After being excluded from the election in Russia: war critic Nadezhdin continues to fight. “I will appeal this decision within five days,” the war critic wrote on his Telegram channel.

The election commission only approved four candidates for the Russia election: Nikolai Kharitonov, Vladislav Davankov, Wladimir Putin and Leonid Slutsky. In addition to Vladimir Putin, who had the constitution changed specifically for his possible fifth term in office in 2020, three promising candidates are running.
