Russian presidential candidate Sobchak vows to fight for rights Ksenia Sobchak surprised Russians in October by declaring herself a candidate in the vote with the slogans "against them all", and "none of the above".A former reality TV star, Sobchak took part in Russia's 2012 anti-Putin protests before becoming a presenter on the independent TV Dozhd channel. In a press conference held at TASS, a state-owned news agency, Sobchak declared: "I hope that the support I'll get in this election will allow me to continue my political activity, to form a movement, to stay in politics, and six years from now, to have a serious political force that would help me run in the next election."
