Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made this remarks to Russia’s RBC news website after the New York Times quoted him forecasting a 90% victory for Putin in next year's presidential election. "Although elections are a requirement of democracy and Putin himself has decided to hold them, theoretically it’s possible not to hold them,” he said.

What a stupid move by the Russian state. If they're so convinced that Putin will remain in power, they'd hold elections. Navalny is in jail and the opposition will probably try to mount an attack, but unless their domestic security services know something they're not telling, it's quite baffling why they'd openly admit to such weakness.

I mean, they've embedded Zelensky's move to postpone elections in their own propanda.

Imperialism breeds stupidity.

    No, this is new. The Kremlin reacted to this report before and now says that as Putin "obviously"wins, they might not hold an election at all.
