Vladimir Putin: Millions of votes manipulated in presidential election?
As the Ukrainian news portal
The Kyiv Independent
reports, it is estimated that at least 22 million to around 31.6 million votes were manipulated.
And that is without taking into account the elections under repression and pressure in the areas of Ukraine occupied by Russia in violation of international law.
The evidence of election fraud included video recordings from polling stations and a mathematical analysis of election data, according to the report from the online newspaper from Kiev.
“This is the Chechenization of the electoral process,” Russian political scientist Dmitri Oreshkin told
The Kyiv Independent
.
It is an indication that election results across the Russian Federation are now said to be similar to those in the Caucasian republic of Chechnya.
According to the report, Ramzan Kadyrov's regime there is known for blatant electoral fraud.
“There has never been so much election fraud,” Oreshkin continued.

Under Vladimir Putin: Reports of major election fraud in Russia
According to The Kyiv Independent,
Russian election expert Sergei Shpilkin has
also developed a mathematical method to classify the extent of voter fraud in elections in Russia.
Simplified: If voter turnout increases at the same time as a candidate's result, a so-called "comet tail" appears in a graphic.
The fabricated increase in official voter turnout is therefore seen as a typical method of concealed election manipulation.
And: According to Shpilkin, in this “comet’s tail” in Putin’s most recent election, his results increased at the same time as the partly fictitious voter turnout.
In addition, the election results in 2024 would have reached round numbers.
This can only be explained with the assumption that election commissions were given round numbers by the Kremlin, said Russian election expert Ivan Shukshin in an interview with the same Ukrainian news site.
According to official information from Moscow, Putin reportedly received 87.26 percent of the vote in the presidential election.
Three “candidates” previously approved by the Kremlin ended up with 4.18 percent, 4.00 percent and 3.13 percent of the vote.
According to Western observers, her candidacy was intended to give the election a pseudo-democratic appearance.
Vladimir Putin: Russia's ruler holds on despite huge losses in Ukraine
Shortly after the election there were reports of alleged manipulation of results in Russia.
Two election observers observed members of the Russian election commission in Moscow documenting false results after the votes were counted, the opposition
Moscow Times
reported .
Election observers, who were authorized to check the counted and documented votes, were ignored.
Just one example among many.
While the Russian autocrat Putin is fomenting a new conflict in the Balkans and stubbornly blaming Ukraine for the terrorist attack near Moscow, he continues to remain rigid in office - even despite huge losses in the Ukraine war.
