He became acting president when Boris Yeltsin resigned on 31 December 1999, and won next year’s election. He has already served as Russian leader for longer than any other ruler but Joseph Stalin and later in March, he is expected to sweep the vote to claim his fifth presidential term in stage-managed elections no one doubts he will win.
From puppeteering public opinion through state TV and propaganda, to widespread allegations of vote rigging, as well as the elimination of prominent opposition politicians such as Alexei Navalny, the Guardian's Russia correspondent Andrew Roth explains the Kremlin science behind Putin's victories - and why, despite his certainty of success, holding elections is still so significant.

#Putin #Russia #RussianElections
The same question: why China 🇨🇳 always met its GDP target. LOL
Its funny because in the uk, not one leader is choosen by the public. All are unelected and installed, like toilets. 😂
really? Don't the public vote during elections?)
@@alexandervladimirov3939the people who cast votes decide nothing, the people who count the votes decide everything
@@alexandervladimirov3939 How many votes got Sunak in public ellection ?
@@MacCrackCan 13,966,454 votes
@@alexandervladimirov3939Not sure where you got that figure from because Sunak was never put to a public vote, he was unopposed within the party because Liz Truss was such a disaster - Liz Truss who was voted in because Boris Johnson was a perpetual liar and whose electors were Tory party members who number about 200k and have an average age of 107, or thereabouts :)
Took lessons from the Tories
Why Putin always win election : because USA never invade Russia.
OOOPPSS 😂
Why does the candidate with the fewest votes win in the United States? Because there is no democracy there.
Why would usa want to invade Russia ?
Because they can't. Russia has more nukes and landmass than the US. Russia may not have advanced technology to match the US military, but they have a large nuclear stockpile.
Strangely, the Russian have also seen their quality of life improve unlike the U.K. since 2000 😢
What is your definition of quality of life? Living without liberty?
You do realise where the standard of living for russians was at the turn of the century less than 10 years after the collapse of the warsaw pact right? XD the only way to go was up, that doesnt mean they have overtaken anybody
@@dh5380US have no freedom
Да нам в России хорошо живётся
@@dh5380what's liberty for you?
He will win "110" % of the vote....he is that popular.
I can’t wait to vote for Putin
Popular? Lol you mean feared?
@@uniniversalstar1974 Biden is feared. He is moving to nuclear war
Like Biden getting those 81 million votes
@chadhaire1711 I guess the jury who heard the evidence against foreign owned Fox News, were wrong. They voted against Fox and awarded Dominion Voting Systems a huge amount in damages 💔. Truth over fiction and fantasies.
I know. It's outragious! Such a thing would never happen in the USA would it? 😄😄😄😄😄
the bots in the comments here is hilarious XD pathetic
If you want to see a stage managed election look at the US later this year.
You do not have to guess about this year, 2024, just look at the 2020 "managed" election.
@@glaucouswingedgull - People were sick of the imbecilic and incompetent Trump. It's that simple.
Why has The Guardian not bothered to support Navalny in the past 10 years? There is no point in lamenting loss without being a member of the 4th element?
Navalny had no chance. This is a petty criminal who was not needed by anyone.
@@user-si2dr1pn3p A petty criminal who demonstrated he had real balls unlike cowardly Putin.
Navalny sponsored by usa.
@@1domcoukThis didn't prevent him from selling the forest without documents and taxes. He was just plundering Russia.
They got disqualified because critic and betrayal
What a joke after the 2020 US Election
No evidence presented otherwise.
yea, like a parallel universe except we respect term limits
Oh yes and the elections in the UK ,USA ,Canada etc etc .. are all so "democratic" aren't they!!
Because he is the best man
Clips of unconnected scenes, dude talking in a room far away from facts, check true videos from many people actually there
Because he is the best
It's only your opinion
@@Merania nope. This will probably be difficult for you to hear, but if you come to Russia and ask random people about who they want to see as president of their country, then 70% will answer you Putin. Without even thinking.
Everyone in the UK and in the USA loves and supports Putin❤❤❤! We stand with him every day!
I do as well.
@@paulanderson7796 well done, bro
There is plenty who wouldn't, so not everyone.
Maybe he's taking advice from Joe Biden?
If he wants to wins it is correct decesion .
yes...the criminal always wins. Obviously ..you're happy with that.

Who is CIA alway says to all of respect of this organisation possible then answer will be available to here ,but it is not possible without trust respect on CIA I am not humble person , strictly which is actual only remember it
Habituated behaviour as habituated it has no changes but think it as response as CIA might be wrong
World banks situation very poor relief of it from US war decesion
@@user-ho1ln5ny1r what does this have to do with my comment. i was simply pointing out that you're giving a free pass to a war criminal. and an election cheat.
Whataboutism is a childs argument.
Of course if you are dictator with delusions of grandeur. The same criminal that robs his own people to enrich himself.
Western leaders should send congratulations to Putin on his election win as the voting opens.
The people of Russia have a choice- come to Sunny Isle beach Florida- little Russia- they love Russia and love Florida. This is so misleading.
😅How are the Ukrainian elections in which 11 parties were banned, including the second largest party in the country?
Ukraine is under martial law like most countries would be with a full invasion... No elections under martial law.
Shhhh, you're only allowed to say bad things about Russia. UKruin is a bastion of light and prosperity.
Why do we care how Russia runs its internal politics? What would we say if Russia complained that the UK PM was not democratically elected? Because he's not, is he? Can we not just leave other countries alone to run things in the way they deem best for their people and economy?
Exceptionalism from a degrading western civilisation media.
Mr Roth are you living in the real world !? What you've described goes on all over this planet. Furthermore this Putin bashing by Americans is ridiculous. GET YOUR OWN HOUSE IN ORDER FIRST
Your part of the problem putin got his chance time to let someone else try his a dictator your fool not to believe that
Congratulations saviour of mankind President Putin and all the Russians.
It's rigging according to the guardian, only because america and uk can't interfere.
Can't western media just focus on their own countries? Is there nothing to talk about Rishi Sunak, Biden or Macron?
It's not profitable)))
Everything what I wanted to write down. You are so correct, well said 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Shame on you
And you have your so-called elections changing cast playing the same characters.
Bot
So just like Biden then?
Sour grapes available at 10 Downing Street today.
Lol he has 80% approval rating, cope harder western bois😂😂
navalny.

@@madtechnocrat9234 Putin... What about it?
@@sondoobie1987 navalny.
In the moment, he's the one who can protect he's big country. No matter what any country leaders say. But, already NATO tanks near Ukraine. Its still same near Russian border... big mistake.
No rigging in the USA....why do you not focus on your internal problems in the UK. PS get a real job. Since you must be on the Gov payroll. Spreading BS.
Nonsense
I voted for Putin, and you take care of your own country lol
Western countries are soooooo pure 😂😂😂😂
whataboutism is the argument of a child..
No one ever said that. Lol. Nice strawman argument. Desperate.
@@ph-vf5hx Not at all. They are much worse in fact. That’s full of facts historically no straws 💡👍🏽
Hes raised the standard of living ...that's why he wins elections. He is not only voted in...he is LOVED by most of his people.
He is indeed. He's not popular for no reason. Most of the world like him, apart from the English speaking "West". Judging by comments here even the English cannot use their own language.
Rozprávaš hlúposti, nevieš pochopiť, že ľudia mu dôverujú a podporujú ho????🤔😊👍Vy vo vašom pomýlenom chorom svete nemáte ani potuchy, čo znamená " čestný muž" ktorý drží svoje slovo a je milovaný svojimi ľuďmi vo veľkom mnohonárodnostnom Rusku...👍😊🍀🙏 Rozmýšľaj, kým zase povieš lož!!!!!!A uč sa, nikdy nie je neskoro!!!!😱😱😱🙏 Vážim si ho a podporujem zo Slovenska, rozumieš? 😊👍❤️🍀🌹🙏🇸🇰
And US does not rig elections 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My mother voted for Putin by her own choice ❤ Путин молодец, western countries hate Russia 🇷🇺 My mother said there were a lot of candidates on the list.
Uh huh, so do us democrats hahaha he just taking a clue bud
I heard he lost the election and is going back to driving a cab. lol
You are like naaldy....you work for the cia. Learn about rusia 1990...just that!!
Election denial 🙄
I love putin i love russian ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The entire world needs Vladimir Putin to be reelected. He is by far the most sensible, erudite, honest and wise leader anywhere and in this time of monumental change he is the guiding light that will lead us, along with Xi Jinping, out of the current darkness.
You get a choice, of vote, box 1 putin, box2 , putin. box 3 , putin. and if you spoil your paper it goes to putin , now thats russian democracy at work. 👍🏻
Just like the Democrat's
Russia can ignore all west.😊
the left/right charade of the democratic process is far more just and fair,
Who voted for Sunak btw?
You don't vote for Prime Ministers.
Great summary 👍
Putin ❌
And here are the candidates..
1.Vladimir Putin (Monster Raving Loonie Party.. Russian version)
2. Refer to 1
Rigging the vote:USA game
because russians love him, Simple.
All Russians? Or just 30%?)
The most sold vodka brand is called Putin 😊
They have to love him or they get pushed out a window
@@ssuwandi3240 you are wrong, it’s called Pootinka and it’s not the most popular)
@@alexandervladimirov3939 so you're not a Russian because the brand plays upon President Putin. Not the oldest brand but I it's popular amongst tourists not politicians or politics enthusiasts
Zelenskyy stopped elections, strangely people vote for leaders who improve their life. No options that do that in the postponed uk elections
Slovensko+Rusko❤❤❤ Putin je najlepší prezident
💙💛💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🇬🇧
You know, I've never voted for him. But on this day, I chose him because he has done what others (Kennedy, Gaddafi) couldn't do, and we're selling our oil, gas and metals for our rubles, not dollars. Of course our life hasn't become much better these days because of the war. But when it stop, I'm sure, our economy will explode, because thanks for USA we are building a lot of factories and not buying ready things.
We love Putin as he changes Russia for better each year. Hope he will be president as long as possible 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🐻🐻🐻
