Plebiscite Election Russia Crimea 2020
illegitimate
In order to have a possibility to stay in power until 2036, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided, in January 2020, to change the Constitution of the Russian Federation and legitimise its change through the “all-Russian voting”. The overwhelming majority of the world’s nations does not recognise Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Autonomous Republic of Crimea in 2014 and international institutions such as the OSCE ODIHR consider Russian elections held in Crimea as illegitimate.
Parliamentary Election Russia 2021
legitimate
The 8th parliamentary election in Russia was held from 17 to 19 September 2021. With the exception of the election in Russia-annexed Crimea, this election is considered legitimate.

С удовлетворением отмечаю, что организация - на высшем уровне... Я бы сказал, что вам есть чему научить даже западные страны. <…> Отдельно я бы хотел отметить те меры, которые были приняты для обеспечения участия лиц с ограниченной подвижностью: были использованы меры для голосования на дому и средства, которые позволяли непосредственно поучаствовать в голосовании на избирательном участке. Я считаю, это тоже то, чему мы могли бы поучиться
