Boris Nadezhdin has submitted more than a hundred thousand signatures to the Central Election Commission in Moscow for his candidacy in the upcoming "presidential election" The liberal politician wants to challenge Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin in March, although he has no prospect of victory. The fact that a politician with open positions against the Ukrainian war manages to collect the necessary number of signatures for a candidacy is already considered a great success for Russian opposition members.
It is unclear whether Nadeshdin will be officially accepted as a candidate. The Central Election commission wants to decide this by February 10th.
