I believe that the upcoming voting procedure should be treated as a public trial proving that there are no free elections in Russia today.
In this case, observing elections and recording violations by citizens and candidates means collecting evidence and identifying criminals. Boycotting elections and making a public statement about it also do not fall out of the process, because citizens testify that a significant part of the political spectrum has simply been artificially removed from the electoral process.
The jurors here are Russian citizens. To which all the details of the process need to be conveyed as widely as possible.
In this sense, appeals to the CEC are important, appeals to the courts or to international observers are important. But it is much more important to convey all the facts to the entire people.
I am convinced that the more widely and the better the information about violations is presented, the sooner the citizens of Russia will pronounce their verdict. And the sooner competitive elections will be restored in Russia.
