Business Insider: Russia is accusing the US of 'direct interference' in its elections
* A Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman on Tuesday said the US was meddling in Russia's coming presidential election by condemning the decision to bar the opposition candidate Alexei Navalny from running.
* "This State Department statement, which I'm sure will be repeated, is a direct interference in our electoral process and internal affairs," the spokeswoman wrote.
* Russia's Election Commission barred Navalny from running last week, citing a previous embezzlement conviction. The European Court of Human Rights has called that conviction "arbitrary" and "unreasonable."
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Tuesday accused the US of "direct interference in our electoral process and internal affairs" following the State Department's criticism of Russia's decision to bar the opposition leader Alexey Navalny from running in the coming presidential election against Vladimir Putin.
"This State Department statement, which I'm sure will be repeated, is a direct interference in our electoral process and internal affairs," Zakharova wrote Tuesday on Facebook.

What goes around comes around. You will find very little sympathy for Russian claims and outrage over US meddling. Keep in mind it wasn't just the US that complained about meddling, but also the secret services of France, Germany,Poland, Ukraine and the UK all reported meddling and meddling attempts by Russia. So this isn't one country's word against another's. More like 5 countries (or more, I lost track) all pointing to Russia
Dear Anon
If our source of information and your experiences are reflected in your language and venomous comments, then, sorry, but you are not anyone I much care to listen to for wise advice or suggestions. As my mommy would say: you need your mouth washed out with soap.
True brother, no one with half a brain believes in the russian interference story in sweden either. But the ruling class want to believe everything american media says.
Trump is very hated by swedish media, because they believe he is a new fuhrer. Among us conservatives he is very popular because he wants less immigration.
ah, the ruling class!
politicans?
wealthy 1%?
military?
anyone doing better than me financially and in education achievement?
