another anti-russia thread


doesn't that make people in the west feel good about themselves, continuing with the xenophobia against russia



oh well, Russia don't feel like an european country anymore, happy now, they are gonna become a Asian country soon (bringing Intervision Music Contest back, likely to apply for membership in Asia's football association (AFC) because of superb relations with China and also the middle east)

well even USA have rumours of a ''corrupt election'' honestly


the only few countries where i believe in fair and square results are the UK, Germany, Netherlands and Italy maybe and for sure Greece (otherwise Golden Dawn would've forced their supporters to get them in power, but they do have not enough control of their supporters, although they are a corrupt party in greece, who murder journalists with opposing views)



France idk, if Macron is that unpopular why does he remain in power if Le Pen has more popularity

any that are fighting to stop real Old Biden

A former TV journalist who announced she would challenge President Putin in Russia's spring election has been barred from standing.

Independent politician Yekaterina Duntsova wanted to run on a platform to end the war with Ukraine.

But the electoral commission voted unanimously to reject her candidacy three days after her application, citing 100 "mistakes" on her form.

Ms Duntsova said she would appeal the decision at the Supreme Court.

The presidential election, which will be held in March 2024, is Russia's first since President Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago.

The immediate slap-down of a Putin critic will be seen as evidence by some that no dissent will be tolerated in the campaign.

The head of Russia's electoral commission, Ella Pamfilova, said Ms Duntsova would not be allowed to progress to the next stage of gathering thousands of supporters' signatures.

"You are a young woman, you have everything ahead of you. Any minus can always be turned into a plus. Any experience is still an experience," she told Ms Duntsova, 40, after the decision.
