The upcoming presidential election in Russia will be rigged to an extent unseen in previous elections Putin has participated in. How much will Vladimir Putin win by? What election turnout will his victory have?

War and crime in Russia are the only options on the ballot slips as there is no alternative to Putin's rule.

Alexei Navalny was murdered in a Russian prison. A pretext was found to disqualify potential candidate Boris Nadezhdin. Putin is in a field of four Russian presidential candidates. Putin is running illegally due to constitutional irregularities and his official opponents are loyal to the Kremlin.

How can Russians express their opposition to Putin when protests are illegal in Russia? Will we see rebellion during the election or do the Russian authorities have a tight grip on the population?
