Chechen presidential contenders do not use free paper pages fully
Before the Chechen presidential election campaign started, the sortition of paper pages of republican periodicals granted to the contenders free of charge had been carried out at the Ministry for Press, TV and Radio Broadcasting. Two weeks prior to the election local media contributors establish the pages granted to the contenders are far from being used fully. According to deputy editor-in-chief of the "Vesti Respubliki" newspaper Khasa Gafurayev, the contenders Nikolay Paizullayev and Avkhad Khachukayev demonstrate the least activity in paper agitation.
