Mikhail Neizhmakov, an analyst at the Agency for Political and Economic Communications, stated this today at a round table in Moscow.
“There is euphoria in the opposition environment now, but in fact, Navalny’s actions interrupted the agenda that the opposition forces in the regions hoped to promote in order to get results in the municipal elections,” Neizhmakov said.
He referred to social research data, according to which the level of support for United Russia among young people is higher than the national average.
“It will be possible to return this support in the near future. It is far from certain that the participants in the protests reflect the entire sentiments of young people in the regions. Therefore, in the current situation there is both a reason to remember the risks for the authorities, and a reason for optimism,” Neizhmakov said.
