The result was no surprise: Vladimir Putin allegedly received around 88 percent of the votes in the election. Something else will remain: images of Russians creatively expressing their protest.
Presumably, the main thing that will remain from this election are images: for example, ballot papers that look more colorful than usual. Hundreds of cell phone photos are circulating in the Russian Telegram channels and on the X platform. “Putin, I hate you,” someone scrawled on a ballot paper and then photographed it.
