Quotes regarding this election

Безусловно, этот процесс голосования демократичен, особенно поразили те организационные процессы, которые ему предшествовали. Для сравнения хочется отметить, что, посещая избирательные участки в Москве и Санкт-Петербурге, люди туда просто шли выполнять свой долг, по сути, изъявить свою волю. В Крыму же процесс голосования - это нечто сродни празднику.

Plebiscite Election Russia Crimea 2020

Classification: illegitimate

In order to have a possibility to stay in power until 2036, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided, in January 2020, to change the Constitution of the Russian Federation and legitimise its change through the “all-Russian voting”. The overwhelming majority of the world’s nations does not recognise Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Autonomous Republic of Crimea in 2014 and international institutions such as the OSCE ODIHR consider Russian elections held in Crimea as illegitimate.
