😨 At the recent elections in Russia, which took place on 18–20 September, the scale of fraud was unprecedented. The real support for the ruling party United Russia was no more than 15%, while the official result exceeded the record of 2021 and amounted to almost 60%. The authorities used traditional methods – stuffing unused ballots, voting with “dead souls,” and outright moving ballots into the desired piles.
🇷🇺 However, the Kremlin knows very well what United Russia’s real support is, and this is one reason why a decision for a large-scale wave of mobilization is unlikely to be approved – so as not to provoke local unrest. The protest potential in Russia has grown to the sky, but so far it cannot be realized due to a lack of leaders and the regime’s punitive machinery. Under these conditions the most realistic scenario for a change of power in Russia is a coup carried out by the elites.
💬 This opinion was expressed in an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA by the Russian oppositionist, designated a “foreign agent” in Russia, Olga Kurnosova.
