Russian Presidential Election Will Have Four Candidates — 14 Comments

  1. WHO CONTROLS THE RUSSIAN ELECTIONS OFFICE ???

    PUTINS’ SECRET POLICE CHIEF ???

    ALL SIGNERS OF NOT PUTIN PETITIONS ON HIT / PURGE LIST ???

  2. During the Soviet era, voters could effectively cast a “None of the Above” vote by crossing out the names of all the candidates (there would usually be just one) on each ballot line.

    Can voters in Russia still do that?

  3. Signatures are still being gathered for other parties and candidates. My over / under for the eventual total is 8.

  4. Ironically enough, that’s now actually happening, in America not Russia. President Putin is now the new leader of the free world. His awe inspiring, blessed, wonderful leadership will be held in the greatest honor and praise anyone has ever come close to winning. Hail Trump ! Hail victory ! Hail the new dawn!

  5. WHICH TYRANT HAS THE MOST SUPPORT AMONG BAN TROLL MORONS –

    TRUMP ???
    PUTIN ???
    XI ???
    BIDEN ???

    VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN IN LAWLESS TYRANT ELECTIONS

  6. Clearly your preferred candidate Beijing Biden and his master Xi, since you are the one and only BAN troll moron.

  7. Currently, the Nadezhdin campaign (nadezhdin2024 d0t ru) reports 21k and change signatures collected.

  8. I forgot to say, he is the candidate of the Civic Initiative Party.

    Bogdanov, of RPFJ, had at least 36k as of several days ago.

    Both of those being party candidates, they are going for the 100k threshold, not 300k as with independent candidates.

  9. Bogdanov reports at least 68k on telegram, so almost certainly will have sufficient number by deadline on 31st.

  10. Nadezhdin is now at 27k and change and picking up pace, so quite likely will make it as well.

    I’ve not seen progress reports on at least 6 other candidates still seeking signatures. My best guess is 2 of those will have a sufficient number, yielding 8 registered candidates at final tally.

  11. @MaxZ,

    How are signatures collected in Russia?

    Are they collected at shopping malls. Is Gostiny Dvor a good place to collect signatures? Is there a cursive version of Cyrillic? How are petitions and documents signed?

  12. Potpis ot ruki = signature. Yes, there is cursive Cyrillic as well. Everyone learns it in school, I think even now. Signatures are collected in many places. I’m afraid I don’t know what the best places to collect them are.

    In the meantime, Nadezhdin reports significant progress. See URL I mentioned above for his latest numbers.
