Former head of Nadezhdin’s campaign headquarters Dmitry Kisiev said he was detained at a polling station in Serbia

“Well then, Serbian police detained me at the Russian embassy. Fun,” Kisiev wrote on his Telegram channel. At first, he did not give the reasons for the detention or any other details of what had happened.

Later, Kisiev said that “nothing bad happened.” “And it was a polling station at a Russian school, where there were a bunch of diplomats and police. Only afterward did I realize it wasn’t the Russian embassy,” the political strategist added.

Kisiev headed the campaign headquarters of politician Boris Nadezhdin, who ran for president in 2024. Russian authorities refused to register him at the time. In 2025, the political strategist said that he had been stripped of Russian citizenship, which he, a native of Crimea, had received after the annexation of the peninsula.
