Unofficial sources say “anti-war candidates will be barred.”
That’s Putin’s ticket out if Nadezhdin’s campaign gets strength. Or an “unfortunate accident” occurs.
Still, gotta admire a guy who knows he probably won’t win, but publically opposes Putin anyway.
Wake me up when he will commit suicide by shooting himself with 22 times in the back
Says a man who is about to slip in the shower and fall from his balcony.
Putin has to approve who can run against him anyway. He will just not approve his candidacy.
I wish “would-be opponent” luck.
1. add a candidate with an “alternative view” to the equasion
2. go on with election and results as usual
3. you now have a voluntary list of people for closer surveillance
He should avoid tea and windows
Ironic part, his candidacy was fully approved… and then he went rogue… and now the bureaucrat who approved him is in deep shit and demands him to be barred from elections.
This guy is a fake opposition candidate. His task is to present the valud arguments against Putin in the worst possible way, and be a ragdoll that is always humiliated in TV debates.
Putin only cares about Putin. This guy is, and always has been, a Putin puppet. This is simply an opinion poll of the public mood. If too many ordinary Russians want an end to this then Putin becomes a target for anyone powerful enough to end his reign. It’s about self preservation nothing more
I’m gonna miss this guy.
Yeah, but he also doesn’t want to return Donbass, Lugansk nor Crimea. So, what’s the essential difference?
Russian here.
From what we know, Nadezhdin, who has been involved in politics in Russia since 1999 and was well-known by the Kremlin, was viewed by the Kremlin as a loyal candidate who can push mind liberal rhetoric, let people vent off some steam and give some legitimacy to the elections – “look, we even have liberal candidates, people are free to choose whoever they want”.
What nobody expected was how popular he would get once the opposition leaders started to ask their followers to gather signatures for him, and people started queueing for hours leave their signatures for him. It’s essentially the only way left it Russia to have a legitimate anti-war protest, and people are showing up for it in massive numbers.
At the same time, his rhetoric got a lot more radical, going from “We need liberal economic reforms” to “I’m against the war and will stop it”. And now it’s a big problem for the Kremlin, which has to decide whether to let him run (and risk Belarus elections-2) or pull the plug and the signature verification stage and dissatisfy the people even more.
​
Whether he is planted by the Kremlin or not doesn’t really matter. He is anti-war, and that’s good enough.
he will probably die because of this, but he will die for loving his country, unlike Putin who destroys his country thinking he loves it, while actually only loving himself!
In tomorrow’s news: “after self-defenestration there are no more Putin’s would be opponents”
Best of luck to him. Russia could have peace, freedom, and prosperity if the people just demand it.
He’ll get the window treatment before June.
So you choose dead…
he is nobody
Why people think that he is better? He wants to freeze war – not to GTFO from our lands.
Russia with a normal leader and returning the world to a little bit of stability would be great.
Mr. Boris? Handpicked by Putin to be his political opponent. Because Russia is a real democratic country. Suuuuure.
Oh, please, our government will just disappear this fella eventually, so he is either a goner or works with them, meaning that he is not, in fact, would be an opponent. Its, like less then a month since the last one anti-war politic attempted to do literally something, she is already nowhere to be heard as far as i know.
Hope he knows to always stay on the ground floor.
That’s illegal. Discreditation of the ruzzian army. All for show.
This dudes gonna get defenestrated.
Soon to be landing head-first on a sidewald near you.
Seriously–if I was this guy I would never go above the second floor.
But, does he like polonium ?
In before he some how falls out a 5 story window
He is a “steam venting” candidate with marginal support, a convenient tool, approved by the government to make Putin’s win look legitimate.
Plays the role if “typical opposition idiot” on all political talk shows.
Dead man walking.
He better stay away from tall buildings
Can someone break it down for me how the Russian people are so passive when it comes to their leaders? Do they just live as if they are “going through the motions”?
Then again here in America we have a cult of Trump who are prepared to effectively put an end to America in every good sense.
So what’s the over/under on his life expectancy?
Read the article, genuinely seems like a really good guy and the circumstances of which he’s come into play suggest it might not be opposed opposition.
Very hard to have hope in these sorts of situations but he seems rather level headed and experienced from first impression, wishing him all the best if he’s doing this for real.
I thinkbhe might be a Kremlin plant. Hear me out. Not a single of his statements so far support complete removal of russian troops to 1991 borders. He reiterates “referendums” option. The way I see it, I think he may be Kremlin’s way of trying to switch the narrative of the war and take control of the narrative. “Look, putin’s gone, we’re against the war now, but Ukraine won’t agree to our very reasonable demands” something like that.
He says that now and when the time comes his car/plane/helicopter/dronetransport/bicycle/monowheel/gokart/boat suddenly gets into a fatal crash or he disappears into siberia for soulsearching purposes. Indefinitely ofc.
Or the terrible Nazi Ukraine kills him. /s
Close your window!
This dudes going out a window.
Biden’s would-be opponent vows to end Ukraine war (immediately) too
Guess who’s gonna fall out of the window next!
This is the main reason why he gained popularity. Also have you seen videos of people waiting in the cold to sign for him? Nothing like this for putin, even though he needs signatures like any other candidate. No queues for enlistment either, but a lot queues to support candidate who promised to stop this insane war.
This guys gonna mysteriously wind up dead pretty soon
I mean putin already won with 101% of the votes so dont really matter
I know who will mysteriously fall out of a window soon.
