The quote is taken from the Russian media Volga News. This statement was used to relativise any criticism of the 2024 Russian presidential elections from mainstream Western media. Instead, it created a narrative of a fair and democratic process. The participation of international observers was intended to lend credibility to the electoral process, encompassing both Russian territory and the Ukrainian regions occupied by Russia.

Among the international observers and experts who arrived in the Samara region are observer [...] Mayelin Raquel Arias, former Minister of Agriculture of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. [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.
