Ella Pamfilova’s remarks come ahead of next month’s regional elections across Russia, as well as the 2024 presidential election, in which President Vladimir Putin is expected to seek re-election for a fifth term in office. Sources close to the presidential administration told the independent Meduza news website last month that regional authorities have been tasked with ensuring no less than 80% of the votes for the Russian leader.

In soviet Russia, it is not the citizen who decide who in going to govern, it is the government who decides who is going to be a citizen.

Statement should have read "Putin does not need Western democracy." Suppose that would get Ella defenestrated, though.
