00:00Three-day parliamentary and regional elections have begun in Russia, the first since the start
00:05of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
00:07For the Kremlin, this vote is about more than just the future of Parliament.
00:12Authorities aim to frame it as a show of public support for the war and for Vladimir Putin's
00:16policies.
00:17At the same time, for many voters, the war remains primarily a source of anxiety and
00:22uncertainty.
00:23People are concerned about how and when it will end, as well as its consequences, including
00:29rumors of a new mobilization.
00:49Analysts believe that the election outcome is a foregone conclusion and Putin's political
00:53dominance faces no immediate threat.
00:55The Kremlin views the vote as a key measure to mobilize public support
00:59for the so-called special military operation.
01:01The main question of the Russian political policy is about the war and the world.
01:07It is a way to move on.
01:10So, the question of people's ability to choose to choose.
01:13So, in the sense, it is a choice between the two and the two in different parts.
01:34Only parties that support Putin and the war have been allowed to participate
01:38in the federal elections.
01:40Yabloko, the only anti-war party still active in Russia, was barred from the elections amid a
01:46rapid rise in its popularity ratings.
01:48So, in the sense, it is a choice between the two and the two in different parts.
01:49So, the U.S.
01:50So, the U.S.
01:50So, the U.S.
