Election results, who won
The final rating of candidates for the presidency of Russia was published on March 19, 2018.

Only for Grudinin. Implement transparent counting of votes under the video camera. For the exam, the cameras were quickly installed and for elections this is not a problem.
Putin and co., Have already begun to block support groups of P. N. Grudinin in social networks.
Sergei, there is no point in blocking Grudinin, he himself, opening his mouth, will release the smell. And personally, I am not very sympathetic to speculation on the Soviet names of commercial enterprises ("sovkhoz" - ZAO). I assess this as deliberate misleading, or, more simply, fraud.
He did not call his enterprise for the elections, it happened so historically, what is the fraud here?
And as Zhirinovsky izgalsya against Grudinin look sick. On TV only Putin Zhirik and Sobchak!
Cynicism goes off scale - we are considered either morons or cattle. Of course, part of our people (not without the influence of the "zombie box") thinks in terms of "coughing up blood, swimming in shit, we live in a great country", but not 70 percent of those who are stoned
Dear editors of the resource, this is a fairly popular and relevant article with a vote. Please attach it in the top or combine it with the article about Ratings, as it was before. Thank you for your objectivity and good work!
Really good offer!
18 years did not do anything Pu, what do people expect from him for the next 6 years?
Alexey, you were made during this time, only you will not gain experience in such a period, so the judgments are simple.
this is how they plan to set up the gas elections. why this question is not raised. the people have the right to see in the gas-election system the result of voting for each polling station for verification. people for transparency of elections. got the crime.
Transparency of elections can only be if the ballots are colored. Remove the multiparty system, there should be a maximum of three parties, right, left and centrists. As for the colors, the ballots for Putin, for example, are blue, Grudinin is red, Zhirinovsky is yellow, Yavlinsky is green, and so on. The ballots do not have to be completely colored, you can simply make the edging of the edges with a color width of 1 centimeter or other colored ornaments on the ballots and when a person comes to the polling station he takes a ballot with the color of the candidate for whom he wants to vote, in addition through video surveillance cameras it will be seen with what color the ballots will be stuffed and it is immediately clear for whom, also when counting votes, all ballots should be sorted by color and counted in front of cameras in the presence of observers and there will no longer be an opportunity to impose ballots of another candidate for Putin as they did before and do now and this is how the elections will be transparent and there is no need to be afraid that at the polling station people will see by color who votes for whom, this is normal.
In this case, the principle of secret ballot will be violated.
I will vote for Baburin. Why isn't it on the list?
Stop listening to Putin's tales! He was and remains the successor of the course of Gorbachev and Yeltsen, whose goal is the complete collapse of the country. It's just that Putin releases everything on the brakes to avoid popular unrest ... Don't be suckers, vote for Grudinin! This is our last chance to save the Motherland.
At one time he was also in the United Russia party and was Putin's confidant. Yes, and land in the suburbs to buy up to a mere mortal is impossible in our country, which means he is also greased to the common heap. I think he is just a reassurance in case Putin's rating falls, there is supposedly an apposition in the person of Grudinin. What do you think a real competitor will be allowed to break through?
I conducted a small poll among my friends and acquaintances, so the percentage of those who voted for Putin is below 10%, they say correctly to the campaign "no matter how you vote, it is important how they think"
