Russian Presidential Elections

Who will win the Russian Presidential Elections

  • Putin

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • Putin

    Votes: 3 23.1%

  • Putin

    Votes: 1 7.7%

  • On Planet X, we all vote for Putin

    Votes: 9 69.2%
  • Total voters
    13
  • Poll closed .
A quarter of the votes counted, VV is at 73% with the communist coming in second at a very high 15%, but that could have to do with the results coming in from east to west over Russia's many time zones. Clear enough already to play the obligatory congratulations song:


My boyfriend is in trouble once again:
Got in a fight, got drunk on something nasty
I've had enough and I chased him away
And now I want a man like Putin

One like Putin, full of strength
One like Putin, who won't be a drunk
One like Putin, who wouldn't hurt me
One like Putin, who won't run away!

I've seen him on the news last night
He was telling us that the world has come to crossroads
With one like him, it's easy to be home and out
And now I want a man like Putin

One like Putin, full of strength
One like Putin, who won't be a drunk
One like Putin, who wouldn't hurt me
One like Putin, who won't run away!

RT result page. As I said, as the results come in from east to west, the commie is losing against Putin (and a bit against Zhirinovsky). With ~60% counted now, Grudinin is barely above 14% while VV is just over 74% and looks like cracking 75%.

Shills (paid or unpaid) for the likes of those people - and others, e.g. Assad, the Iranian theocracy, others like the late Fidel Castro and Muammar Qaddafi, Saddam Hussein to some extent (mainly post-1990/1991) - don't have political views so much as they have political disinformation agendas on behalf of the very real and very active enemies of liberal democracy, human rights, the free press, etc. And of course, as long as the US, UK, NATO, Israel, and so on are the targets, who cares about the ulterior motives, agendas, and barbaric practices of the state and allied non-state actors targeting them?

It's not that complicated, really.

Blocked from embedding here, but it likely is this incident that was dealt with shortly after detecting - and it was detected in real time because everyone can watch any voting booth live on the internet.

It most probably is; the name of the town matches (modulo differing transcription), and the text in your link implies there's only one polling station in that town.

Dutch TV news have been showing footage of ballot stuffing from another poling station, which I haven't found (yet) on Youtube.

It's really sloppy work of the FSB, I must say, or whichever agency is responsible for installing the CCTV. You can clearly see them stuffing the ballots, but you cannot make out on the video that they've filled out the ballots for the right candidate.
 
It's not like they had any real choice. With Georgia, Ukraine, Syria, etc. Putin has carefully framed it Us vs. Them....and it worked, AGAIN.

"We don't need revolution....we need stability" Worked. AGAIN.
Just a different mindset in general over there after centuries of conditioning.

I wonder if opposing candidates make concession phone calls to the winner, like in the US.

"Okay okay you win, Vlad. Now a deal's a deal, send over the antivenom."

Russia never really changes much when it comes to politics.
That freaking Stalin is still a popular figure in Russia tells you all you need to know.
 
Putin might be a nationalist, but he is doing a great disservice to his country by making a future peaceful transition of power impossible.

Is he though? As long as the future leader is hand picked by Putin it seems to be something that is doable. Being the picked leader to support and cover the corruption of the previous regime is something Putin knows something about.

How long, exactly, do you expect Putin to live, assuming no foul play (which is quite the assumption) ?
Also, unlike China, Russia has basically no tradition of an Éminence grise: you are the boss only as long as people know you are the boss.
Putin cannot give up his power, since without it he will lose all his wealth.
And quite probably his life.
