From the Russian-controlled media Lugansk Info, active in the occupied territories of Ukraine, this quote aimed to create an impression of transparent and democratic presidential elections held in Russia from March 15 to 17, 2024. The presence of international observers served to legitimize the elections held both in Russia and in the Ukrainian territories under Russian occupation.

In terms of the election process itself, a large number of voters are young people, we don’t have this in our homeland, young people are not so actively involved in the political life of the country. [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.
