The Spin
Anti-Russia narrative
Putin's victory in Russia's illegitimate election is inevitable and will be used as a propaganda tool against all those who seek to undermine Moscow's regime. However, despite the foregone conclusion, there's widespread acceptance that discontent with Putin is growing. Unfortunately, while this will likely only lead to further electoral coercion, minimal popular turnout and dissatisfaction cannot be ignored forever.
Pro-Russia narrative
Russia's three-day voting period allows all citizens ample opportunity to exercise their democratic rights. This year also sees new and innovative means of voting, such as via QR codes and other electronic means. Like all previous elections, the Russian electoral commission will continue to monitor the process and ensure once again that the people's voice is legitimately heard. Western accusations against the Kremlin will be proven baseless once again through this process.
