    A Russian politician calling for peace in Ukraine hit a
    roadblock in her campaign Saturday, when Russia’s Central
    Election Commission refused to accept her initial nomination
    by a group of supporters, citing errors in the documents
    submitted.

    Former legislator Yekaterina Duntsova is calling for peace
    in Ukraine and hopes to challenge President Vladimir Putin,
    promoting her vision of a “humane” Russia “that’s peaceful,
    friendly and ready to cooperate with everyone on the
    principle of respect.”

    “On Dec. 23, the Central Election Commission refused to
    register my initiative group,” Duntsova wrote on the
    Telegram messaging app.

    Hmmm ... looks like Putin is following Colorado's lead,
    disappear your opponents via bureaucracy rather than by
    being actually better. Colorado must be SO proud !

    NEXT, once the spotlight moves on, she'll mysteriously
    "disappear" for real and forever .....
