"Security Forces Deployed as Russia Prepares for 2024 Presidential Election"
TL;DR Summary
Russia's 2024 presidential election is expected to solidify President Vladimir Putin's grip on power, with tight control over the political system and limited opposition. Voting will take place over three days, with online voting introduced for the first time. Putin faces token contenders from Kremlin-friendly parties, while most opposition figures are either imprisoned or exiled. The election is seen as a referendum on Putin's actions, particularly the war in Ukraine, and is unlikely to be free and fair, given past reports of forced voting and restrictions on free speech.
