I previously reported (literally yesterday) that the Kremlin intends to hold a so-called referendum on the annexation (or secession) of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine (after February 24, 2022).

Many journalists asked me about a specific date. So, the likely date for the so-called referendum is September 11, 2022 .

It is on September 11, 2022 that a single voting day will be held in the Russian Federation in election campaigns of various levels – the election of chairmen of the subjects of the federation ( elections of governors), elections of legislative bodies in the subjects of the federation (parliaments of the republics of the Russian Federation), elections of the administrative centers of the subjects of the Russian Federation. decided to expand the agenda before the elections and also hold a so-called referendum on the annexation of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as the temporarily occupied territories of Georgia – Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

The Kremlin expects to launch remote electronic voting as in 2021 the year when the elections of deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation were held in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
