What does March 15 say?

This Friday, March 15, Russians are called to vote until Sunday to elect their president, a study highlights the effects of isolation on the mental health of students and a congress to prepare for the arrival of extraterrestrials will open in Limoges.

“Hi it’s Sarah, what does it say?”

This Friday March 15, 114 million Russian voters are called to the polls until Sunday March 17 to elect their president. Unsurprisingly, Vladimir Putin should be re-elected for 6 years, even if he is not the only candidate: the other three are favorable to the Kremlin’s policies and never criticized him during the campaign. No independent observer will be present to monitor the ballot boxes, which makes this vote, according to some experts, the most opaque and falsified election ever organized in Russia.

The start of the first confinement will celebrate its 4th anniversary this Sunday, March 17. On this occasion, a study from the University of Bordeaux shows that 41% of students suffer from moderate to severe depression, whereas they were 26% before the pandemic and the number of 18-24 year olds receiving treatment for suicidal behavior increased.

A three-day congress to “prepare humanity” for the arrival of extraterrestrials on Earth, the Exovision Symposium will be held from this Sunday in Limoges. An event at “possible sectarian abuses” which worries local elected officials. Several thousand people are expected to attend conferences by speakers sometimes from conspiratorial circles.
