Moscow (CNN) -- Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin declared victory in the country's presidential election late Sunday, telling a crowd of thousands near Moscow's Red Square that "we have won" even as the votes were still being counted.
"We have won an open and honest fight," Putin told the cheering and flag-waving supporters who had braved the cold in Manezhnaya Square for hours to hear his expected victory speech.
With 30% of the votes counted Sunday night, Putin had 63.44% of the vote, more than enough for him to avoid a runoff. His closest challenger, Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov, had 17.23%; the other three candidates were in the single digits

So, who's surprised?? |

"Vladimir Putin has brushed off
allegations of electoral fraud and is
now triumphantly celebrating his
2016 Presidential election victory."
Gotta love this black sense of humour. |

I think the sense of humour is what I loved so much about the place...
Isn't this term 6 years? I thought 'robin' had the law changed? |

Ah, yes, that's right I think. But, like most people here, I never pay too much attention to what 'mini-me' does or says.
At least way this is cheaper. Stage just 2 elections in 12 years instead of 3! |
