The book "How many impostors are in power? (on the example of falsified elections in Mordovia)" reveals a wide-scale problem of undemocratic practices in political structures. Based on the evidence and analyzing the events in the Republic of Mordovia, the author reveals the mechanisms of self-ownership and falsifications that can undermine citizens' trust in election processes. The book encourages the reader to think critically, providing arguments about the need for changes in the system of government and electoral practices. This is not only an investigation of the specific situation in Mordovia, but also an invitation to one's own analysis of the state of one's own country and readiness to act for change.
