      Current polling of those intending to vote

      https://kprf.ru/activity/elections/223825.html

      Putin: 63-65% (low for him, 80% would be typical), most of the remaining should go to KPRF

      Slutsky (nationalist/LDPR): 3-4% (usually compared to KPRF, only managed to get support from 1/3rd of his base)

      Kharitonov (communist): “confidently ahead of Slutsky” and from the above post the sentiment is the same as in 1996 where Zyuganov won 32.49% in the first round . The percentage left when you subtract the other candidates from 100 is ~26%. So I would assume close to 20%.

      Boris Nadezhdin (pro-west): 6-7%

      Davankov: less than 1%

        Hopefully the kprf performs well and can improve things in Russia while also building a platform for growth in future elections. Would be very nice to see United Russia’s hold on electoral politics slip away.

          So long as it’s not a “pro-west” party, agreed.

    I did some «doomerist» post today, when I cry why Russia is far-right and reactionary, and here I see some great news! I’ll drink some good tea for that.
