The polling stations are closed and the first pole extours, as predicted, give Vladimir Putin Russia's direction for another six years.
To learn the name of the new Russian president appears not to be the need for a run-off, as Putin, at least according to the political exit, is expected to get over 70 per cent of the vote.
In the race for president, only Vladimir Putin were seven other candidates. Putin's rivals include communist millionaire Pavel Grudin, former leader of a <x0-reality show”, Ksenia Sobchak, and veteran nationalist Vladimir Jirinovsky.
Putin's main opposition leader and strongest contender, Alexei Navalny, was not allowed to participate in the elections due to a conviction in power. Navalny, who sees the attempt to eliminate the rival, has called for boycotting the elections.
This year's elections were the first to take place in Crime, since Russia annexed the peninsula from Ukraine. The vote coincides with the fourth anniversary of the treaty signed by President Putin, who officially declared the Crimea part of Russia.
This movement was sharply contested by Kiev and escalated tensions between Russia and the West. As a result, Russians living in Ukraine were not allowed to participate in the vote, with the decision of Kiev's government.
