Taken from Russian media SPB Dnevnik, this quote aimed to provide endorsement to the Russian presidential elections held from March 15 to 17, 2024 as a well-organized democratic process. The presence of international observers served to legitimize the elections conducted both within Russia and in the Ukrainian territories under Russian occupational control.

I am surprised at this polling station. Excellently organized place. Even in France, not all polling stations have video recording, like here. In my opinion, this is a big step towards democracy. [Translated from Russian]

During the “presidential elections” held in Russia from 15-17 March 2024, Vladislav Davankov (“New People” party), Nikolay Kharitonov (Communist Party), Vladimir Putin, and Leonid Slutsky (Liberal-Democratic Party) competed for the presidency. Enabled to run yet again by controversial constitutional amendments effective 4 July 2020, Putin dominated the “elections” together with his controlled “opposition” excluding genuine opposition figures. These “elections” occurred under Putin’s regime control, both within Russia and illegally in occupied Ukrainian territories, including Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, ARC and Sevastopol.
