I support Prokhorov, 'cause he is lesser evil. Until he announced, I suppported Yavlinsky.

Yavlinsky's bid rejected.

Amazing Zyuganov (funny way of writing the name, you Anglos have) may well be the only major Russian politician from the 1990s to still be relevant in some way.

Zhirinovsky?

LOLNO

What is it like to cast a vote in an election where you don't know whether your ballot will be "corrected", dumped in the nearest river, compensated for by 10 Putin votes that come out of nowhere or be chosen as one of the few non-Putin ballots the electoral commission has to accept in order to render the result still somewhat believable?

There is a one lil' trick in Russian elections - if you boycott it, they find your name in the voter list, and cast your ballot for guess who?

Guess who first send their congratulations to Putin.
