>London was assigned to a constituency in the Tomsk Oblast, a region in Siberia

Why should an emigrant in London affect the life of a city in Siberia he has no relation to? He has no skin in the game, if life becomes worse because of his choice, it will not affect him in any way.

>But in 2023, the State Duma passed a law under which overseas polling stations would only issue the proportional-representation ballot. One less reason to go to the election.

Good. Vote in British elections, have fun

>the least repulsive party

This kind of "Holier than thou" attitude is part of the reason why "Russian liberals" are not popular in Russia

>you get the feeling there’s plenty of room in there for someone to get disappeared

It's wrong embassy. He needs to go to the Saudi one where they killed and dismembered WP journalist[0]. Saudi regime as a very good friend of the GB[1].
