Several Russian opposition figures have vowed to put up a fight against President Vladimir Putin as he seeks yet another term in office.
Thousands of people have been queuing across Russia to give their support to the liberal politician, Boris Nadezhdin in his bid to oust Vladimir Putin and become the next Russian President.
To stand as a candidate in the election on March 17th, Nadezhdin needs 100 thousand signatures from voters across the country.
They are fake candidates who work for Putin. Every election Pootin does this charade.
This is to trick the international press into thinking that democracy exists in Russia.
It’s also to measure how large the dissent is, and to legitimise his win in the eyes of the russian people.
Navalny wasn’t a fake candidate
Must be why he’s not on the ballot and imprisoned instead.
Yes in Russian “democracy” there is opposition, but in a gulag after surviving being poisoned.
awww bummer. this makes sense though
