Candidates who have fought in Ukraine are featuring prominently in Russia's parliamentary election. Nearly 200 candidates have served in Ukraine, according to election officials. The Kremlin is touting these candidates as part of Russia's "true elite", giving them honored places in campaign videos, televised debates, and party tickets.
These veterans are being promoted as having an important role in civilian life. However, analysts are skeptical that most of them will hold real power among the ruling class.
Further information on the election and the candidates' backgrounds is available from the source.
