Elections.istra-da.ru

In 2020 a significant data collection incident occurred involving the Russian election information portal elections.istra-da.ru. The data was gathered through automated parsing techniques rather than a direct server breach. This collection resulted in a database containing approximately one million records related to candidates in various regional and national elections across the Russian Federation. The dataset includes personal identifiers and professional history related to political participation which allows for detailed profiling of individuals who have run for public office in Russia.
