Who will win the so-called elections in Russia

Fixed the question for you ;-)

Answer: doesn’t really matter. Whatever you like to call him, he’s going to remain the same.

Alright I’m making bets

I’ll bet $100 Putin wins.

Any takers for the opposition?

Nah but I bet it will be real close like Kim Jon Un’s was this last time.

Douche&Turd-Sandwich (Putin is both, like how 7 8 9)

Mad Vlad and the Yesmen.

The people already in power.

The person allowed to survive. In other words, the same approach whether Vlad wants to retire or not. The best thing that could theoretically happen to Russia is that some absolute buffoon with Vladimir’s endorsement is propped up and it causes a civil war between the mercenaries and the army.
