Russian Opposition Candidate Nadezhdin Gathers Momentum in Presidential Bid

With Over 150,000 Signatures and Key Endorsements, Nadezhdin Promises to End Ukraine War if Elected

Boris Nadezhdin, a Russian opposition candidate, is running against President Vladimir Putin in the upcoming March elections, with a primary focus on ending the war with Ukraine.
Nadezhdin has collected over 150,000 signatures in support of his campaign, exceeding the legally required 100,000 signatures for nomination.
Despite the risk of a 15-year prison sentence for spreading 'false' information about the army, Nadezhdin has published a manifesto calling Russia’s military operation a 'fatal mistake.'
Key endorsements from other Russian opposition figures, including associates of jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny, have boosted Nadezhdin's campaign.
If elected, Nadezhdin plans to free all political prisoners, including Navalny, call an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, and initiate peace talks.
