    Putin’s immensely popular both domestically and in the Global South. Navalny is popular in the West and in some parts of Russia.

    With the rise of the Global South, my money is on Putin keeping it together.

      domestic numbers spoofed, when anti-putin riots occur frequently and are brutallt supressed it’s hard to say it’s ‘immense’

            Not OP. Born and live here. Can’t say about the ‘Global South’ thing, but he’s far from loosing even legit elections, too much apathy, and if something, people around me of all walks of life only want to be left alone. Living standards decreased, prices increased, but locals still manage their day2day life. Still something to lose, still a will to ignore, and a general mindset of them political things being too big for us little men.
