A presidential election is planned in Russia for 15-17 March 2024.
Yekaterina Duntsova intends to run for president. She openly opposes the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
An independent candidate is legally required to meet a number of requirements, including a collection of 300,000 signatures in support of their participation.
This resolves YES if Yekaterina Duntsova claims to have met them - including collecting the required signatures (NOT on the Russian central electoral committee accepting the signatures, or her candidacy).
I can't think of weird edge cases. I may or may not freeze the market and consult the traders, or resolve N/A, if a weird edge case arises.

3.00Since Duntsova was barred from even collecting the signatures, I think I should resolve this question NO. But I'm worried there's some other pathway to meeting the independent candidate requirements that I didn't think about. I'll freeze the market and wait 24h in case anyone wants to point out any such circumstances; if nothing like this happens, I'll resolve NO.
@wadimiusz A candidate can be put forward by a political party, but I don't think it's happening in Duntsova's case.
