The cleaning lady won the mayoral election

A woman cleaning the office defeated a pro-Putin candidate in Russia's local elections for mayor.

Marina Edgodskaya, a woman who won the mayoral election in the local elections, was cleaning the office of a local authority in a village and she ran in the elections to meet the number of candidates in which she won by a landslide.

Marina Edgodskaya will now look after the affairs of a small district of 29 villages, 400 kilometers from Moscow.
