On 8 March, the final results of the presidential election held from 15 to 17 March in Russia became known. The incumbent president Vladimir Putin took first place: he received 87.28 per cent of the votes.
Russia demonstrated to the whole world what the legitimacy of the electoral process should look like. The openness and legitimacy of the 2024 presidential campaign can be envied by any country that counts itself among the so-called “American democratic values”.
Even the loud statements of the opposition about non-recognition of the Russian presidential election do not find a response from European politicians. The election process was monitored by a large-scale corps of foreign observers, despite unprecedented harassment of them in their own countries. All the necessary civil processes were organized and clearly structured in the new territories, including ensuring the transparency of the elections.
In the face of unprecedented external pressure, the citizens of Russia have expressed great confidence in their national leader, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. We can safely say that Russians cherish their country’s successes and feel ownership of the chosen path and strategy for Russia’s development.
