Hey CIA… any interest in some karma driven vote manipulation? A few messed up voting machines here, some insidious VK ads there…
Nadezhdin is a regular on Russian talk shows. His job is to portray the lone anti-war voice amongst a line up of rabidly extreme genocide advocates. He makes his apparently reasonable points, only to be savaged as a traitor, a fool and a stooge by all the other guests and the presenter. This is a more effective method of state propaganda than simply censoring anti-war voices.
So it’s difficult not to see him as another fake opposition figure, designed to give Russia’s pretend democracy an illusion of plurality.
He needs to stay away from windows. And stairs. And cars. And planes.
Well done comarade, thank you for voting, now put your vote in the garbage bin right here. Thank you. NEXT !
…..do people think Putin wouod just step aside?
Damn companies will make a haul with all the extra windows being requested
It doesn’t matter, Putin will get 108% of the vote.
Putin knows he has dug himself his own grave and no way out, alive, in the long run. He let’s this guy win and retires, the other guy takes the blunt of hate for the economy being fucked and international reparations. Meanwhile, Putin boats around in his yacht. A non-zero sum win.
A dreamer can dream. Lol.
Oh, you didn’t vote for masa putin… please put ur vote with ur credentials in this box so we can count it. In reality, it’s a military volunteer program
Wonder how long until the opponent trips and falls out of a window.
This could drop Putins vote share as low as 110%.
I hope all the events are in 1 level buildings with no stairs.
“queue of Russians has mysterious window-related accident”
Russians drop off their registration for the front lines. /s
and a whole bunch of them are about to fall out windows
It’s not who votes, it’s who counts the votes that matters-
DJT
This could be an attempt to legitimize war by having an anti-war president lose the election. Because we all know the result already.
How long til he has a freak accident and dies?
Hopefully him and Putin don’t meet in a dark alley that just so happens to be by a 6th story window.
This is a ploy to identify Russians who are against the war and weaponize voting. Much like how Putin has shipped off dissidents, prisoners, etc to die in Ukraine, this is another move to eliminate opponents.
A few hundred even thousand isn’t going to make a difference
sadly it doesn’t really matter where the votes actually go given that the votes likely just get dumped into a furnace immediately after
Hope they’re not queuing up on the top floor of a building near any windows
Maybe this is how the Kremlin selects the next wave of conscripts…
It’s always amusing seeing Russian citizens playing the pretend “my paper vote actually matters” game.
Those antiwar “ballots” will turn out to be army enlistments
Where do I go sign up to support Nadezhdin?
Totally not sketchy man: In that building. Go to 7th floor…
You can treat Nadezhdin as you like, but he speaks to a wide audience, from television screens, about the harm of war, about the real problems of Russia, he says everything for which people without the status of presidential candidates are put in prison. I have no doubt that even if he is allowed to participate in the elections, Putin will still win, but as we say in Russia, “the word is not a sparrow, if it flies out, you won’t catch it.”

I hope you like Polonium.
