Ilya Varlamov, a notable photo blogger, participant of the Unknown Caucasus Project organized by Vestnik Kavkaza, is running for Omsk Mayor, Interfax reports.
Varlamov wrote on Live Journal on Tuesday night that the Citizen Mayor Organization Committee offered him to take part in the prime release of Omsk opposition.
The blogger called the idea absurd at first, because he visited Omsk only once in his live. He was born in Moscow and has business.
