MNI POLITICAL RISK ANALYSIS - Russia Election Preview

Executive Summary:

  • The Russian presidential election will be held on March 15-17. There is little doubt that Russian President Vladimir Putin will be elected president for a fifth term but the election will provide a rare opportunity to gather data on Putin’s level of support amongst the Russian population.
  • Since the previous presidential election in 2018 the political environment in Russia has deteriorated. Putin has expanded measures to stifle political opposition and this election will be first without independent observers since the inaugural presidential election of the Russian Federation in 1993.
  • In this preview we provide background on the electoral system and political opposition, analysis on the significance of the election, financial market outlook, and a chartpack of relevant opinion polling.
