Given all the brazenly obvious ballot stuffing that has been caught, is there any real point to trying to get out the vote? Also, even if by some miracle someone else won, Putin would declare it a stolen election and order another be held or declare it a terrorist attack or whatever. Putin has proven himself to be quite adept at retaining his base of power.

I think Navalny threw his life away in a very futile and purely symbolic gesture.

It's not like those elections are fair anyway?

Ban life! Problem solved.
