The anti-corruption fund, headed by the Russian opposition leader and prisoner of the Kremlin, Alexei Navalny, officially announced the "Russia without Putin" campaign's launch and called on Russian citizens to use the time before the elections to campaign against the dictator.
The Russian opposition raised a new challenge to Putin
For Putin, the 2024 election is a referendum on approval of his actions, on approval of the war. On March 17, Russia must realize that the majority does not want to see Putin at the head of the country, the Russian Anti-Corruption Foundation said in a statement.
Navalny's team also warned Russians that the results of the presidential election would be traditionally falsified.
Therefore, citizens of the Russian Federation must mobilize to prevent this from happening and expel the dictator from the Kremlin.
Our task is to make it obvious to everyone, even without them, that Russia no longer needs Putin. No one will do it for us. No one can do it better than us. ...on March 17, the day of voting, we call on everyone to come to the polling station and vote against Vladimir Putin, the statement states.
The anti-corruption fund considers it a "civic minimum" to convince at least ten people to vote against Putin.
In addition, they have already published instructions for campaigning against the dictator on their official website.
The Kremlin announced the date of the presidential elections in Russia
On December 7, it became officially known that the Russian presidential election would be held on March 17, 2024 — the Federation Council already supported this decision on December 7.
Ella Pamfilova, head of the Russian Central Election Commission, began to cynically complain that the presidential elections "for the first time in the history of the new Russia will take place in such a toxic geopolitical atmosphere".
Also, Putin's henchman convinces Russians that the election system of the aggressor country allegedly "has the margin of safety for the proper conduct of presidential elections".
In addition, it is reported that the Central Electoral Commission of Russia must decide by December 12 on the possibility of holding Russian presidential elections in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
