Former TV journalist Yekaterina Duntsova was disqualified on Saturday from running against President Vladimir Putin in an election next March because of alleged flaws in her application to register as a candidate.
Video from a meeting of the central electoral commission showed members voting unanimously to reject the candidacy of Duntsova, who had wanted to run on a platform to end the war in Ukraine and release political prisoners.

The head of the electoral commission, Ella Pamfilova, offered words of consolation to Duntsova after her rejection.
"You are a young woman, you have everything ahead of you. Any minus can always be turned into a plus. Any experience is still an experience," Pamfilova said.

The differences between America and Russia are fading.
They humiliated that woman by airing her rejection on Russian state TV.
If anyone hasn't realized yet is that Zeeper neocons are just leftists with war groupie syndrome. Disgusting people.
You would have to have a death wish to run against Putin. I know he’s a hero to some people on this form. But he’s not.
So are the Russia worshippers
rigged game
Yours is a most apt comment. Kudos, albeit sad agreement.
No Putin "worshiper" here though some Freeper jackass trotted out the "Putin stooge" routine.
As to a death wish to run against Putin, some seemed to have done it, and others are already ginning up campaigns.
A source for the last election -- whether fair or not -- shows three names at the forefront: 2018 Russian presidential election
Pavel Grudinin, Communist party, and Vladimir Zhirinovsky, so-called right-wing LDPR, are still around.
So far, announced for the 2024 election are three candidates, two not dead. Same political parties more or less. Nikolay Kharitonov, a Commie, and Leonid Slutsky, LDPR.
That's just what one finds through Wiki.
And now a question based on your assertion: To whom on this forum is Putin an actual hero? I haven't found one, so you naming a Freeper who says Putin is their hero would assist.
My first thought. They saved her life.
So you’re saying Putin and Democrats are the same
Very true, they’re both menaces to civilization, freedom, and good government!
Clever boy. Of course, as you and I both know, that's the now-famous Cathy Newman BBC game. "So you're saying...."
I write what I write, and comment what I comment. And have no need of clever boys trying out their Cathy Newman gambit.
For example, and without any need for "so you're saying," a certain Freeper wrote, "I would rather the world end in nuclear war than yield to Little Pukin." I take the declaration at his (or her) verbatim statement, and don't play the "so you're saying..." game. Freepers of all sorts are able to say what they say without some Canuck interpreter playing at things.
Small correction: Zhirinovsky passed away in 2022 but he definitely was not killed for running for President. He died as a complication of an illness (not sure 100% if Covid or something else).
Oh, sure!
Russia fully embraces the LBGQTXYZ lifestyle. Have you seen those pics of rainbow flags marching in Red Square or the Kremlin?
Putin is just like Biden in knocking Trump off the ballot.
Thanks for the correction. I appreciate such. So many assertions are made in threads, especially over a "a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked," as Mr. Robinson has described it.
Best wishes for your holidays.
Now even in America, Television Watches You.
YOU’RE the one that agreed with the comparison (post #10)
