Quote from Professor Gans-Morse
“We are talking about Russia, so surprises are always a possibility. But in all likelihood, the election will be a straightforward affair, with Putin winning easily. He is both genuinely popular and, at the same time, willing to use whatever means necessary to achieve his desired outcome. The only open-ended question is whether turnout will be as high as Putin hopes.”
