俄罗斯将举行下院杜马选举，选出450名议员1。这是俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰以来的首次议会选举1。克里姆林宫计划利用该选举声称大多数俄罗斯人支持普京和战争1，并晋升近200名乌克兰战争退伍军人参加选举1。
然而，克里姆林宫对反战言论的压制在这次选举中表现得尤为明显。反战政党雅博罗党因呼吁乌克兰停火而被最高法院从党派名单中除名1，其候选人也遭到警方拘留和起诉1。例如，雅博罗党候选人格里高利·格里申因在Telegram频道发布"纳瓦尔尼"一词被控宣传极端主义1。独立选举监督组织领导人戈罗斯因从事"不受欢迎组织"工作被判5年监禁1，反对派政治人物则面临流放或监禁1。共产党领导人根纳季·久加诺夫表示："杜马的所有党派为支持特殊军事行动的170项法律投票赞成"1，这反映出俄罗斯权力体制被称为"受管理的民主"的现实1。
Russia is preparing to hold elections for its lower house of parliament, the Duma, to fill 450 seats 1. This represents the first parliamentary election since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, an event the Kremlin intends to leverage to demonstrate broad public support for President Putin and the war effort 1. Nearly 200 Ukrainian war veterans are among those standing as candidates 1.
The electoral process reflects the Kremlin's tight control over the political landscape. The anti-war party Yabloko was removed from the party list by Russia's Supreme Court in July, and its candidates have faced police detention and prosecution 1. One Yabloko candidate, Grigory Grishin, was charged with promoting extremism after posting the word "Navalny" on his Telegram channel 1. Meanwhile, the Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov stated that "all parties in the Duma voted yes for 170 laws supporting the special military operation" 1, underscoring the absence of meaningful opposition on matters of war policy. Independent electoral monitoring has also been severely constrained—the head of one independent election observation organization, Golos, was sentenced to five years in prison last year for work with an "undesirable organization" 1. This pattern of suppressing dissent and independent oversight demonstrates the system's characterization as "managed democracy," with the state maintaining firm control over which voices can participate in the electoral process 1.
