All we need to know is that Putin already won

[davidanalyst]

I don't think Navalny will be on the ballot.

[noratruong]

An election for only one candidate😂😂😂😂😂

[timothypruitt]

Comical that they'd even bother with an election!

[cyberartsy]

“Cracked down in dissent.” And what are you, dearest Dasha? You are what Russians would call “fifth column”. 😉

[Realitycheck]

Its not influenceed by AIPAC. And it has no foreign overlord. Thats the least i know about russias election.

[cathym]

Gee that would be hard to call the winner.

[SurelyLord]

Explains why Alex Navalney suddenly died last month.

[bowler]

I would like to congratulate Vladimir Putin for receiving 120% of the votes this year

[howard]

I'm confident that it won't be as disastrous as America's 20/20 has proven to be

[jahleajahlou]

Are they voting for a body double, a clone, a doppelganger ???

[Lazerecho]

No laws against handing out water bottles though?

[hunterrgntr]

Polls will be open for 3 days instead of 1. I'm so relieved that they're allowing the Russian people ample time to make up there minds about such an important election.🙄🙄🙄

[missyme]

Mmmm you know why even hold an election😂 it’s ridiculous… it’s like why vote at all if the opposition is guaranteed to have tragic situation of some sort leaving just simply the same exact individual each election. It’s like voters have to vote or else 😂😂😂😂

[cliffordnewell]

Russian presidential election? Putin is a horrible leader but he does have a sense of humor.

[dee]

Election with 1 candidate. He wants to know who is loyal to him…😂😂😂😂smh

[dreamersdisease]

If they have to keep up appearances i suppose

[tiffanyrose]

Hopefully russia new president will call for peace with ukraine because America can't be ukraine personal piggy bank anymore.

[jimb]

He will receive a RECORD number of votes, we in the US have the same type of "elections", at least the last 5 or so.

[BalancingHormones]

Wow, they just making them go through the motions.
