Putin's margin of victory was the best so far in presidential elections he has been involved inPutin’s margin of victory was the best so far in presidential elections he has been involved in – surpassing his highest in four previous elections of 76.7% in 2018, when there was a 67.5% turnout.
The election took place amid attacks within Russia by Ukrainian missiles and drones, which have killed several people. Polling happened in a tightly controlled environment where Putin only faces competition from three token rivals and any public criticism of him or his war in Ukraine is stifled. Navalny’s associates urged those unhappy with Putin or the war to protest by coming to the polls at noon on Sunday — and lines outside a number of polling stations both inside Russia and at its embassies around the world appeared to swell at that time.
