The Presidential Election in Russia: Review and Perspectives
BÖLL LUNCH DEBATE
On 4 March the Russians will choose a new president. Since independent Russian and international election observer missions have proved massive falsifications of the parliamentary election held in December 2011, the protests of the urban middle class who longs for an ending of Putin’s ’guided democracy’ have not stopped. Even in case of Putin’s victory in the first round of voting, which considering the blandness of his opponents should not be excluded, his third presidential term will carry the flaw of electoral fraud and bending of the constitution. Nikolay Petrov of the Carnegie Moscow Centre and Lilia Shibanova of the independent observer organisation GOLOS will report on the extent and effect of the election manipulations which have been observed so far on the political perspectives for Russia after the presidential elections.
