Were there any information of people being threated or forced to vote one way or another?

Yes, why are they so quiet? May be something were offered to them and that offer was accepted? Or you think russian army threatened them with genocide in case of wrong behavior?

Did that party had any real power or financial resources for election campaing? Or were they just bunch of blabbers trying to capitalize on pro-russian rhetoric? Didn't Region Party have pro-russian rhetoric (esp. in Crimea), being direct competitor of these pro-russian parties?
