Ekaterina Duntsova, the long-shot challenger to Russia's President Putin | DW News

This Lady is the best!

Aaaaand... Goodbye. Enjoy the democracy of your Ruzzia. Extremely long political career...

She is someone I would vote for. I agree with everything she says. Awesome, women!!!

Stay away from windows and watch out for that funny tasting borsh.

She is a 40 year old single mother, she can not even keep a relationship never the less be competent enough to challenge a man with fast experience who has 95% of his country behind him.

The US wants to remove Trump from the ballot so it safe to say both countries are dictatorships

This women is a Western puppet, like some of the other challengers. Not a serious candidate. Western Governments interfere with foreign elections and put on phony narratives. Then use channels like this one to give the narrative an air of credibility. Russia usually has more candidates on the ballot than Western Governments. Considering what is happening in the US were elections are stolen, then phony court cases are run to cover the theft, why is this channel not covering that? The US has a history which includes assassinating its presidents and funding coups all over the globe, Ukraine is a case in point. Why the world is spending energy on this phony narrative, Western Elites are enslaving the globe and thier own citizens. Putin is not the enemy...western governments are the enemies of everyone.

the most interesting thing is that in Russia 99% of the population does not even know who she is)

It's all staged.

Кто эта женщина? Живу в Москве. Слышу о ней первый раз.😅😅😅

She will undoubtedly replace Putin in free and fair elections and Putin will quietly retire in shame never to be heard from again because that’s clearly how the world works now

I hope she's not weak won't give in to bully countries such as the west and nato unlike Pres. Putin who is a strong leader and won't give in to pressure and bullies.

This is a great lose of Russia if she will win.

Lets be honest, russia would be done with her in charge. she would inadvertently allow nato and the US to comfortably infiltrate the state and take over their weapons, russians cannot allow that to happen

stopping putin in russia is as impossble as stopping addiction in united kingdom

I wish her luck. Like Marianne Williamson she wants peace. Women for peace. Rally the sisters.

Who's she? Another puppet of the West?

Ochen' smelyy

What Assam India people support President his excellency Putin or this Women

They are afraid of you,merry Christmas Ekaterina and stay safe! 👍👍👍

Russia taking pages from America's (Biden's) playbook.

Russia sure may need a woman like this to get the country back to civilization again. Sad what Putin has done with Russia. Hope companies now move investments from Russia to Ukraine.

They're doing to her exactly what they're trying to do with Trump.

likes Putin BTW...

The Kremlin wants to convince the outside world that Russia is a full-blooded democracy. The truth is, however, that the Kremlin has some very effective tools in its toolbox should Duntsova suddenly turn out to have too many votes.
I was referring, among other things, to Vladimir Putin's most significant political opponent, Alexei Navalny, who was first acquitted of the nerve agent novichok and then sent to a penal camp to serve more than 30 years in prison.

She is such challange that can’t gather 500 people to prove support for formal nomination by her pier’s 😂😂😂.If you read why her application was rejected for been confirmed as running presidential candidate you need 300 000 signatures as independent candidate or 100 000 as party nominated candidate which is nearly impossible in her case .
She already asked the opposition parties like yabloko and Navalni’s ex party to nominated her and both told her WHO ARE YOU..please kick sand.
Same as so called Belorussian president which now is Lithuania and the Venezuelan comedian.
Putin is not democratic leader in Russia his elections are formality but the west is getting desperate 😂😂😂.
Liberal politics and democracy died in Russia in 1992 when Yeltsin ordered the army to take back the Duma with the support of Clinton administration and then leaders of EU.
What we got later is people like Navalny who are corrupt themselves trying to get more…

A thick Indian accent keeps you focused 😀😀

Some candidates are just there for 'international transparency' , and to show some citizens that at least Putin was in competition with other candidates, but otherwise the election is just like Zimbabwean, which I believe the results are there already, waiting for official announcement after the election. Kkkkkkkkkk

Putin 🪓.

Russia is not for women. I can see she is already contaminated by the USA and the West, how can she come and say she wants to end the Ukraine Special Military Operation?. She should dealt with because she is a threat to the future of Russia.

i hope she's ready... there's a lot coming, negative and positive (mostly negative... and fatal) hope she wins

Did Putin get shorter?

She might fall out of a window

قسما بقدرة الله الهائلة العظمى اللامتناهية مؤكدا

يا ناصر انصر ملك العالم الأوحد افلاديمير فيتش بوتين نصرا عظيما و
نصرا عزيزا ونصرا مبينا يا سريعا مؤكدا

Russia needs a woman like that, brave and honest, it is hard to run agaisnt Putting and his liars

She might as well be running against Biden.

She is not even going to win. She lacks the charisma to be the leader of Russia.

Putin = 🐈

Those who know what NATO has caused in the world do not want these war mongers around. I think of all the wars in the Middle East with millions of casualties.
In 2008, the then US ambassador William Burns wrote home that njet means njet. He had then talked to all political camps in Russia about NATO in Ukraine and everyone was opposed to it as they could sense the consequences of even more nuclear weapons and threats from NATO closer than ever.
Less than 2 minutes from Moscow and the slightest mistake can cause nuclear war when time is so short to determine if it is a false alarm.
Today, William Burns is the head of the CIA and has completely forgotten what he wrote in 2008.
Once NATO was a defense organization that I considered necessary, but since the 90s, NATO has unfortunately become a ruler and a war organization that I do not want in Sweden.

Do they even bother counting the votes in russian elections.

This opposition Candidates are just Legitimizing the Putin Administration. Some of them maybe just pretending to be Opposition but actually, under the Payroll of Kremlin. BOYCOTTING the election the way forward. PASS IT ON.

Sounds like what Biden and the DNC are doing..

Look out woman, no way you’re going to win over an established dictator.

This shows that there are still critical voices and opposition against Putin and his war administration but elections are a fraud since long time in Russia and now anyone who dares argue against this war is sent to jail or stripped of all financial means, income or work. Typical for a dictatorial rule. This means that Putin will only be removed after defeat in Ukraine, at the loss of another thousands more of solidiers on each side and if Russia wins this war in Ukraine, a hugh fugitive crisis of Ukrainians all over Europe + further escalation of the power hunger of the Kremlin towards Europe and Nato.

Controlling the elections is how dictators stay in power. Same as here in the USA.........

Doesnt she realise its impossible for her to win or she is doing is risking her life

Putin's already been "reelected" pre election sham event, it just hasn't been announced yet. Besides Putin seems to be srinking in physical size every time he is filmed for media and politically on the world stage. Who would have thought the Russian election commission was made up of grade school grammer & typo error checkers.

Я Россиянка...
Не хочу такую....
Нет, кушайте сами

She has been banned from running for president - Russia´s "election" was and will be a JOKE!

Dictatorship at its best oh wait what this Dictatorship is in the democratic party. Lets go Brandon
