The March 15-17 presidential election was the most rigged in Russia's modern history, according to evidence published by election experts, observers, and media. Estimates of vote rigging range from at least 22 million votes to about 31.6 million votes, without taking into account the online voting and the election

Another sign of rigging is that 2024 election results peaked at round figures, Shukshin wrote. This distribution of results looks like a saw on graphs, which led to the nickname “Putin’s saw.”

    Probably because he was imprisoned. It’s hard to say what his results would have been, but a lot of experts said just by virtue of being the only opponent he could have beat Putin in a fair election.

      This community is very averse to facts, and those “experts” are very stupid. Propaganda is all you feed on

        Russian people tend to disagree with you on this one. At least those I’ve met and read the work of.

        A friend put it to me that ‘the death of navalny was so hard because he was the entire face of resistance. Now there isn’t anybody for the people to gather behind.’ (not verbatim at all).

        I agree that .world can be averse to truth, but I think you (and your instance) probably can be too
