    Westoid media seems to be making a big deal about the lack of “international observers” to the Russian election. When was the last time you heard about official international observers in western elections?

      even wikipedia has this about the observers:

      On 14 March, delegations from 36 countries arrived in Russia at the invitation of the Russian Federation Council as foreign observers of the election, who in fact do not represent observer missions but a visitors’ programme.[121][122] On 17 March 2024, the Chair of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation (CEC), Ella Pamfilova, announced that 1,115 international observers and experts from 129 countries were monitoring the electoral process.[123] They included Chief Election Commissioner of Pakistan Sikandar Sultan Raja.[124]

      so what the media is actually saying they need to have some kkkrackers there to “observe”
