Mr Putin remains the only candidate to be able to register as a candidate.
He doesn't even try to pretend anymore.

that insurrectionist trump so jelly rn
at least pull a Sisi and have some unknowns on the ballot.
The dragon laughs and whips his tail
Seems like Putin will get all 132% of the votes this time, since he will be the only one on the ballots.
Reporter: "Mr. Putin, how is it possible that you got 132% of the vote?"
Putin: "It is merely the byproduct of our superiour domestic mathematical sciences. The numbers are simply greater than the ones produced by foreign-made axioms. Do think of all of the great achievements our mathematicians have done over centuries, such as proving the Poincaré conjecture."
Reporter: (gasp) "Your ballot results were tabulated by Grigori Perelman?"
Putin: "No, we looked at his qualifications but we figured he was out of our reach, unfortunately. We had the results tabulated by some other weird mathematician with a massive case of cabin fever. We saved a lot of taxpayer money this way."
You see, only 39% of the population voted. 95% of the people who voted, voted for Putin. So if you extrapolate that out to the entire population, you get 37% + 95% = 132%. With math like that you can't lose!
In Soviet Russia, the election qualifies for you!
In America, voters choose president. In Soviet Russia, president chooses voters!
** Republicans vigorously taking notes ** 🤤
What a fucking coward.
it's not like he's not gonna rig the elections anyways
Ah yes, "elections" in Russia for "president." Coming soon to the US if Republicans get their way.
Cross the political candidate you wish to vote for: Putin [ ] Putin [ ]
I want to vote for Putin [ ]
I have no opinion [ ]
I prefer that upstart young firebrand, Mr. Nitup!
Typical. Next he'll float the hope that he's ready to negotiate.
Anyone notice how the news of Navalny disappearing just ... disappeared as well?
Oh there's still some stuff around. Seems like the Russian courts have cleared their schedules of all things Navalny. But, there isn't a lot. Gone Baby Gone.
Not that I want that to drop out of the media circuit but there's only so much to report on. How many different ways can you say a politician disappeared? Especially when the guy responsible is a dictator that simply won't answer any questions regarding the person at hand.
wow i am just utterly shocked
Meh I'm glad I'm not Russian but hey man, people be crazy over there
Maybe she forgot the semicolon. Jokes aside I hope her appeal gets approved.
There generally aren't happy endings for Russian leaders. So there's that.
Another glorious day in Russia, home to the one person filling out application forms perfectly.
