They are fake candidates who work for Putin. Every election Pootin does this charade.

This is to trick the international press into thinking that democracy exists in Russia.

What’s that Putin wins by a landslide! AND his opponent died from multiple gun shots in a suicide !!!

Shocking

Putin is just collecting these voter’s names incase he needs to draft them into the meat grinder that is his war against Ukraine and eventually the world.

and in the end he is gonna fall of a window and lose by 900% to putin, they need to pull a french revolution shit there

"election’

Call me an idiot, but I believe in him. He is accepted to start collecting signatures unlike the other candidate Duntsova, he has never been shown or mentioned on TV (even when they described all candidates) yet he got 150k+ signatures, his first goals are ceasefire and freeing political prisoners, he is saying directly the transfer of power would be peaceful to calm both the army and the oligarchs. Unlike other fake candidates who don’t even pretend, he seems like a real thing. There’s a lot of his interviews on youtube where he shows more cognitive abilities than average tool in the government.

I know that Kremlin have easy ways to fix the numbers by internet voting, but I and many others would vote for him just to show them how unpopular the war is. It doesn’t require much effort and I don’t see it as a solution, but if I can do it, why not? I don’t lose anything.

And if he, by magic, wins, calling for a ceasefire and starting to talk would make him my favorite president of that broken land.

Too bad this guy is gonna have a heart attack or tragic fall next week.

Maybe they’ll do the classic double headshot ‘suicide’ thing. Or I mean, he will lol. Definitely not like anyone else will be taking the shot.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Thousands of people have been queuing across Russia to give their support to the liberal politician, Boris Nadezhdin in his bid to oust Vladimir Putin and become the next Russian President.

60-year-old Nadezhdin is largely unknown to the general public, although he has been active in national and regional politics since the early 1990s and has worked with various parties throughout his career.

This offers Russians who agree with him the opportunity to express their position legally and safely for the first time since the invasion, by standing in line and signing, which many have made use of:

Earlier this month, Nadezhdin spoke optimistically about his presidential bid arguing that his calls for peace were getting increasing traction and he has received donations from thousands of people.

In December, another Russian politician calling for peace in Ukraine lost her appeal against election officials’ refusal to accept her nomination for the presidential race.

Although they believe Putin will be declared the winner no matter how voters cast their ballots, they say they hope to undermine the widespread public support he enjoys, turn popular opinion against the conflict in Ukraine, and show those who oppose it already that they are not alone.

Too bad he’ll be suicided with a heart attack and multiple shots from the back while falling out a window.
