The quote was from:

Here's another source: http://www.sovross.ru/2006/07/07_2_4.htm

I also heard it a few times in news reports on NTV in the form of interview
of people on the spot, not only their names were changed but also the names
of the streets. That was taking place at the polling place, i.e. during a
referendum or an election. What was interesting as part of that story is
that the translation was done by a computer.
