"Russians Queue to Support Pro-Peace Challenger Boris Nadezhdin"

Boris Nadezhdin, a vocal opponent of the war in Ukraine, has gathered over 100,000 signatures to support his presidential candidacy in Russia's upcoming election, despite skepticism about his chances of being registered by the Central Election Commission. Various opposition figures, including Alexey Navalny's allies, have endorsed Nadezhdin, emphasizing the demand for a different candidate and a change in Russia's current course. Nadezhdin's anti-war message and his call for peace negotiations with Ukraine and the West are central to his campaign, but doubts remain about whether he will be allowed to join the race.
