Au început alegerile parlamentare în Rusia. Scrutinul de trei zile este controlat strict de Kremlin

Voting began early Friday in Russia's Far East for crucial parliamentary elections, taking place amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. The ruling party, United Russia, is expected to secure a significant victory, with only pro-Kremlin parties allowed to participate. This marks the first parliamentary election since the invasion began in February 2022, which has resulted in substantial casualties. The elections will assess public support for the war, as the Kremlin maintains strict control over the political landscape. Critics of the war have been excluded from the electoral process, and the political environment remains heavily influenced by Putin's long-standing leadership.
