According to the results of the pseudo-elections that the occupiers held in occupied Crimea, the representative of the peninsula in the State Duma of the Russian Federation became a collaborator deputy from United Russia, Yuri Nesterenko. This was reported by the Russian Central Election Commission.

68.7% of voters in Simferopol single-mandate electoral district 19 voted for the candidate from United Russia.

The Crimean Tatar Resource Center calls on the world not to recognize this illegal vote in occupied Crimea.
