Putin IS the president and he was never voted in. He was made acting president by Boris Yeltsin when he retired due to ill health (something Yeltsin later regretted)BrasSmonkey wrote: ↑December 11th, 2023, 5:59 pmit's a dictatorship. there is a president that has no powertacnet wrote: ↑December 11th, 2023, 11:03 amLOL your joking. Running for re-election against who ??????Jag wrote: ↑December 11th, 2023, 7:50 amI read on the news they announced a presidential election in early in 2024 if the Russian people are not happy with their current president they will elect some one else, that is how it works. We will see who they elect, if they elect Putin that tells you they are happy with the way he is leading their country.
The main opposition leader (Alexei Nevalny) has been locked up in prison for 19 years for trying to expose corruption in Putin's government. That was after Putin tried to poison him with Novichok (a chemical nerve agent) but when that failed, he declared the party an extremist organisation and had all the leaders thrown in jail.
Prior to that, another opposition leader (Boris Nemtsov) was shot dead just yards from the Kremlin the day before he was due to lead an anti-Putin March. Conveniently, all the Kremlin's CCTV cameras that would have filmed the incident were turned off that day for "maintenance"
Thats not to mention people like Alexander Litvinenko (poisoned with Polonium 210 - one of the most deadliest substances on the planet - after criticising Putin's regime), Boris Berezovsky (found hanged in his bathroom after publicly opposing Putin) and of course Prigozhin who we all wacthed when his plane fell out of the sky a few months back
Of course Putin is going to win. Anybody who tries to run against him ends up dead or in jail.![]()

he was voted in!
Since then Putin has taken total control of Russian media and has jailed or killed ALL his opponents
