This story says Boris Nadezhdin is trying to obtain at least 100,000 valid signatures to be able to run for President of Russia in March. He is an independent who opposes the military action aginst Ukraine. The petition deadline is january 31.
There are already four candidates on the ballot.
Nadezhdin has a running count of his signatures on his website, which I mentioned in your comments on the last article you did about this. There is also significant progress reported on Baburin’s petitions, where he may be just working on validity margin at this point, or perhaps done entirely. The deadline is 31 January Gregorian.
Your article above has incorrect deadline. It is 31st, not 25th. Besides Nadezhdin and Baburin, there are 6 more candidates believed to be petitioning, but no progress reports in their petitions that I have seen.
Just out of honesty, is your sole interest in our presidential election your siding with the criminal coup regime in Kiev? You seemed to have inordinate interest in disqualified joke candidate Duntsova, who was one of 20 or 30 iirc disqualified candidates. Now you seem suddenly quite interested in Nadezhdin, whose candidacy you appeared to not notice before despite my repeat mentions of him and other candidates, because you learned of his criticism of military policy, and ignore other independents
And third party candidates.
Incidentally, Nadezhdin is technically a third party candidate, which is the 100k requirement, not an independent, the 300k requirement.
Also, I forgot Bogdanov, another third party candidate who is done or almost done with petitions. Baburin is also a third party candidate.
Sadly, my “favorite” candidate, Rada Russkikh, a true independent with the 300k requirement, has not reported progress anywhere I have noticed, and I have not come across her petitions while out and about. I’ve been hoping to sign for her, but I won’t go to the length of contacting her alleged campaign, so hopefully they (or perhaps it is just herself) are finding sufficient signers without my autograph, or maybe we’ll find each other yet.
Perhaps if the author read news sources from Russia, and not propaganda outlets from western colonised Kiev, Little Russia, the coverage of Russian elections here would contain fewer errors?
Even jokeapedia contains less erroneous data of election in Russia. Do you read North Korean media to cover the US election?
I thought they needed 300,000 signatures for this. Where did you get the 100,000 figure?
Independents need 300k, third party candidates (fourth party here, at the moment) need 100k. Discussed extensively on every past article here regarding our current year election.
I wish I was qualified to vote for President Putin, but I’m lucky enough to be qualified to vote in the caucus and general election for President Trump.
Smoke signals of the native nations carried the most accurate reports of the elections of the great paleface fathers.
@MaxZ,
On http://nadezhdin.ru there are a list of international cities. It seems somewhat random. For the US: Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Austin are listed. Any particular reason?
Also for Moscow three neighborhoods are listed, and then “mobile pickers” (Google translate). Are these circulators on the street?
Sorry, messed up the link

Little Russia is an anachronism. It’s been Ukraine for a while now.
As I understand it, they have petitions available in various locations, including for citizens abroad, of whom we have a fair number. They have both fixed locations for signing and people who will come to meet eligible signers who express interest, allegedly. They currently report 120k and change signatures collected and have a goal of 150k including the validity margin.
My guess is that those foreign cities are where they have people available who are willing to make themselves available for eligible signers. I doubt they have either the available resources or enough such eligible and interested signers to deploy petitioners strategically in specifically chosen foreign cities.
My prediction of 8 final candidates hasn’t changed. It seems it will be at least 7, with 4 already qualified and 3 with reported totals within reach of goal. 1 out of 5 of those whose running totals I have not seen is somewhat of a guess. I don’t think I’ll be far off at 8.
HOW SOON BEFORE ALL PUTIN OPPONENTS DISAPPEAR IN RUSSIA/ UKRAINE / RED CHINA/ ETC ???
HOW SOON BEFORE THE ONE AND ONLY TROLL MORON ON BAN, AZ, DISAPPEARS??? HOPEFULLY NOT LONG, SINCE HE’S OLDER THAN DIRT !!!
Baburin reports at least 105,000 collected at the 100k requirement.
Bogdanov has at least 90,000 in hand, as well.
The additional 50k Nadezhdin is seeking is due to 2500 maximum accepted per region.
Putin will win big, and so will Trump!
We are support.
Biden’s 250th trimester abortion makes a good point which I completely agree with.
KKK, 2500 is minimum, not maximum, I think.
Maximum, and minimum in 40/75 regions.
Nadezhdin website counter currently at 138k and change. In addition to the ones I mentioned yesterday, Malinkovich, also going for 100k, reports 80k collected. That would make my prognostication of 8 total final on the money, provides all the candidates currently reporting totals make it and none other.
Svirdova is the only one going for the 100k not showing progress reports.
Besides Putin, already verified with more than enough, Batashev and Russkikh are the only ones going for 300k. Neither has reported any progress anyplace I’ve noticed. Maximum candidates would be 11. My prediction remains 8.
Nadezhdin reports 158k collected and continues to accept signatures in 48 regions.
Per article in vedimosti.ru, Baburin had 112k as of yesterday; Malinkovich has 60k verified of 80k; Bogdanov has 52.5k verified of 90k.
We are all looking forward to a huge Putin victory, much as with Trump here in the states.
Russia has better ballot access and more honest vote counting than the U.S.
I wish I could vote for both Putin and Trump. Dual citizens of Russia and the US are lucky in this regard.
Being able to vote for Lukashenko as well is the triple crown!
Belarusian-Russian-American citizens are so lucky!
The propaganda in the US about Russia and its elections is pretty crazy. Our own elections nowadays are much more suspect.
Moscow, the Third Rome!
I am glad Russia allows such a fair and open ballot access process, despite the overwhelming popular support for President Putin and his policies.
We are all rooting for Putin across the oceans.
Six more years!
The people of Russia are lucky to have such an excellent president!
There is a ten day signature checking period.
The support for Putin is strong here!
I’d vote for him.
Mark me down as another vote for Putin, Lukashenko, and Trump!
Putin is even better than Trump!
It’s awe inspiring to see a country like Russia which conducts its elections correctly.
They’re a beacon of hope to those in countries like the US.
Nadezhdin has an update claiming over 183k signatures.
I think Putin has certainly earned another term in office.
It’s heart warming to see all the Putin love on this site.
Russian elections are the best elections.
