Vladimir Putin culminated his staging of the presidential elections with a macro-concert in Red Square for the tenth anniversary of the illegal annexation of Crimea. Putin scored 87.28% of the votes in elections without any real opposition candidate and numerous complaints of irregularities.
“Crimea is not just a strategic territory. It's not just our history, our pride. "They are our people," Putin said 10 years after his troops entered the Black Sea peninsula without insignia to take it.
