Russian President Vladimir Putin can choose not to hold presidential elections next year because he will “obviously” win re-election, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said late Sunday.
I think at this moment, there could be protests even with a rigged election. Take away the election entirely and maybe it’s a lower chance of protests. No opposition to galvanize around, etc.
Kind of hard to be sarcastic when thinking about that
