Fake election, real control: How the Kremlin fears its own people | Wider View from Brussels https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/003aa71d-169e-43b8-85e5-b37a57ccb023 Long before Russia’s parliamentary election race started, the winner was already known. It was hardly a race anyway: a three-day wartime election in Russia just confirmed the dominance of Putin’s ruling party, United Russia, with the real opposition barred from the ballot. The outcome could not be any different. But behind the official narrative, Putin has to face the growing public fatigue with the war. To discuss this matter, Wider View from Brussels’ host Grzegorz Nawrocki was joined by Roland Freudenstein, co-founder of the Brussels Freedom Hub, and Jarosław Ćwiek-Karpowicz, Associate Professor in Security Studies at the University of Warsaw. 🔴 Watch our 24/7 livestream - https://youtube.com/live/9RY46AUtIl4 Bringing you all the latest daily news and updates, TVP World is Poland's first English-language channel where you can find world news as seen from the Polish perspective and the latest news from the CEE region.
