Russia: Another Set of Predictable Elections (Natia Seskuria, RUSI)

October 6, 2021

While the outcome was hardly a surprise, the use of repressive measures and a myriad of electoral manipulation techniques may serve as a rehearsal for the 2024 presidential election, where Russian President Vladimir Putin is highly likely to bid for another presidential term.
