What Were the Actual Results in Russia’s Election?

Davankov: "I've exceeded expectations."
Putin: "So you have chosen death."

[joeyjojojrshabadoo]

When all your political opponents are jailed, disqualified or dead. Does it even really matter?

[Yutappy]

Davankov did better than expected?! Welp, R.I.P. Vladislav Davankov. I'll say stay away from windows and don't drink tea but I don't think that's going to help.

Who feels ‘insecure with 67% of the vote’? What a little man if you get me.

Moral of the story:- The people who live in democratic countries should be glad that they live in democratic countries

If you ever feel useless, remember that Russia still has elections.

Russia and elections should not go together in a sentence

American vs Russian ballot system:

America: You need this much to qualify
Russia: You need this much to disqualify

[Miamcoline]

Very well put. Finally some well-researched and contextualised reporting on Russia and its election. Really helpful!

Thanks for the update and the breakdown of the VOTING ! …..

You should make it more clear, that those numbers are just direct inflation, and it doesn't take into account that people did not want to vote for Putin, but voted for him anyway because they had no real option and were afraid/ bribed/ forced to vote that way. In fair elections, he would not have a chance to win.

Thank you for covering this, some might consider it a Russias internal story, but it will have global consequences, sadly enough.

[triklozoid]

Very high level of analytics, huge respect!

[sachinshah]

Do one for the 2020 US presidential elections now 😂

In fact, the biggest problem is that many people do not believe that anything can be changed. A very large part of people did not go to vote because they did not see the point in it and before these elections it seemed that everyone was in favor of vvp
