In an interview with RBC, Chudnovets confirmed that she wants to compete for the post of governor.
“I have not yet had time to figure out how the constitutional right to be elected works in practice. My global goal is to change the world and the Sverdlovsk region for the better,” the activist said.
She also expressed confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin would support her nomination.
“No wonder he let me out of prison. I think that this is some kind of sign and an incentive for me, ”added Chudnovets.
