"This - Peskov said - is absolutely none of our business, you know that we have legislation that regulates the procedure for citizens' participation in the electoral process, gives them the right to elect and be elected. This applies to all citizens of the country who in some way are not affected by the limitations of rights in accordance with our Russian laws. "
