Reports of brawls and detentions at Russian polls

A video circulating on social media shows some members of the election commission at polling station no. 803 in St Petersburg breaking a ballot box and throwing ballots around making voting results invalid, and seen by observers as a provocation. An independent candidate for St Petersburg legislature Dmitry Lysov was detained while trying to get into a room where vote counting was taking place. Clashes between his team and election commission members reportedly took place.
