In total, a delegation of 500 will go to the US. From Russia there will be no less than 10 representatives.

These will be people who speak English and have professional political experience in international observance.

Experts believe that the OSCE creates an extensive delegation and tries to balance its approach to US' and Russia's involvement in observance.

Given constant pressure on Russia, this news acquires a political significance. The invitation evidences respect and recognition of the Russian observers' professionalism as well as political role of the Russian system in international observance.

The Russian observers will attend the US elections for the first time in a long period.

As Pravda.Ru reported, in 2012 Greg Abbott, attorney general of Texas, threatened to arrest the OSCE observers, who would watch presidential elections in the country.

The Washington Examiner also published an investigation, where it revealed drastic faults while counting the votes.

'24 million voters of the US, that is every 8^th, are registered with violation,' Pew Center on the States used to claim, adding that 51 million US citizens are not registered at all.

These are the US democracy, primaries, and elections...
