Russian citizens will cast their votes in the September 17-19 parliamentary elections. What do elections mean in Putin's Russia, and where is Russian politics heading? How will the international community perceive the elections given the absence of international election observers, due to "major limitations" imposed by Russian authorities?
Please join IFES and experts from the region to identify answers to these questions and to gain insights on the Russian parliamentary elections and politics. The event will be held live via Zoom and feature simultaneous interpretation from English into Albanian, Armenian, Georgian, Macedonian, Russian, South Slavic language and Ukrainian.
