Honestly I'd put more trust in the results from Duma elections under Nicholas II. At least they were honest about who was allowed to vote and who they could vote for!

Blue or dark blue, it's all Putin. The darker regions are the ones who voted for him even more.

No, you're looking at the figures for voter turnout, which differed from region to region, making it different shades of blue. Click on Results, and you get to see the country painted in the Putin blue.. :)

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!

:D

So, he won't have to rig sunday's elections to bring this home. Why is he so popular while "the West" paints him as a sinister "KGB" goon? He's published a series of essays over the last weeks, the last one is his read-worthy take on Russia and the changing world. Still essential to understand where he is coming from is his infamous 2007 speech at the Munich Security Conference (don't blame me for the youtube title):


Discuss (and vote!)​

In his first major interview after his inauguration, comrade Vladimir Vladimirovich tells RT (who else) his views on issues like the upcoming APEC summit, Syria, the Missile "Defense" Shield, US presidential elections (including an "I looked into his eyes" moment making fun of Bush), Pussy Riot ("can you translate that into Russian for me" - yes Vlad, they appealed), corruption and even the Assange case (sticking it to the UK for extraditing him while harboring "people with blood on their hands" - obviously referring to super-villain Beresovsky who just lost a UK case against fellow oligarch Abrahimowhatshisname and is wanted in several countries including Russia). Interesting.

Does he say anything about the murder of journalists and the corrupt courts that turn a blind eye?

Yeah I'm just not that interested in 43 minutes of a thug's opinion from a TV station invented to manipulate stupid Westerners.
 
Do you support the Russian occupation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia?
 
!BAM! and there it is again. Everything works like the last time (and the poll is still representative), just that the western pre$$titutes are even more in a frenzy now, hyping up the Islamophobe racist criminal clown Navalny as "Main opposition candidate" while polls show he has around 1-2% support while the ultra-nationalist and communist candidates both have around 10% support. And Uncle Vladimir safe 60+%

Being a convicted felon (his brother actually sits in for their machinations), Navalny is not granted candidacy, which is a bit unfortunate from a propaganda perspective. If I were Putin I would give him amnesty and allow him to run, just for the LULz.

Election will be on March 18th.

edit: While the adorable Superstar song is still there, the 2007 Munich Speech video hasn't survived the six years, so here is a fresh copy (it is still essential viewing):

Having arrested his principal opponent, I see that Putin is upholding the fine traditions, of Democracy in Russia......
 
A couple of days ago, Margarita Simonyan, head of RT and born 1980, answered the following to a question by what she called a "BBCnik" about "Isn't there somebody better than Putin?":

Margarita Simonyan said:
To understand this, you had to live here before Putin. Just picture it, you live in a country where a civil war has going on long since, which has no end and no end in sight. Where a crisis has just struck, which has nullified all your money, again.
Where everyone understands that Chechnya will not come to an end, and there will be Dagestan, Ingushetia and even Adygeya, and then Tatarstan, until we fall apart completely in torment, hatred and blood.
Where my regional governor, for example, forbade the sale of our Kuban grain to Moscow, because this Moscow would go away, far off, along with the rest of Russia.
Where our bloody and final collapse is inevitable, and nothing can be done.
Where for months or even years salaries and pensions go unpaid. Where every year is worse than the previous one. Where all hopes have collapsed long ago.
And then a man comes, and all this stops. War, hopelessness, collapse, massive permanent non-payment.
Wages, pensions are growing. By slight increments, but growing. Mortgages can be had, unheard of before, there are some bank account savings from the population, mass TOURISM abroad:
Not shuttling to Poland with trunks loaded with alarms, like my mother, for example, (with her advanced degrees), but rather to vacation in Turkey. And then to Italy.
And in general, - I say, I do not know any person who would not live here much better under Putin than before Putin.
The problem is that you compare our life with your own. But we compare our life with our own life before Putin.
And we understand: maybe with someone else all these years it would be better. But in fact it was worse, way worse. Would you take risk the of such a situation?

I am concerned less about the apartment-bomber himself than the system of secret service control that he revived. Who knows when liberals in Russia actually get to dominate the discussion after centuries of tyrannical rule.
 
Margarita S is also very disingenuous, using the typical whataboutism to attack BBC when RT gets called out. The fact is any economic improvement would look good against the backdrop of Russia in the 1990s, a borderline 3rd world country. Yeltsin didn't do much to alleviate it, indeed he and his cronies, Putin included, helped rob the country slowly and the security service breakaways from the old KGB got the biggest pieces of the pie. A few rubles here, a few there, some false flag operations and wars uniting against Russia's next boogeyman.....the common people will come around, he thought. And they did.

From there, Putin has been successful in casting the Western powers as the scourge of humanity, while he tries to present himself as the innocent bystander who just wants to join the party, but the EEBUL NWO won't let him. So yea if Margarita S wants to be honest about post-Soviet Russian history she should tell the whole story, with all the bits and pieces, not a dubious before and after presentation.
 
Moscow Begins Crypto-Elections Testing: Thumbs Nose at US

Tom Luongo said:
The irony is so thick you’d think it was made from ballistic jelly. But, that’s exactly what’s needed to contain this shot across the election-tampering bow the Russians just pulled off.

According to Coindesk, the city of Moscow is unveiling an Ethereum-based version of its voting system called Active Citizen. By putting the votes on the blockchain, as long as the code is solid, then the results cannot be disputed.

This is one of the major promises of the trustless systems the crypto-community has been clamoring about for nearly a decade now. From the moment I heard about Ethereum and smart contracts, the first application that popped into my head was voting. [...]

There are concerns, rightly, about scaling and clearing enough transactions in a reasonable amount of time. So, it is best to test this system on inconsequential votes like the colors of seats on the Moscow Metro.

But, make no mistake, the message here is clear. Russia is moving towards a transparent, functioning democratic system. These small matters are simply beta-tests for wider adoption of this technology over time.

The first real milestone should be a local election with the final goal being national elections.

While trust in government institutions in the West is falling at an alarming rate, the evil, corrupt Russians led by chief Mafioso Vladimir Putin are acting to add faith in their system. [...]

"How Putin won the Elections 2018", that's how the engaged translator of Russian media events into English, Inessa S, titled this video. A snippet of a prime time TV "debate" between the head of the communist party and the head of the head of Zhirinovsky, the two runners-up to VV with both having halfway realistic hopes to get a two-digit result, and a female gimmick close to the family Putin runs to troll the West who is lucky to avoid a zero in front of the result.

Isn't Inessa S the little YouTube Kremlin puppet who tried to explain away Putin's crimes in the most cringeworthy and transparent way possible?

And V. Zhirinovsky has been running for President for how many elections in a row now? If I were so cynical I'd say he's been shilling to keep his position but more likely it's cause he's anti-American like most of the bunch.
