Karachay-Cherkessia In April and May 1999, elections were held for the head of Karachay-Cherkessia. The mayor of Cherkessk Stanislav Derev received 43.1% of the vote in the first round, surpassing former Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Ground Forces general Vladimir Semyonov, with 17.9% of the vote. After the first round, confrontation started to arise between the frontrunners. The rivalry of Semyonov and Derev was viewed as a confrontation between the Karachays and Circassians. On the morning of May 16, the roads to areas with Karachay majority or mixed Karachay-Russian population were blocked by the police and OMON. By Derev's order, more than 60 polling stations were closed in Cherkessk, although later, through the efforts of the CEC, voting began in most of them. Semyonov received 75.5% of the vote, with about 18.6% for Derev. After the second round, Derev's supporters organized a rally in the center of Cherkessk, demanding the annulling of the falsified election results.Elections of the head of Karachay-Cherkessia: from political confrontation to interethnic conflict, "International Institute for Humanitarian and Political Studies" On May 19, after negotiations in Moscow, Derev stated that he was demanding either the cancellation of the election results, or the secession of Cherkessia. At the same time, he applied to the Supreme Court of Russia and the Central Election Commission with a request to cancel the results of the second round. On May 24, after the visit of the Prime Minister of Russia Sergey Stepashin to Cherkessk, the head of Karachay-Cherkessia Vladimir Khubiyev resigned. Igor Ivanov, chairman of the People's Assembly of Karachay-Cherkessia, was appointed as the interim head of the region. In July, the Supreme Court of the KChR recognized the results of the elections; later, this decision was overturned by the Supreme Court of Russia. In late August 1999, the republican court reaffirmed the results of the vote on May 16. On September 14, Semyonov took office as head of the republic, which marked the end of the conflict.Karachay-Cherkess Republic: Chronicle of confrontation, "International Institute for Humanitarian and Political Studies" Sverdlovsk Oblast Eduard Rossel Transformation of Ural 542257 813373 Alexander Burkov Workers' Movement for Social Guarantees "May" 256916 364301 Arkady Chernetsky Our Home — Our City 216738 Vladimir Kadochnikov Communist Party 134607 Igor Kovpak Independent 122948 Irina Belkova Independent 15401 Andrey Selivanov Right Cause 8628 Union of Right Forces Against all 67260 87862 IKSOElection of the Governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast on 28 August 1999, Bulletin of territorial election commissions of Sverdlovsk OblastRe-voting on election of the Governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast on 12 September 1999, Bulletin of territorial election commissions of Sverdlovsk Oblast Moscow City 1999 Moscow mayoral election In June 1999 the Moscow City Duma decided to move the 2000 mayoral election six months ahead of schedule.
