From the New York Times, I'm Sabrina Tavernisi, and this is the daily Russians go to the polls today in the first presidential election since their country invaded Ukraine two years ago.
The war was expected to carry a steep cost for Vladimir Putin.
But as my colleague Valerie Hopkins explains, the opposite has happened.
Today, Valerie travels around Russia to understand how Putin has done it and how long that can last.
It's Friday, March 15.
So, Valerie, the presidential elections in Russia are starting today, and it's the first one since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine two years ago.
And back then, you know, there was this idea that the war could potentially become ruinous for Vladimir Putin, both politically and economically.
And here we are with Putin running for reelection two years later.
So we come to you as our on the ground Russia expert to talk about where we are in the arc of President Putin's power.
Well, Sabrina, these elections are set to run Friday to Sunday.
29 regions are voting online, and some of them have already started.
And it's a big event for Putin.
But you and I both know very well that elections aren't necessarily the best measure of the people's choice in Russia.
Right.
