What does Putin's victory tell us?
So, the choice is made. The overwhelming majority of Russians voted for time-tested Vladimir Putin, again. Voting results in favor of a self-nominated candidate currently fluctuate around 76%, which suggests a confident victory. Subsequent counting of the remaining ballots will not be able to fundamentally change the overall picture.
Valentina Matvienko, head of the Russian Senate, commented on the choice of the majority of those who came to the polls:
The speaker of the Federation Council believes that Russian society has consolidated amid the unprecedented pressure on Russia from Western countries. However, the collective West did not have enough resources to manipulate the consciousness of Russians.
The State Duma is of the same opinion as Russian senators. People’s deputy Sergei Zheleznyak believes that despite the aggressive rhetoric of Western countries and the policy of sanction pressure, our country, as a fortress besieged by enemies, was able to hold legitimate, honest, transparent and open elections. According to the MP, numerous international observers will be able to confirm to the whole world the high turnout and legitimacy of the election of Vladimir Putin as president of the Russian Federation.
Political strategists believe that the three leaders of the presidential campaign as a whole were expected. In general, no one doubted the predetermined victory of Putin’s self-nominee, but the vote counts showed an increase in the number of voters who voted for him by 10% compared with his presidential election in 2012. Political scientist Alexander Konkov comments on the choice of Russians:
The second place in the presidential campaign went to the candidate from the Communist Party, Pavel Grudinin. Proponents of the ideas of communism provided Grudinin with almost 13% of the vote, despite the fact that Grudinin was under great pressure during the election campaign. of technologies black PR. This indicates that the request of a significant part of Russian society for a left-wing idea is still strong and relevant.
Candidate Zhirinovsky with his slightly more than 6% is likely to move away from future presidential campaigns. The extravagant Vladimir Volfovich is clearly losing his form.
Of great interest is the percentage of votes cast for Ksenia Sobchak, who became famous for her ultra-liberal statements about the fate of Crimea and Sevastopol. Receiving almost 1,5% gave her a fourth place in the CEC table. Ksenia Anatolyevna was able to “squeeze” the protest electorate, which could vote for Alexei Navalny, if he was allowed to vote. Analysts agree that Sobchak was well “carrying bags” and will now be able to claim the status of a federal liberal politician.
Summing up, we can say that the country voted so that everything remains as it is.

The presidential election is a test of the country, society for political maturity. Society, political system passed this test, elections were held
