Backed by the United Russia party, Vladimir Putin has officially declared in intention to seek re-election for a second consecutive term in Russia’s 2018 election.
The March 2018 election is largely a one man’s race rife with corruption and apparent ballot-stuffing.
More votes than voters were tallied in the last go-around.
Alexander Navalny, widely regarded as the only competition, has been officially barred from the ballot after being repeatedly arrested and detained in his self-proclaimed challenge to Kremlin corruption.
