He was banned from running for president. He stills thinks only elections can change Russia

Despite being disqualified from running for president, Russian opposition politician Boris Nadezhdin still thinks elections are the only way there can ever be a change of government in Russia.
"Elections in Russia now are not fair and not free," he told CBC News in a Zoom interview from Dolgoprudny, a town on the northern outskirts of Moscow.
"But I do not know another way to change the politics and the power in Russia."
Nadezhdin, who campaigned against the war and urged Russia to enter into peace talks, has repeatedly called Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine "a fatal mistake."
He is convinced Putin's "politics have no future" in Russia — even as the man who has ruled the country for about a quarter of a century is slated to be re-elected in just over 10 days.
