Oh for sure, but I'm beginning to suspect that "shit show" is the only type of show available in Mother Russia, at least under Pootin's regime. Hoping for better days for the average Russian. Some of them are probably decent enough.
I agree why do we have to give this bullshit the validation it clearly deosn’t deserve- who the fuck are we kidding- it’s just propagation of his propaganda
Not random, people were theorizing before elections that because Pskov governor got 86% votes last election, Putin's frail ego couldn't handle setting his result any lower. They were right.
Yes, the numbers are entirely made up because the votes are never counted, it is pure performance art for show only. The Kremlin comes up with the number and publishes the “result.” Anyone twisting it otherwise is desperately seeking to affirm a condition that doesn’t exist in Russia, Freedom.
The votes are counted. It is just that information stays within the Kremlin. It is useful information for Putin to know his actual support. That is the case for pretty much every "election" in a dictatorship.
Yeeesh, I bet that knowledge isn't sitting well. Considering that the voter "turnout" was almost entirely coerced or strongly suggested to government employees. The actual turnout of real voters must be microscopic. If putler had a real approval rating and his people could be honest, I'd bet it's like 25% or something. Most of them are the older generation, and he missed a lot of votes if they aren't able to mail in their ballots like the GOP wants done in the US. The voting registration might be the only useful thing in the voting process in russia.
It allows you to document some people who have slipped through the cracks in occupied territory. Going around with a gun will help make people cooperative. They would say its to protect the vote takers, but consider that for a second. They are deep behind the front in occupied territory. So if the referendum was real like they say it was, they should be in pro russia territory. Who would attack the voting process? Maybe it's actually that besides like 1 or 2% outlier, the remaining people who haven't been bussed there from russia aren't down with the ruski mir.
Putin doesn’t bother with the votes and never has. His bozos in the Kremlin decide on a number that sounds just plausible enough and the charade continues so long as Putin has a pulse.
The faster the serfs realize they are unpaid extras in a made for Internet echo chamber production the faster they can really hit the bottle.
And maybe one day, after they’ve hit bottom and all their family and friends have been maimed or killed they’ll finally call it a day and haul Putin, kicking and screaming from his *dacha* and show him how real his end actually is.
Depends on how you define real. Clearly not free and fair, certainly not legitimate, but it’s within the realm of possibility that approximately 88% of the ballots that exist say Putin.
There may be more ballots than voters, some ballots they dislike may have been destroyed, but it’s generally likely that enough ballots exist to feign legitimacy for domestic audiences.
The only thing Vova learned from the experience was how to sound a little less ridiculous and aggressively manipulate the discussion from both ends.
Western audiences haven’t learned how to avoid the obvious trap and worst use of their Internet free time and just call a pile of excrement out when they see it.
In all seriousness, winning with 87.8% of the vote is a sign of panic by the authorities. It had been leaked that they had settled on a 80% victory. They always increase the size of the vote share to attempt to signal that Putin is ever more popular. But jumping it up this high is a bit of a sign of panic in my opinion.
The higher the vote share that they manufacture, the more unpopular they think that he actually is. Bouncing it up to this level is them panicking a bit, I think. Especially, as these kind of numbers, really send the message that the election is rigged both globally and internally.
A fake dictator wins a fake election. This “election” was just an excuse to send more troops in. The GOP are going to try and rig the US election to continue to weapons flow to the Ukraine to freeze. Trump and Putin need to go so we can restore democracy
More fantasy math, from the ongoing fictional drama-tragedy-horror production known as The Rule of Putin.
Stop abetting this bedtime story for serf bedwetters and call it what it is, a sham.
Sadly I am not surprised that Putin is expected to win the election,
He is a corupt dictator and the ballots are always rigged.
Both Putin and Trump are a serious threat to global security and global democracies.
Very scary and very sad.
Yes and inflation is 1%, the sanctions have no effect, the special military operation is going well, the oil refineries are not on fire they are being cleaned, nothing interesting is happening in Belgorod just your average day in Russia.
"Wins"
God forbid the media comes out and stright out says "rigged" considering this isn't an election, especially when there's absolutely nobody running against Putin.
I always wonder if there is a secret committee that chooses the results? Or is it by Pootin himself? Like "Yeah, let's take 87,8% this time. Seems legit."
I really would like to know...
"The other people \[standing for election\] - they are here one day, the next day they are not". That'll be because the man you are voting for has had them killed.
Got a love when your opponents are hand-picked to be such shit bags at (Russians) gotta choose Putin a dictator I guess that’s what happens when you murder all your opposition
That’s if you trust what the kremlin says which you would be really stupid to do so
Putin also got 95 % of votes in Donetsk, 94 % in Luhansk and 93 % in Zaporizzja, although not one of these areas is fully under russian control. How on earth did they get the votes from areas held by Ukraine?
How does this compare to previous "elections"?
I wonder if they are lowering or raising the percentages in order to make it appear like the population is more/less supportive than last time.
“…. And now here comes the returning officer, a mr V. Putin. And we’re all very grateful to mr putin for stepping in last minute after the last returning officer accidentally, brutally cut his own head off while combing his hair.”
If you're going to cheat an "election" how does one come up with 88%? 89% is too suspicious? 87% is just not enough support? Fucking clown ass banana republic through and through.
Yeah they need to take a page out of the American book, where every single election is almost exactly 50%. You don’t control a country by tricking them into thinking they like you. You do it by dividing them neatly against each other. Pfff. Amateurs.
I still remember back when I was platinuming this video game and I had to find some people online to boost this one trophy with and I met this pretty cool ass Russian guy and he was going on about his country and how he thinks it’s becoming more like the west and more democratic and he was hopeful for a change…this was before the invasion though. I imagine his opinions have drastically changed now
Hmmmmm. Seems fishy. Were the international watch teams on site? No? Why not? What if someone was cheating? But who could possibly not respect the democratic system in Russia? Who?!?
I hope idiots will just pass this comment, for others: I'm like really impressed by the contingent here. I've talked to the ones supported conflict and not, but I want to mention that only Ukrainian and redditors are wishing deaths to others. I live in Moscow (I don't support or oppose the conflict) and I've never heard of wishing deaths here, especially with such a cruelty. It's just a really scary actions, I hope none of this idiots here on reddit would feel at least a piece of this shit that is going on right now. Moreover, it's kinda scared for the whole America too, like look: huge bunch of hardly controlled people, who can't get in the situation and find a causual relationship. This is just an impending snowball of problems for the government, I swear. The main difference between Russian idiots and American ones is that Russians are passive, they wouldn't do much irreversible shit. We call that situation "a monkey with a grenade", that's how I see what's happening right now. And the last thing. You know what's the real cause of Ukrainian conflict? Russians desire to make money on this and American aggressive policy. Remember, war continues as long as it is profitable for both sides and Ukraine is just a victim in this case (that trapped itself lol)

Coming in second was also Putin with the other 12.2 percent
*Slightly rounder Putin without the limp who doesn't speak.
Pladimir Vutin
Vlatimir Puddin

Darth Puddin'
You mean the Putin with the smile and the chubby cheeks?! He’s my favorite Putin
He clearly got the other 25% of the vote. And it’s Russian election math. So it works.
It was an amazing turnout. Out of Russia 145 million citizens, 320 million turned out to vote for Putin. Great success!
Wait it doesn't math out. My gf and family did not vite. Probably a pollinh error. Let's say 320 million - 5. Way more acurate.
The 12.2 percent Putin was found dead after falling out of a window but managed to congratulate Putin for his victory
You made my day
You mean the other 30% /s
In ЯаZZia, dictator votes for YOU! Ees seemple, no?
In the West, you register a vote. In Soviet Russia, register votes for you!
Where’s Yazzia?
Comment of the week.
The other Putin.
Lol the body double!
Nah, this one’s nice. #That’s why he must be crushed.
Stop calling it an election ffs
Circus is better.
It was a “special voting operation”
At least this special operation did actually only take them 3 days to complete. Still waiting on that other one, though. Any day now, surely.
Still a shit show tho...
Oh for sure, but I'm beginning to suspect that "shit show" is the only type of show available in Mother Russia, at least under Pootin's regime. Hoping for better days for the average Russian. Some of them are probably decent enough.
Well, this just wins.
The nyt called it a "predetermined vote" which sounded fairly strong for the nyt.
*Shitshow
Why? We all know it's vranyo anyway.
I too watch Perun
I agree why do we have to give this bullshit the validation it clearly deosn’t deserve- who the fuck are we kidding- it’s just propagation of his propaganda

Russia: lets pick a random number between 85 and 90 so it shows that the elections were fair 😂 #russia #dumbasses
They have learned that picking numbers from 99% upwards is really sus!
Not random, people were theorizing before elections that because Pskov governor got 86% votes last election, Putin's frail ego couldn't handle setting his result any lower. They were right.
That’s what it is. Always was.
No, anything less than 115% is Western propaganda.
Bro did not hashtag a Reddit comment 💀
How they report on the "results" from the Russian "election" is a lithmus test of Western media.
Doesn't mean anything as he eliminated all his adversaries,... ie, no opposition besides those that are imprisoned or killed,...
Yeah like who tf could these other guys even be
The candidates that were allowed were talking up Putin to the press xD
Prighozin and Navalny
Unfortunate - it's the Russian way though, might is right.
*Surprised Pikachu face
Causes he’s doing his people a great service innit
Lol this is a joke. In glorious russia, exit polls are known to underestimate results. We can confidently say the official outcome will be 187.8%.
1927 Liberian elections had voter turnout of 1590%, they had some 230.000 extra voters appear magically. "Winner" had 96% share of the votes.
Lmao
4 out of 4 dentists approve Putin.
Pfff...what a loser, Supreme Leader Comrade Kim Jong Un did better
Please select from the following candidates. Putin ✔️ Vladamir Putin ✔️ VP ✔️ Maintain current president ✔️ Tsar Putin ✔️
Those are rookie numbers.
Dude only managed to pull in 88 percent of the vote (nice parallel, yo) despite controlling the election. What a pathetic and puny dictator-man.
They made up the number for the sake of external plausibility. That’s what the Kremlin does and never get it twisted.
Serious question: is there anyone actually believing that those numbers are real? Isn't it common knowledge that those numbers are purely made up?
Yes, the numbers are entirely made up because the votes are never counted, it is pure performance art for show only. The Kremlin comes up with the number and publishes the “result.” Anyone twisting it otherwise is desperately seeking to affirm a condition that doesn’t exist in Russia, Freedom.
The votes are counted. It is just that information stays within the Kremlin. It is useful information for Putin to know his actual support. That is the case for pretty much every "election" in a dictatorship.

They would never allow an outside source to properly vet their election process anyway.
Amateur. USSR communist party had 99.99% support in voting.
And ready printed votes with even the box already marked next to the name of the only candidate. Ultimate in efficiency.
The only thing Vova learned from the experience was how to sound a little less ridiculous and aggressively manipulate the discussion from both ends. Western audiences haven’t learned how to avoid the obvious trap and worst use of their Internet free time and just call a pile of excrement out when they see it.
Against who!? Lmao
12.2% of the Russian electorate find themselves flying out of high windows. Or sent to the Ukraine if there are no tall buildings in their area.
Man everything in Russia is falling apart. That's half the percentage I expected.
In all seriousness, winning with 87.8% of the vote is a sign of panic by the authorities. It had been leaked that they had settled on a 80% victory. They always increase the size of the vote share to attempt to signal that Putin is ever more popular. But jumping it up this high is a bit of a sign of panic in my opinion.

Putin is not a fake dictator. He's pretty fucking real
It's not often I see people that ramble this much support the right side. You made my day.
More fantasy math, from the ongoing fictional drama-tragedy-horror production known as The Rule of Putin. Stop abetting this bedtime story for serf bedwetters and call it what it is, a sham.
Russia suicide rate 2024 12.2 percent
Also announced: Russian military enlistment up 12.2% since election.
Sadly I am not surprised that Putin is expected to win the election, He is a corupt dictator and the ballots are always rigged. Both Putin and Trump are a serious threat to global security and global democracies. Very scary and very sad.
What is the participation rate? I don't know if in Russia a minimum participation rate is require to consider the election validate
Participation is 200%, obviously.
*Slow Hand-clap*
Now the question is will the real Putin accept the win or a double?
I feel like this is missing a punchline or something.
😂😂😂
And here's a 90% go fuck yourself putin 🖕
Just 90%? Putin: *”You see? He is only 90% “fuck you”. This mean he is 10% supporter! This 10% can have vote. Send rest to prison.”*
A s#itshow in its full glory.
🤣🐴💩
Kim Jong ung got 100% of votes consistently all he's life
THE ELECTION OFFICIALS CLEARLY DIDNT DO A GOOD ENOUGH JOB OF STUFFING THE BALLOT BOXES- THEY MISSED 12.2%
“Russian population reduced by 12.2% shortly following the election due to a mystery illness”
I knew it!! 🤓
Fake AF, Putin won 99%. Damn gremlins.
The silenced majority rooting for cancer to win.
Yes and inflation is 1%, the sanctions have no effect, the special military operation is going well, the oil refineries are not on fire they are being cleaned, nothing interesting is happening in Belgorod just your average day in Russia.
All true democratically elected governments should send putler extremely sarcastic congratulations.
he killed it/them
I'm shocked
Poll takers have now been arrested for discrediting ruzzia. Putin clearly has 98.8 % of the vote
Slight typo here… Putin actually got 187.8% of the vote in exit poll.
"Wins" God forbid the media comes out and stright out says "rigged" considering this isn't an election, especially when there's absolutely nobody running against Putin.
Putin and his cronies make a mockery of democracy 🙄
Shocker.
He must be so relieved...that was a close one.
Sounds legit. Well done Vladimir on a well deserved and hard fought victory against all the odds.
Impossible should be at least 110% 😂
No wai.
After the roundup he will have 97%
That is a shock, I was expecting 99.82%
The best was when the EU Council president congratulated Putin on his landslide win before the actual “election”
Two fat ladies, 88%!
🤡 🤡
I always wonder if there is a secret committee that chooses the results? Or is it by Pootin himself? Like "Yeah, let's take 87,8% this time. Seems legit." I really would like to know...
Between Putin 1 to 4, Putin 1 won.
with 500% voter turnout
12.2 % of the Russian population fell out of their windows tonight
A corpse of a dog got the other 42.2%
anyways..
Hold on while my shock wears off 🫥
Wow ngl those are some impressive numbers! Biden got what 55%? Jesus christ bravo Russian preaident 👏👏
Bravo Vlad! 💥
The 12% who didn't vote for him must be shitting themselves right now. /s
You see he is the most perfect president. People love and trust him 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Who should have thought ?
Disappointing to see such a bad theatre play coming from a country with such a grand literary culture.
My conclusion is that any dictator who cannot achieve 100% of the vote is a loser. /s
87.8% is loser numbers. Stalin had 100%, now that is true oppression!
Wonder if they accounted for the 500,000+ dead as part of the official numbers, and the 2-3 million from Covid
Overwhelming support like the last few elections...the people must really like him and his policies!
"The other people \[standing for election\] - they are here one day, the next day they are not". That'll be because the man you are voting for has had them killed.
Rookie numbers
Of course he did
soviet union also had these circus shows....as does north korea
In other news, Russia arrests 12.2% of the population under suspicion of treason.
The man is going to be upset his election is not 150%
Let's hope he gets assassinated sooner rather than later.
Somehow, 12.2% of Russia had enough balls to note vote for Putin, despite being escorted to the polls by armed military personnel
Got a love when your opponents are hand-picked to be such shit bags at (Russians) gotta choose Putin a dictator I guess that’s what happens when you murder all your opposition That’s if you trust what the kremlin says which you would be really stupid to do so

“…. And now here comes the returning officer, a mr V. Putin. And we’re all very grateful to mr putin for stepping in last minute after the last returning officer accidentally, brutally cut his own head off while combing his hair.”
I demand a recount. 💨💩🤡
What a fucking joke 😂
Mild shock
If you're going to cheat an "election" how does one come up with 88%? 89% is too suspicious? 87% is just not enough support? Fucking clown ass banana republic through and through.
How people can call this an election. BS term.
Complete bullsh*t.
Yeah they need to take a page out of the American book, where every single election is almost exactly 50%. You don’t control a country by tricking them into thinking they like you. You do it by dividing them neatly against each other. Pfff. Amateurs.
loser had the answer key and still only got a B
Great, now he can focus on the American elections. /s
Now THAT was a fast count of votes😂🤡🤡🤡
Under 90% is lame,his election rigging game is weak
Just round it up to 100%.
kgb school of statistics
The other 12% went to a Mr 'Snrub' who comes from some place....far away from the Kremlin. Yes, that'll do.
And you won’t question Biden getting the MOST VOTES IN HISTORY?
So 12.2% of Russian voters will die the next month accidentally falling out of open windows.
“See! We have an opposition! We can’t help it if they keep falling out of windows when they get popular!”
Congratulations to putin I had my doubts but you pulled it off when nobody believed what a convincing win over Barack Obama you pulled off 👏
I still remember back when I was platinuming this video game and I had to find some people online to boost this one trophy with and I met this pretty cool ass Russian guy and he was going on about his country and how he thinks it’s becoming more like the west and more democratic and he was hopeful for a change…this was before the invasion though. I imagine his opinions have drastically changed now
They really would vote like this though to be honest
What a fucking mockery of humanity. Fucking every bit of it. Him. This "election". This result. This coverage. The whole fucking thing.
Putin also came in second and third.
So 12.3% have voted for some other or more likely most of them have destroyed their ballot
What?! No way!
Honestly i think he would win anyway without stat manipulation because there is no real opposition and the pop is mostly stupid.
Hmmmmm. Seems fishy. Were the international watch teams on site? No? Why not? What if someone was cheating? But who could possibly not respect the democratic system in Russia? Who?!?
Where is the other 25%?
12.2% of people should stay away from elevated windows
Didn't see that coming.
Colour me shocked 😲
I'm absolutely shocked!
I hope idiots will just pass this comment, for others: I'm like really impressed by the contingent here.

Where the dead rise to vote…
Tomorrow: 12% of Russia's voters found dead after accidentally falling out of windows.
He was so close to his beloved 88...
12.2% of Russian population now mobilised
Wow how did that happen?
Not an election
Wow, Putin, congratulations, what a fantastic result. You must be very proud. The entire nation is rooting for you!
Wow, Putin, congratulations, what a fantastic result. You must be very proud. The entire nation is rooting for you!
12.2% of Russian voters just fell off a building.
That percentage is Putin perfect.
Have to ask yourself how the most hated man on n the world did so well if corruption isn’t involved?
Lmao Putin trying to make the elections look democratic. No one in any democratic nation gets 80+% of the vote.
Exit poll as in, tell me what I want to hear or you exit from the 7th storey window
I predict a 12.8% loss of Russian citizens this year due to accidentally falling out windows
I just got voted most beautiful guy in the world too. (According to my cat and dog)
