Putin’s election campaign is being stepped up in Russia: what are they afraid of in the Kremlin?

The Kremlin is actively intensifying its election campaign Vladimir Putin. In Russia there is a certain number of so-called “anti-war” Russians, of whom the Kremlin dictator is very afraid.

Therefore, Putin increased nuclear threats, elections of Boris Nadezhdin and pretends that he is supposedly “carrying out reforms.” This opinion 24 Channel was voiced by political scientist Alexey Koshel.

Putin intensifies rhetoric

Alexey Koshel noted that on the eve of the presidential “elections” in Russia, Putin has problems. Although everyone has long known that the so-called “election results” will be in his favor. However, the dictator is wary of the so-called “anti-war” Russians.

Putin has huge problems in the “elections”. There is a certain percentage of the “anti-war” electorate. They are not in favor of withdrawing troops from Ukraine and ending the war. They are for the fact that “we need to decide with whom and what we are fighting for.” Such soft “anti-war” rhetoric. There may be 15 – 20%. The Kremlin is afraid of this percentage,” he said.

Therefore, the Kremlin did not allow the so-called “oppositionist” Boris Nadezhdin, who would not become a leader, to participate in the elections. But when Putin saw the queues of Russians who wanted to sign for Nadezhdin, for his soft “anti-war” rhetoric, he got scared.

Also because of this, new nuclear threats are constantly appearing, news that Putin allegedly “flew a fighter jet,” and even stories about his “young lovers.” In this way they want to show that the dictator is supposedly still “young and will live forever.”

“They work to the fullest because they understand the problems in the elections. In particular, because for these problems, due to the fact that it is necessary to muffle this soft “anti-war” rhetoric, they are now increasing the level and emotionality of nuclear threats,” the political scientist added.
