On the third day of the Russian presidential election, the plebiscite is underway. Russian President Vladimir Putin was credited with more than 87% of the vote according to the first results on Sunday evening.

“Family values, stability. We lived in the 1990s, we know how essential this is,” says a retiree who voted for Putin. Retirees are also the age group that has always supported and still supports the decision to send troops to Ukraine most widely in Russia.
