"Nadezhdin Gathers Sufficient Signatures to Challenge Putin for Presidency"

Boris Nadezhdin, an anti-war candidate, has submitted 105,000 signatures to challenge incumbent Vladimir Putin in Russia's March election. Despite not being expected to win, Nadezhdin's outspoken criticism of Russia's military operation in Ukraine has surprised analysts and is seen as a problem for Putin. Election officials will now check the signatures, and there is speculation that Nadezhdin may be barred from running.

"Anti-War Candidate Challenges Putin in Russian Presidential Election Bid"

Boris Nadezhdin, an anti-war candidate, has submitted 105,000 signatures, the maximum allowed by law, to run for the Russian presidency, potentially standing against Vladimir Putin in March. Nadezhdin's campaign, which openly opposes Russia's war in Ukraine, has garnered support from prominent opposition figures, but faces challenges from the exacting standards imposed by Russia's Central Election Commission. Despite the Kremlin's confidence in Putin's overwhelming support, Nadezhdin's candidacy reflects the anti-war sentiment in the country as the full-scale invasion of Ukraine nears its second anniversary.
