Russia: Vladimir Putin “wins” another election
Unsurprisingly, Vladimir Putin won the presidential elections in Russia with 87,28% of the vote on the last 17th of March 2024. This is his best result since he first came into power in 2000. But can we call it a real election if the legitimacy of the votes is not established? Is it really a free and democratic election if Vladimir Putin is the only serious candidate allowed to participate? Or is this process just a grotesque masquerade?
