Russia's election season has officially begun, and apparently nothing says ""free choice"" quite like an armed man standing next to the ballot box.
Footage from the occupied part of the Donetsk region shows Russian-organized voting taking place under armed guard, with portable ballot boxes brought directly to residents and ballots filled out in the middle of the street. Secret ballot? Sure, just try making the "wrong" choice with a Kalashnikov rifle watching. And then there are Putin's squad, Russia's self-appointed grandmother guardians of democracy. This time, they delivered a warning to Zelenskyy not to disturb Russia's "democratic" elections.
In a new episode of Break the Fake, Jonasz Rewiński looks at Russia's election spectacle in occupied Ukraine, the armed "voting" process, and the propaganda performance surrounding Putin's latest exercise in "democracy".
