Workers climb snowy mountains and old ladies sell flowers on the street, the church bells ring and people hang out at a pagan festival, crazy activists near Kremlin "fight back" the hated America and an former Soviet party worker reflects on the truth and Pontius Pilate, a doctor is proud of his "profession without convictions" and teenagers film TikToks. Even the propaganda machine is more concerned about the upcoming 10th anniversary celebration of the Crimea "joining to Russia".

It seems no one wants to really participate in the life of these elections, only the obedient uneven march of cadets to the polling places remains. The elections without voting. As always voting.
