Election results in Russia- Corriere.it

Putin’s party won the parliamentary electionsBut this is not news. She won them with a national percentage that is, at the moment, close to 40%. And perhaps, at the end of the poll, it will reach 45%, a figure that Kremlin strategists previously indicated as desirable. Along with another 45%, turnout. The two numbers, repeated like a mantra and then lowered to cover if things didn’t go as planned, were the right numbers: enough seats to ensure Vladimir Putin’s control of the State Duma, the lower house. They would have won at least 240. Not too big to blame allegations of fraud and vote fraud. However, there was and more will happen in the coming days. In 2016 for Putin they got 54% a miracle and street protests erupted.

protests

In some regions of United Russia, opponent Navalny described it as Party of thieves and swindlers And very little is loved by the people, it was filled up. But even this is not news, because no one doubted that Ramzan Kadyrov, the undisputed master of Chechnya, was able to guarantee the results of the popular referendum to his patron Vladimir Vladimirovich as usual. Or that new Russian citizens of the rebellious Donbass republics will vote in droves for federal passports instead of the hated Ukrainian documents.

The success of the communists
