Elections in Russia preliminary results are published, Putin wins about 88

Russia has released preliminary results of a presidential election in which the opposition was crushed, saying authoritarian leader Vladimir Putin won nearly 88 percent of the vote.

Putin will extend his rule of almost a quarter of a century for another six years, after a merciless war on opponents and dissenters.

Russia's Central Election Commission said that, according to preliminary results, Putin won nearly 88 percent of the vote.

According to the FOM exit poll, Putin won 87.8 percent of the votes, while according to the Public Research Center of Russia (VCIOM), Putin won 87 percent of the votes.

Voting on March 17, the last day of the three-day election, was held virtually unopposed for Putin, but under missile and drone attacks from Ukraine.
