Role-playing game: Elections in Kukuevo

Had a good rest after the holidays? Then join us for a game about Russian elections! Yes — the very elections happening right now, where opposition candidates continue to take part (and even win!).

You will play as part of a candidate’s team or an election commission, going through the entire process from registration to election day — and who knows what obstacles you’ll face at each stage?

The game introduces you to the methods the state uses to oppose independent candidates and teaches how these challenges can be overcome.

No prior experience or preparation is required. Come on Monday evening to experience — or rediscover — what politics on the ground really means.

The game will be led by Ivan Drobotov (@ivan_giraff), election observer coordinator, eco-activist, and author of the channel Ivan from Mitino.
