The Central Election Commission removed some party candidates. This was due to breaking rules about the hammer and sickle picture.

A design company called 'Sovetskiy Shik' made the complaint. They owned the symbol for many products since nineteen ninety-nine.

An artist named Yevgeny Kamzolkin created the famous symbol in 1918. The company extended its protection using new digital symbol work.

The political party used the symbol for many years without permission. This caused 45 million rubles in financial and moral harm.

The head of the election commission spoke about this important case. She said the law must apply to everyone equally and fairly.
