      He posted a video of it. This means that:

      • whatever was put on any ballot didn’t matter anyway, because with the current situation in russia there would be a wave of jailings going on
      • they very carefully watch what’s showing up on the internet and will punish you in an instant if they don’t like what they see
      • he should get out of the fucking country as long as he still can if he doesn’t want to find himself in an unmarked van in direction of the frontline

          That has either the effect that the vote counter just has a laugh while not effecting the published numbers, or the far worse effect of the FSB standing in front of the voters door in a few days.

      Please read the article before posting a comment. Headlines are intentionally written in a way to attract your attention often omitting key factors. Especially if a headline seems egregious it’s worth to check if the article itself has more information that would answer some obvious questions, like in this case where a blogger already known by the secret service posted a video about the voting ballot. It is still a shitty thing to happen, elections are by no means free in Russia.
