As expected from around the world, there was no surprise in yesterday's presidential elections held in Russia.
From votes counted until last night, Vladimir Putin has secured an absolute victory, even greater than that, with 64% of the votes he received in 2012.
According to local media only from half of the boxes counted, Putin has secured 75% of the vote, followed by communist millionaire Pavel Grudin.
Also in the race were journalist Ksenia Sobchak and renowned nationalist Vladimir Jirinovsky, while the only serious opposition rival, Alexei Navlany, was expelled from the race.
Speaking to people in Moscow, Putin, who holds the task of Russia's 3rd term number, with a break in the middle of a mandate as prime minister, cited the time he could leave leadership.
I won't be in charge when I'm 100,” gave Putin good “good news” to Russians hoping to install a functional democracy in their country, but also to countries like the United States and so on.
