Wir beginnen mit der AMA um 12:00 Uhr EDT
Hallo alle miteinander! Mein Name ist Andrey Pertsev und ich bin ein russischer Journalist bei Meduza. Meine Arbeiten erscheinen auch in Carnegie Russia und Riddle. Ich bin vor allem dafür bekannt, dass ich über Quellen in der gesamten russischen Regierung verfüge und die politischen Machenschaften der Russischen Föderation verstehe. Ich komme aus Archangelsk, war aber in den meisten Regionen Russlands und kenne deren politische Strukturen gut.
Ab heute werden einige Russen für eine weitere Präsidentschaftswahl zur Wahl gehen. Andere, etwa in der von Russland besetzten Ukraine, werden von den Umfragen abhängig sein. Und obwohl das Ergebnis nicht wirklich zweifelhaft ist – Amtsinhaber Wladimir Putin wird voraussichtlich mit einem rekordverdächtigen Erdrutschsieg gewinnen –, gibt es immer noch viel zu besprechen, wenn es um die Machenschaften des Kremls, mögliche Proteste, die anderen vom Kreml genehmigten Kandidaten und die Kandidaten geht Der Kreml war damit nicht einverstanden.

What brand of sausage casing is Putin using as skin? Is it natural or synthetic? It looks nice and seems to handle overstuffing very well.
Was the Kremlin really not prepared for the amount of support Nadezhdin got or did it serve some other purpose?
I don’t understand why they let it spiral out of control that much. Isn’t the way they forced him to stop undermining the feeling of legitimacy this election is supposed to create?
Are young Russian men willing to die in the Ukraine mud forever?
How sincere is Medvedev with his commentaries, demands, and threats? Is he as unhinged as he appears to be or is he largely playing a role?
Why are you holding an election? Seems like a waste of money when the ballots are thrown in the fire and you go “Putin win 125% of the vote!!”
Other than the war, what things you think are the most influencial subjects in the elections?
Whats even the point of an election when there are no opponents?
I wish you health Andrey, you are a brave person!
HOWDY from Texas. The views of conservatives here are pretty favorable towards Russia or non interference. What are some thoughts/reasonings why conservatives should be pro Ukraine/Russia beyond the average talking points. If you can’t answer that or like to additionally answer what are parallels between US and Russian conservatives other than usual talking points like “traditional families” “god/moral”; do you think conservatives from both countries would get along?
Blink twice if you’re under duress.
What is Russia’s route to become a democratic country, free media, free elections, etc?
Russians be like: “wow, the gov is so helpful. They already filled out my election card for me”
As someone who’s been there for all this time, I have to ask:
In your opinion, what would it take for a majority of the people in Russia to say ‘enough is enough’ and rise up to topple the Putin government?
What do Russians actually believe the outcome will be of the current conflict? The majority of people in the western world are against Russia and leaders have stressed that they will not stop supporting Ukraine. Does that affect the populace’s opinions in any way?
How are you still free to operate in Russia? Is it to keep up the sham of media pluralism?
What percentage of votes do you predict that Evil Botoxed Dwarf will get in the election? 99%, 100%, 120%? Now with reports that all the dead soldiers posthumously will have the honor of voting for their dictator how much will he win by?
Since Russias illegal invasion of Ukraine, Russia (from an international view) is said to be silencing speech and dissent, this includes detaining protestors and journalists. Do you feel this statement is true and if so how are you adapting to such a stranglehold?
Not being rude, this is part of the AMA. But how can you consider yourself a journalist in Russia with how Russian government focuses on media?
How are you avoiding being conscripted into the war in Ukraine? Are Russian journalists exempt from military service?
So whats the final count?
Is Putin going to win with 70-80% of the vote or a more insane 90-95%?
What does an everyday Russian know about the conflict and about all the assassinations of oligarchs? What we see on Reddit makes Russia seem like a nightmarish hellscape and Putin and his inner circle like a death squad.
Why do they call it an election?
Why even have an “election” its not fooling any other countries into thinking its fair.
What do you believe will happen after the “election”?
When should we expect Putin’s rival to fall out of a window?
How come it takes 3 days when there’s only 1 candidate?
Why don’t journalists in Russia cover explosions and arson at polling stations? Or today double strike at Odesa civil infrastructure, where 16 people died, mostly rescuers. Are there no independent journalists left there? Why then be a journalist in Russia at all?
Let’s just say Putin “hypothetically” wins this “election” and is in power for another six years. He’s getting old. Who will replace him if he dies of complications of old age (such as heart, stroke, defenestration, etc).

are you and Kostya Gaaze ever doing another podcast? That’d be great
Is there any belief that the “unauthorised referendum” held in the Siberian regions of the Russian Federation will have a significant impact on the presidential election?
