"Russian Election Authority Challenges Antiwar Candidate's Presidential Bid"

Russian electoral authorities are likely to bar the only remaining antiwar candidate, Boris Nadezhdin, from the presidential election, alleging irregularities in his attempt to register as a candidate. Nadezhdin, an antiwar physicist and politician, gathered 180,000 signatures but had over 15% rejected, exceeding the 5% limit for disqualification. This move signals the Kremlin's wariness of any avenue for Russians to express opposition to the increasingly unpopular war, further undermining the legitimacy of the election. Nadezhdin vows to fight back, but analysts and Kremlin critics believe his rejection is certain, reflecting Russia's shift to a repressive state where dissent is crushed and democratic standards are breached.
