Original Note:
This post is misleading and highly selective. While Russia holds elections, critics argue they are neither free nor fair. https://osce.usmission.gov/russian-electoral-conditions-not-conducive-to-free-or-fair-duma-elections/ Putin maintains tight control and opposition figures are often targeted. https://acleddata.com/2024/03/06/boiling-under-the-lid-protest-potential-ahead-of-russias-2024-presidential-election/ Ukraine's ability to hold elections is severely limited by the ongoing war. https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-war-democracy-dilemma-elections/
