Abstract

The article considers the initial stages of the 2018 presidential election campaign in Russian Federation - the nomination and registration of candidates. The list of the participants is analyzed along with the reasons for their registration or non-registration. The article concludes that there are targeted policies of non-competitive campaigns in the elections of the executive government (based on the example of the presidential elections). These policies act as the main tendency that governs the electoral processes in modern Russia. The article also considers the main mechanisms used to achieve this aim. This research draws a conclusion that the emphasis in organizing the elections is put on establishing such formal rules and procedures that only system and resource politicians are able to comply with.
