This article analyzes the situation in Iran on the eve of the presidential elections of 2021. Preparations for the election campaign took place in the context of the deepening economic crisis caused by the US sanctions after their withdrawal from the JCPOA, as well as the pandemic of coronavirus. The deterioration of the material situation of the population led to a denial of confidence in liberal forces, an increase in the mood of hopelessness and their political indifference. The difficult situation was taken advantage of by conservative forces, which have managed to strengthen their position in power in recent years. The Guardian Council, having prevented a number of well-known politicians to participate in the elections, actually ensured the victory of the Head of the Judiciary, E. Raisi. The unprecedented low turnout indicates an increase in Iranians’ dissatisfaction with the Islamic regime, which has ignored the democratic foundations laid down by the constitution and strengthened theocratic principles.
