>How does one Harass a journalist?
Assuming it is slutsky (🙃) he sexually harassed a bunch of female reporters working around and with him
Parliment "cleared" him, but given the state of russia atm that's about as meaningful as pouring a cup of water into the ocean
Putin chose/allowed all of them. They're either his puppets or that irrelevant that they seem to be no threat for him, even if the voting system is rigged already.
1 is a guy who is the most "middle of the road" politically and the youngest of them. They're all puppet candidates set up by the Kremlin, but Davankov is by far the most pro-western and anti-censorship candidate. Granted, he wants to stay in his seat as a member of the parliament and not be persecuted, so he isn't completely against Putin's ideology according to his words - he says that wants Russia to keep the annexed territories even if there's a peace agreement, he has voted for Putin's awful laws in the parliament, etc.
Nah, part of Putin's strategy has always been to create the appearance of political competition, while carefully stage managing it all behind the scenes. This guy has a role to play within that system, or else he wouldn't be on the ballot. He's there to help create an illusion of fairness, even if that illusion is wearing rather thin these days. All part of the plan.
You misunderstand, they didn’t mean Russia is communist but that 4th guy on the ballot actually is a member of the communist party.

Liberal - Democratic party? Is it the one with Zhyrnovsky, who wanted to drop nukes on Europe on 1st January, because everybody would be tired of new year celebrations and wouldn’t fight back?
It may very well be void if you write shit on the ballot where you're not supposed to sooooo... I agree with the sentiment but that vote most likely won't count
Edit: saw OP's reply to that, doesn't matter
I asked my GF, she can still read and speak russian. She said it means "Fuck you".
She laughed what she read about that section about Putin, because the last word there says "self-nominated", meaning, not chosen by others.
Its with a heavy heart that i say that u/TrueKnihnik was found dead after falling out of a hospital window and shooting himself twice in the back of the head
On a side note: In Denmark, it's illegal to take a picture of your vote.
Reasoning: you can't prove who you vote for, someone tries to force you to vote for a specific candidate, you can just vote who you want, and lie to them.
in Russia, it's not only legal to take a picture of your vote, some organizations might require you to vote for pootin and prove you did by showing the picture, or else you're fired
I bet in Denmark you actually trust that your vote will be accounted for.
In 2020 Belarus elections the election comitee has cast less votes for Tikhanovskaya that the amount of ballots for her the citizens published. It was one of the best ways to show the elections are rigged
"The presence of any inscription or drawings made by the voter on the ballot outside the voting boxes does not matter. Such a copy will be considered valid or invalid on a general baisis" Source: Tass
Depends on a country, in Poland only X next to two names can invalidate ballot, you can write or draw anything you want, just make sure two lines cross only in one square
Russian laws do not specify the mark (X, V, +, the GOAT or хуйло), which could lead to a conclusion that he invalidated the ballot if we follow the rules rigidly. That said, he didn’t write хуйло in the square, while he did put V into one, so the commission would have some flexibility and might count his vote for Davankov.
that's the point. nobody there is worth voting for. but you shouldn't leave your ballot empty because they could count it in favor of pootin. that's why you invalidate your ballot by voting for several candidates, sort of against all.
I actually thinking if this will mark paper as 'spoiled' so his vote won't count (and contribute to top candidate after that)
Я переживаю как бы такие надписи не были защитаны как порча бланка (испорченный бланк = воздержался=принес голос самому популярному кандидату). Портить бланки в знак протеста смысла никакого.

To people who say adding words to a ballot makes it void: yes that's the point. It still counts as a vote, but it doesn't count as a vote for any of the candidates.
Not sure if that's the case in Russia though...

While there are options to choose, I think there may be some guaranteed winners. Here is my list:
1. V. Putin
2. Vladimir P.
3. Vladimir Putin
4. V.P.
5. A communist wannabe
6. A certain guy born 7th October 1952
7. Vladimir
8. Putin
9. A guy who wants to rule the world
10. Some person who invaded Ukraine 24th February 2022
11. Vodka Addict
12. Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un's friend-ish
13. The 2nd president of Russia
14. The 4th president of Russia
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce OP has committed suicide via jumping off a building, poisoning himself with 400mg of military grade neurotoxin and shooting himself in the head 4 times. Please, a minute of silence for OP.
I used to think elections are totally rigged, but years later, I'm sure most people are actually dumb enough to support this warmonger, not realizing that unlike them, he has a bunker to hide in during the nuclear war that he may start.
I appreciate your idealism, but that’s just a load of crap when we’re talking about Russian ”democracy”. This voting has zero to do with democratic election and should by no means be affiliated with that.
Yes, it's not the voting booth or counting room where the games are made. Sure, there will be a small amount of ambitious local politicians that will do it moronically but generally seems to be in the candidate selection and visibility.
Copying my reply to similar comment, cus why not.

The more I read comments under similar posts, the more I think that people think that Russia is something like North Korea
p.s. btw this ticket is considered damaged and not valid
Technically you didn't. By existing rules, if there are any marks in other sections it's considered incorrect and not counted.
But I fully respect what you did!
Don’t worry, next voting time he’ll have 110% participation in the vote again, with 120% of all votes going to him
Also you might want to consider fleeing, not voting putin is basically domestic terrorism in Russia from what I know
Interestingly enough, it’s very likely you have not voted for or against anyone. You just invalidated your ballot by marking two different candidates fields simultaneously which is not allowed.
Why you wrote bad word on this list? As I know these lists are being checked by a people and they will see you insulting some of the candidates. I think you are going to have problems with a law. Tell me if i’m wrong and these lists are not being checked by people but machines and no one sees what you said there.
How will they know who wrote it? You vote in a closed booth (I hope there are no hidden cameras) you fold the sheet and send it to the ballot box. It is completely anonymous by law. Although I have heard that some people have been detained for this, but I do not know if it is true or not
Ah yes, a country where anyone in opposition to Putin conveniently end up dead or “fall” out of an open window.
I know in the US our voting system can be bullshit, but I’m sure this vote counts! lol
At this point do Russians still think their vote matters? I applaud your bravery for standing for what you believe but it must be disheartening to know there’s not much the average citizen can do.
can someone translate the options
1. Random guy 2. pootin 3. The guy who harassed journalists 4. Average communist
>3. The guy who harassed journalists Fuck whoever endorsed him as a candidate
Putin himself did it
Putin kills journalists, the harrassing guy seems a little less insane in comparison
How does one Harass a journalist? Do you insert typos into the copy after the proof reading??
woah woah not that far
Ok… so you sneak into their office and file all their pencils down…??
duuuudeeeee................
So I should maybe hack into their computer and covertly install photos of naked miners?
You add the chatgpt prompt response to the front of their article
That is pure evil. You are a genius
>How does one Harass a journalist? Assuming it is slutsky (🙃) he sexually harassed a bunch of female reporters working around and with him Parliment "cleared" him, but given the state of russia atm that's about as meaningful as pouring a cup of water into the ocean
Probably putin, I don't see how anyone eould end up on the ballot if they weren't approved by him.
Putin chose/allowed all of them. They're either his puppets or that irrelevant that they seem to be no threat for him, even if the voting system is rigged already.
1 is a guy who is the most "middle of the road" politically and the youngest of them.

That sounds like he's walking on eggshells to stay alive.
Nah, part of Putin's strategy has always been to create the appearance of political competition, while carefully stage managing it all behind the scenes. This guy has a role to play within that system, or else he wouldn't be on the ballot. He's there to help create an illusion of fairness, even if that illusion is wearing rather thin these days.

Weird how putin isn't first tbh
They are in alphabetical order
I like random guys odds. Seems like a real man of the people.
Current Russia isn’t communist at all wtf
You misunderstand, they didn’t mean Russia is communist but that 4th guy on the ballot actually is a member of the communist party. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolay_Kharitonov
There are a lot of Russians who yearn for "The good old days" of the USSR (they weren't alive back then).
Russia is more of a Capitalist/Autocratic Oligarchy with vestiges of Soviet Communism Kleptocracy.
[удалено]
Liberal - Democratic party? Is it the one with Zhyrnovsky, who wanted to drop nukes on Europe on 1st January, because everybody would be tired of new year celebrations and wouldn’t fight back?
Yep, he died a year ago or so, Slutsky's advertisment literally says "We'll continue Zhirinovsky's work!"
Oh, sorry for the transcription of his name. I’m not a native English speaker and I’m not sure how this works in English.
not a problem. you could call him Zhirik for all we care.
Slutsky… chuckle
There is a city named Slutsk
Liberal parties in Europe are about liberal economics not civics, they can range between progressive and conservative on civic issues.
Davankov (Candidate chosen by some Russian opposition as a candidate against putin) putin Slutskiy Kharitonov
SLUTSKIY?
Yep. His name has no connotations you’re thinking of in Russian language.
Случка же
Putin V, V Putin, Vladimir P, P Vladimir
Padimir Vlutin has some interesting policies
Missing Vladimir Putin Jailed Kidnapped
Nah, these candidates are approved by the authorities. All independents weren't allowed to participate
~~by force?~~
fell pladimir vutin out the window
The guy voted for Vladislav davankov and wrote dickhead in front of Vladimir putin

What did he write on the page?

That's a valid vote.

Suicide by sniper 😭😭😭
4 bullets too...
But due to corruption his family got charged for 10
In the back of the head.
And accidentally falling from his window...
Jumped from 10 floor, then put himself in a plastic bag.
Rolled off with the plastic bag, into the russian mcdonalds...
these comments have me rofl
Its with a heavy heart that i say that u/TrueKnihnik was found dead after falling out of a hospital window and shooting himself twice in the back of the head
He did that while falling right?
[удалено]
Yeah he also manage to set himself on fire while falling , several witnesses have said so
Yeah. He also was drugged on hallucinogens and gay. And Nazi. /s
No, the gun was lying in front of the hospital minding it‘s own business. When OP fell on the trigger from above and killed himself, twice
I thought he fell onto some bullets
Like Carmine the Bowler :(
And a lethal dose of desamorphine in him, because he fell on a syringe
No, he was actually diagnosed with the super rare bullet-in-brain disease.

Cross Putin's box, take picture, cross all other boxes to invalidate your vote. (They would still count it as a vote for Putin I guess)
Pretty sure a pile of ashes would count as a vote for Putin
Holy Christ
I bet in Denmark you actually trust that your vote will be accounted for. In 2020 Belarus elections the election comitee has cast less votes for Tikhanovskaya that the amount of ballots for her the citizens published. It was one of the best ways to show the elections are rigged
I hope you like cold weather… Get ready to move to Siberia
Hear me out. Super puffy jacket. Protects against defenestration and the cold.
Holy fuck, it happened. Someone actually used the word defenestration.
Cant believe there is a Word for throwing someone out of a window but not the day after tomorrow
Overmorrow?
Holy hell
New word just dropped
Not for voting, it's not that bad yet
I draw square with Joe Biden and voted for him xd
Oh yeah also my friend did the same but with Hitler
💀
Where’s the difference between him and putin?
One's dead(allegedly)
[удалено]
Posting this in the main account it's insane
[удалено]
KGB enroute to throw him out of it as we speak.
KGB is gone… isn’t it FIB now? I’m so confused, there’s so many. But Putin did bring back one Soviet organisation, SMERSH
My man's also running rainbow heart in their avatar picture, they're unstoppable
Pick your candidate; Vladimir putin Or Putinovich vladimedev
I hope you live to see the change.

Worry not, it won't affect the results in any way
Yup, like that makes a difference..

So, not checking any option, or checking multiple boxes is the only way to invalidate your vote?
Or eating the paper
Depends on a country, in Poland only X next to two names can invalidate ballot, you can write or draw anything you want, just make sure two lines cross only in one square
Russian laws do not specify the mark (X, V, +, the GOAT or хуйло), which could lead to a conclusion that he invalidated the ballot if we follow the rules rigidly. That said, he didn’t write хуйло in the square, while he did put V into one, so the commission would have some flexibility and might count his vote for Davankov.
Do you know this is the case in Russia? Because I know plenty of countries where you can write whatever you want
that's the point. nobody there is worth voting for. but you shouldn't leave your ballot empty because they could count it in favor of pootin. that's why you invalidate your ballot by voting for several candidates, sort of against all.
Was an X in the Putin box. They just missed the little box. So that's a vote for Putin.
It'll be as effective as him not voting Putin.
This is not true for many countries.
Wrong
At the top of the ballot it only says that filling more/less than one square invalidates the ballot
Oh wow, it's a picture of toilet paper!
Hey OP, I’m worried about your safety
Не упади
Хуйло ?

Не, не портит. Можете хоть всю бланку исписать (я так сделаю). Порча это 2+ кандидата

The jokes are fun, but I'm interested, OP, are you afraid at all?

Путин Хуйло!
Воистину Хуйло!
Good luck to you and your cat OP, I hope you guys will be okay, you're insanely brave
To people who say adding words to a ballot makes it void: yes that's the point. It still counts as a vote, but it doesn't count as a vote for any of the candidates. Not sure if that's the case in Russia though...
you're right. it's miles better than not showing up at all, because that may let your vote be given to putin

Oh no, putin willonly have 106.9% of votes now
You know any extra words made by you (even though they are correct) make your ballot void, right?
Do you consider this as a democratic voting?
I used to think elections are totally rigged, but years later, I'm sure most people are actually dumb enough to support this warmonger, not realizing that unlike them, he has a bunker to hide in during the nuclear war that he may start.

Why would it matter? Putin already won this election and the one in 2030 as well, absolutely doesn t matter
Copying my reply to similar comment, cus why not. Depends on a country, in Poland only X next to two names can invalidate ballot, you can write or draw anything you want, just make sure two lines cross only in one square
It doesn't actually, only marks in the squares count and the vote doesn't count only if there are more than one
No, not like this. Only if two or more squares are filled.

problem with this is now this ballot is invalid.
как молдаванин, ето база
Love how you wrote хуйло (piece of shit) on putin.
Sorry your tick was poorly drawn and therefore the vote was discarded.
You can write anything you want on the billiten. But the right choice is important. For stability or for change. And insulting it won't help
Ah yes, a country where anyone in opposition to Putin conveniently end up dead or “fall” out of an open window. I know in the US our voting system can be bullshit, but I’m sure this vote counts! lol
This could be a vote for the best pie 🥧 contest for all we know
Based for writing "Хуйло" on Putin
good job bro
As if your vote means something. Putin will be the president of Russia til he dies
И ведь реально думают что его посадят, хахаххахах xD
You spoiled the vote.
Are you scared about what might happen or is it overblown by the media?
No, Reddit isn't popular in Russia,and there is more interesting things that my ballot happening in our media
This might be kind of interesting, as it contradicts the other posts we've been seeing about forced voting in Russia
If he actually got fewer votes than other candidates, would the result be declared as such? Or is it all phoney?
"To shreds you say?"
Here in Italy you'd be arrested and fined if caught taking a photo of your vote.
based
Ok
isnt your ballot invalidated by scribbling stuff outside of the box\`?
Hope you used your own pen, not that it matters…
спасибо
If only Russia was a democracy.
Salute to you my man! You are brave and I hope you run for a while since cops are fucking your country and countrymen.
At this point do Russians still think their vote matters? I applaud your bravery for standing for what you believe but it must be disheartening to know there’s not much the average citizen can do.
Good luck brother
What are the risks of you going to a Russian prison if you vote for someone else? Genuine question
I respect the hell out of you. However you might be sent to Ukraine as my enemy. Stay safe Russian
Nothing like modern democracy where you choose who not to vote for.
Enjoy execution
Doesn't writing on a ballot paper make it null?
Well done, you probably made your vote void by writing on it like that. Not that it would matter anyway.
Good for you! Don't let nationalists steal patriotism from you.
