Political scientist Evgeny Mikhailov: high turnout showed the world the level of unity of Russians. Mikhailov emphasized that now “the West is in hysterics” “Everything that has happened now was a complete failure of many years of work by paid foreign agents, paid structures within Russia itself, paid oppositionists,” concluded RT’s interlocutor.
