2024 Russian Presidential Election

The wartime ritual

15–17 March 2024 · The managed succession

Presidential elections were held in Russia from 15 to 17 March 2024. It was the eighth presidential election in the country.

Held in wartime. This election took place while the country was engaged in Russo-Ukrainian War (2014–present). Conflicts →

A wartime ritual, not an election: every genuine opponent was dead, imprisoned, exiled or barred, voting was extended into occupied Ukrainian territory, and the announced result was the highest in post-Soviet history.
