Russian Opposition Politician Boris Nadezhdin Leaves Country After Election Bar
Boris Nadezhdin, a Russian opposition politician and critic of the war in Ukraine, has left Russia after being barred from running in the upcoming parliamentary elections. He was designated a "foreign agent" and fined for displaying "extremist symbols," charges he rejected. Nadezhdin had sought to challenge President Putin in the 2024 election but was disqualified. His departure reflects increasing restrictions on dissent amid Russia's ongoing conflict and political control.
