Vladimir Putin was reelected with 87% of ballots, in a three-day election derided by Russia's opposition and the West as neither free nor fair.
Russian President and presidential candidate Vladimir Putin meets with the media at his campaign headquarters in Moscow on Monday.
Russia’s Central Elections Commission later issued data showing 77% of the country’s eligible 114 million voters had cast ballots — a new post-Soviet record. Later, fielding questions at a press conference, Putin derided claims the vote was undemocratic and said Russians had merely rallied behind him when faced with threats from Ukraine and an aggressive West.
“The Kremlin couldn’t afford having these candidates in the race,” says Abbas Gallaymov, a former Kremlin speech writer turned government critic in exile. The death of Putin’s fiercest critic, the opposition leader Alexey Navalny, in a remote prison colony last month – under mysterious circumstances — also stirred resistance.
