Boris Nadezhdin seeks to run in the March 17 presidential election in Russia. The question now is whether authorities will allow him on the ballot.

The stocky, bespectacled 60-year-old local legislator and academic has struck a chord with the public, openly calling for a halt to the conflict in Ukraine, the end of mobilizing Russian men for the military, and starting a dialogue with the West. He also has criticized the country’s repression of LGBTQ+ activism.

    Yeah, we need each other just not to go insane.

    I dropped telegram and other spy networks, so I’m pretty open to other options.

      Matrix? @noobdoomguy8658:matrix.org

      There’s also DMs on Lemmy if you prefer, and IRC, but I’m new to the latter.

      I kinda wish I could make everyone in my circles to get into Matrix and fediverse in general, maybe IRC, but that’s hardly a fun time for them - just another website, app, or service to learn and use just for one lefty dork, and not for a very frequent communication, too.
