Another sign of rigging is that 2024 election results peaked at round figures, Shukshin wrote. This distribution of results looks like a saw on graphs, which led to the nickname “Putin’s saw.”
No shit, he straight up murdered his only actual political rival.
Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome priest??
WDYM?
The guy polling at 6% was hardly a rival. Several other candidates polled higher.
Yeah imagine removing a rival that was only actually polling 6%, what a huge threat to your completely legitimate reign…
The 6 other candidates were polling way higher
You are building my case for me…
Too bad putler killed them all.
I’ll stop mocking you the minute your leaders stop killing each other.
Show deaths of other opponents to back up your claim
The polling numbers would be more meaningful if there were credible polls.
By credible you mean in your favor?
This is a very dumb comment. The only party who could actually compete with putin was the communist. Navalny didnt get 3%
This is a very dumb comment.
Proceeds to write a very dumb comment.
Hey, I appreciate the honesty.
Probably because he was imprisoned. It’s hard to say what his results would have been, but a lot of experts said just by virtue of being the only opponent he could have beat Putin in a fair election.
This community is very averse to facts, and those “experts” are very stupid. Propaganda is all you feed on
While they’re definitely wrong in ignoring the communist party’s value as a signal for disliking the regime/as a protest vote, you’re also feeding on propaganda if you think Navalny and his smart voting campaign weren’t a very large movement.
If Navalny wasn’t a threat to the regime, then Putin wouldn’t have hounded him for a decade.
Russian people tend to disagree with you on this one. At least those I’ve met and read the work of.
A friend put it to me that ‘the death of navalny was so hard because he was the entire face of resistance. Now there isn’t anybody for the people to gather behind.’ (not verbatim at all).
I agree that .world can be averse to truth, but I think you (and your instance) probably can be too
I dont think they disagree because thats what the elections result say, you can check for yourself
Quick, back to your propaganda booth 🥾👅
Guy got 87%.
You can’t get 87% of people to agree on pizza toppings for the nightThe sad thing is that of that bullshit 87% figure were still people who voted for him and far more than should have. There are way too many Putin sycophants in Russia. I realize it doesn’t help that the media is state-controlled, but it’s amazing what he can get away with and still be worshiped by a significant segment of the population.
I guess it’s not that much different from Trump.
(Assuming you’re American)
Lots of Americans seem to think that state media is a bad thing. Lot’s of countries get it right. Especially after it’s first been implemented.
I’d often rather have a government (obviously not Russia, China, or in my case Canada) over some oligarch controlling it. Murdoch hasn’t exactly been doing good things wherever he goes
