See here in your application you made errors. For example in the first field where it says “Name”, you didn’t write “Putin”. That is not allowed.
What a coincidence, here in the US we banned all our anti-war candidates from the presidential election too! (Yes, I know dnc primary candidates aren’t literally and legally banned).
Meanwhile in the land of the free…

The future our Republicans want.
Has the world known a bigger coward?
The commission said 29 people have so far filed to run for the presidency. But after today’s decision, Mr Putin remains the only candidate to be able to register as a candidate.
Not just this anti-war candidate. It appears all candidates are banned from challenging Putin.
Did people really think a dictator would let a silly thing like an election get in the way of his ambition for power? It’s hilarious that people thought Putin would give up his power without violence. The only way Putin will ever leave power is through violence. Look at those gigantic tables he sits at. Putin knows how “popular” he is, even in his own country.
The people in Russia have no legal way to challenge their government. Thanks, USSR.
what it has todo with USSR?
They ran a shitty corrupt government, tried to conquer eastern Europe, failed, renamed themselves to “Russian Federation”, and are now trying to recapture lost states while feeding people into a never ending meat grinder.
I don’t see how modern Russia is still the USSR. Could you explain?
Putin is desperate to restore Russia to its former USSR glory. That’s why he wants Ukraine so badly.
tried to conquer eastern Europe, failed
How so if it was indeed occupied for years?
Germany occupied Poland for years. Doesn’t make it theirs.
But that was never the subject of the discussion. The USSR, and the Russian Empire before it, did successfully conquer Eastern Europe. That’s a historical fact. Whether you agree that this conquest made that land rightfully theirs is another topic, in which I have no interest.
Then let’s end this discussion here.
renamed themselves to “Russian Federation”,
By this logic the Roman empire should just be called the Roman republic. The systems of governance might be similar and both be abhorrent, but the USSR isn’t the same as the Russian federation
I feel like, if the USSR is to blame for modern Russia, then Tsarist Russia shares some of the blame as well
