Vladimir Putin, who voted online on Friday, is assured of being re-elected, with no opposition being accepted. Three other candidates were allowed to participate in the vote, none directly opposing Kremlin policies.

Moscow, which refutes these criticisms, says it has accredited 300,000 observers. The first day of the election was punctuated by damage to polling stations, acts whose motives remain to be clarified, denounced the Russian president. The Russian president came to power 24 years ago, more than Nadezhda's age.
