The New People party held a conference on Friday to nominate the candidature of the State Duma Vice Speaker Vladislav Davankov for the election of the mayor of Moscow. The event was held on the beach in Serebryany Bor in the format of a picnic with kebabs prepared by the candidate and eaten by the activists. Party leader Aleksey Nechaev noted his colleague’s sense of humor, and Mr. Davankov himself, as his program proposals, announced a moratorium on infill development and training of women in IT specialties so that they would earn no less than men, and also complained that Muscovites from residential areas still go to the center.
