Are you happy?
What do Russians think of their glorious leader?
Do they think people really voted for him or do you think it was fixed?

They really did.
Those who voted against had no hope to make difference, and they certainly realized it. The only thing they could do was to make the choice less unanimous. But it appeared he won even more votes than 6 years ago.
Cliff, you really shouldn't be provocative here, please don't!

As you possibly know, there were no real alternatives for voting. So if they put Sobchak and Grudinin as Putin's rivals, there is no need to fix votes.

Right you are! I voted for Grudinin & not because I like him or his programme , but because I wanted to vote against Putin. Actually, my attitude to Putin is quite neutral, but my parents are strongly against him.there were no real alternatives
There was no point in voting for Sobchak or Zhirinovsky , I've seen their debates - these people shouldn't be allowed to become a president. They're just clowns for TV shows. Though I do admit that Zhirinovsky sometimes proposes some clever ideas. On the whole, everybody knew the outcome of the elections and most people voted for Mr. P. The opposition is weak, I thought there would be protest meetings and rallies. Are there any? No.

It is obvious that 86% of the population love or at least like what he has done and is doing. I was wondering why 76 not 86 %) I think there were people who overslept or overdrank and weren't able to come to vote. I don't have any other explanation to this phenomenon.
Why should they have had to be? It was clear from the very beginning that Putin was the only candidate and even if they allowed Navalny to run, I don't believe that there would be a second tour of elections.

I think he means that as a joke rather than as an offensetourist пишет: ↑25 мар 2018, 21:15 Cliffy,

Putin didn't return. Putin has left nowhere since 1999. Actually, there was no doubt about who would win the last election. There aren't other candidates among people who have participated the election. The really strong rivals were not approved for elections. We see the same composition every time since 2000. With the same result. People support Putin because of strong conversation with West, joining of Crimea, powerful army and new nuclear weapon. Russian TV explains us about unfriendly partners around Russia, foreign agents inside and only Putin could defend us. However, many people are afraid of the situation in Ukraine and believe only Putin could prevent such situation in Russia. These are the reasons why people have been voting for Putin. Maybe some people have voted for Putin because of they are forced or afraid of losing his job, but the vast majority of people really likes Putin.
I haven't gone to vote anyway.

I am sorry but I couldn't get you. What does it mean?
Wasn't it Putin who created that situation? OK, not Putin, but the system which he represents.
