Russia holds parliamentary elections amid wartime and limited opposition
Russians began voting on Friday in a three-day parliamentary election, the first held since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin has framed the election as a measure of support for the war. The election features virtually no opposition and is widely expected to solidify the Kremlin's political dominance. International reporting notes the voting is tightly controlled.
