Several Russian opposition figures have vowed to put up a fight against President Vladimir Putin as he seeks yet another term in office.
Thousands of people have been queuing across Russia to give their support to the liberal politician, Boris Nadezhdin in his bid to oust Vladimir Putin and become the next Russian President.
To stand as a candidate in the election on March 17th, Nadezhdin needs 100 thousand signatures from voters across the country.
Call me an idiot, but I believe in him. He is accepted to start collecting signatures unlike the other candidate Duntsova, he has never been shown or mentioned on TV (even when they described all candidates) yet he got 150k+ signatures, his first goals are ceasefire and freeing political prisoners, he is saying directly the transfer of power would be peaceful to calm both the army and the oligarchs. Unlike other fake candidates who don’t even pretend, he seems like a real thing. There’s a lot of his interviews on youtube where he shows more cognitive abilities than average tool in the government.
I know that Kremlin have easy ways to fix the numbers by internet voting, but I and many others would vote for him just to show them how unpopular the war is. It doesn’t require much effort and I don’t see it as a solution, but if I can do it, why not? I don’t lose anything.
And if he, by magic, wins, calling for a ceasefire and starting to talk would make him my favorite president of that broken land.
