khural, alongside characters asking questions such as \"When will the SVO end?\", \"Why block the internet?\", \"How can we live with such taxes?\", \"Why is everything getting more expensive?\", and \"Why do we need the recycling fee?\" The video concluded with Tsyrenov asking, \"Why don't the authorities trust us?\" He explained that the Communists aimed to encapsulate the concerns of modern people in just 15 seconds, as they themselves share these same questions. The Yabloko party had previously run for State Duma elections using the antiwar slogan \"For Peace and Freedom,\" but their federal list was removed from the ballot in early August due to a lawsuit from competitors. Following this, regional courts began removing Yabloko candidates who had intended to contest local parliamentary elections.",
