"Russian Election Chaos: Dye Protests, Incentives, and Online Voting Woes"

Several Russians poured dye into ballot boxes in protest against the presidential election, which is expected to extend Vladimir Putin's rule until at least 2030. Dissent has been effectively outlawed in Russia, and the opposition candidates face various obstacles. The protesters' actions have been met with arrests and allegations of organized provocation by the Russian government. The use of green dye in these protests is reminiscent of previous attacks on journalists and opposition figures, including the late Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny, whose widow has called for collective opposition to the "fake" election.
