Quiet maneuverung has started within #russia's systemic opposition ahead of the 2026 #duma "elections". With very limited breathing space, #zyuganov turns #kprf more domestic, focusing on unskilled migration, demographics & infrastructure decline in its competition for 2nd place with #ldpr in a #kremlin-controlled environment.
And yet, the quiet fade-out of the NG article below recalls that not all competition on lower levels is dead and regions regain peculiarities.
"#slutsky? nominative determinism anybody?" 🤣🤣🤣
Preparations for a meeting between #Putin and #Trump are at an “advanced stage” - leader of #Russia’s #LDPR party #Leonid_Slutsky.
#Slutsky made no promises but mentioned February or March as an indicative timeline.

"It's a f*cking mass grave. They bury men here and then say they're f*cking missing. That's the kind of sh*t going on here."
The video reportedly shows one of the numerous mass graves on the territory of the so-called "#LDPR." Diggers work and corpses of #Russian soldiers are brought in by trucks.
The true face of #Russian territorial gains and #Putin's imperialistic ambitions.

"#russian snowflakes!" 😆 😆 😆
🤦 “Alien to us!”: In #Russia, representatives of the #LDPR party were discriminated against because of Western-made clothing
They demanded that one of the #Yakut stores remove the flags of #NATO countries - #Canada, #Norway, and #Finland.
When there is more than enough “patriotism”, but no rainbow colours have been found, they begin to fight with the flags.

" The ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (#LDPR) is working on a bill that would temporarily ban the travel of close relatives of high-ranking officials to 'unfriendly countries,' the RIA state news agency reported on Sunday." #Russia #UkraineWar

Deepdive @7x7journal on Aleksey Ostrovsky, who became the first #LDPR "opposition" governor in depressed #Smolensk in 2012 as a reward for loyalty during #Bolotnaya. From there, things quickly got worse as the new face quickly behaved "like a regular #UnitedRussia bureaucrat".
Политический эксперимент: как управлял Смоленской областью губернатор от ЛДПР и почему все стало только хуже
В марте Владимир Путин принял отставку губернатора Смоленской области от ЛДПР Алексея Островского, который управлял им с 2012 года. Тогда Смоленская область стала первым регионом в России, куда назначили управленца не из «Единой России». Местный журналист Дмитрий Раичев назвал это «политическим экспериментом властей и над самим Островским, и над регионом, который не жалко». В то время ряду жителей казалось, что либерал-демократ не допустит ошибок, за которые сами же оппозиционеры критиковали губернаторов-единороссов. Как прошел «политический эксперимент» над Смоленской областью и как власти сумели дискредитировать институт губернаторства с помощью парламентской оппозиции — рассказываем на примере карьеры Островского.
