Boris Nadezhdin promised that if he won the elections, he would end the war. Therefore, he did not even have to become an official presidential candidate to become an election campaign sensation. It is not known whether he is a true liberal and pacifist, or whether he was perhaps a project of the Kremlin. The only certainty is that he gave Putin’s opponents hope. Rather deceptive.
There has been no normal political struggle in Russia for a long time. All serious opponents of the team currently ruling the Kremlin have emigrated, are in labor camps or are dead. After the invasion of Ukraine, Putin tightened the screw even more. The repressive apparatus is particularly ruthless towards those who criticize the war activities. For “spreading false information” about the deployment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, you can receive not only a fine, but also a prison sentence from 3 to even 15 years (depending on the scope and consequences of the “offense”). The use of the word “war” has repeatedly become a pretext for condemnation under the new regulations. Only the official term ‘special military operation’ is fully legal. Only Kremlin people and state propagandists are allowed to talk about ‘war’.
