Do you think the offensive of the Russian Volunteer Corps on Belgorod and Kursk and the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strikes on oil refineries will affect the elections in Russia?
The result- no, because they are not real elections.
But the attacks are still very embarrassing to putin, as are the strikes on petrochemical sites, which take more than a few days to repair.
I’ve never really understood the Russian fascination with having elections, when they control who is on the ballot, they then still cheat, etc etc. seems a strange psychological need to be like the west.
The "election" doesn't seem to be all that popular. Shown here, a disaffected voter pours green ink into a ballot box. This happened in other places around Russia. I found another pic yesterday of armed soldiers in voting places, but it seems to have been taken down today.
In the article where I found this pic, I saw mention of people "voting remotely". Gosh! An open door for voter fraud? Nah. Couldn't be!
As a resident of Russia, I can tell you this. I don't believe in elections. In general, it seems to me that it is high time to declare a monarchy and without any rigging we will have a legal tsar, this is the same in fact.
