"Putin won a new national referendum on support for the SVO. The real political meaning of the 2026 Duma elections" Moskovsky Komsomolets outlines the Kremlin's official line... even if it is based on a blatantly rigged vote https://t.co/dC1M7mvfJi 5.3K views · 34 likes · 5 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

Monday morning re-up: preliminary Duma results suggest not quite a record turnout, but increased rigging to validate the "Putin factor" with United Russia up almost 8%. Anyway, an ep with everything from elections and mobilisation to great power status... 6.2K views · 27 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
