The next presidential elections in Russia will take place the day of the “annexation” of the Crimea. Annexation of Ukrainian territory – a dubious argument for the mobilization of the electorate. The Peninsula ceased to be of interest to the population of Russia. Now he is associated with routine, political vanity, and rising maintenance costs that are shifted onto the shoulders of ordinary Russians.
The topic of the annexation of the Ukrainian Peninsula will not be decisive in the next presidential elections of Russia. This opinion was expressed by Professor of comparative politics at the Moscow Higher school of Economics Sergei Medvedev.
