Preliminary results in the elections in Russia: another victory for Putin, who wins about 88% of the votes - voila! news. The incumbent president is expected to continue in the top position in the country for another 6 years.
In doing so, he will overtake Stalin as the longest-serving leader of Russia. "These are the most closed, most secret elections in the history of Russia," said Stanislav Andreychuk, who heads an independent body that monitors the presidential elections.
