On September 8-10, 2023, pseudo-elections were held on the territory of Russia and the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, organized by the criminal Russian regime led by the international criminal Putin.
Regionalist and national liberation movements representing indigenous people and colonized regions of the Russian Federation strongly condemn this fraudulent vote and do not recognize this brazen political farce.
Conducted under war conditions, establishing a dictatorship, depriving citizens of democratic rights and freedoms, liquidating free media and civil society institutions, using political repression and reprisals against dissidents, the Russian pseudo-elections once again clearly showed that the aggressor state, the Russian Federation, has no future, the Putin regime does not enjoy real support from the people and is living out its last days.
The false vote organized by the bloodied occupation regime on the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine once again demonstrated to the world community the entire chauvinistic nature of racism and the irrefutable fact that the Russian Federation is a terrorist country led by war criminals.
The pseudo-elections of 2023 once again showed that resistance to the Putin regime and the struggle for independence of indigenous peoples and colonized regions of the Russian Federation is possible in different ways, including through forceful resistance, but definitely not through imitation of the “struggle” within the criminal Putin system.
We have extensive experience in the struggle for free, fair elections under the Putin regime and declare that fair elections in fascist Russia are impossible.
The existence of this state in this form poses a threat to all civilized countries, and a necessary condition for guaranteeing peace is its complete dismantling, through the creation of new independent states based on national republics and regions colonized by Russia.
