Who wins Putin or Putin?
Putin has served as president of Russia since 2000 (with a break in 2008-2012, he was then Prime Minister). Despite declining support for the war in Ukraine, the polls indicate that it inactive enjoys popularity among Russian society.
Experts presume he will win another word in the scheduled 15-17 March elections, gaining support at around 70-80%. According to a survey conducted by the University of Chicago in November 2023, support for Vladimir Putin in Russia is inactive high. Even before the authoritative application, his candidacy was about 65%.
Vladimir Putin can be certain of his victory. His critics are either dead, either in prison, or they are abroad. On March 15, the Russians will receive ballot cards on which respective opposition candidates will appear, but their chances are symbolic in their clash with a man who has almost absolute control.
