Russia’s opposition is organizing a protest called “Noon Against Putin,” scheduled for this upcoming Sunday’s election day. Despite Putin being expected to win, the opposition aims to demonstrate widespread disapproval of his leadership. The campaign, originated by politician Maxim Reznik and supported by Alexei Navalny’s team, intends to show a strong opposition to Putin, even if the election results are likely manipulated. Russian authorities are attempting to undermine the protest, using tactics such as disinformation and threats of legal action. The opposition movement is actively campaigning both online and offline, with volunteers working to distribute materials and engage voters across the country. Though facing obstacles, the opposition remains determined to make an impact at the polling stations and challenge Putin’s authority.
