Un cunoscut expert în sistemul electoral rusesc, arestat la Moscova, sub acuzația de „trafic de droguri”

Russian political analyst Aleksandr Kânev has been placed in pre-trial detention on drug trafficking charges shortly after the recent legislative elections. Kânev, previously labeled a "foreign agent," faces severe penalties and is known for his opposition to the government. He remained in Moscow despite the crackdown on dissent following the Ukraine invasion. His recent analyses criticized the ruling party's electoral performance. The elections, deemed undemocratic by the EU, were held in annexed Ukrainian territories, with only pro-Kremlin parties allowed to participate.
