Russians queue to register election candidate opposed to Ukraine offensive • FRANCE 24 English

He is one of Putin’s rare opponents thousands of Russians from Moscow toin and have been lining up to support Boris nin’s bid ahead of the presidential election in March under Russian law Nadin must collect 100,000 signatures by the end of January to be allowed to run a liberal pro-western

Anti-war former member of parliament yandan is an exception in a country where almost all opponents to the invasion of Ukraine fled the country or been imprisoned the most important thing that’s happening now in our country is the conflict in Ukraine and nadz Jin seems to be someone who intends to

Resolve this conflict to stop this conflict I want to believe it I would like there to be some kind of alternative because everyone else has the same agenda this is an opportunity to send a message to the government in any case our signatures will be noticed I’m sure

Of it on Tuesday Nan’s website read that although he’d already gathered over 100,000 signatures he needed some 48,000 more to successfully register because he couldn’t submit more than 2,500 from each region even that will not guarantee his place on the ballot because electoral authorities routinely find reasons to disqualify candidates Vladimir Putin’s campaign

Team meanwhile claims to have already collected more than 2 million signatures okay such unanimous support from the people is very important for our candidate we’re together and we’ll win together so far three candidates have been approved for the ballot none of whom stand a realistic chance of winning against Putin

As Russia gears up for presidential elections, former liberal lawmaker Boris Nadezhdin has emerged as an unlikely candidate for “peace” ahead of the vote. Thousands of Russians across the country have been lining up to register his name to challenge President Vladimir Putin at the ballot box in March. Should he gain enough signatures to stand, he will be the only candidate opposed to the war in Ukraine.

  2. Only until kremlin can use him to pretend that elections in russia are legit. Once he becomes inconvenient, Russians will be shown what happens to those who oppose the dictator.

  10. He maybe just another pion of Putin…to present to the world that there's democracy in Russia….that Putin isn't an absolute tyrant and power …. behind the scenes…. Putin maybe encouraging even financing and secretly support his so called opponent and opposition….but…we all know about the end result of Russia's election…. Putin will be the next president of the great Russian Federation….right..?

  16. He is loved by west because he will serve western interests not the interests of Russians. West calls that democracy. Westerners kicked out president of Ukraine Yanukivic to put their puppets in charge even though he was elected
    I hope Russians are too smart to understand this. Of course nobody like war but west brought that war against Russia so they can take all russian resources

  25. If he has success as a candidate, Putin will have him assassinated or jailed for dissent or some other similar misdemeanour.

  32. 😺 the new guy can't will because he's wearing a glass he's not manly enough for the office according to the current standard of government 😹😹😹😹
