88?? I can't believe that, with all these candidates!!

In East Germany the people loved their nation most only weeks before collapse: 99,92% voted for the pro-soviet government.

Then the CIA dropped 20 million agents from invisible helicopters which fakes mass demonstrations and used mind-control rays to make them love the west and hate the soviet union.

In the first election after reunification the Communists got 11,1% of all votes in Former East Germany. Damned CIA mind control rays.

Have they voted yet, or is 88% what they decided the result is going to be?

88? What a coincidence

when do you get to call a dictator a dictator? when he stops with the pretend elections?

88 just happens to be a Nazi reference used by white supremacists. Curious coincidences.

88% is a little too on the nose, Putin

I just want to point out here that this is what many Trump voters are hoping for. If you’re a US citizen, please vote in November.

even in a rigged election that stupid cunt isn't able to achieve over 90%. what an absolute worthless sucker!

Fast forward to the point where you put an end to your miserable life you russian fuck and finally relieve us from your existence!

I dare you to scroll these comments until you find a hexbear CCP cuck insulting the "liberal west", it'll be a fun 20 seconds.

One of my favorite traditions is world leaders congratulating Putin the day before Russian elections.

Accidents already planned for the administrators who allowed the 12% through.

This month's list of executions is relatively long

Why do they bother with this show? Do Russians think they live in a democracy? Who is this for?

12% of the population will fall from some window??

saying “nobody in history has ever succeeded” in suppressing the will of Russians

Nobody except you

88? He's slipping!

88? Only?

Election, my arse 🤦🏻‍♂️

Russia is a fascist dictatorship.

I suspect that Trump will congratulate him on his win soon.

The only surprise is that he hasn't won by 187%.

Managed Democracy carefully selected the best candidate for each citizen to vote for. According to the best algorithms.

Those quote marks around the 'wins' are just great.

88% is so typical - for Nazis it means the eight letter of the alphabet twice, which means "Heil Hitler". Given that the Z symbol of his genocidal war looks like a half Swastika we can now finally agree: Putin is the reincarnation of Hitler.

Isn't this a failure? He didn't have any real opposition, 88% is an abysmal result.

I would like to see Trump talk about the 12% of fake voters that Russia has.

Remember kids, you too can do whatever the fuck you want, if you own a nuke.

Trump is literally trying to copy this guy, if you don't believe it it's because you're willingly ignoring it

Crap I forgot to vote is there still time?

Would you vote against him knowing that could be your death?

Elections? Where we're going we don't need elections.

Now let's get this post soviet sham of a democracy up to 88 miles per hour.

Does this mean 12% of the population is about to fall out of windows?

My 127% prediction can still be realized. The 400k+ votes from the Ukraine still need to come in. That has some delay as not all registered voters have been identified...

It's 80/80 as expected

His main electoral base is as old as him though, mostly.

Very auspicious

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Vladimir Putin tightened his grip on power, claiming another six-year term as Russian president after a brutally distorted election in which all serious challengers were wiped out before voting began.

The result more than met the objective of an overwhelming victory to buttress Putin’s claim that Russians wholeheartedly back their leader and his invasion of Ukraine.

The election campaign, which saw three other candidates refrain from criticizing the president, was overshadowed by the death last month of Putin’s key opponent, Alexei Navalny.

Unusually large crowds were seen at polling stations across Russia, from the smallest Siberian towns to Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as at Russian embassies and consulates worldwide — from Phuket to Paris and Brussels.

“This is a great opportunity to create the appearance that there are people who are not satisfied with the current state of affairs, who are willing to unite for collective action, and there are many of them,” — said Daniel, who voted in the Russian consulate in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Ekaterina Duntsova and Boris Nadezhdin — two potential candidates who advocated for immediate peace negotiations and an end to the war — were barred from running against Putin in the contest.

The original article contains 720 words, the summary contains 198 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

My left nut came in second! It's cuz it's a little bit larger than Putin.

This is stability that long-term planners appreciate.

He looks ecstatic about his win.

Guessing nobody read the article....

What a spineless populace.
