Russians will be heading to the polls for parliamentary elections this weekend, and perhaps unsurprisingly Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party is leading as the war in Ukraine continues. [Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/subscribe] So is there still a political pulse in a nation where Putin rules supreme and parties that oppose the war are banned? Voters will go to the polls over three days to elect a new State Duma in the first parliamentary elections since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. The only anti-war party has been banned, while candidates deemed to have "undesirable" opinions have been disqualified or jailed. This is a rare journey through Moscow, where we discover what campaigning looks like in an election where everyone already knows who the winner will be.
