It would require the average Joe to be able to see beyond his nose. I
had to convince my parents and friends to vote. Half of them didn't care
and the other half didn't think their vote matters. The latter is mostly
true as elections are almost completely rigged and there is now a
popular meme "146%" because that is a total amount of votes if you add
all parties together according to a federal TV report.

There was one notable exception. Alexey Navalny was running for a mayor
of Moscow and got the 2nd place with ~20% votes. After that, he was
quickly arrested and was about to get a prison sentence but managed to
avoid it. But his brother didn't though, he's still in prison.
