Russia's 'Special Election Operation' and growing pessimism
Original: Russia's "Special Election Operation" and growing pessimism in Russia
BBC correspondent Steve Rosenberg examines Russia's presidential election, which the Kremlin frames as part of its broader confrontation with the West, coining the phrase a 'special election operation' in reference to its war in Ukraine. His reporting highlights deepening pessimism among ordinary Russians, with little doubt about the outcome, widespread apathy toward politics, and growing anxiety about the economy and the country's future under Vladimir Putin.
Why now: Fresh reporting on Russia's presidential election and public mood has drawn wide attention as the vote unfolds.
