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.

Taken from Russian media Argumenty i Facty, this quote aimed to portray the Russian presidential elections held from March 15 to 17, 2024, as democratic and festive for the population. The presence of international observers served to validate the elections conducted both within Russia and in the Ukrainian territories under Russian occupational control.

I had the opportunity to talk to some people who came to vote, and I don’t have the feeling that they were forced to vote or that they were voting under compulsion, in contrast to what they say in our countries. [...] I don’t want to make any final conclusions yet, because the end of voting is far away, and that would not be honest and I want to be honest. But everything I see here is clearly not what they tell us in the West. [Translated from Russian]
