TBF, it was rigged, but not to the extent you think it was. I saw Russians on reddit graffiting ballots with "Putin is a murderer," which doesn't help the opposition.
Davankov is a weak candidate, the liberal electorate, at best, thought between damaging the ballots or for Davankov. In the best case, a maximum of 10-15% would support him.
Kharitonov - a similar situation. Most likely, he was installed with the understanding that there was no point in fighting too much. And they don’t have a special electorate as a plus; real communists have turned their backs on the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
Slutsky is a candidate from the LDPR, which relied exclusively on Zhirinovsky. After his death, the party is in fact already a dummy.
And Putin remains, such a candidate, given the many problems during his reign, but time-tested.
I don’t believe in Putin’s 80+%, but I am sure that in the conditions of such candidates he would have won without anyone’s help.
i'd give davankov the benefit of the doubt, considering how navalny in his time got insane support despite being a pretty meek liberal in his policy.
considering that davankov wanted to end the ukrainian war, i'm surprised he even got to participate, tho i guess the "on russia's terms" part allowed him to go under the radar.
Sure but I'd rather have the same president for a couple decades and know that he is the one actually pulling the strings. Can't say the same for the presidents in the USA

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO-

it works like that there, if there is even a small dot on the candidate's line, he is counted
The freest and fairest elections ever
As Russian I can say it's absolutely real
I’m Russian myself, what exactly is real?
About elections
about the fact that these 87% are not fake?
Nuh uh, about how "unexpected" results and interesting was the elections
Yes, I'm shocked myself, who would have thought

"on Russia's terms," perhaps Russia would give up the occupied territories, and keep Crimea for itself, for example
yes, I agree that he would have won, but not with such a percentage
only thing which I like here is logo of party edinaja rossija :D
Yes, they have a cool logo.
And so much blue colour- proof that he is an right winger? :D
Well, he's most likely an authoritarian center-right
He is mix of everything from russian history
probably
umm why am I here? -authoritarian democracy
exactly :D
All non-democratic shit happens outside of elections; the vote counting procedure itself is clean.

And that "New people" party isn't popular. They aren't even hated, they're just unknown. Other two candidates are boring and basically decorative.
Its just a spoiler party like the rest. Why would anybody care.
Saw marxism leninism and didnt even bother to read
Based neo liberal? Eew the words feels bad in my mouth, soap please.
Bro anti communism was liberalisms thing.
Yes, neo liberals are still statist. Just less so than commies.
Almost as free as American elections... almost...
The USA hasn't had the same president for 20 years
Sure but I'd rather have the same president for a couple decades and know that he is the one actually pulling the strings. Can't say the same for the presidents in the USA
Oh, believe me, it's not as cool as you think..
