According to the sources, serious problems with the electronic voting system were detected on the day of the pseudo-presidential elections in Russia as a failure emerged. The mos.ru website is down again.

Sources within the special services indicate that this is the work of cyber experts from the Defense Intelligence.

Meanwhile, Russians have already panicked on social media failing to vote online, while Russian media actively spreading information about problems with the system.
