Vladimir Putin was re-elected with 87.28% of the votes for a fifth term. “Hand in hand we will move forward and this will make us stronger.

Long live Russia!” he said to a crowd in Moscow's Red Square. The elections took place a month after Putin's main detractor, Alexei Navalny, died in prison. The other three candidates obtained 4.31%, 3.85% and 3.20% respectively, according to results that do not include votes abroad.
